    To be fair, Pagan had the ball in short left field around the time Gennett was passing the shortstop position. Just a horrible send.

    He was kind of the opposite. He just didn't last long as a top closer.

    I don't think anybody said it was most of last year, but he did save 17 games in 2015. Holland missed a good bit of time before he was finally shut down completely.

    Yep. Annoying. Preferred when they'd bring it in pn questionable calls. But it doesn't seem all that accurate anyway

    I ran the Pitchf/x system for a minor league team to make some extra cash several years ago. It's accurate. Why is ESPN's box not accurate?

    You agreeing it's not accurate?Sure as hell doesn't pass the eye test. And I have heard that the past couple of years from numrous friends and co workers. And I don't understand either.

    Texas finishes with 1 hit, 3 runs, win.

    No, I understand that. But where I see the ball go and where the K Zone tells me it went are usually a fair amount off. I also know it depends on where the pitch is crossing the plate but it has seemed off to me for a while now.

    Does the camera angle affect this, maybe?

    Wondered the same thing. That's probably the best answer.

    But now I'm watching Nats on one and Rays on another and Fox Trax seems to be on the money
