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????
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.
