Manfred has a lot of shitty ideas, but damn if some of his ideas aren’t saving the game.

How is it saving the game to have all the highly attended games on one weekend? Do you understand how attendance works?

Baseball Seeks an Answer to a 150-Year-Old Question: What Is a Swing?

In a bid to settle the unending argument over when exactly a batter has swung at a pitch, MLB is launching a replay program in the minor leagues to adjudicate on checked swings

 

 

Now baseball is trying to settle the debate once and for all. On Tuesday, MLB will launch a pilot program in the minor leagues of a replay system for check swings, the term used to describe when a hitter begins to swing but then stops partway through. The test, which will take place in the Single-A Florida State League, is an effort to inject a degree of objectivity into the murkiest calls umpires have to make.

The new rule will work similarly to the automated strike zone that was auditioned during spring training this year and uses the same technology. Teams will have the ability to ask a computer to determine whether a hitter swung or not. If the head of the bat is ahead of the knob on the end by more than 45 degrees, the pitch will be deemed a strike.
