What is up with that TBS Strike Zone?

I can't believe they haven't gotten rid of that stupid box they are trying to use to show the strike zone. That thing is wrong 50% of the time, it makes fans irate and umpires look terrible. A pitch a foot outside shows up like it is just off the strike zone, it is a joke

It's a horrible fad that unfortunately seems to becoming part of the game.

All channels show it, and they all have different strike zones.

Not to mention, the strike zone isn't a rectangle, it's 3-d.

At least FSN uses theirs sparingly, having it up for every fucking pitch is annoying.

ESPN puts the fucking thing right over the plate, I can't stand it.

I have the opinion that they/tbs/fox/espn/ can 'adjust' those strike zones to their liking depending on who is pitching or batting, which team, their team, I know, that sounds like a conspiracy to me,

I see it with redsox games and they will show it when their pitche or batter doesn't get a close pitch, some teams whine more than others,

I think the mlb game day box is the closest to being correct more times than not.

It was funny that they kept that graphic up during the intentional walk.
