David,

Really? I was there too. I saw pitches that were much farther outside than "marginal." They were flat out ridiculous and you can't spin it differently. There were many other outstanding pitchers on other teams who were not the recipients of such strike zones. These pitchers did not need any assistance from the umpires to be effective.

I don't care how well the pitcher hits his spots, I'm not giving pitches that far off the plate a strike for Cy Young. Now there is some accountability with the advent of Questec, so they can't call the ridiculously wide pitches strikes anymore. That doesn't take anything away from the greatness of those three pitchers.
