Uncaught third strike mechanic

[udbrky]

I'll re-watch some games sometimes, but it's rare.

 

When I lived out of market, I had MLB.TV, but it's hard to not catch the score.

 

I DVR'd the Cubs this year, but if I caught part/heard score, it's hard to watch.

 

I am going to get the BD set with the NLCS/WS wins though. I have a Michael Jordan box set with 4 complete games, and it's fun to watch now. But yeah, normal games, nope.

It's kind of a weird feeling to explain. Even if I don't know the final score or anything else about the game, it just doesn't have the same atmosphere if it's not live. Unless of course it's a classic.

I can watch if I don't know, and I'll post next time the WBC is on and I see it, but this was a total oh wow, this is on! moment.

Yeah..  Same way. I can watch if I only hear a little about it. Minute I know the final... I'm done. Only exceptions is if something amazing happens (ex. Toronto v. Texas series last year, Cubs clinch, etc.) or I know the guy working the game (ex. Billy Haze from Black and Blue Umpire Camp working his first CWS plate or Billy Van Rappahorst working the dish in the Supers last year and the CWS the year before.)

Beyond that... Nada

@Fittske24   as far as the U1 trying to get to 90 degrees on those U3K, is it to actually see the ball enter the glove?  I don't think I've seen a guy actually make it to the 90 yet, and instead you get what we see in those clips, a guy making calls on the move or having to stop before the 90 anyways.  Do I have the correct reasoning for wanting to get there?

[Fittske24]

Yes, it is to see ball in glove and to clear the throwing lane.
