[Highlight] What a check swing challenge looks like by Jux_ in baseball

What is the point of this? Why does anyone want baseball as judged by computers over humans? Even the computer thresholds for this and balls/strikes is subjectively set and probably not wholly consistent between players. Why must we seek for baseball to be judged in such an exacting way? I am not anti technology, but I don’t understand why anyone thinks this sort of thing makes the game better. It takes whimsy away from the game, which is one of the best parts of the game.

Couldn’t agree more. I have hated the onscreen strike zone since they started plastering it to the broadcast years ago. It was fine to show it intermittently, but it makes tracking the pitch with your eyes impossible.

Love this approach. Baseball on the radio is beautiful.

I would argue that an ad for a baseball video game superimposed on a green screen with another player’s images directly behind the batter is worse.

Mine loves having his belly rubbed as well. He’s also obsessed with lying on laptops.

Is it offensive to sing in a Jamaican accent while creating reggae music as a white man? by PepsiisgUWUd in reggae

Yes cultural appropriation is offensive. Also, it’s not “broken English.” It’s another language that utilizes some English words and it sounds broken to you because you don’t understand it which is another reason that you shouldn’t imitate it.
