So here's a question about the possibility of an automated strikezone future. You obviously can't have the same zone for every player because of heights, (look at altuve and judge) so how do you account for that with automated zones.

and do they enforce the zone "as written" or the zone as consistently called (the one that the players are used to) which is wider. pitchers will throw a fit if they went to the zone as written.

Basically the electronic strike zone is perfect and needs to be implemented immediately otherwise fans get salty when calls go against their team.

I was watching and knew the strike zone was bullshit. You can call balls and strikes from your couch pretty consistently from your couch, believe it or not. But people only pay attention to a graphic which can be wrong. Not saying that's what is happening here (they do look a bit off the plate), but MLB needs to get rid of the strike zone graphic. It's stupid and gives people a reason to complain more.

Although the zone Fox is using right now is nice. It isn't overbearing and thankfully isn't taking up an eighth of the screen.

This seems a little nutty given they lead in the series and are going home if they happen to lose and Verlander has never pitched relief and the weather...but we will see

Bringing in Verlander is odd, what if it starts raining hard? Only getting an inning or so then dealing with a huge rain delay seems like it could be a waste.

Hinch wanted to out redsox the redsox and look what happens.

Now what does Hinch do? Brin Keuchell on a pottential game 5 on short rest when he could had just had Verlander well rested? Lmao, Astros had two chances on beating the Royals in 2015 Divisional Series and couldnt do the Job, Will they repeat again?
