In that small a sample I'd imagine a few blowouts could really skew the results.
I suppose it happens every game, but I feel like it happens multiple times every game that I'm seeing very obvious balls called strikes, and when I go back and look at them in Gameday they're way out of the zone. Probably better than it was in the '80s I suppose, and maybe seeing that box on the live feed makes it seem more egregious.
Still, you see hitters work a count, foul off a bunch of pitches, and then get punched out on a ball four four inches outside the zone.

"We're not just going to stick a needle in someone to hydrate them all because they're not doing it themselves."
Zack Scott says most of the Mets' soft-tissue injuries are due to "compliance issues" with players.
Maybe?
I think it'd be really unusual for an 88-win team to be outscored over a 162 game season, though I lack the search-fu to confirm.
Eating disorder ?
the 2008 Super Bowl Champion New York Giants only outscored their regular-season opponents by 22 points, the weakest margin ever until the 2011 Super Bowl Champion New York Giants outscored their regular-season opponents by... well, they actually got outscored by those opponents by six points. both teams went 9-7, or the equivalent of a 91-71 baseball team getting outscored

Oh, just broke Harrisons fingers.
Gonna see more of Marte in the Playoffs.
the Mets made it clear in 1989 that they were cutting ties with Carter and Keith Hernandez, who both seemed to have run out of gas.
so the Shea Stadium crowd got a full-throated chance to say goodbye to both, which was nice.
crowd was screaming GARY GARY GARY as he took his last at-bat, and he stepped out for a moment to catch his breath. then he laced a double down the LF line. Mets smart enough to pinch-run for him, so he got to leave to a hero's welcome. maybe they should have carried him off, but it was great.
SNY special paralleled his waning days as a Met to his waning days on Earth (died of cancer at age 57). got a little dusty in here as they showed his family and former teammates.
(IRL, Hernandez WAS done - a feeble half-season with the Indians left. but Carter was a serviceable part-time C for 3 more years - Giants, Dodgers, and, appropriately, Expos.)
Now I feel really bad about that. I guess I only know the helmet, not the man!
...........
just see a highlight of a safety squeeze pulled off by the Royals with man on 3rd, 1 out vs NYY.
if you're a 25-year-old baseball fan, have you ever even seen that before?
maybe familiar in youth ball - but in the majors?
...
Vlad Jr.'s having a rough day. Bad first game with a costly error, struck out with a man on just now, and just smashed his bat and threw his batting helmet on the ground.
