re: Thoughts on the quality of the umpiring

I know each individual ump has his own "zone", but man, some of those guys really were are over the place with their calls. I'm not saying LSU didn't benefit from some of these calls, but if the're going to call everything else by the letter of the law, such as base running or leaning into pitches for example, they should try to get their shite together on calling a ball a ball, and a strike a strike.

I get what you are saying, but just remember, on the HBP, and the slide play, it is cut and dry with focal points and definitive visual information. The strike zone on the other hand is the application of an invisible, floating, three dimensional object... It is easier to miss some of those calls.
