A lot of different opinions and interpretations. What is the general consensus?

That umpires need to get rid of this stoopid "stand normal" mentality and call the SZ.

first of all, and most important, i think the player should figure out the umpires strike zone, that zone is really the only one that matters, right? second, anyone who has been hit, at least a couple dozen times, while working the bases has zero credibility.
