^^^ Not sure about the accuracy of the strike zone in that pic. It looks higher than what's spelled out here
The bottom of the zone will be set at 27% of a player's height and the top set at 53.5% of their height.
That's from this article.

But imo, with limited challenges, likely saved until crucial situations, especially late in the game, I think it's a good thing.

Been a Red Sox fan for 50 plus years and he can say what he wants but just watching him it feels like a giant middle finger to everyone. He’s not the most popular guy to begin with and this is probably not the way to make any new friends

I bet he gets traded. Maybe even to the NYY. He obviously isn’t happy. The Yankees could use a true 3rd baseman.

That scheissing sucks.

Looks like it would have been a legit base hit anyway.

Rangers are tied for the 3rd best winning percentage in baseball and have a -1 run differential. The other 3 teams in the picture are all in the NL West and 2 have beaten up on Atl. The lowest run diff of those 3 is +19. Baseball is a funny game.

Just read on espn that Nelson Cruz sister was also one of the people that died in that.

79 dead and another 160 injured.

Lmao! They lost 17-2.

This is the best thing you'll see today.

Catcher! Take a lap!

scheissing Rangers. The only thing missing was the Benny Hill music.

Gave up a walkoff little league homerun on a comebacker to the pitcher.

Is it time to question Boche's future in Arlington? This is pathetic.

It’s time to do SOMETHING. I don’t know if it’s fire the hitting coach or what. But clearly their approach is not working.

Time to fire the hitting coach was 2 weeks ago.

Time to fire the hitting coach was 2 weeks ago.

When did baseball start using offensive coordinators? That might be part of the problem.

CY ain't scheissing around today. He's had enough.

Not surprising. Evan Carter gains a year of control Tuesday, and has a much higher ceiling and Tavares has way too many defensive miscues to not hit either.

A shame it took Rose's death and an appeal by his family to make him eligible for the HOF, along with Shoeless Joe: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45115659/pete-rose-shoeless-joe-jackson-players-reinstated-mlb
