Oh, and let's assume for the sake of argument he was lined up 6 inches too deep.
Do you think those were the ONLY two snaps he was lined up 6 inches too deep?
It's just completely arbitrary even when they ARE applying it to Taylor only. That's what makes this impossible for Taylor. He can't truly know if/when they're going to throw a flag because as inconsistently as it's being applied throughout the league, it's being applied inconsistently even exclusively as to
him.
It's the Angel Hernandez strikezone argument - hitters/pitchers don't even get that mad about bad strike zones. They get mad about inconsistent and imprecise ones. A pitch that is called a ball for my pitcher should be called a ball for theirs. A pitch that gets called a strike for me in the 3rd inning should be called a strike for me in the 7th inning.
And if either of those pitches are actually a little in or out of the zone and technically 'wrong' - players rarely care. What they care about is expectation and consistency.
And the officials are just absolutely ****ing this up in the regard. It's brutally unfair and like I said, it's unlike anything I've ever seen in this game. Guys just don't get picked on like this. Think of how many grabby DBs we've seen in this game who STILL don't get a bullseye on their backs game in, game out.
This is just insane.
