What's a Strike Zone?

Can somebody explain it to me? Because I feel like I know what a strike zone is. And the technology has gotten to the point where we can paint a very good picture to what it is. Yet, umpires keep messing up. If it's borderline, you understand. But when it's an inch away from the plate or just below the knees and those calls go wrong, you have to wonder.

This blog is due to the response of some of the incidents with the New York Yankees. It's clear when there is obvious missed calls. A problem that has been the case for the last couple of months. Obvious balls being called strikes. What I see is more of a league issue than it is a team issue. One missed call can make a difference between getting out of an inning or giving up a couple runs or so. The MLB office doesn't do anything about these problems. And these incidents with the Yankees don't involve the usual suspects. It's young up and comers. I get there's pressure on them, and they can fix what they messed up on, but this is where I put my complaints on.

Umpires that screw up in big moments will be remembered for the wrong reasons. Don Denkinger has lived through 34 years of his infamous call in the 1985 World Series. There's plenty more. And that's something no one thinks about until an incident happens to them. Yes, there's human error, but that excuse can't be used forever. MLB needs to make punishments on bad calls. They can't keep allowing this kind of stuff. The technology is very obvious. It's time for umps to learn before they find themselves in the spotlight for the wrong reasons.
