During last night’s Wild Card game live blog, there were a few readers (presumably Yankee fans) who were very upset with the strike zone being called by home plate umpire Eric Cooper.

Comment From Hank
Cooper is a joke – that one was 4-6? off the plate!
Comment From Cb
Why is Sipp getting the benefit of the doubt on all these 3-ball count pitches on the edge?
Comment From Will
I don’t think it’s been atrociously bad, but saying “it’s fair because both teams knew about it” ignores the fact that walk-heavy teams will be more burned by a pitcher-friendly zone than a free-swinging team like the Astros.
