Angel Hernandez. Nuff said.

On some of the strikes thrown a lot of players won’t be happy when the entire strike zone is called by a computerized system. I get that they want better calls but it’s difficult when it’s some perception of location. So much goes into a strike or ball call. This includes a bunt attempt as well. I don’t know the answer but it doesn’t matter as no one will be happy with the end result when the call doesn’t go their way whether right or wrong. Not saying we should accept subpar calls behind the plate but it’s not an easy job (mind you they aren’t making millions like the players are to be there.)
