The Rule Book clearly defines the strike zone and nowhere does it say that each umpire may design his own personal zone and enforce it arbitrarily.MLB has decided to punish Joe West Probably because he was the one who publically complained about the Swiss replica Rolex 116233-GYDJ Men's watch length of Yankees/Red Sox games and the endless stepping out/stepping off, etcetcetc you just can NOT put down the money franchises, even though you would be in trouble if you even THOUGHT of enforcing the batters box rule/the time to home plate rule, etcetcetc.
Yeah, I know it was ostensibly over some balk thingy, but I'm not fooled here.I know that before oh, maybe Eric Gregg and his infamous strike zone the size of his belly that except for guys who made big time national TV egregious mistakes (Don Denkinger and I remember his name and it's been, what, 25 years?) you didn't know one umpire from Swiss replica Rolex 116263 Men's watch another which is the way it should be.This HP ump's name Bill Hahn for some reason rang a bell, and so I looked it up and he's the guy who tossed Bobby Cox and Brian McCann, then hi-fived the Marlins' catcher after they had won the game.And MLB did absolutely NOTHING.
I know that all ML umps are under the MLB, not the League jurisdiction, but they had darn well better do something as this hysteria by the umps has gotten greater and greater by the year.I understand that MLB might could not want to openly Swiss replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust punish/fine umps for egregious misbehaviour (remember Mike Winter instigating a fight with Milton Bradley a couple years back? Winter got a slap on the wrist, Milton got a severe hit to his rep…)Anyway, I checked both Gameday as well as the replay and there were 3 strikes that were called balls (per gameday) and 3 more by my eyeballs.
