Had to come back to this thread after seeing that play pop up
I don’t see how he isn’t suspended

That's just horrible. Especially at the MLB level.
BTW those Brewers uni's are sweet!

Is he getting away with it because he isn’t white?
Why is he allowed to be so bad at his job?

Personally I think anything within 1 in should not be overturned. Any sort of replay / automation should be for bad calls, not razor close calls.
I agree, and downvotes will flow. Even the computers won’t be 100% right. If it’s close, fricking swing.
If it’s close, don’t expect the call 100% of the time as a pitcher.
If it’s egregious, absolutely over turn it.

The margin for error is 1/6th of an inch. If the compromise is the ball must be outside of the margin of error, I wouldn't be against that.

Now, we have to define what egregious means. Are we going to create the egregious zone now? Nah, we already have a strike zone, if the ball doesn't cross it, the pitcher needs to adjust.

The announcer sarcastically adding “I can’t wait for him to take the plate tomorrow” was great.

First, the strike zone sounds like it’s pre calculated by the pre season measurements of a player.
Players stances could easily vary by multiple inches through the season

Sucks for them. Standardize the zone for each player at the start of the season. That way the player has the same strike zone (inches above the plate) all season long and doesn’t have to change wha is and isn’t a strike for him.

I do wish they could make it three dimensional where it’s over all five points of the plate.
With the way it is, a ball could break in or out of zone and be called wrong.
This is my only complaint about it. There are a lot of breaking pitches being overturned for being 0.1-0.3" out of the zone when there is a very good chance that ball would have been within the strike zone of a 3D model vs the 2d they use. Some of the overturns have been justified and certainly glad to see them corrected, but I'd say at least half of the ones I've seen overturned have been breaking balls that would have been confirmed via a 3D model.

I wasn't aware of that. In this case, I'd rather the tech not be implemented at all until they can account for breaking pitches effectively. That's such a huge part of the game.

I think there has to be a margin of error accounted for that would disallow a pitch to be overturned. The strike zone in the rulebook is based on real world 3D, having a system measuring within 0.1" that is only 2D to overturn calls that should stand is to appease the 'I kNoW bASeBalL bECauSe I PlAyeD' crowd that has never looked or had to study NFHS, OBR, or NCAA rules yet love to talk like they know the game like the back of their hand.

Ump kinda did it to themselves when they were unable to notice framing or did not care.
