Newsflash: we haven't implemented an electronic ump yet. Human error is just a reality with baseball. Have to accept it or play/watch something else.

Yeah, I'm aware. I'm also aware that the copout of "each ump has their own zone" is bullshite and protects umps from actually being forced to do a better job. The pitch was a ball, it wasn't an egregious miss and it's one that can be forgiven usually. Matt Williams probably shouldn't have freaked out like he did but toss him if it's over the line, don't act like a child and yell back into the dugout then go on a power trip afterwards. It's insane to let your ego get out of control when the pitch actually was a ball.
