Urshela has hit some bullets right at people lately.

No player in MLB would benefit more from an electronic strike zone than Aaron Judge. If it gets set up right for him. Still a human element... well, yeah....but if the strike zone boundaries were only as accurate as that created by the broadcast software, it would be a huge advance over the zone that the umpires seem to see on Judge....I don't think we would ever have cause to complain even with that zone, which is probably not optimized.... |

If it gets set up right for him. Still a human element... How do you argue with a computer... I sent a solar proposal back to the designer last week because he did a bad job inputting data and it was wrong. You’ve surely heard of garbage in, garbage out. I’ve caught multiple bad spread sheets in the past and will catch many more because I’m pretty quick with math in my head... I would think that someone will have to set up a strike zone for each hitter. In my mind’s eye I see the hitters being stood up in their batting stance and perhaps have some magnetic or similar tape applied and a laser measurement taken. Believe it or not RFID is not completely infallible. I’ve seen it fail in a manned similar to what we all see when a barcode, or a barcode reader fails in a retail store. Sorry I have experiences that I can share with anyone who has a pollyannish view point of this as an easy solution. I feel it to be feasible, but there will be challenges. Baseball will probably have to use film as s backup in case the system fails mid-game... |

Colorado has their share of both the towns and mines. Sadly, most are protected so it’s hard to get near them, to touch them. I found one ghost town on a map last time Ruthie’s daughter and grand daughter visited because they said they’d like to see a ghost town. So, of course I drive 1.5 hours, not knowing what to expect. When we get to the approximate site, we see a guy that’s standing near the road. His house was nearby, and he explained to us that the road into the town washed out about two years before. He said plenty of people (probably only a few dozen) had walked up the hill and viewed what remained. We were at about 7500 feet, and the hill might have been a 200-300 foot climb over a quarter mile. Everyone in the truck but me was overweight, and of course they were from sea level. I knew they couldn’t make the climb, so I left when my daughter-in-law started suggesting that she had seen this scene in a horror movie before and didn’t want to climb the hill for fear that the “weird guy” we had met would be waiting at the top to butcher us all... LOL. I did get to pick up a few rocks to take home and got a close up look at some old mining equipment that day near the bottom of the hill, glimpsing part of a building at the top. Tourists want this stuff delivered to them on a silver platter. We take a drive and it’s “I don’t see all these wild animals you’re supposed to have out here. Where are the gold mines, ghost towns, wild mustangs, cougars? I was hoping to see those bighorn sheep butting each other, where is that”?...”Ya’ got any of those bears that catch fish we can see”?... Hey, sheep! We’ll give you ten dollars if you butt each other. Twenty if you’ll send your young out in the path of a cougar... Then the dopes get near a wild animal in a national or state park and want to pet it... If I take a trip to Colorado, can you show me all the mushroom people? Damn straight, Rizz. Hell, we can probably even find the sherpas on the western slopes... |

Over/under on Chapman walks this inning? I set it at 1.5. It's strange, because walks weren't a problem for Chapman in the first half of the season. |

My point is even if they are wrong it will be hard to argue with a computer. |
