Well, regardless of how good or how bad a call is, at least 50% of the crowd is going to disagree with a call and go away complaining about the ump!

I agree with bbdad1954. When we played NN, at NN, the ump was very inconsistent and had a "little league" strike zone. It's pretty bad when a player is called out because he took a pitch that is clearly off the plate. However when we played GBN last Tuesday a pro pitcher would have had trouble throwing a strike the umps zone was so tight. The home plate ump reversed two calls, one at second and one at first.
All we ask is consistency, particularly with the strike zone. What happened to the stike zone from the knees to the armpits?
