People try to finesse the "system" we have NOW. Of course players will try to finesse it. That's the nature of sports. That's why we have rules. Actually, I don't have as much of a problem with one umpire having a different strike zone from another umpire. As long as he is consistent. But to vary based on who is batting or who is pitching is unacceptable. Maybe MLB could use the system Dan is describing to get the umpires to be more consistent if it can't actually be used in a game. - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
