    The main reason I despise it.

    I love the game but at times it makes it tough to watch for that reason

On other hand it be nice to cap a game knowing neither pitcher will be unfairly squeezed or worrying about these inconsistent fukk ups.
    So True....and the importance of the count in baseball is everything. The odds of a hit with a 2-1 count vs a 1-2 count changes immensely. You can't keep letting us watch strikes get called balls on and vice versa on tv while the ump keeps getting it wrong

    I can tell you what nfl would do, they would demand that tv stations take away the strike zone box, lol.
