But this zone is counting any ball that touches the black as a strike

No argument here, but the hitters, who also arent pros, are at a bigger disadvantage than their MLB counterparts.

And by definition they are pros. Most are getting paid.

My one problem with ABS is it should be 3 dimensional rather than 2. That part hurts pitchers, as pitches that catch the front or back of plate but not middle are not registered as strikes.

ABS differences - MLB vs SEC

MLB
width - 17 inches (actual plate)
upper margin - 53.5% of height
lower margin - 27% of height

SEC
width - 19 inches (black included)
upper margin - 58% of height
lower margin - 23% of height

TLDR - SEC zone is considerably bigger than that of MLB

Crazy they have a guy named “estuary”

I know that’s not the correct spelling but still.

This catcher trying to frame below the knees pitches all the way to the belt is certainly a strategy.
The great Skip Caray would say if you promise to patronize our sponsors you can feel free to walk your canine.
Thats always the case lol

My daughter and I call looking at that “spoilers”
Be nice if they could sync the audio from radio better on Braves Vision.

Radio is way ahead.
Bullpen thin tonight, had to try to stretch him a bit

Timothy Miller is goat
Asked my son this last night, curious to get some of yalls takes

Instead of mixing pitches, trying to cut corners, etc, would last night have been better or worse if every pitcher just threw fastballs down the middle?

That is, if they can.

I say better

How ridiculous are the guys with sunglasses on their hats at 10:00 at night?

They’ve got to limit the time outs and mound visits.
