Series Thread: Rangers Host the Tigers for Three Games August 26-28

[saddles]

How quick can Zavala make it to the show?

He seems to have had a major jump in his hitting due to moving up a level where he faces pitchers who are able to throw more strikes.

Allard with a one hitter through 5 innings for Round Rock.

One more inning and one more hit given up by Allard. Only one run allowed.

They may have to go with Dunning, Perez, Otto, Alexy and Allard until Gray and/or Ragans gets back. Pick your poison I guess.

 

[saddles]

Three hits for Zavala tonight.

Don't care what he looks like.
Do care about the way he hits a baseball

So this is grading them on how they compare to other catchers in strikes looking. I take it is supposed to represent those who frame pitches better.

I have always thought that the fact that framing is even a thing is a serious indictment of the state of umpiring.

I take it, if we ever get robo umps calling balls and strikes, that the value if framing will be nil.

Most likely, robo umps will kill pitch framing
