This call takes gonads, but as a lower level NCAA umpire (2 D-III conferences), I appreciate what the big boys are doing WRT balks and the strike zone (moving it up). It makes my job a heckuva lot easier as all I have to say is -- this is how the NCAA wants it.
I've noticed though that the MLB "complete stop" is starting to take a hit. Lots of bouncing and sliding into the pitches from the set position in recent games.
