I am in full support of the challenge system. It's a good balance between keeping thr game human and making it more fair than it has evolved into.
Just watched this earlier and I was dumbfounded.
Also seen many outside the zone called for strikes. Didn't the umps have spring training too?
Like the challenge system.
The umps have been horrible.
@@ToMaToEsGrOw Umpires aren't given eye test anymore, against their union rules 😡
Antonelli, I like your new format. Shorter vids, concise, get to the point, and almost in real time as the game isn’t even over yet.
RoboCalls…hell yes. Keep the porcine human behind the plate, have the computer relay the ball or strike to him so he can do his little stylish dance back there and make the play at the plate call. But it’s time balls and strikes were called with the same accuracy and consistency game in and game out.
Of course. Further, MLB can implement this with no indication it's being done to the fan other than the strange improvement in game calling..
@@ohger1 Agreed…the strange improvement would indeed seem weird and be a tell that there was an intervention of a higher power. It might, though, cause some umps…I won’t name names Angel Hernandez…cerebral bleeding and genital warts.
@@justicegusting2476 I suspect AH has genital warts already..
The Ump had money on Max Fried not winning the game.
I have been watching highlights of some of the games so far this year since opening day and this is .not the first time I've seen a center cut pitch called a ball. This is the 3rd time this season yet we're not even half a week into the season.
Watched this live. The umps are completely out of hand. The lack of accountability is outrageous.
Angel Hernandez called. He says, "Hit by pitch. Take your base"
As an Ump the front elbow is a reference point for me.
You are right, he leans into it.
Bring on the robo umps or at least a challenge system for strike calls!
Auto SZ needed. At the very least a challenge system. This is the RARE occasion where the offense benefits from the umpires BS. Normally, we see stuff like a 1-1 count turn 1-2 instead of 2-1.
If you're gonna keep human umps, ditch the little box and dots on the broadcast. It just serves to make people irate. In years before that was added it felt tough to tell on pitches that were close and it was a better fan experience IMO.
You're 100% correct. That was very borderline. The box was way too high.
@@MH-Teslawrong. That's the textbook definition of the strike zone. "midpoint between a batter's shoulders and the top of the uniform pants -- when the batter is in his stance and prepared to swing at a pitched ball -- and a point just below the kneecap."
@@InvertedFreeSolo Key words are "in his stance", which is not what the box is calibrated to in the video. It's correct at 0:08, but the actual stance is at 0:42. And based on 0:42 it is probably a 50/50.
Glad that it is in your opinion. I am jealous of you. I always comment about topics in someone else's opinion. Good job
In someone else's opinion, I think that is a dumb comment. Not my opinion, a commenter to be named later.
Please let this be the last year where humans call Balls and Strikes. Technology should be calling stuff as small as this.
What happens when technology fails? Ask the bridge in Baltimore.
@@matthewdubay1180 Humans brought the bridge down not tech. Weather you like or not Balls and Strikes will be called by computers within the next 2 years at the MLB level.
Humans brought the bridge down... That sounds like the name of a sweet punk rock or progressive rock band! Not sure what the weather has to do with the bridge or baseball or punk rock? I am sure you meant to type, whether, not weather, correct?
@@matthewdubay1180 You sound like you don't know crap about baseball. I surely hope you do know something about it.
@@landen3578 I sound stupid about a lot of stuff. I like and know about baseball. And don't call me Shirley
It doesn't even need to be as obvious as a blown third strike or ball four - a bad call turns a 2-1 count into a 1-2 count (or vice versa) which changes the entire at bat, the movement of the runners, and indeed, the trajectory of the rest of the game if the call causes an out or costs an out. If MLB won't do the 3D computer calling, then at least implement a challenge. It would take seconds at most.
is anyone reeeally surprised the ump blew a call?
The challenge system!
No excuse for the ump blowing this call, but the catcher's anti-framing job sure didn't do his pitcher any favors.
There was a similar pitch today by Stroman early in the Yanks/Astros game. Ridiculous. Bring on the Robo Umps!
I've umpired behind the plate before and I've pitched from little league to highschool and at age 13 I played travel baseball for coaches that played pro or college. So I have been on both sides of the fence but being behind the plate is much tougher than what fans think. Because they don't have that box to go by and they have to make calls in real time. Plus you have two catchers on both teams who does a very good job in framing pitches and at times they make it hard on the umpire on what's a ball and what's a strike
Sure it's a bit tougher behind that plate, but just like anyone that's a professional, ball player, athlete, or otherwise, you should have the skills to be able to at least be somewhat close in your strike and ball calling. I think if you get bad grades in calling balls and strikes, and we can justify this somewhat with things like the Umpire Scorecards, you reward good balls and strike callers behind the plate more, while guys like Angel Hernandez and others ump mostly in the field, or not at all.
