[Official] Astros @ Padres

Some players change their stance. Cal Ripken had 2 or 3 going at one time.

 

It's that deadly combo of incompetence and unfjustied ego possessed by midwits

 

Have the official measurements overseen by MLB staff to try and make it as standardized as possible and attempt to cut down on attempts to game the system, either way though, at least you'd have a concrete strike zone that could be learned by pitchers and hitters alike.

 

Don't 99% of players reach the same position when the pitcher is winding regardless of their stance?

 

Of course not all of them do. Refer to my Ripken statement

 

That's a player issue.

Unless a player's actual body changes, his strike zone should always be the same.

A batter should not be able to change his individual strike zone. It should be constant based on height and proportions.

A player changing his strikezone to fit his purpose or the situation should be illegal. The pitcher has no way to combat it or adjust in kind. It's a one sided advantage and therefore should not be allowed.

 

I’m glad the rest of the games start before 8:40. I can stay up and it won’t kill me.

 

Lol.. every stance, once he's cocking to swing he comes to the same position -- just like 99% of players.

Bagwell too. He wasn't crotched low when swinging. He came back up when the pitch was delivered.

Only true fans will die for a championship.

I kid

 

Let's pray on this.

 

Never died, but I did give up my soul for one of the championships. Gonna pay for that later.

 

Let's see if some of the all time greatest umpiring continues in this last game of the series.

 

Playoff games I’m all in.

 

astros ended arraez's no strikeout streak on monday.

ended his hit streak yesterday.

what streak are they ending today?

 

ha. padres fans are funny

 

Those co-ck - suckers.

 

Not much doing so far. Hmm.

 

Every player is different. I foresee problems with that.

the hitters will try to manipulate it too
