I hope they soon install the electronic strike zone readers. It's frustrating and very angry-making for the players when they can see the ball is outside, but is called a strike!
Each TV network has their own "strike zone". Check out how tiny this one is at (4:25) where the top of the "zone" is below the batter's belt. Others as well. I admit some of these are blatant, others close enough to go either way. Best thing is to ignore the network "strike zone".
....you can't be exactly sure given the angle you're seeing it from and just because the catcher shags it out of the zone, by the way all of those catchers were doing excellent jobs of framing those pitches, doesn't show where it actually crossed the plate. Hell yes it's frustrating to see your guy get called out on what appears to be out of the zone. BUT YOU/ME/WE get the luxury of watching it in slow motion/replayed over and over again. That Ump gets to make a snap second call and usually they're dead on the money.........
A lot of those were close. Even a couple caught the edge.

Robot strike zones will increase offense, which is something something MLB is always interested in. I think the fans will come to like it.

Parallax from the CF view has you confused.
With two strikes on the hitter the plate enlarges 20% Umpires must keep track of their punchouts.

Maybe some of those pitches were borderline, but too close to take with 2 strikes.
Abunch of those looked too close to take, and other were just framed correctly. Regardless you gotta protect the plate in those situatons🤷🏽♂️
Why baseball will ALWAY take a backseat to all other professional sports until they rectify the issue.
And they have the nerve to call themselves empires in the majors
