I just confirmed that both the MLB website and the broadcasters' pitch trackers come from the same raw data. At the start of the 5th, here, both of them started showing the pitches about two feet higher than where they were actually located. After a couple of at-bats with such a preposterous pitch track, the Cubs feed just stopped displaying it. The pitch locations on the MLB Gameday page were still showing about two feet higher than where they really were throughout the rest of the inning, though.
For anyone stuck watching the Pittsburgh broadcast, do they have a pitch tracker? If so, is it way off, too?
edit: It suddenly occurred to me that, what with this Extra Innings package, I could check the Pirates broadcast. If they usually show a pitch tracker, they're not doing so now. And the online pitch tracker is still way off. It's just fine in-and-out, but like I said, consistently about two feet or so high; a ball that was called a strike at the top of the zone showed up as being above the batter's head. Curious...
