It hasn't come up, because his ERA is still rapidly approaching one, but the motion to rename the black part of home plate the Ryan Franklin Zone has begun to run out of steam—since the all-star break he's struck out seven and walked seven in eighteen innings, and in August (where he's not allowed a run in eleven innings) those numbers are four and six. His BB/9 for the season, 2.3, is coming up on twice as high as it was in his first season with the Cardinals. His BABiP is .211.
