The Critic

Recommended Posts

I've noticed lately that the strike above the belt buckle is once again dead and gone. The heat must be off of the umpires to call it, because they all seem to have reverted to the buckle-to-the-knees strike zone.

 

Leave umpires alone and they will go back to calling whatever they feel like, regardless of that silly little rulebook...

You know a generation ago the AL was known for its "high" strike zone. I don't know what a guy like Hall of Famer Jim Palmer would do in todays game. He was known for his high hard fastball. He wouldn't get a call today.
