Hunter Wendelstedt's Yanks/Twins Strike(kinda) Zone



From Brooks Baseball via Deadspin. For those not colorblind, red were called strikes and green called ball. Different interpretations find between 28 to 31 clear missed calls, including a green box smack dab in the middle of the strike zone, corresponding to a cutter down the middle to Derek Jeter that was called a ball. Also that strike 3 called a ball to Lance Berkman on the inside corner just before launching a home run. I'm going to enjoy baseball with no umpires on the field one day.

HUMAN ELEMENT IS A NATURAL PART OF THE GAME THAT WE ALL HAVE TO LIVE WITH! WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE ANYTHING RIGHT BECAUSE WE NEED TO HAVE A FALLIBLE HUMAN ELEMENT!
