Strike zone

[buckweat]

Very nice post Tim!

I certainly agree that “It would be impossible for a “human” umpire of quality to call the rule book strike zone”. There’s no human on the face of the earth that has the ability to make all the mental calculations necessary to call a pitch correctly and accurately in the amount of time given, and at he same time completely ignore the rest of the world. That’s why its called “judgment”.

However, just because we humans can’t do it, doesn’t mean its impossible, rather that its acceptable. ;-)

You’re also correct that the “experience” of seeing the differences between theory and reality in threads like this is pretty neat. It only adds to the knowledge base. No one is really right or wrong, but they should at least have the courage of their convictions and remain open to other possibilities.
