The batter certainly didn't help himself by starting the walk to first
I'll take it a little further, he is a LHB, and he started moving towards the dugout, away from 1B nearly immediately and before the ump even called it, then the ump calls it and he hops and emotes as if a bad call.
I think that traditionally that is a strike as I said earlier, and I don't care if umps miss a little bit compared to ABS as long as the pitcher executes the pitch, and especially if the batter is not protecting there.

all those American dudes with hands dutifully over their hearts for the Italian anthem . At least they all have Italian names and look the part, unlike Austin Wells lol.

No idea where your graphic comes from but it's obviously inaccurate based on the actual footage.

Pitch #8 below is the pitch in question.

Trackman does a great job of this.

Regardless, are you under the impression an umpire from his vantage point is correctly judging the height of a 90mph slider is when it reaches the front of the plate?

But so do umpires, because they have a terrible vantage point to measure what you’re asking

This is every called strike that Mason Miller threw last year. That same pitch spot was maybe called a strike once all last year.

jesus, i regret clicking this thread.

It’s honestly useless for a breaking ball. Show me the actual position of the ball as it crosses the very front of the plate Lester. You are so awesome with baseball stuff just help us out

No, just the umpire yesterday probably didn’t judge it correctly based on your image because I I had to guess the way the hitter is leaning his front knee is before the plate.
But in reality he called it a strike because Smith framed it

it sounds like you have it figured out. They are going to replace Hawk Eye with blurry twitter screen shots and call it Pridey Eye

I do have it all figured out. Simply move the ABS back to the front of the plate to correctly match the rules….Its ridiculous they changed that because “people didn’t like how it looked”

ABS is a metaphysical inversion

Looked good to me

Good game so far. This Italy team so damn scrappy.
Posted on 3/16/26 at 8:46 pm to Tiger Ryno
With Nola and Lorenzen going tonight, seems like an Italy win would be the optimal result for US
Posted on 3/16/26 at 8:47 pm to OldManRiver
Can someone explain Italy being white and blue w red and green in flag?
