Well it's consistent

Yep

Hess will DOMINATE with this strike zone. No way anybody is hitting 96 4 inches off the plate.

Consistently bad, How the hell did this guy get to be a CWS umpire.

He's not going to let you sit back and take walks.

Good. College pitchers should have more liberal strike zones or else you'll get a walk fest like we've seen every other game

This is payback for all those bullshite walks that lead to the Grand slam on monday. Could not get a strike to save our lives. That ump squeezed hard.

I like the result, but this sport has always had an inconsistent rules issue. Strike zones should only ever change in accordance with the body of the batter, not by the eyes of an ump. Until baseball has a consistent strike zone it is tainted.

Exactly. That's why this type of ump calls a wide strike zone. To eliminate that kind of crap. He rewards more aggressive batting teams.

Could you do better????

I kind of disagree. I think ultimately the strike zone should remain in human hands. There's something about the judgment that just makes the game more dynamic. It causes pitchers and catchers and batters to have to change their strategies in game. If it was computer monitored the game would become too stale.

That said, baseball is a miserable sport to watch when the umpire has a small strike zone.

It's officially not consistent.
