After a tournament game last year, a pitcher told me that my strike zone was the worst he had seen in 22 years of pitching slow pitch. (His team lost that game 22-7.)
I noticed on the bracket sheet later that his team lost their second game, too, which knocked them out of the double-elim tourney. That score was 19-4.
You can be sure that my strike zone (and the next guy's) cost them a trophy.
Around here, probably elsewhere too, there's a term to refer to such teams: two and 'cue (lose 2 and then barbecue).
