@@Will34117 This is completely incorrect. The batter's hands explicitly DO NOT count as part of the bat. If a pitch hits the batter's hands, it's a HBP (unless they say he swung); if the pitch hits the bat first, it's a foul ball. That's the whole reason there was an issue with this call.

It can be called both a foul tip and a swing at the same time, happens all the time. So in his version of events, it was a foul tip that occurred during a swing, thus non-reviewable. If it was a foul tip during a non-swing, it would be reviewable. The weird part is him talking after the fact as if it hit the batter (which is the real thing that contradicts his foul tip call), but he could have just been talking hypothetically, I suppose.

5:40. This one is a real head-scratcher, because there was literally no way for the umps to get the call correct. The correct call here is a dead-ball strike. Once the ball hits the player, it's a dead ball. The guy swung, so it's a dead ball strike. It doesn't matter if the ball was put into play. The ball is dead. But, it seems that there were only two paths: he either swung and the play is not reviewable (he's out) or he didn't swing and the play is reviewable (he's awarded 1B on HBP). Neither path gets you to the correct call. What a mess.

There's a fundamental flaw in a system that says "You can only review it IF..." when the IF thing is where the disagreement is going to happen. That's like saying "You can only review out calls at the base if it's not even close... and we'll be the judges of whether it's close..."

why does mlb have one of the most challenging types of calls nonrenvwable. The first base umpire is about 90 feet away, and when it's a close call it can be really difficult to call. I don't blame the umpires for missed calls of this type sometimes, but rather the replay system and the inability to overturn a check swing call.

Exactly. Not like reviewing a foul call in basketball or pass interference in football.

I was furious watching the Tork call live. I know not to expect anything less from Angel Hernandez but it still is just so frustrating every single time. He has to have dirt on multiple people or something because there’s zero reason for him to keep his job.

@teejay3272 Ай бұрын

So what was the call there bro. Did Torkelson get hit? Say yes and you've jumped the tracks.

@nathanstruble2177 Ай бұрын

He was hit, if you think that's "jumped the tracks" you're welcome to be wrong

@Edgepotts01 Ай бұрын

@@teejay3272I’m confused what your point is. Whether or not it hit torks hand (which I personally believe it did) pales in comparison to how obvious it is that (A.) it did not hit the bat whatsoever and (B.) that Tork did not swing in the fuckin SLIGHTEST

Was at the M's game. Thanks for explaining why that call was overturned.

@billofbong Ай бұрын

Me too, that was some of the loudest booing I’d heard at a game lol. Literally everyone was yelling “HE SWUNG”

@ChristopherHalbersma Ай бұрын

I think also for the second one. The ball is "dead" when it hits a player so the "swing" stops as soon as it hits his hand.

The Cleveland batter swung, but the ball hit him before the bat went around. He was in the motion of swinging, but the bat had not gone forward.

Angel Hernandez never disappoints when it comes to disappointment.

I was watching highlights of bad Hernandez calls last night and then boom.. another one today brought to us by the great JomBoy. Gotta love it! Thank you sir

I was waiting for you to analyze this. I dread the day my Brewers have Angel umping.

@kbrewers Ай бұрын

never in my life do i recall remembering any ref, official, or umpires name for sports that i actually pay attention to let alone baseball which is rare that i catch a game. To know the name by heart of a particular umpire in a world where i dont know any of them is a problem. I cant believe he still has this job.

@KissellMissile Ай бұрын

As a small counterpoint, in rugby (union) everyone knows the names of the best refs. This is partly because they are micced up for transparency, so people know that they do a great job and have good personalities for the jobs.

@rakninja Ай бұрын

i know the names of a bunch of pro wrestling refs, but they are just characters in a show and their actions and involvements are all scripted. i also know a bunch of the late 90's through 2010's fight refs, like in UFC or big boxing events. for boxing/ fight refs, i actually know most of them for /good/ calls they made that might have seemed bad right in the moment.

I kind of think MLB's best option is to make a Cuban the commissioner just for a day to fire Hernandez so he can't sue for racism.

@zacharyfett2491 Ай бұрын

Angel Hernandez and baseball don’t mix. He should’ve been a politician.

@user-gn2sd2ve7k Ай бұрын

I was telling someone about the time when Steve McMichael was singing the stretch at a Cubs game and he called out the umpire for a bad call in the inning before. This was like 20 years ago. That umpire was Angel Hernandez. He has been awful for way too long.

@tnwhiskey68 Ай бұрын

Shearly a check swing or not call shouldn't be reviewed but a lead ump in the field should always have the ability to Quantum Leap a call! Put right what once went wrong!

@TheGreatChrisB Ай бұрын

You think the other umps hate dealing with Angel too? Like the other ump has to argue with the coach because Angel thought it was a swing, even though no one else in the universe agrees. Like they're probably just standing there talking about Angel behind his back pretending to be talking about the call.

When the ABS system is implemented, many players will be used to the new adaptation. All Triple-A teams in 2023 adapted the electronic strike zone, with half of the league using the challenge system and the other half using it for every pitch. Commish Manfred implied the league would adopt the challenge system.
