@kramarcollects@BlakeHHarris The Brewers aren't under-spending. There are teams that are, but they aren't one of them. Their operating income in 2025, before taxes, depreciation and amortization, was only $24m per Forbes. https://t.co/z5vVjK4asU
@mbalan28@primexmpls@barstoolsports Toe drag if that's all that touches. If a toe hits first and the rest of the foot plants in a steady motion, like going tip-toed to flat-footed, then the hell can make it out. No issue either way here though.
@InglesKirby@UmpScorecards In a sport where so few "points" are scored, a few bad calls can frequently make a huge difference in outcomes. There should be no debate about wanting to get every call right, and robot umps is the best way to get as close as possible.
@MarkModerson@UmpScorecards Agreed. The impact algorithm is clearly flawed and has been forever. #3 on the actual scorecard should easily be #1 by situational impact. This should probably be #2 or #3
@milobc1@MarkModerson@UmpScorecards 1. Clearly not the AB before.
2. An AB with bases empty is general less impactful by definition. Expected impact takes no account for what actually happens after that pitch.
3. The existence of this error has nothing to do with the existence of the error in the OP.
@KidsGetHealthy_@UmpScorecards Those are both literally on the scorecard. The bottom one is #3 on the scorecard and the left one is unnumbered because it wasn't theoretically as impactful.
@greg06897@umpstrikezone 100%. How that supposed HBP stood is beyond my comprehension. Even if the ball hadn't clearly hit the bat first, he clearly offered at the pitch with his bunt attempt IMO. The only alternative was a strike.
@iamcogs@UmpScorecards Yeah, that's not how this works. It's expected runs, not actual. There's no way of knowing actual except in certain situations where the missed call would have resulted in a definitive outcome. Think missed ball 4 with the bases loaded, or missed strike 3 with 2 outs before runs.
@UmpScorecards You need to review your data source. He was way worse than this. Also, call 2 here likely resulted in 3 runs scoring for the Cubs in the first inning (if Tucker gets out as is statistically likely, Frelick's catch ends the inning). And the Brewers got a bunch of calls late.
