So umpires are getting scrutinized and lambasted for missing pitches an 1/8” of an inch to an inch off the plate that really isn’t the plate as MLB only counts the back half of home plate. Imagine being told you are wrong by a computer that the pitch you called a strike because it caught the front half of the plate is actually a ball. Then getting crap from all the younger, nerdy generation because it’s so EZ to tell if a pitch is a strike at 100 mph or a ball from your fucking couch. Get a grip people. They won’t call the real zone because hitters would struggle more than they do now. Imagine that.

Ty Johnson is here. He struck out 2 in his first MLB inning. The fastball averaged 93.8 MPH, and he touched 95.4. Got 2 whiffs on the fastball, and 1 on the slider.

Roster move: The Reds have optioned Jose Franco to Triple-A and are calling up RHP Kyle Nicolas. Nicolas, acquired from Pittsburgh in the Tyler Callihan trade, has impressed at AAA Louisville.. giving up just one run over 4.2 innings with seven strikeouts and two walks. #Reds #CincinnatiReds #MLB #RedsCountry #RosterMove #Baseball #MLBNews
