The pitch was a slider and miller’s arm motion showed he intended it to sink. Many pundits complain it was a missed call. I dunno. The pitch was clearly above the knees at some point and clearly below when the catcher caught it. Where the bottom fell out we can’t tell. The DR was scoring a lot of runs, but they couldn’t handle our pitching.

Go USA!
That pitch was a strike most of the night. It stinks it ended the game, but it’s not that outrageous of a call.
No it was not. It's not like K-zone glitched or something. It was a great pitch however and it's understandable the Ump missed it.
I would say it just missed the zone, but as a batter in that situation you just don’t let blue control the outcome. You have to swing and put the ball in play.
Can anyone here play this game?
This popped into my head immediately
Definitely not a strike. As a batter, If the ump was calling it lose the entire game you have to swing and fight it off. However, I would have been pissed too if I was that batter. Bad call.
@squeakyclean The ump did look a little bit like Enrico Pallazzo

This. Seemed like a ball, but the first thing you learn hitting is don't take a called third strike.
Not that I know anything about baseball as a 5'1", 320 lbs. stump.
Not sure it missed the zone. The batter shoulda swung. But with that amount of sink, likely a swing and miss. I think the batter was thinking fast ball.
Probably right.
While I thoroughly loathe the ABS Challenge System coming on-line, my guess is that we’ll soon see a full-time system in place within 2-3 years, at the MLB level. It’s inevitable. If I were King, however, replays, ABS and any other non-human system would be dumped in the trash bin of history.
My preference would be a similar system in place at the NBA and collegiate level so palming/carrying and traveling would be called properly. At least until refs start calling it as per the rule book.

I simply assumed, that when Cuban put that 3d imaging video in assembly, that total AI reffing was already a conclusion.
