These aren't huge operations generating much money, so it's not fair to expect too much. If baseball umpires have different strike zones with their amount of training and scrutiny, then certainly the people used by these websites could have quite different interpretations, not to mention make mistakes.

It's always questionable when you get the information for free but it's probably pretty close.
Still think advanced stats have a big part in telling the picture but not the entire picture.
Appreciate the work people like SuperMatt and Bingo do putting together and finding the information
