The Braves traded Terry May to the Pirates for saying:
TM> like they're afraid to criticize these umpires, and even when their new
TM> high-tech simulation right in front of their eyes shows a called strike
The non-baseball playing announcers don't want to look foolish by saying
"Hey, guys, I don't care if you played 90 years in the majors because I feel
that if you write the rules to read one way, you should follow the rules.
Maybe you think that it's ok because both teams are getting the same strike
zone but if the strike zone is a pitcher's, it means that you've taken the
bat out of the hitter's hands and made a difficult job even harder."
