We're not really discussing a RULE. We're talking about when a judgment is made.
I've seen some umpires call strikes too soon and I've seen some umpires wait an insufferable amount of time before indicating the pitch was a strike. Either way, it was a strike. You can't say that they've changed the strikezone, can you? Is one umpire "breaking the rules?"
Imagine yourself an ASA umpire evaluator. You are tasked to watch me umpire. The play we've been debating occurs. I make my final ruling using MY way of thinking. How is it you would be able to determine that I am not doing it the ASA-way?
You guys are most entertaining. I should really post here more often.
