I honestly wonder to what extent catcher framing will be diminished if we don't move to full robo-umps but just the appeal system. I bet you a lot of 0-0 strikes that someone like Kirk steals will still remain, but anything like a questionable 3-1 or 2-strike frame jobs will be significantly diminished, and while I don't recall exactly if count is factored into framing value, those are obviously the most important types of pitches that influence catcher framing. Conversely, a catcher that slaps at the ball - exceedingly rare in the modern game - low in the zone or at the borders is still going to be losing strikes even in an appeal system.

Yeah. He basically went from an absolute butcher, doubtful if he'd stick at catcher, to one of the best defensive catchers in baseball post trade. He's regressed somewhat this year, but the Brewers won't be complaining that he's merely below average defensively now (if this is his true talent) when he's also the best hitting catcher in the sport, and a top 10 bat overall.

lol

For f***'s sake. Here we go again.
-
Welp, it's another nail biter right down the wire against the meat of the O's lineup.
-
Nice swing from KK who was looking clueless earlier in the game.
-
If this result stands, this might end up being a masterclass from John Schneider. Controversial calls all over the place but he's put it all on the line to get the win.
-
95 from Mayza, he might finally be back.
-
Must have been inconclusive, I would've said Santander was safe but it was hard to tell one way or another. Need to get this last out now.
-
He's safe, Vlad had no business picking that ball up.
-
Vlad should've let that go foul.
-
f*** off
-
He's f***ing done it again. Yimi Garcia is a damn monster.
-
These umps are f***ing horrendous. The entire crew has called an awful f***ing game.
-
Vlad clearly went around, but the umps are fully out to lunch this game.
-
Best I can do is the hardest single you've ever seen. - Vlad
-
Oh my god John Schneider let the man finish the inning. He looks unhittable.
-
Davis Schneider is a 5 tool player.
-
Pop's sinker was DANCING that outing. God damn the drop on that is insane at that velo.
-
I don't necessarily hate pulling Kikuchi if you think he's a terrible matchup a third time through against Mountcastle. I just don't know that Pop is the guy you replace him with if you wanna limit the damage. But then again, it's the 5th inning.
-
Good AB from DS as usual, just didn't quite get all of it.
-
That's a stupid rule if this is how it's enforced. Varsho shouldn't risk the ump changing his mind and getting thrown out like an idiot for him to be awarded the base.
-
What the f***, they called interference and won't let him move on?
-
Ugh Vlad, just let him get the easy stolen base
-
The Orioles using their top relief arm in a relatively low leverage spot in the 5th is an odd choice. Yeah there's something to be said to keeping the top of the lineup at bay, but then you're forced to throw out worse pitchers in potentially more important spots later on. Seems like it's trying to be too smart and actually making a dumn move as a result.
