As you bend over and look for the catcher's signal, should you have to wonder what the umpire's opinion of what the strike zone should be? If you watch much major league baseball, you will see that this is in fact what goes on. One guy calls more low strikes, one guy calls more high strikes, another seems to have added an extra six inches to the outside of the plate, it's a truly nauseating display of personal opinion being inserted in place of the rules.
