Okay, it's kind of ridiculous to say that the strike zone there accurately reflects reality

This is a case where the umpire know where the batter is standing and other things. The fact that all of the “missed” calls were in the same place, means he was clearly opperating out of a tangible zone.

Derosa.

At least he's consistent...

Decrease runs scored?
Maybe.

Decrease winning? Never seen that proven.

Here is the 4 pitches that Manny struck out on and then got thrown out of game

Manny for sure had a wide zone to defend.
