4 inches?? 

You don't think the pitch f/x is accurate anyway. Not really worth a conversation about that with any level umpire. Like talking to a pitcher about what an error is.

Julien can't buy a hit even when he makes good contact

Could be a lot, to some.

[Aggies7]

I guess it’s ok if he starts the 5th as long as he has no leash

Spaceman was appropriate for Lee 

[RickOShea]

We're not going to be happy until we tinkle this game away.

[Linus]

I’ve always liked Garvers swing. So compact yet powerful. 

[Schmoeman5]

Good effort by Paddack. I'll admit I wasn't real optimistic about him vs the Mariners 

[Guest]

Come on…keep Paddack in!

I don't believe I've commented on "pitch f/x." I have said the top and bottom of the white square on TV is worthless. Side to side, who knows?

Yes, Alfonso of the Mets has a similar swing with immense power.

[Azviking101]

Yank SWR and Ober with limited injury history at 80 pitches

let Paddack who is coming off of major arm surgeries throw 100 pitches

make it make sense 

[Schmoeman5]

Right on time and exactly the response expected

I am not a fan of Rocco, but have zero problem with his decisions regarding Paddack tonight. Regardless the outcome.

 

[Linus]

Poor double play turn all the way around

the box/robot/pitch f/x..... whatever it is called, it is what is used to grade umpires. May as well have it call them if they are the grader.

Julien isn't a good 2nd baseman, but he did a nice job there to get one. 

[jimbo92107]

Whoa, Thielbar brings the 93 high cheese to snuff the inning!

Love those slow curves...

[Schmoeman5]

Thielbar! There's nights I ask why. And tonight he looks great. 

[RickOShea]

The big Hurt.........Frank thomas

the big unit..........Randy johnson

the box on tv is NOT used to grade umpires. 

Except maybe by the two college students who do the twitter thing, that I don't know.

But MLB is not grading umpires from the box on tv

Imagine Hargrove  with the new rules , time clock ,  

[Linus]

Three Finger Brown is great. With regards to the Wolves playoff run Slo Mo might be the best modern nickname. It’s perfect for him
