It is that easy. We might be perfect in making that decision ... but I believe any given umpire will be more accurate and more consistent if their mindset is simply - "Did that ball touch the strike zone" as opposed to anything mentioned above. The mindset of "I'm going to give the pitcher's this" or "I'm going to give the batters that" or even "which way should I lean when in doubt" leads to bad umpiring.
