[QUOTE="78pike, post: 1011267, member: 4030"] It is frustrating at times watching these games on TV because rarely does the camera line up directly with home plate. Because of that, pitches often look like they are over the plate but are actually a ball because of the TV camera angle. And you can never depend on the home crowd to give you proper feedback because they will always think anything close is a strike. Yesterday Moranda commented that they have the trackman data up in their booth so on a couple occasions he indicated the ump got the call correct. It would be nice if they were able to show trackman as part of a replay but I'm guessing the league office has a rule against that because they don't want to start a Holy War between the umps and everyone else. I'm sure all the coaches in the league are aware of which umps are more accurate. Ultimately we just want the umps to be consistent with their strike zone. I have always hated how they have a tendency to squeeze the zone on pitchers that are struggling to throw strikes to the point they pretty much have to throw it down the middle to get a strike call.
