If you do enough games, your going to eventually get the question, "Hey Blue , where is your strike zone, can you explain it?".
Legitimate question.
I used to have a partner who always would reply, "It is whereever I say it is!"
You are paid to make professional determinations about strike zones, touching a base or plate and many other decision's. Based upon your experience you are to make the best decision you can.
Were becoming like the freaking media on this forum, always perfect crtics but, useless as human beings in real life.
If after several years of officiating you can't make a professional decision of when a player has touched a plate or not, sell your dam equipment and do the rest of us a favor and quit officiating.
This applies to new officials coming up also.
