June 22, 20232 yr Herring for LSU was a Southlake kid....I've seen this show before. If he's on, he's very tough with that slider. Edited June 22, 20232 yr by Surly Bevo

June 22, 20232 yr Wake Forest hitters are dumbasses 2-0 count, bases empty and 1 out Down 3 runs in 8th Pops up a terrible pitch for out #2

He's calling high pitches strikes that are not hittable... the best result for the batter is if he swings and fouls the ball off. That's why MLB umpires have a lower strike zone... give hitters a chance to hit.

Went down a rabbit hole, and read that there are proposals in MLB to raise the bottom of the strike zone above the knees. Wonder how long till robotic umpires are used to call balls and strikes in MLB??
June 22, 20232 yr Another Wake Forest hitter called out on a high pitch that is not a strike. Frustrating...
June 22, 20232 yr Yeah, I haven't noticed him favoring one team or the other. Went down a rabbit hole, and read that there are proposals in MLB to raise the bottom of the strike zone above the knees. Wonder how long till robotic umpires are used to call balls and strikes in MLB??What was the rationale? Obviously offense related.
June 22, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, Had Enough said: What was the rationale? Obviously offense related. Yeah, was trying to help hitters... get more offense in MLB baseball. It hurts sinkerball pitchers. 2017 article https://www.mlb.com/news/how-raising-strike-zone-could-affect-pitchers-c215332170 Looks like it's been discussed several times, but not sure if players union will allow strike zone to be raised to top of the knees Edited June 22, 20232 yr by LTtxfan

June 22, 20232 yr Under the regulations, no college baseball pitcher can exceed 110 pitches per game. If the threshold is passed, then that pitcher will not be able to throw for at least three more days. To further deter injury, there are certain rest thresholds. If a pitcher throws fewer than 25 pitches, there shall be no mandatory days of rest. However, for pitchers throwing between 25 and 51 pitches, one day of rest is compulsory. From 51 to 76 pitches, two days will be needed and three days for pitch counts between 76 and the maximum limit of 110. Here’s to both starters throwing over 76 pitches!

The AAA team didn't want to play at TD Ameritrade (now Charles Schwab) because it was too big from both a field dimensions standpoint and stadium capacity standpoint. Werner Dimensions: 310/402/315 Charles Schwab: 335/408/335 Schwab plays even bigger than that due to the prevailing winds that blow in from outfield almost all the time.

June 22, 20232 yr Serious question from a casual Baseball fan, What happened to the box they used to superimpose on the screen? I always liked that, at least on the replay.

Didn't it actually disappear in the middle of one of the NCAA tournaments? Like the strikezone was so bad one game, a decision was passed down overnight to remove it from broadcasts for the rest of the tournament?

June 23, 20232 yr "Good thing he retired Crews or it would be 1-0 right now." That is and continues to be the stupidest assessment in sports, across all sports.

June 23, 20232 yr One of these teams needs to a least try to bunt their way on. Neither one of them do it much, but I’d at least try to force the issue
