Interesting. I wonder though how it accounts for a player like George Brett or Pete Rose who crouched in their batting stance.It uses the official scoring feed...so whoever is at bat had their height officially recorded before the season, and that height is used to determine the strike zone when a call is challenged.
It doesn't. Every player will have the same zone adjusted for their height that takes into account an "average" stance.Interesting. I wonder though how it accounts for a player like George Brett or Pete Rose who crouched in their batting stance.
The one spot I enjoy it...the PGA "walk and talks".On a side rant - can we just stop game-in-progress interviews? With players, managers, coaches, anyone. Just stop it.
No one wants to hear what Burt Bulimia has to say near the end of the 1st quarter vs. Northwestern. No one wants to even know what he's thinking.
Show the friggin' games. Show the ballpark or stadium. Show anything but an endless stream of no talent bimbos or tight suit wearing shrills trying to add to my experience when I just want to watch a game that they, themselves are interrupting.

Bill Veeck told Eddie Gaedel that he had a sniper stationed in the bleachers of Sportsman's Park with orders to shoot to kill if Gaedel swung his bat.As for the ABS, bring it on. The more the better.
Someone get on one of those DNA family sites and find this family tree. There's another Eddie out there. I know there is.

I wish there was another Bill Veeck out there. Baseball would be more fun.
