    The thing with check swings is that broadcasts have fooled everyone into thinking that breaking the plane of home plate = a swing. That's not the rule. It's just a discretionary call by the ump on whether the player attempted to hit the ball (or some wording like that) The way they are going to measure it with laser robots will be more liberal than the plane of home plate. It's something more like a 45 degree angle from the centre of the player's body. So many of these check swings we see on video will not be called swings.

    Literally use WPA

    It's funny now all of a sudden fans are mad at their own team and not the umps all the time HOW DID YOU MISS THAT CALL becomes WHY DIDN'T YOU BLEEPING CHALLENGE THAT, NICK KURTZ!!!???

    The challenge system is super interesting Common sense says teams should be more willing to challenge later in games or in leverage situations. You don't want to blow your two chances early and then not have a challenge in a leverage spot. Teams will probably red light and green light certain players Obvious missed calls may not be noticed by every player - some have better eyes than others! I can't wait to see someone like Jazz blow two challenges in one PA early in a game, and end up in a headline

    Well these are all pretty dumb stats anyway. Wins, holds, saves, blown saves...

    Vlad

    Who was the other one? I wonder if he got the W
  8. Laika
    Is it the only one in MLB history? Who can search this
  9. Laika
    Can we just appreciate the beauty of a four strikeout blown save win?
  10. Laika
    Yeah I was thinking, personally, that the hanging slider actually set up the good slider better than any other pitch could have. Kirk should have gone right back to it
  11. Laika
    Common Jeff Hoffman W.
  12. Laika
    Well, don't. If they win he won't care
  13. Laika
    Something to do with predictability maybe? Like it was a decent pitch but everyone was expecting a high fastball so if you think he's going up there then it's not a good pitch in that count
  14. Laika
    Yeah
  15. Laika
    It was 98 up and away. I dunno bros. Just a great swing.
  16. Laika
    lol.
  17. Laika
    They don't want to blow their challenges early or in non leverage situations but yeah Wilson should have on that one so I guess he didn't get a good look at it mostly
  18. Laika
    Blah
  19. Laika
    Lol
  20. Laika
    Just stick to the plan.
  21. Laika
    Exactly that was painful
  22. Laika
    Gimme "The Bench"
  23. Laika
    Nah it could be the opposite. "we like Kasevich if we need a long-term solution, and we will try to add some other MiLB deal shitbag to cover an emergency, short term bench role"
  24. Laika
    lmao that's catastrophic, last night's game was a snooze fest
  25. Laika
    Someone explain to me why Bob Manfred thinks these single games are a good idea for opening day? 98% of fans with blue balls don't care that much about watching the Yankees or Dodgers plan some random team pulled out of a hat. Every team in baseball should play on the league's opening day. You can do a single isolated game at 1 PM ET if you want, and then everyone else later. This would be more in the spirit of baseball. And then some of these weird early off days. Several teams don't even play today. The Yankees and Giants are off today and then off again on Sunday. lmao, why?
