Will the playoff/Series umps be evaluated via QuesTec? Because the ball and strike calls have frequently been ABOMINABLE. Jeff Kellogg during the Mets-Cards series was particularly a joke.

"Abominable" from whose point of view, a person sitting in his living room watching a broadcast through a camera that is about 20' or so off-center? I did find it amazing that FOX had that little rectangle trying to show whether pitches were balls or strikes. The one thing they never explained, and that box failed to take into account, was the fact that the ball was shown only where it "stopped," and oftentimes the ball would be outside the confines of the box; however, all the ball has to do is pass through the strike zone. As a result, that whole FOX box was ridiculous.

That issue aside, we don't take it seriously when fans scream about the strike zone, something about which, with all due respect, they know very little. MLB evaluates all post-season umpires. If you have a complaint, you can always write to their offices in New York and voice your concerns.

From the POV of a fan who knows very well that the camera is about 20' or so off-center, and still saw pitches that weren't close to the zone called strikes, or pitches that were strikes one inning called balls later on...
