a few looked like strikes, but if you have the sny broadcast they made a good point that when the catcher sets up inside, the ump sets up inside above him - and when the pitch goes 2 feet to the right of where the catcher sets up the ump will never call a strike because of his perspective and the context, even if it is right on the corner.

I heard them say that. The problem is a)that's BS, and b) that specific pitch was right down the middle, as shown on replay.

i mean it absolutely was not right down the middle. and i dont think it's an excuse because i think they should use a 'perfect' computerized strike zone, but what they said definitely made sense for that specific pitch.
