the difference between baseball and the other sports is baseball umpiring is consistent, in-game. sure from game to game the strike zone will fluctuate, but it affects each team equally.
the other sports, a particular transgression gets called one minute and not the next, and so on throughout the whole game
in football receivers and d-backs jostling each other for several plays, then a foul gets called for something no different than has happened several times already. same thing in basketball, hockey, soccer
