I have not but that's an AB that could have easily gone the other way. That said, ump seemed pretty consistent on the zone being tight.
Could explain all of the home runs. Either way, for a long time I have been firmly in favor of relieving the umpires of calling taken pitches. No challenges. The ABS system calls em all. I'd like to see check swings eligible for challenge also.
Agree. The strikezone should not be a guessing game. Automated ball and strikes needs to happen for all pitches.
I second check swings. Or at least make them booth review like foul/fair calls. That one yesterday had me punching air.
I also understand the desire to keep baseball “pure” but the fact that a mob boss rigged a World Series being a factual thing should all but throw that argument out of the window. Not all technology is the same as the iPad spin to ask for a tip
this game is big business now and needs to be treated accordinglyOK but I fail to see how removing a huge element of human error out of the game is disrupting 'purity'. Seems to me its the other way around.I also understand the desire to keep baseball “pure” but the fact that a mob boss rigged a World Series being a factual thing should all but throw that argument out of the window.

Woodson was a smidge late on his swing or he wins it with a walk off homer in B9. That stung.
I thought he was inconsistent all game. He gave Georgia’s starter way too much leeway outside that our pitchers never got. Once their starter left it got better but that at bat in particular was horrendous. How in the world do you keep your cool after an at bat like that? Pitzer was visibly frustrated and it affected us more than putting the lead guy on.
You can see the strike zone data on ESPN's gamecast by clicking on the arrow next to the batter's name.
That is wild because I just saw Aoki's strike outs on a chart
strike! strike! strike! strike! strike! strike! strike! strike! strike! strike!
Exactly, but as they say, just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
I'm not one who usually blames the umps, but that home plate ump yesterday screwed us all over the place from Parker's called 3rd strike to several against Ace to all four pitches against ishikawa that the OP posted about.
Apparently Unless Georgia is pitching……….l don’t care what kind of strike zone they have as long as they keep it the same for both teams for the whole ball game. Far too often you see strike zones that evolve over the course of the game and you see strike zones expand for one team and shrink for the other. Happens all the time, from little league on up. Just be consistent. Is that too much to ask?
That's not ABS though, that's just where the ESPN app placed the pitch location. If you go by ESPN there weren't any balls pitched in the game.

I fail to see where I said it would make it not “pure.” I just know how much some folks hate change of any kind at all and was saying that this particular thing needed to happen whether they liked it or not.
I fully agree and it did in fact favor GA in the end when we had 2 outs and 2 strikes I believe could be wrong but pretty sure it was 2. Anyways I was in disbelief it was two strikes you couldn’t throw any better that led to a 2 run home run with them taking the lead back instead of the hitter GA hitter getting rung up two times same location perfectly executed pitch. That should have been the end of the inning I’m pretty certain it was 2 outs 2 strikes. Instead the umpire out did himself on those horrendous calls leading to him likely effecting the outcome of the game. I’ll go back and see just exactly when it was but if it wasn’t that last home run they hit it was the one before that they hit. Either way game changing. I believe they went from down 1 to up 2. I’ve forgotten it made me so mad and with all the bs but someone on here will know or correct me.
