Look no further than Angel Hernandez in the Brewers @ Phillies game a weekend or two ago. Still makes me mad
MLB Umpires are ~94% accurate on ball strike calls with worst last year grading out jsu under 92% and the best just over 95%, if robot umps can beat that, sign me up in a heartbeat.Do you really want a by-the-book strike zone called by a robot? I do not. I don't think the hitters would either
pitcher's dad here so I love the big zone but those were 3 badly missed calls and it's unacceptable at that level and is the reason why electronic strike zones are on the way soon. That's some incompetent umpiring.Like to see what the umpire's on dfp think of that?

As a catcher I am not surprised those pitches are strikes.
(even though I do not care for that technique of pic and jerk)
Prefer subtle wrist frame of glove only apon receiving.
One way or the other simply could have been the pitch location regardless of the catcher umpire liked what he saw as a strike. But it did appear the catcher new he needed to move his arm/glove after catching pitch to make it a strike and that was a little dorky that's why I don't like that.
