Just go to robo umps calling balls and strikes. Have a home plate ump to make calls of out or safe behind home. And if there’s a malfunction to it. 

I just don’t like robo umps.  Part of the game is stretching the zone with sequences of pitches and catchers framing pitches.

I’m a traditionalist. So i don’t like it but these umps have gotten to the point where it’s just really bad all around baseball. 

Fantastic 

Nola wants Alvarado to go sit back down.

Marlins love hitting into them double plays

On it!

Nola back to ace form.  6 shutout innings and only at 70 pitches.

If you want to mess with the fabric of the game and toy with the notion…I’d give the hitter the ability to challenge the call on the field…has to come from the hitter.  But if the hitter challenges and is wrong…there needs to be some sort of penalty.

Automatic strikeout, no matter what the count is.

Part of the game that should have been gone 30 years ago.  All your scenario promotes is a larger strike zone for high profile pitchers and a tiny strike zone for high profile hitters — subjectivity and favoritism.

How many would a team get a game with their pursuit of speeding the game up

Would be a really good time for Bryce to connect on one to another planet. But i don’t think they’ll give him anything good to hit. Just talk the walk and get to realmuto and castellanos. Hopefully one of them comes through.

We’ll, he’s at home. I don’t know the split but I feel like on the road he pitches like me left armed

1 failed attempt.  As long as you are right... you can continue.

Why even bring a lefty to face harper if you aren’t gonna even pitch to him. The next 2 batters are righties after him which makes no sense. 

Absolutely dumb play by harper. You can’t go anywhere with the guy on second. Even if they say he’s safe that’s just poor base running for it to be that close.

Had to make it realistic. 

F you, Bell. He got back.

At home he is absolutely a different guy.

 

Phillies appear to have changed their approach at the plate now that we are in the post season.  Not swinging for the fences... and its working.

Were hoping he'd get himself out.
