Not even a week after pitchers and catchers reported, and Pablo Lopez is reported to have a 'significant tear' in his UCL. Tommy John surgery coming up.

That sucks.

Its almost like these things are a requirement now. Just shut them down in single A and get it over with.

Brand new UCLs for you! For you! For all!
 
Watching a Tech baseball game, and Tech hit a dinger to center field. The ball struck the pitch clock display and broke it. You guys really want to argue with God?

They did. But, that was before '23. I'd be curious if to know if they still do.

Sorry, but this is faulty logic. He subjectively removed a lot of close pitches to get down to that 20 something pitches which he used to get his percentage. And, don't get me wrong, I wish the Angel Hernandez's of the world can burn in hell. But, I don't want robo umps at all.
 
To me, a majority of the ball should be in the virtual box, not just a fraction of it.

I think it's fair because the close calls are the ones that we're talking about.

But even without that I think the argument is correct, umpires get far too much wrong and why wouldn't we use technology to correct that.

But that's never been the standard. Any part of the ball in the strike zone is a strike, like crossing the goal line.

It's a hitter's game right now. How about we use your buddies the robots to give a little advantage to the pitcher?
