Everyone is complaining about blue calling strikes in the far batters box in this game.
Looked like the zone that grown men called against twelve year old girls all summer. That is a strike all day long in the tournaments I was at. Making the zone so wide has been detrimental to the game of softball, I have no idea how these umps think a kid can hit a pitch that far off the plate when 6' tall trained hitters getting paid millions don't think they should be swinging at it with two strikes.
Somebody told me that fp umps are being told that if the outside edge of the ball touches the box it's still a strike? Bit too much margin for failure there.
