I believe that is simply due to the graphics used by Statcast to display their strikes as I believe they just use the save overlay. Consider it a visual representation versus a 1:1 implementation in graphic of a specific hitter. Hawk Eye is the system being implemented by Savant and MLB and Hawk Eye certainly accounts for batter height. Every hitter has a customized and created zone according to MLB and how they use Hawk Eye.

I think it's a trick from K-Zone. Every year ESPN's K-Zone gets flak for stuff like this. Because K-Zone makes it look low, we automatically believe it with our eyes. But here is the Statcast track of the Bogaerts PA. That's a strike according to Savant. Similar things were happening early in this series when PCA was swinging up and inside. K-zone said he was chasing, Savant had him swinging at high strikes in the zone. It's always tough to figure out which system is the best as the zone is not something that lives on a two dimensional plane, but something that exists in three. Yet K-Zone and Savant both depict is as flat. As long as a pitch clips the zone in that three dimensional plane, it's a strike according to the rules. What makes that hard is showing it throw a flat, 2-d panel and how it may or may not clip that zone. I always tend to lean towards Savant. I use K-zone from a viewing standpoint and then allow Savant to either confirm or refute the K-Zone call (I am that dork who has a 3-screen split when watching games which includes a Savant screen. This is a judgement free zone) This is getting first party data from MLB's system direct, Hawk Eye. Hawk Eye will be used by the ABS system next year. Just feels the most prudent everything considered.

I was working at Circuit City. That sentence dates me.

This will be on repeat for the next 48 or so hours.

38! I just have a baby face. The light hides all my gray haha

He got him

Ugh.

ESPN K-Zone is trash, ya'll.

Not that anyone cares about how deep the "umpires call guys out when the ball beats the runner" conspiracy goes, but it's seemingly trickled all the way down to the depths of the Lexington Adult Baseball scene. It's deep. *me, still mad about getting tossed at 3rd that one time this year.
-
I don't think they *have* to, but my guess is that they will ere on the side of caution. Better to review anything close than to refuse it, and then deal with the fallout tomorrow.
-
Use them by the 7th or you lose them essentially. 8th on and you can ask for a review.
-
I think he's in.
-
The Padres bullpen is exhausted, ya'll. Lets bust this open.
-
That's the tired bullpen!
-
Right now the Padres have and xBA of .275 and the Cubs an xBA of .273. The Cubs have the 4th best OAA in baseball. THe Padres have a -7, good for 18th. Sometimes you make your own variance.
-
Cubs defense. BIG
-
Yep. You have a former SP who's rested. If Kittredge handn't been used the last two days, I think he would have had an inning. But considering that? It's probably Keller for six.
-
If I told you in March that the Cubs would have Drew Pomeranz and Brad Keller closing out the last 9 outs of a playoff series, you'd have thought I was crazy.
-
Just one hitter. They'll bring in Pomeranz for the lefties.
-
He wasn't super sharp and went 18 pitches yesterday. He probably shouldn't be trusted much over 30 and he's almost there already.
-
Damnit. Well, probably just used up almost every pitch Suarez had in him. They'll either have to go on three-day-usage Morejon and Miller or dip into the BP further.

PETE!
