Baseball Hypothetical:

If they had the strike zone box and challage call of today back in the 1990s, would the Atlanta Braves top 3, Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux have not been so great?

Don't get me wrong; they were great pitchers, but it seems to me they got questionable strike calls that other pitchers did not.

Discuss.

the braves had a great rotation in those years
