Rich,

Read what I said closely. I said he was wrong because he said he wouldn’t call what he identifies as a strike, one that touches his zone, a strike. That defies logic. He didn’t say his strike zone didn’t include that particular location, just that he wouldn’t call a hook there a strike. That makes me believe he’d call a FB, slider or some other pitch in the same exact place a strike, and is a heck of a big reason why people go nuts about consistency.

I don’t care if a blue calls corner shots at all! As long as a ball hasn’t touched HIS zone, it shouldn’t be a strike, no matter what the pitch. But, if its in his zone, it should be a strike no matter what it is. What you seem to be advocating is a zone that’s different shapes and sizes for every different type of pitch, and I can’t buy that one.
