Strike right down the middle but catcher is setup outside and has to move in to catch it.

Ball.

Cant wait until computers call balls and strikes.

Why setup outside for one down the pipe?

Help the ump help you.

I say this as an Astros fan.

frick robo umps.

Catchers know what they do matters for calls.

And most importantly, as my long dead granddad told me when aggy would be down due to longhorn refs:

Champions overcome.

Because the pitcher missed his spot.

But that doesnt matter. It was a strike.

So by your logic if the catchers setups 3' outside and the pitcher hits the target, it should be a strike.

If MLB wants to attract a new generation of fans, they better embrace technology instead of listening to all the simple minds suffering from "the good old days" syndrome.

Flinching with the wrong foot is called for a balk but Osuna can pump fake is leg kick 3 times and not be considered a balk. Can't wait for that dumb shite to be fixed.

That umpire got paid 120gs this year to call a worse game than what the average American could call.

Wrong. Squat back there and try to be accurate in your calls. Its very, very difficult....which is why we should let the computer call ball & strikes.

Chirinos is sooo busy behind the plate that’s he’s a distraction to the umpires. He moves around trying to get in the hitters head. His excessive movement is the reason they don’t get obvious strikes called properly.

That pitching staff is nasty. Not sure why he feels the need for all the antics behind the plate.
