Do you hold the better pitchers to a tighter strike zone than the obviously weaker pitchers?
I ask, because I see it in my games ALL THE TIME. My top 2 pitchers (this is rec, but they are still pretty good!) are expected to throw strikes. If it's at the knees, they are called balls. If it's at the shoulder, they are called balls. If it skirts the inside of the plate, it's a ball. If it skirts the outside, it's a ball...
The other teams much weaker pitcher can throw one which is nose high to my batter, and it's a strike...
So, I'm just wondering...why do you do it?
