They take the fun out of it
To me the joy of the game if dealing with the umpires.
You know if **** is umpiring that he's calling such a zone.
The next night you have **** and you know he likes to call this zone.
The batter knows it, the pitcher and catcher know it etc.,
That's the beauty of baseball. Alderson is trying to be the enforcer and show everyone he is in charge, but I think its just another "bad call" by baseball.
They should be able to look at dropping attendance and TV ratings and know that there is a problem with the game.
I love to watch a Glavine or Shilling pitch simply because they are pitchers. That's why they have won as many games as they have.
The new breed of "throwers" are the reason why we have so many HR's now and the scores are so elevated.
As we know baseball is skewed by rules in favor of the offense.
This is simply another attempt to continue that tradition.
Thanks
