But that's not good enough. You need to be better than perfect. Ever notice in any sport broadcast and subsequent talking head shows that they find one out of hundreds of plays that may or may not have been accurate, and they hang there hat on that play. Some of these morons are showing a replay of a pitch an inning later. Where are the replays of all the good calls.

Actually, I think if they applied a computer-generated analyzation of umpire's strike zone, they may discover that, by the book, the umpire is not calling enough strikes.