@@MassBoost
Unfortunately that's not how it works because most umpires use a rotation system and when it's time for you to be behind the plate. Well your behind the plate whether you want to or not but at this level there are so many good catchers who knows how to frame pitches. That makes it tough for the umpire to call balls and strikes at times
@@Mitten4371 I never implied that's how it works one bit. But just like the game of baseball, where we are seeing rule changes seemingly on a yearly basis, the way they go about allowing umpires to be able to make calls behind the plate can be adjusted as well. Just like subpar ball players don't get to see playing time on a regular basis due to their substandard performance, there's no reason that umpires can't be held to the same standard of being allow to be behind the plate. If you've ever looked at the Umpire Scorecards site, they don't care whether balls are called balls or strikes, they assess if each pitch and if it's a ball or a strike, and assess the umpire's on their call to be accurate or not. It's not about pitch framing, it whether they make the correct call more often than not regardless on what he catcher does. We can quantify that, just like we can quantify pitches, their spin rates, and their movement according to statcast.
Perfect argument for humans not calling balls and strikes.
@@MassBoost I agree with you. All jobs are difficult in some ways, everybody makes mistakes at their jobs. If a chef overcooks a steak, should the chef be replaced by a ninja air fryer? The third baseman struck out, replace him with a fungo.
Both the pitcher and batter knew for a fact that was a strike, with each taking a step of sorts towards their dugouts, but somehow the failure of an ump makes one of the worst calls we'll see all season, and the season has only just started.
I am ready for the robot challenge!
no
and this would have ended a bases loaded threat in the first inning by philly, instead it’s a walk, and then a blooper for them to score 3…. braves ended up stomping them into ground for the second day in a row anyways but I mean, a pitcher uses hit “get out of a jam” pitch, throws it perfectly, and that happens
Challege system. Screw robo. Keep human element. Watching, love a good argument. Playing, a different story. Careers are on the line. Baseball, March Madness, myself and 3 other people asked for college hockey on the corner tv. 😅
This is why the gamification with challenges is a fundamentally broken system. FULL AUTOMATION NOW
Amazing. I thought we got rid of blind umpires. It wasn't even close. Suspend the guy. Fried would have been out of the inning with no runs given up.
That strike zone looks a little high, even though he is a tall batter. The catcher has to reach up to catch pitch, which probably caused the umpire to think it was high.
Time for pitch challenges like in the NFL. 2 or 3 challenges a game. This is ridiculous.
Minimum 3. But these mfrs are bad. Like really bad. Could make a case for 9, one per inning.
@@haywood0457if you win the challenge you don’t lose it. I think in the minor leagues they had 3-5 depending on the league.
And Braves 3rd baseman Austin R. was called out on a pitch outside and low in the top of the first. Yes it was close but this pitch was off the corners and close to the middle. My first thought was is that Angle H. behind the plate.
Karma took care of the phillies
pause at 2:34, could be called 50/50. ball was in the web of the catcher's glove but framed a bit down. and then the ball on the box display thing is shown way below where it really was, lol
I think it is correct due to where the ball crossed the front of the plate, which in this case is all that matters because its not like it was a curveball that didnt catch the front of the plate and caught the back of the plate. The only reason it looks boarderline is because of where it ended up in the catchers glove I think.
@@UGAfan1227 for the bounding box, the ball should be near the top line, touching it. def not that far below it. go to 2:34 and press . to skip frame by frame
The "human element" argument is so dumb. Let's say MLB figured out a way to make all umpires call balls and strikes perfectly. There was some magical method to teach the umpires to be able tell when a ball is over the plate or isn't. Would you then say that they hurt or ruined the game by eliminating bad calls? Would you advocate for introducing errors in balls and strike calls to improve the game. No. We would celebrate how umpires were calling perfect games behind the plate.
Catcher didn't really help matters, basically literally sitting on his ass instead of in traditional catcher crouch, and received the ball above his face mask, all things that made it appear high.
That ump definitely needs glasses
The MLBUA will come up with a reason this was called correctly.
Robo umps 🤖
Robo umpires must be coming soon. The umps just make too many mistakes.
