In the Bleachers by Ben Zaehringer for June 08, 2013

Easy Out Grabowski at the plate.

and he still strikes out

Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground.

I don’t get it!!!Can someone PLEASE explain this one for me?

Looks like a bigger strike zone to me…

Now THAT’S what I call a small strike zone!

….bet there’s a 12 pack lurking under there…. …and how does he expect to “walk” to first???

Bases loaded, 2 outs, bottom of the ninth. At least, if a walk will bring in the winning run, the score is tied now, so they’ll get another chance.

And, he strikes out looking at 3 pitches. Going into the 10th.

Those are the old 1970s Cleveland Indians uniforms

Which prompted Boog Powell to say he looked like a giant blood clot :-)

Isn´t the strike zone from the knees to the “letters”? That is a big strike zone.

so does anyone actually get the joke? I don’t. Can anyone please explain it….?

I go the “baseball” part of it (strike zone is knees to the letters), so today’s strip makes NO SENSE. I usually love In The Bleachers,but today’s is just not funny.

By rule, the strike zone is from just below the batter’s armpits to just above his knees as he assumes a normal stance at the plate. That umpires tend not to call the so-called “high strike” is a reflection upon the umpires, not a change in the rules. This batter can watch three pitches go by and strike out, if the umps do their jobs. And yes, I used to be one.
