Computer zone didn't have it as a strike, did it?

Statcast strike zone had it as a strike.

Eric Gregg wants in on the "worst call[s] of all time" conversation. This helped decide a pennant.

Statcast strike zone had it as a strike.

1. Looking at that, it's bordeline at best, with the illusion of it being even lower because it was a breaking ball.

2. I cross-checked that same pitch with Brooks Baseball and they also give the pitch right at the lowest reach of the box. However, they define the bottom of the strike zone as being 1.5 feet high. Now I'm 5'11" and just took out a tape measure and 18 inches comes up to about 1 cm below the bottom of my kneecap (while not wearing shoes). And Ben Zobrist is 6'3" and wearing cleats. I will let you do the math on that.

Cardinals are 1 game out of the Central and 4 1/2 out of wildcard.

I didn't see this coming about a month ago

The Angels have reached the second Wild Card spot somehow.

This is gonna be the year Trout gets his ring.
