Time for Duffman to make an impact.

edit:

Wong turns the DP as fast as I've seen it.

What is the rule book definition of a swing? Is it the wrists or the barrel of the bat?

3rd GDP in two games.

He has had a long month. No rest with Panik and Craw injured.

 

[LHG]

Not sure how that was a balk.

Not sure how that was a balk.

Maybe if he jumped 3 feet towards the plate instead, he would not have been called.

I hate when umps bad calls directly lead to scores.

There is actually no official ruling on a swing or not. It's open to interpretation from the umpire.

I personally see it as a swing if the batters wrists rotate. If they stay stiff, it's a check swing. If they break, its a swing. Some umpires judge it by how far the bat goes in front of the plate.

edit: so basically it's a crap-shoot.

Anyone see the play from San Diego last week? Harper chopped one to the 1st baseman, but the ump called a foul because the ball hit Harpers leg. Only prob was that the ball never hit his leg. A Slam was hit by the next batter.

Wonder how many RBI the second base umpire has on the season now

Why didn't the Pads challenge?

At least 1 today. What a stupid call.

I wasn't watching, I only saw extended highlights because of where I live. I think those types of fouls can't be reviewed.

Maybe they already used their challenge(?).

However, considering the way Broadway pitched, that runner would probably still come around to score, regardless of that call.
