So basically Angel missed one pitch in 6. Brutal.
That's little league dad level umpiring. And I say that having been a LL dad umpire for 3 seasons.

I don't disagree, but then why not just go full on auto/robostrike zone at that point? No worry about wasting challenges, showing up umpires by challenging, etc.Deluxe said:
Tennis can review in/out calls in less than 5 seconds. MLB could implement something similar if it had the desire.
Batter/pitcher says challenge. Umpire gives a signal the video crew. Pitch location/strike zone pops up on the big screen. Call stands or is reversed. Move along.
I think either solution is better than the current solutionhtxag09 said:I don't disagree, but then why not just go full on auto/robostrike zone at that point? No worry about wasting challenges, showing up umpires by challenging, etc.Deluxe said:

Because he's been injured and inconsistent. If he weren't an Aggie he wouldn't even be on our radar.12law said:Mathguy64 said:
Tyler is on 1yr/$1.5MM this year. We could have done that. It's really early and it's a very small sample size so the jury is out to see if Click made a mistake.
Why didn't we sign him?
You mean the .702 OPS and 84 OPS+ over the last 4 years didn't scream pay me, James?Harry Dunne said:Because he's been injured and inconsistent. If he weren't an Aggie he wouldn't even be on our radar.12law said:Mathguy64 said:

Its almost as if baseball likes to keep him around for the controversy. Like they don't mind it being an element of the game.redline248 said:
I looked at that twitter account. The next lowest accuracy by an umpire yesterday was 90%. Why does this guy still have a job?

The Fox regional networks are owned by Sinclair broadcasting who also owns a bunch on local TV stations around the country. They sold the "naming rights" to the Vegas casino Bally. Bally doesn't actually own the regional networks.979ag said:
All of Fox Sports. Read that Disney was forced to sell all of the Regional Fox Sports rights as part of the acquisition of 21st Century Fox

I'm definitely not rooting against George at all, but it would not hurt my feelings if his best years were the ones he spent in Houston.
I would rather him not be an MVP type of player for a team that we might potentially play in the postseason at some point
One possibility: it could also be a case where he had issues like this in Houston but didn't report them to the team and played through them because he didn't want an injury history to hurt his value when it came time to go into free agency. Now, he has his big guaranteed deal, and things like this might be more likely to get reported to the team because there's less risk in damaging future value.bearkatag15 said:
Are soft tissue muscle strains really that detectable? I'm not sure either way so I'm genuinely curious. I figured these are associated with him being an older player now
Because his last name is Hernandez.redline248 said:

What a great idea! When Gerrit Cole got in that groove two years ago he made me keep thinking of Mike Scott during that year.Quote:Quote:
I know some of you guys are old (or older) like me and have a lot of fond memories from the '86 team, so I look forward to recalling them with you. If what I'm doing seems really dumb, feel free to ignore.
