Umpires and Players Rally Against Strike Zone Machine
Umpires and pitchers unite against QuesTec, the strike zone tracking system, arguing it skews calls and varies by ballpark. The tool, installed in ten parks with plans for nationwide rollout, has triggered protests, camera breakage, and debate over a standard strike zone. MLB executives defend it as a leveler, insisting minor park differences will not unfairly penalize anyone.

Expos heat up Selig in bid for payroll relief
Montreal begins a 22 game in 25 day stretch on a nomadic tour from Montreal to Florida, Philadelphia, Puerto Rico, Seattle, Oakland, Pittsburgh, and back to Montreal on June 20. If they stay competitive in NL East and wild card, GM Minaya may seek Selig relief to add a pitcher or hitter as owners weigh a further $5 million boost to the Expos budget amid revenue sharing.
