Is robo ump in the plans for baseball anytime soon? What would be the rule be if a pitch hits the line? If 50% or greater of the ball hits the line its a strike?

They're going to do the 2 challenge thing like they were did in the ASG. Not good enough.

The tech is good enough to do it seamlessly without challenges. Pitchers take around 5-8 seconds before they're back on the bump getting the call. They can get every call right without extending the game at all.

Its only fair to use it. People cry about losing the human element of the game but get with the times man.

George Webbs paid someone off

I worry what this means for the future of this team if they can't handle the pressure of free burgers

I missed most of the game last night so I can't comment on that AB. But I will say that yes, it looks like some bad calls were made. Yes, it feels like ABS can solve this issue. Yes, it matters in such a big moment of a game.

Also, Collins knows we don't use ABS today, and these are relatively close calls (with the 6th, deciding strike, being as close as it gets). Get the bat off your shoulder and swing.

Was watching the game and yes, rule of thumb in baseball is that you better not be crying about strikes if you're taking pitches like that only slightly outside the zone in those situations. But on the other hand, ump was calling that same crap (particularly pitches 1 and 3) balls in the previous two innings before the 9th. As usual, the lack of consistency is the annoying part with these guys.

That's fair. You have to swing at #6 either way. There's no excusing that one. Just took a bad strike - which happens, too.

For Twirly and all limerick lubbers
A note on the games that are rubbers
Forget all the theories
Just win the damn series
And distance yourself from the Cubbers

I've seen enough of Seigler

That graphic is different than what I saw on TV. Pitch #6 didn't clip the zone, but was a half inch off of it.

Eh, Seigler would have had two infield hits last night if not for two outstanding defensive plays by Seattle. I'd give him a few more opportunities still.

Curious, what is tldr scouting report? Trying figure out what he brings to the table based on the little that I have seen. Defensive savant, contact hitter, high OBP guy? I just don’t see much, but I know I don’t see many games these days. What’s his upside (general question, not directing this to you necessarily)

Seigler has had 19 sporadic PAs. I'm nowhere near ready to give up on him

For sure, but was he a highly rated prospect or what is his calling card?

He was a 1st round pick of the Yankees, who eventually let him go and we picked him up on a minor league deal and then he was awesome in AAA this year.

I don't pay much attention to baseball scouting, but yeah, this is at least what you hope for. Will never hit for power but his OBP being north of .400 in Nashville is the thing you cling to as a positive sign of his plate vision/patience developing. That combined with his defense and speed on the bases makes him a valuable utility guy in theory. Two great defensive plays are the difference between him hitting .167 and .250 right now.

Why is Murphy continuing to roll out a .240 hitter w/ no power in the #2 spot in the lineup?
