Before robot umps happen, they need to roll this out in the minors for a good long while and work out the kinks. I’d suspect an offensive explosion at first, so adjusting the zone downward, as others have said, would seem a likely fix.
I keep hearing commentators say that umpiring has never been better, but wow some of these scorecards are just brutal. Best of times, worst of times I guess.
I don’t know what to make of not having news yet. It’s been over half an hour, and I’d think if it was precautionary they would have said something by now.
The extra rest has been huge so far. Can’t afford either of the other big three going down now, so I say let Ashby give it a go until he proves he can’t hack it.
That was my initial thought Thought I saw him shaking his right arm after the swing. I’m not Doogie Howser or anything, just a concerned fan, but I sure as heck hope it’s an oblique and and not an arm injury.
If any Brewers team has ever been equipped to deal with a CY-caliber pitcher going down in the stretch run, it is this one, but the title chances take a huge hit if he can’t return. Not good.
The Brewers on the other hand are doing a much better job of winning just about every other place then AFF…..lol. But I guess when you are over .500 at home and dominant on the road that works out ok…. [sarcasm]It’s the curse of MillerCoors[/sarcasm]
Nice K to end it! My back of the envelope math indicates that if the Brewers keep winning series it’s going to be…*checks notes* very difficult for the reds or cards to catch them. So there’s that.
