I have the MLB TV single team package down here in TX so I can catch every minute. Any one know if that comes with MILB TV as well? Can't be missing a single second of the SeaDogs this season.

Sutter Health Park left field, 330 feet center field, 403 feet right field, 325 feet
Park Factors (2021-22) 100 = league average Runs: 79 | Homers: 86 | Hits: 88 Pacific Coast League environment: 5.77 runs per team per game (second-highest of 11 full-season leagues)
What's the best article on how the AAA automated strike zone works? The perfect system would have to be a cube and adjust for every batter. I seriously doubt it's anything that sophisticated. Even an unchanging rectangle at either the front (further from the catcher) or back (closer to the catcher) of the plate would be far better than any human umpire. Also the rectangle currently used to illustrate good and bad calls; is that rectangle looking at the front or back of the plate? I ask because with some pitchers due to arm angle and the amount of horizontal break on a sweeper the must be pitches which miss in front but would clip the back corner. And with a hammer type curve there must be pitchers whose breaking ball passes through the front but might end up bouncing in front of the catcher.
In Triple-A, the strike zone will be 17-inches wide (the width of the plate) with a two-dimensional rectangle at the midpoint of the plate. The top and bottom of the strike zone will be set at 53.5% and 27% of the batter’s height. While the width and bottom of the zone are the same as last year, the top of the strike zone has increased by 2.5%.
Last year, the strike zone was deliberately lowered at the top to reduce the number of swings and misses on high fastballs. However, that adjustment inadvertently resulted in a significant rise in walks, outweighing any decrease in strikeouts.
In the International League, runs per game increased by .52 (4.98 to 5.50), while walks increased from 4.0 to 4.8 per nine innings and hits increased from 8.7 to 9.0 per nine innings. The strikeout rate remained flat at 9.2 per nine innings.

Don't give a crap about the results, the pitch data is wayyy better for Song than last year. Very nice to have him back to being interesting on the mound.

Walter's velo was down across the board. Slaten maxed out at 96.2 mph, last year he averaged 96.4 and was well above at times; his above average but not elite IVB was still good though. Hard to compare is sweeper and cutter data because the '23 minior league numbers were all a mishmash.

Nothing major sticks out from Crawford's first handful of pitches, maybe keep an out out to see if he's tightened his cutter up a bit, the metrics look in line with 2023.

In my mind it's more like this
Start with a middle ground though his arbitration years and guarantee them and set Bello up for like - so it's 5/20.5M - and then build a few free agent years how the Red Sox want them.
