The mat is for idiots.
The players can look and poke at the ground with the bat all day long, I don't care. I'm not there to satisfy their t-ball ego. The mat means that the strike zone is the same for someone 4' tall as well as someone 7' tall. Yeah, that sounds fair to me.
Just to make sure you don't misunderstand my feelings about the "mat", it is for idiots.
