Thing about Schwarber is as a catcher by trade he knows the zone better than most. He's watched Angel's crap for years and finally had it. How MLB keeps running Angel out there year after year is beyond comprehension. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In August of 2001 Hernandez made a horrible call at the plate just before the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley. Steve McMichael, Bears DL, took to the PA system to criticize the call. He was to "sing" during the 7th inning stretch. Hernandez tossed him, and Wrigley security game up and took him away. He never sang a word! True story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shifting rule will be implemented next year...roboump won't be long I don't think...then ball/strike arguments will look like this...

5fouls Posted April 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 I'm more of a fan of firing incompetent umpires like Hernandez than I am of robo-ump. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think KS earned some more buddies last night. Even the Brewers post game were saying someone was going to lose it eventually but they said when he's behind the plate you just have to know it's wide zone and never consistent.

You can't have a wide zone by 6.5 inches lol My favorite part about the whole thing with KS is... he waited until he knew he was done with the game, so it didn't cost his team at all to get ejected. KS is a dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would the robo ump work and what angle will it come from. Listened to JMV with Heath Bell a former pitcher and he noticed on TV the strike zone is different bon different broadcast.

IUFLA Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 First 5 things I'd do if I was Baseball God... 1. Abolish the DH in both leagues 2. Allow the use of white ash bats only 3. Give a 1 million dollar bonus to the leader in triples in each league at the end of the year 4. Give a 1 million dollar bonus to the leader in stolen bases in each league at the end of the year 5. Institute a RoboUmp and call it S.C.O.T.T (Strike Calling On Target Technology) 😁 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my money, those are the two most exciting offensive plays there are. Defensively, throwing a runner out at home tops the excitement list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following in the Rickey's footsteps. Call it the Cardinals triple. Coleman walks....steals second and either is moved over to third by bunt or hitting to right side of infield and Herr would Sac fly him in. Or Coleman would walk...steal 2nd and 3rd and score on ground out or sac fly. Either way it was always 1-0 after the top of the first when playing Cubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have taken away some of the best things about baseball and have no idea why. There is very little action in the game and mainly have walks, K's or HR.
