"Let me prove you wrong with an illustration of how right you are"

You are delusional. How on earth is that off the plate? Show me a single box that says that pitch is not a strike. Find one.

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

It was definitely filthy, but below the knees

Again, the ump was all over the place for both teams, Jose Ramirez stared him down on a called strike above his shoulders

It is what it is. We have been bitching about the strike zone since Doubleday stole someone's idea for baseball. As for Ramirez? That is one mean messican....he stares down his own mother that way

Do you see the plate? is that ball landing on or accross it?

Or off of it?

 

[soxfan1468927]

See Plate

See Where pitch lands in Glove

Let me know if that is "OFF THE PLATE" or "ON THE PLATE, AKA, a STRIKE"

Do you know what a curveball does?

Landing? You think that where the catcher makes the catch determines whether or not the ball crosses the plate?

I see dead people, but I don't think you were asking me

Definitely, and it didnt affect the outcome one iota....I jut shiver at the idea that the best of the best are supposed to be umping these games

It wont matter vs the Yankees, but vs the Stros, or in the WS, this thing could be something thats a problem

I'm not critiquing the umps performance as a whole, but I'm looking at a frozen frame of the pitch and it looks like it crosses the plate knee high. I do think it looks lower than what soxfan's box shows, but it looks in.

Doubleday stole nothing. He was as surprised as anybody to hear that he had invented baseball.

Tell me Mr Science

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Landing? You think that where the catcher makes the catch determines whether or not the ball crosses the plate?

NO, but since the yellow trajectory arrow you show doesnt ever cross the plate, NOT EVEN CLOSE, Im just asking at what point is it a strike if it never crosses or lands over the plate?

Perhaps. If the Indians reach game 7 of the WS and get screwed by balls and strikes call then I will definitely bitch about it

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Where's pitch #4?

Where's pitch #2?

Where's pitch #2?

You must be trolling now. It clearly shows it crossing the plate.

At best, you are bitching about a ridiculously close call on a nasty pitch.

 

[soxfan1468927]

Again, show me where it crosses the plate?

I already did.

Question for the group... I kind of overheard that tonight's game was on the MLB Network? I don't have that with my cable package. Will be it pirated by another network? I know in the past when Cleveland teams have been in the playoffs (obviously not the Browns) a local station will play the feed of the cable network handling the broadcast

 

[PolarVortex]

I just watched Judge's K in the 1st on MLB At Bat. It caught the corner. Filthy.

That was about as immaculate of a pitch as a pitcher can throw.

Bullshit

Boom.

It's not a put down, he put his foot down, and then he make-a-some-love, he put his root down!

 

[soxfan1468927]

Where's pitch #4?



Where's pitch #2?



Where's pitch #2?

For some reason not shown on there. They are in the other graphs for horizontal and vertical movement. All 3 were called balls.
