Nice night for Sosa.
As pointed out by @Warehouse "Sosa now has a 106 wRC+, which ranks 12th out of the 28 teenaged Carolina Leaguers with at least 80 PAs. His .128 ISO ranks 10th and his 12.7% swinging strike percentage ranks 12th."
Personally, I'm for full robo umps, I know some people like the "human element" they bring to the game and was trying to appeal to the "purists". I'm not convinced that it's a great thing that kids in the MiL are learning the true strike zone as defined by the robots, then they come up here and a ball in the MiL is now a strike every 2nd day in the ML.
Strowd was the name I gave Bob Haynie (105.7) when he asked for some potential bullpen help on the farm. Good to see him get the promotion. I think he's got a chance to help this year.
