    https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7163482/2026/04/01/mlb-umpires-abs-system/ What is a strike? The answer to that question has traditionally been easy for MLB umpires: A strike is whatever I say it is. However, amid the introduction of the automated ball-strike challenge system, highly experienced former MLB umps are critical of baseball’s newest technology. Citing their own observations and conversations with those currently still in the job, the consistent criticism has been simple: What’s a ball and what’s a strike has changed, and they don’t know how, exactly, to call it. “The strike zone has never been an exact science,” said longtime former umpire Gary Darling. “They’re flipping pitches that are missing by a tenth of an inch, in a system that’s not exact anyway. … As much as baseball wants to define the strike zone, it’s still not defined.

    You know Keith won't want to miss the SF trip, hope he's better

    Robert has looked good so far , hopefully he keeps it up and can stay healthy, the booth during the game last night talked about how the Mets have Robert's on a special conditioning program to address health

    Is this satire?

    Young up there hacking at air

    OMFG ,the game is on and I'm watching the pre-game, this app and SNY integration is awful
  13. metirish
    I'm watching the pre-game on SNY which I rarely do , but it's on the TV app and I don't want to go out and come back into the app, Zeile talks a mile a minute
  14. metirish
    I'm watching SNY through the MLB app, it's mostly ads for Carton on the WFAN , super annoying and often back to back

    I am really hoping Semien gets going on offense, Robert Jr looks decent,so far I'm happy enough
  16. metirish
    More information
  17. metirish
    Surely the strike zone is baseball is subjective though
  18. metirish
    Really curious to see Senga

    The MFY overturned five in the first four innings last night, I get it is good to get calls right but to me individual umps are part of the fabric of baseball
  20. metirish
    I hear you, I'm also thinking of how VAR has been implemented in soccer and I don't care for it either
  21. metirish
    To me it takes some of the human element out of the game , some umpires are known for calling the low strike , some high, Glavine could never expand the zone these days. I just don't care for it
  22. metirish
    Yes same , it was fine over the weekend series, but I noticed it right away tonight when Gary and Keith opened the show and the mouth and words were a hair off
  23. metirish
    This game needs some life
  24. metirish

  25. metirish
