Devil's Advocate
Say the game has been going on for 3 hours. Both teams on done but because we need to play five innings we have to go on. One pitcher REALLY, REALLY is struggling. The score is something like 30-0 (had this one about a month ago), you are not going to change the strike zone from the one you started with. So now the sun goes down,top of the 4th, so you need to come back the next day to finish it. So the field needs to get prepped again, kids need to leave class early, transportation arranged etc. And the score is 30-0. No one wants to be there but you and your principled strike zone, you held firm and didn't change your strike zone. Ahem, lets really take this to the extreme, only one inning is played and sun goes down. So now you are on day three of this game but you held firm and and figuring in gas money you are now about to venture into taking a financial loss for holding firm on your strike zone. Everybody is PO ,the assigner is calling you and telling you to end this game. You let him know how principled you are about your strike zone. And you now wonder why you aren't getting any more games. LOL
It's called game management.
