is that in favor of one team over the other? I suspect not. Although one of you math geeks, who spends time writing on windows, will likely have stats on this.
If this rate is applied roughly equally, I don't think I have a problem with the human element of umpiring on Balls and Strikes.
All kidding aside, I'd love to see someone break this down by team and superstars. We all know Front Line Pitchers have a different Strike Zone. I would guess Hitters have an equivalent.
