I'm not against a universal zone. If the best ump in baseball, whoever that is, called those pitches strikes, no one would be saying anything

Every umpire makes mistakes but Angel Hernandez calling 15% of pitches incorrectly is about 50% worse than most umpires:
Especially when he's changing the criteria from inning to inning. That would piss me off too.
The fact that Schwarber has faced no additional punishment for this outburst (fines, suspensions, etc) tells me all I need to know about what MLB thinks about all of this.
And he makes a good point. If you can't get rid of him, at least get him out from behind the plate.
I bet he will. I don’t think they hand out punishments immediately. They need time to review it.
MLB allows challenges at every base except with balls and strikes. Needs to happen to expose guys like Angel even more.
Carlos Beltran played for the Yankees in 2015 (team accused of cheating) and part of 2016. (Team accused of cheating) He also played for the Astros in 2017. (Team busted for cheating) Coincidence?
Orioles are booting the ball all over the place this afternoon versus the Yanks Five errors and a couple other not great efforts plus 2 wild pitches. At least when home this year they won't give up as many homers with new high fences and longer distances.
Yes, basically. Not enough evidence to file charges. This is stupid. Bauer has been outspoken against Manfred and MLB before, this is Manfred pulling a power trip.

It's undoubtedly a tough one. Not enough to file criminal charges, and there's certainly texts/information floating out there about the person making the allegations that would appear she could have been setting him up. But then there's the pictures, which there's really just no explanation for. I could see how someone could try to take advantage of someone of Bauer's wealth/stature, but I just don't know how you're supposed to ignore those pictures...
