Recruiting Football Talk VIII

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

Ah. That makes sense.

[volsagain]

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.

He needs to be on the disabled circuit as president !

Happy Sunday

May 4, 2025: There are things you can do now that have been impossible in the past for a variety of reasons. The doors are opening and possibilities are presenting themselves for your consideration. Be sensitive to current opportunities to move beyond where you have been stuck. The days ahead must be taken one step at a time instead of one leap at a time. Prepare for a methodical and consistent process. Proverbs 119:133 Direct my steps by Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.

Tennessee finishes this weird series delayed by rain today st 1:00 p.m. on SEC + and 45 minutes final game of series begins.



Personally e- mailing Dave Roberts and asking him politely to give the Braves the win tonight...it's not right that Dodgers would sweep season series. Your Welcome
