The use of the mat is a satanic tool and leads to lazy umpires with poor mechanics and NO sense of how to truly work the plate. The mat should be abolished from use, but some misguided fools thought it was easier for umpires to umpire that way. (can you tell I dont like the mat?) where the ball hits the ground has ABOSOLUTELY nothing to do with whether its a strike or not....(assuming it doesnt hit the plate..or in front of the plate)
