dumbdumb Posted Monday at 10:53 AM Report Posted Monday at 10:53 AM So, how did the ABS work for the SEC tournament? the 19 inch plate part along with a bigger high to low area seem like good ideas. the 3 challenges seems much better to account for most umpires probably having scores each game being between 88 to 98. So if you challenge, overturn/confirm, overturn/confirm, overturn/ confirm that takes care of 6 pitches for each team and the 88-98 range for the 2-12 mistakes. midpoint of the plate is used for ABS. and of course you can pick umpires based on their plate scores only, every year. I would think the umpires working would change from year to year, and not be the exact same yearly. now some may get it 4 out of 5 years, but hey, they got the scores to go. and if ever implemented for the season, the best non con guys with the best plate scores get to be the ones that move up to conference. now it provides a system and can be implemented better than the MLB system with its good points and fallacies, and maybe MLB would use some of the college initiated uses of the ABS system. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/tap-hat-sec-unveils-abs-023745121.html?guccounter=1 Quote
MadMax Posted Monday at 04:22 PM Report Posted Monday at 04:22 PM My qualified opinion is that instead of implementing an elaborate ABS challenge & imaging system, there’s something far, far more fundamental that will change everything in the college game, and push it more towards the Minor Leagues, which is ultimately what all TPTB in MLB want. This one thing will change hitting, it’ll change pitching, it will emphasize fielding, it will make scoring more collaborative and competitive. No need for expensive, calibrated technology that is, or can feasibly be, implemented selectively. Guess what it is? Wood bats, or at least wood composite. #EndMetalAlready 3 Quote
