The first five is probably what we'll see on opening day.

Digging the superimposed strike zone on ESPN.

 

Me too but part of me fears we've entered into a whole new era of umpire bashing.

 

How is this possibly something you would "fear."

 

Too much bullying could make them feel like ISIS is the only place they can turn to?

Because its all we will hear about. Everyone knows every umpire has their own strike zone, and it sucks and we wish they would just use the technology available to calls balls and strikes. But I don't see the MLB doing anything about it, so all this will lead to is nonstop bitching about every single borderline call. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

How about 'it's rarely factually correct and I don't want it cluttering up the screen during live action'?

That's a good reason too.

There already is nonstop bitching about borderline calls. That's basically baseball DNA.

[sneakypower]

much love to Shark for gettin' us Addi & McKinney and 1/3 Fowler

[Hairyducked Idiot]

He's right. We're going to have so much power and so many Ks/low OBP.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

the reason our cobs won't win anything

I think if our cobs don't win anything this year, it'll be the pitching's fault. If it does what it's supposed to do, we're golden. But it's pitching, so WTF knows.
