Which do you like more, TBS having their zone up all the time, or Fox who only has it up during a questionable call?
On one count it creates more questions whether the call was correct and the other side it leaves you wondering.

In my observations, all NLDS, ALDS, ALCS & NLCS strikezones are smaller than a nats @ss.
And that is a very small strike zone
Bear, I'm sure that both the Giants and Phillies would agree with you. Especially Jonathan Sanchez!
I like neither. It doesn't matter what Fox or TBS say a strike is, the only opinion that matters is the home plate umpire's. The little box takes away from watching the game and causes unnecessary discussion, IMO

I take the opposite approach. Any opportunity to question authority sits well with me, LOL! 
I love to discuss where that pitch was and what was the umpire, or the hitter looking at!?
89MPH FB's right down the middle of the plate and the hitter is taking all the way...
Or the pitch that the umpire misses.
In reality all discussion regarding a game is UNNECESSARY by definition. None of this matters at all in the greater scheme of things...Blasphemy I Know!
It is no different than discussing an error made by a fielder and watching the replay.
This is what I enjoy about the game, watching it and discussing what I see. The K-Zone only helps me see better, creating more opportunity for discussion, and disgust, as well as laughter.

I don't even get concerned about it---the only zone that matters is the umpires "floating" strike zone
I loved it when Oswalt (batter) and Sanchez both start walking to the dugout but the umpire called it a ball last night!
CC looked like he was struggling throwing strikes the other night even though the TBS strike zone was indicating they were strikes!

That was classic.
Sanchez was all over the place last night with his fastball though (also lead the league in walks), so he was due to have a call not go his way.
