Posted by admin On January - 29 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Why alter the strike zone? Sure, the rule book says the strike zone should span the width from the plate and a height from a player’s knees and underarms. Most fans know the definition. Additionally they know the strike zone is continuing to grow shorter and wider than the book says, but this change hasn’t caused much complaint. Well, until this year.

Then the powers that be decided to part of and enforce the textbook definition. They decided to continue to ignore other rules, but this strike zone rule, it bugs them. You realize the rule that says a player should be standing on a bag when he catches the ball to obtain a force out? Well, that certain apparently doesn’t apply to double plays. The 2nd baseman usually gets to stand around three feet from the bag for that force – so long as he was on the bag prior to the runner scared him off. The rule saying a player must be tagged out using the ball when the play isn’t a force out? Well, in the bigs, when the ball gets there before the runner, but the fielder is a little late about the tag, that’s okay. The runner is out, because good throws are difficult to find. If you do not believe me, look into the replays.
