That visual got them to change (although with younger umpires today, I doubt they would get my point).

Wait, there's more than one Texas? Now I'm confused.

Interestingly enough, the strike mechanic is the same here. I'm sensing a trend. As an aside, I am not a fan of the nearly 180* hammer mechanic. It looks like the umpire is trying to grab something out of the sky.

Only in Oregon.
