Hoover used to be a real tough place to hit a HR. Bat changes a little, ball changes a little, fences have come in much like they have at the Dude. I remember when the whole SEC tourney would yield only about 3-4 HRs at the Met. Only the big HR hitters were lucky to get one out. Yesterday, the first 8 teams hit 14 HRs........in one day! I have never seen HRs fly out of this ballpark like this.

I just looked back at MSU 2013 stats. We hit THIRTY home runs with 16 of them by Hunter Renfroe and played in the finals of the CWS. The game has really changed.

Nice 10 run win. We definitely wanted to make sure we didn't lose that one. Pitched our best 2 pitcher in TV and Davis.

I’d like to see Ryno get some innings in against an elite lineup like Georgia to get ready for the regional.
I suspect that’s the plan. If we pitched Tico vs Missouri just to pitch Billingsley or Sweeney vs Georgia I’m going to be a little pissed.

Still need him for balks, catcher interference, swinging strike calls, etc. Plus time-wise for every pitch with the ABS would slow the game down.

The hope is that umps across the board will get better because they can be challenged. This also helps everyone know the zone and it stays more consistent.
Balks can be called by any umpire in the infield.

Check swings should be able to be called by ABS as well, it always gets appealed to the appropriate foul line umpire anyway.

Catcher interference? Meh….line umps can likely judge that too.

I don’t think it would slow the game at all. You can have the ball / strike call broadcast in realtime over the PA, put on the scoreboard, signaled by another ump with an earpiece, etc. You already have at least 15 secs or so between every pitch with hitters stepping out / back-in, etc.
