ABS Replay Review: Buffer Zones and Strategy w/ Jayson Stark, Oyster Analytics

We kick off the baseball season, with Mark Simon talking about all things robo-ump.First, Jayson Stark joins us to explain the "buffer zone" and the imperfections of the new system. He wrote an article about this last month and we're now seeing what he wrote about play out in front of us.Then we're joined by Maxfield Lane and Owen Riley of Oyster Analytics. They're former college baseball players with a statistical expertise who have mapped out when it's best to challenge and when it's best to hold back, and they have an interactive tool that you can use to play along with batters, pitchers, catchers, and umpires.Thanks as always for listening.
