After seeing a series of poor calls in Game 5 of the World Series, CC Sabathia said on ESPN that he's in favor of an electronic strike zone being implemented in the Major Leagues.

"Yeah, for sure," Sabathia said when asked if he supports automated-ball-strike system. "I mean, look at the reactions, [Ryan] Zimmerman not knowing if it's a ball or strike, [Gerrit] Cole on the last pitch not knowing if it's a ball or strike. We just want consistency and if you go to the electronic strike zone, we know if you throw it here, it's a strike, you throw it here, it's a ball. That's what we want every time out."

After the Washington Nationals lost Game 5 to the Houston Astros, Davey Martinez took the high road and opted not to criticize Lance Barksdale's performance.
