Good baserunners know that and will take a longer lead after the first pickoff try and than steal

As long as bowl games make money will have more and more. Do wish they would speed up the game to no more than 3 hours. These 4 hour games take too long

Agreed!

Judge gets more than his share of low balls called strikes. His average would go up 20 points with electronic balls and strikes.

I've see quite a few broadcasts replay the pitch call with a 3D home plate. When you are using a center field camera, fairly straight on, the only thing you can display is 2D.

I've seen the replay cameras that show the pitch crossing the plate from an angle such that the pitch crosses (or not) the full length of the plate. But the ones I've seen are not a representation of the strike zone 'box'. Just the ball passing the plate.

Wait until a playoff game is decided by someone violating the timer. lol.

Excitement in the game? It's like watching paint dry.

I haven't watched baseball since they went on strike during the playoffs in the late '80s.

They all know the rules

The “problem” is the box on the screen. Wish it were optional to watch a game without it. Attention is focused on whether a pitch is called correctly. Extremely distracting on borderline calls. It “IS” what the ump says it “IS”.

I guess you’re right but like some people tell me, don’t watch them! But to have 30 to 40 Bowl games is rediculous!

I agree. Some networks have shown a 3 dimensional strike zone albeit after a call has been made. It can be done on replay, I don't know if it can be done in real time.

And I would have no problem making the strike zone the same for everyone. The difference between someone that is 6'4" and someone that is 5'8" seems like a lot but the difference from their armpits to the top of their knees is not that much different. Most of the difference in height in humans is in their legs.

I'm not saying that there is no difference but it is small. Why should shorter people be given an advantage> Make it X inches from the plate to whatever height they determine to be fair.

What I mean by to many Bowl games I mean Colleges are coming up with Bowl games that schools are developing Bowls for schools that lose 6 or 7 games out of 12 or 13 total games & only have a couple thousand students. Not picking on small schools but playing in a Bowl game with only winning half their games. Guess I don’t have to watch them! Can’t amagine Baseball having playoffs for every team. I don’t care much for baseball but it’s short enough that I do watch it.

A same-for-everyone strike zone would take care of that, because then shorter players would have a disadvantage.

I agree with you but as long as people watch the game either on TV or in person and they find sponsors for the games we will only get more and more of them.