That umpire should be fined!
So what’s the name of the umpire that needs a good talking to ?
Send this umpire to the eye doctor since he’s obviously blind
If he’s blind an optometrist can’t do sh!t for him. He needs a seeing eye dog or an eyeball transplant.
Robots R soon to be officiating all sports. In this day and age I do not recall so many mistakes by humans. Instant replay was to improve officiating, not make it worse. I think it is worse in all big sports, football, baseball, soccer. I not into hockey but all I can say is for those three it is worse.
What robotic system calls fair/foul?
Two strikes and the batter isn't protecting the plate? This is what drives me crazy at every level of baseball, especially MLB! If you ain't swingin' you're sittin'. He should have been rung up!
Try it - getting locked up happens even to the best (and I wasn't one of the best).
There should be a rule against drunk umpires
There's no chance Fried was going back out in the 2nd after a 37 pitch 1st inning. Not on opening day.
Was this pitch his 37th pitch? Or was that when he got pulled?
That one pitch ruined Max's day. It happens but I hope this umpire sees this.
MLB umpires get a video of every single plate game they work as well as an MLB K Zone report for each pitch. He'll know he missed this one, even if he didn't realize it at the time.
I’m about to retire from being an Angels fan since the early 90’s, they are doodoo
that umpire should be suspended for 5 games and investigated for being blind or paid off. mlb should place orders for tesla robots dressed as umps with AI. start installing the compute strike zone. then have drones flying over every base for video on every play.
I like the human element! They are human and no one’s perfect. They mlb umpires do a great job with the exception of one angel.
Objectively this is not correct.
Had this game ended up being close which it was at the time it could have cost them the game. Imagine this was the bottom of the 9th. Braves would end up losing a game due to 1 bad call. The human element is fine but they need the ball/strike challenge system desperately.
Sure no one’s perfect, but if you can’t see a pitch right down the middle you probably shouldn’t be calling balls/strikes
Upper limit of box is clearly wrong. Pitch is probably a strike, but it is right at the top of the zone.
Being down the middle is not the issue.
@@thebigcnel yes it is lol
Hopefully blue didn't have money on the game
U played enuf to know that's a K
I love the human element, but damn does it get annoying
What you call the human element I would call a joker in the deck. And that should not be baseball.
Computer calling of balls and strikes is far more accurate. Let's do it.
Mistakes happen and are a part of life. It’s part of baseball. There’s be a problem with robot umpires too.
That was borderline. The box on screen is way off. Not to mention, you have how many pitches EVERY day on video and you find this one? So a pitch, that based on location, could be a ball, probably a strike, but super close (if you can ignore the incorrectly placed box).
Nowhere near borderline. That pitch is between the letters and the belt and between the middle and the inner third of plate.
Nah. Very top of the zone. Probably still a strike, but box is clearly wrong.
Found the Phillies fan in the comments
@Phatmastag that was a borderline strike/ball call. The box is misleading.
@@Rooster_king nothing borderline about this. Everybody in the park knew this was a strike except the one person that should know.
Absolute disgusting call
Mistakes happen. Why does everyone complain when an umpire misses one "easy" pitch, and gets 95+% of the rest of the pitches correct....but never seems to think that a shortstop should be suspended 5 games for an error, or a batter fined for earning a Golden Sombrero?
This isn't about complaining that an ump misses a call it about the fact that there are more accurate ways of making the call. What the hell does a player error have to have to do with this? A fielding error or a batter not getting a hit is penalized by the opponent getting an advantage.
@@iggy8702 Apparently you have forgotten that even RoboUmp breaks down, fails to track a pitch, and occasionally calls a strike when it's 6 inches off the plate. For more details, see all of the videos out there chronicling PitchF/X and Trackman in the independent leagues and the minors and the jumping broadcast strike zone box. In fact, just the other day, the RoboUmp zone failed for 16 pitches in a row during the exhibition game between the Yankees and Diablos Rojos de Mexico.
What does this have to do with shortstops and batters? Simple: umpires and players are human beings out there doing a job at the highest level in the world, in one of the most competitive settings.
Any of us is free to go take away an MLB player's job or an umpire spot: all we have to do is demonstrate that we are better than the product currently on the field.
The human element is a really really big part of the game. We all love to hate Angel Hernandez.
Reading your stats you were what the professional sports calls a bust. A first round draft doesn't play just one season unless they were a bust. You can take that junk off the screen and just have a normal CZcams channel.
