IF the catcher is doing his job, he can get a lot of strikes for his pitcher by framing and pulling glove back into strike zone...

Tennessee is getting framed, by Sankey.

 

[MarcoVol]

That is good baseball. They figured out that if the catcher starts his glove outside the ball and catches it as he moves it toward the strike zone, it will give the illusion of being a strike. Catchers are graded on their ability to do this move.

Yes I know. But that ball was over the LH batters box. No catcher is a magician enough to make that be called a strike unless the umpire should be on the little league circuit.

It creates the visual illusion of it being a strike. Every ump falls for it at times. Here are the stats for MLB catchers.

Eddie Perez stole strikes for Greg Maddux 3 or 4 inches off the corner.

There are 6 inches between home plate and the batters box. And that ball did more than break the plane of the LH batters box.

I love baseball, but man. Talk about importance in collected data. This ranks up there with...

1. Horse racing analytics
2. Golf (anything)
3. Hockey

in the who gives a **** rankings.

What does that mean? 3rd game has to be in 9th inning by 4:30?

The way it's been applied, from what I've seen, is that a game ends at the end of the current inning when the clock passes 4:30. There was a big controversy between A&M and UK (iirc) where UK was stalling in the bottom of an inning while having the lead because it was getting close to 4:30.

But @MarcoVol has said this will be a 7in game anyway.

all those angles dont matter. All that matters is what the ump thinks that he saw. Ump was set up over inside shoulder which makes it more difficult to tell outside strikes. Catcher was set up slightly off the plate and did a good job catching the ball as his glove was moving back to the strike zone.

@VolsDoc81TX I just got my right hip replaced a couple weeks ago and at my two week appt, they told me I wasn't cleared to drive for another 4 weeks. Is that pretty standard with the right hip? What about the left, as I will be getting that one done in a few months. Thanks for the info.

Good move by catcher.

Atrocious umpiring.

It is as Doctors tend to be on the cautious side. If you are WBAT then you shouldn’t hurt your hip but they are concerned about your lack of strength/coordination when driving.

I don’t wanna get rid of umps. I like the human element and adding a little variability to the game. But it can’t be *that* bad. That’s comical. The ump for G1 of Vols series wasn’t much better.

I’m not suggesting we eliminate them. Just shrink the scope of their responsibilities.

I honestly don't get how that works though. If I see a catcher pull their glove back into the zone my first thought is they caught it out of the zone. I understand the concept of framing just seems counterintuitive to me.
