How would you propose fixing the increasingly widened strike zone for the Tigers pitcher as the game moved into the late innings tonight?

The strikezone is defined in the rulebook as the width of the plate from the knees to the midpoint between the shoulders and the belt (the “letters,” as it were). I have long been a proponent of automated balls and strikes (this can easily be done in real-time). There is no reason why the strikezone should expand over the course of a game, why veterans should get bigger zones, or anything of the sort.
