Sure, but irony doesn't always come across on the internet. You might know better, but someone might read your post and think, "OK, I can change the strike zone in some situations."

Also, in my experience the people who say stuff like this are only half joking.

10-4 on the internet thing. Perhaps some smileys would have lightened the mood of the post.

For the record: do not open up the strike zone by an acre or two. Just make a mental note that waving a bat in the strike zone doesn't belong in a baseball game, but nothing you can do to stop him from doing it.

Kind of like my favorite New York Ranger screening the goaltender by facing him and waving his stick in his face... but that is a discussion for the hockey board

I would not change the strikezone, but I would secretly wish in my heart that the pitcher would nail the batter on the forearm with a fastball.

Yes, and in the strike zone, too, so we get a dead ball strike and runners return.
