Rich and Tee umpire BASEBALL; it appears you are umpiring NIump50-ball.
The people you are calling "lemmings" and "cowards" are, in fact, people who respect the game. You clearly believe you are bigger than the game. You need a mentor.

When was the last time you saw a 7 year old with stuff that starts at the knee and ends up near the ankles?
It's not 7 year old stuff we're talking about.
I call a strike on a pitch I clearly see pass thru the strike zone and I'm disrespecting the game? Somethings wrong with this picture.
If it was a universally accepted and fundamental truth, why is it not written down? Why, in the past 100 years has some one not thought about putting this in the rules. "If a curve ball passes thru the strike zone, but has great movement and drops to the ankles, such pitch shall not be declared a strike"
Usually fundamental truths get written down. When something becomes universally accepted it gets adopted in the rules.
Please give me the rational behind a ball passing thru the zone being called a ball.
