    Episode 88 - The Strike Zone?
    Apr 15 2026
    The problem is a tale as old as time. Everyone knows where the strike zone is (or thinks they do, anyway), but it sure seems like everyone calls it differently.

    Is that because they see it differently? Is it because they've been *TOLD* to call it differently? Is it because they are waging a private rebellion against the written rules? And if all of that is true, why do people post one thing online but are likely to tell you differently in private? We share our thoughts on this topic likely to get us cancelled.

    Boy, this one is a doozy. We had this one in the can for a while, but it turns out that we made some mistakes during recording. However, we tracked down where we went wrong and issued corrections in-place in the audio so that we could still cover this topic.

    Episode 86 - An Interview With Robert Bannon

    No, this isn't an April Fools' Day prank, we got the man himself on the podcast! If you don't know Bob, he's an umpire who works NCAA, High School, and USSSA. He's also the creator and an admin over at the Ask the Softball Umpires group on Facebook with almost 30,000 members!

    In this interview, we talk about Bob's origin story, what makes a good (and bad) umpire, and pick his brain about some things that were on our mind.
