Posted September 24, 200915 yr Did anyone else catch that ??? When he was arguing in the 9th after he got ejected, he accidently spit on the umpire, and you can tell by the umpires lips, he said "You want to spit on me ??, You want to spit on me ??" hahahhha, I just thought it was pretty funny. Good job though Fredi ... love the fire in you !
September 24, 200915 yr Yeah i caught that, i couldn't stop laughing, the f***ing ump deserved it though.
September 24, 200915 yr The ump blew the call on Baker but the ones on Howard and Hanley were correct. It's a shame Rich had become whiner ala Tommy. He used to be honest.
September 24, 200915 yr I don't know what that umpire was thinking. I think the only reason he called it a strike was because he called the previous pitch a ball (which looked like a strike). Anyway, umpires are not supposed to do that.
September 24, 200915 yr The ump blew the call on Baker but the ones on Howard and Hanley were correct. It's a shame Rich had become whiner ala Tommy. He used to be honest. I think what Rich meant to say was that if the pithces to Howard and Hanley were a ball, then this pitch should have definitely been a ball because it was WORSE.

September 24, 200915 yr i saw that fred was fireup that what got team fireup A little to late, he should have done that a long time ago.

I don't know what they were thinking but by the time the ump blew the pitch to Baker they had already being going off for two hours about the pitch to Howard and the ump got that pitch right. They then started going off about pitch 4 to Hanley and the ump got that one right too.
September 24, 200915 yr curious, strikes are at the letters and at the knees right?---- Has a team ever thought about moving the letters slightly lower down on the chest to get a smaller strike zone?
September 24, 200915 yr If the pitch to Hanley was a strike, then Paul Bako framed it, horribly. B/c it definitely looked f***ing low.
September 24, 200915 yr How come on Gameday there is a noticeable difference in the size (height) of the strikezones between the 2 players, considering Hanley is 6"3 and Howard is 6"4. The Hanley strikezone appears to be quite a big bigger.
September 24, 200915 yr Author How come on Gameday there is a noticeable difference in the size (height) of the strikezones between the 2 players, considering Hanley is 6"3 and Howard is 6"4. The Hanley strikezone appears to be quite a big bigger. There is no difference. You can just see the consistency of RVH's pitches to Howard compared to Lidge's pitches to Hanley, which is why I keep saying that pitch to Howard should have been a strike.
September 24, 200915 yr curious, strikes are at the letters and at the knees right?---- Has a team ever thought about moving the letters slightly lower down on the chest to get a smaller strike zone? "at the letters" is more of an expression than the actual wording of the rule. The top of the strike zone is a horizontal line at the midpoint between the top of the batter's shoulders and the top of the uniform pants. I've also heard "base of the armpit" as the top of the strike zone.
September 25, 200915 yr The pictures of the two batters probably is showing the strike zone when in their stance. Thanks for clearing that up song in the air.
September 25, 200915 yr You are aware that Gameday is not 100% accurate? It's a judgemental thing... it's not evidence of what was a strike and what was a ball.
September 25, 200915 yr You are aware that Gameday is not 100% accurate? It's a judgemental thing... it's not evidence of what was a strike and what was a ball. Pretty sure it's based on PitchFX.

PitchFX does not measure a players strike zone. Nothing will ever measure a players strike zone. And while it may be accurate, it's not 100% accurate. It will never be 100% accurate. Nothing is ever perfect.
September 25, 200915 yr i saw that fred was fireup that what got team fireup And for the first time Fredi acted like the Manager the Marlins need. One can only hope he'll build off of this but considering the post game comments, I doubt it.

Hanley was right and so were Rich and Tommy.
September 25, 200915 yr i saw that fred was fireup that what got team fireup A little to late, he should have done that a long time ago. Agreed.

Nothing is ever perfect. Pitch FX does measure each batter's strike zone. http://www.tangotiger.net/wiki/index.php?title=PITCHf/x PITCHf/x is a pitch tracking system developed by Sportvision. It was introduced in Major League Baseball during the 2006 playoffs. It uses two cameras mounted high behind home plate and behind first base to record the position of the baseball during its flight from the pitcher’s mound to home plate. A third camera located in center field is used to track each batter's strike zone [1]. The cameras record the position of each pitch 60 times per second, and software is used to calculate various parameters describing the trajectory of each pitch. The PITCHf/x data is used in MLB's Enhanced Gameday application to show the path, location, speed, and break of each pitch. It is also available for use by TV broadcasts. In addition, MLB has made the data freely available for downloading and research [2].
