It wasn’t the outcome we were hoping for but my 6 yo son will be a lifelong @JordanSpieth fan bc you took 30 sec to sign a golf ball on your way to the putting green before your Friday match. No huge crowds. No cameras. Just a kid and his granddad and a memory. #RyderCup2023
In 2021, Cardinals had best fielding alignment, getting 16 extra outs as a result.
If we focus on when they made the biggest gamble, setting an alignment with an expected catch probability 35% from league distribution, 32 times they made right call, and only 11 times not.
@HouCounterplot Generational talent is a stretch. He’s an elite SS but he’s not a generational talent. Trout. Pujols. Bagwell. Griffey. He’s not in that class.
@Bryan_TGP@tqua2ci@Jomboy_ This is false. “On or over” only applies as the ball is passing on or over 1B/3B. The rule explicitly states if the ball settles ON foul territory or is touched by a player ON foul territory it is a foul ball.
Both arguments are correct, but you were/are 'right'. MLB should expand and enforce a bigger zone to get more balls in play and make the game more enjoyable to watch.
@dgoold after hearing your pods with @KevinWheeler94 and @bthompson48 about expanding or contracting the k zone, it seemed like you and Kevin were caught up in semantics. He was arguing for more offense. You were arguing for more balls in play. The 2 are not necessarily equal.
I agree with you completely that a bigger zone would put more balls in play and enhance and improve the game. I think Kevin is probably also right that a smaller zone would increase offense - walks, hits, HRs. But it would exacerbate all of MLBs current aesthetic problems.
