Do you also ignore the pitch that cuts through the front of the zone but tails away (or in, as it were), making the catcher adjust his mitt outside the zone? I was always under the impression that players and coaches liked to see strikes called. |

You stated earlier that... Quote:
Never mind... most everyone knows this answer. There is a reason why you don't see arguments on a ball beating the runner and the tag is belt high after the feet hit the bag. It's the same reason why the neighborhood play is called the way it is. The spats that occur are when it is perceived that the accepted perameters have been exceeded. (bad throw, attempted evasive action by a runner...etc) Last edited by asdf; Wed Jul 20, 2011 at 12:16pm. |

Grow up. You ask me to answer a question directed at someone else and I honestly addressed it. Stop being a child. |

You answered my question, which was in response to a claim that you made by saying "I don't know". When called on it, like always, you name call.... A wise man once said, "when you continuously tell people how much you know, you just told them you don't know very much." Wear that shoe... I'm sure it fits. |

I never once said I know more than anyone else here. I merely stated that expected calls are becoming extinct. |

I think we as an officiating community are doing away with "expected" calls in all sports not only due to instant replay...as you pointed out, we've had replay for a while now. I think it's largely being done away with because replay technology has improved immensely in the past decade. There are many more replay angles that weren't available in the past. We have HD largely available for most sports fans. We also have almost every game available on TV somewhere...unlike before where you'd only have the "Game of the Week" shown on TV. That means all 162 games by a team in MLB, 82 in the NBA and NHL, and 16 in the NFL are being scrutinized by the average Joe unlike yesteryear.

(roll eyes) You think it is legitimate to ask me to answer for a MLB executive? Amazing.

No, not everyone in the sport is 'okay with this'. A number of pitching coaches, catchers and pitchers have spoken out regarding the strike that isn't called. Quote:
