No no no lol.  I looked it up.  And I knew that you were gonna send that exact response lol.  When you look it up, he question hen becomes, why don’t umpires follow that rule of thumb. But I waiting on the answer to,  “If I squat and swing while in that position...is my Strikezone smaller???”

If you looked it up, why are you still having this idea that the knees and sternum define the zone? Quote the rule here of the rules you're using. We can help walk you through that and the stance issue.

Yes.  But there are many laws in our constitution that are not 100% properly followed for obvious reasons.  So why arnt strikes called by the shoulders?  So that def. is irrelevant...but back to the stance.  I believe that’s incorrect.  When someone proves you wrong...you can’t just brush it off and say...pshhhh.  “That’s an extreme example”.  Cuz it’s not.  Seems pretty common sense to me.   Because if I would of knew that. I would of bent my knees more , (essentially dropping my Sternum closer to my knees) for a smaller Strikezone?????    I would of did almost anything for a smaller Strikezone...even if it’s just a little more bent.  Why doesnt everyone stress that then? If hats the case.  When’s the last time you heard a coach state “make sure you bend your knees little (more) rather than not because your Strikezone gets smaller”. Like are you Joking????

Just think about your previous comments and now substitute in the actual definition of strike zone. Or let's pretend your definition is correct--knees to sternum. If my natural stance is a squat, has your definition of the strike zone changed? It's no longer knees to sternum? It's something else?  ;-)

I made a simple request so that way your question would get answered, and this is the response. 

Back to the actual blunt Matt. I'm pretty sure you're just looking to argue. You don't know what the strike zone is. I think you're lying when you say you looked up the rule (given you keep bringing up knees and sternum and did not quote the definition when asked.) You cannot possibly be calling an accurate zone when you don't know what it is, either defined or functionally. You are in no position to be trying out new positions for the plate or claiming umpires blow a particular call all the time when you don't have any clue what you're doing in the first place.

Yeah, harsh. I tried to walk through this with you and you can't even listen or bring something to the table when asked. I don't have time for this, and I will not have you clog up this board with posts that do not advance conversation. If you are indeed wanting to learn, understand what you are doing at this point.

No.  What are you saying... ?  Your Strikezone is Knees to sturnum.  Standing straight up or a bit knees slightly bent stance is the zone. THe reason your wrong is because If I squat really really tiny, to the point where my Strikezone is extremely small...how is that fair and make sense. It’s common sense my friend.

Does anyone else want to weight in?? lol

And now your just throwing allegations out?   I did look it up. Are you saying it’s the shoulders that are the highest point? Because thats what it says? I’ve been a catcher for 15 years. Knowing what the zone is the least of my worries. And for you to say that is just wrong.  Literally incorrect.  Anyways. Yeah, I’m done arguing with you...I think everything has been said that needs to be said.  I’ll be sure to let everyone know to crouch more to make there Strike-zone a bit smaller lolllll.  

Btw. You shouldn’t threaten people after an argument or debate or hell...A conversation.  People are more than likely frustrated & wrong when they have to do that. 

Anyone else feel free to weight in

Have a good one... Mr. Blunt Matt.

Last attempt at reason....

So what is the definition of strike zone if I squat? Has it changed? Don't you think if I'm a "short" person my zone may be different than Aaron Judge's? Or is that not fair?

No no no.   Your natural height (knees and sturnum declares your Strikezone.  And obviously that’s different then Arron Judge. So a smaller body with smaller gap between the knees and sturnum will receive a smaller Strikezone. Hats just natural.  What he’s saying is that if Arron judge tried to tighten the gap by bending his knees. Making his chest/sturnum closer to his knees....that that would make a smaller Strikezone O.o

which I find incorrect.
