What would the strategy be, start a discussion? I'm not sure I understand your angle. Could you explain? I will throw in that there are some pretty big egos on that board, and that MLB broke the previous umpire union like a twig. If a digital strike zone was implemented correctly, no umpire jobs would be lost, umpires would in fact do their jobs better, and nothing would look different on the field to the fan. I'm not sure what the downside is to calling balls and strikes better. edit p.s. I also like the idea of a uniform fixed strike zone proposed by the other poster, though clearly it has some issues to work out, if it can be worked out at all
