@theaceofspaeder When it's any part of the ball, you're only judging on one margin. Make it 50% and now you need to judge both the zone and what constitutes 50% of the ball. The line needs to be drawn somewhere. No matter where you draw it, some pitches will miss by a millimeter.


Yoshinobu Yamamoto deals six strong innings as the @Dodgers win their 5th straight!





Dave Roberts said "there's got to be some grace" for Shohei Ohtani as a two-way player when asked about him getting extended time in between innings to warm up. "The truth is, he's different." (H/T: @HyeseongKimMuse)




In 2019 + 2021, when pitchers were still batting, their first pitch as pitcher would be 188-198 seconds after last pitch faced as batter Normal batters were 155-162 sec. Thats a gap of ~35 sec Ohtani 26: 2020 5: 2021 13: 2022 7: 2023 2: 2025 36: 2026 <- Historically normal


The Toronto Blue Jays appear to still be agitated by at least one thing from last year’s World Series: how long it takes Shohei Ohtani to warm up when he’s on the mound. nytimes.com/athletic/71836…

"I was told by two people directly involved this morning that Springer was not complaining at all." @Ken_Rosenthal says George Springer was simply asking the home plate umpire for clarification that Shohei Ohtani indeed gets more time to warm up.


Curious how everyone who participated in the WBC is doing to start the season.
