But I do agree with the premise that coming onto the field to argue a check swing, which is arguing balls and strikes is an auto-dump.stratbaseballmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886493303690478776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-7728055449683695722011-07-10T21:01:43.364-07:002011-07-10T21:01:43.364-07:00This ruling has been challenged.

There is no evidence to overturn the call. There are no angles provided by either broadcast to overturn the call and suggest the call is incorrect. <br /><br />Denied.Jeremy Dirckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377576945075992373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-12767721420060792062011-07-10T20:33:54.514-07:002011-07-10T20:33:54.514-07:00I'm glad the rule now is that if you come onto...I'm glad the rule now is that if you come onto the field to argue a checked swing, you get the heave ho. At any level of baseball, this is one of the most difficult calls umpires are asked to make. Even in super slow motion, it's often not obvious what is and is not a swing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-9674708576957971632011-07-10T00:50:08.666-07:002011-07-10T00:50:08.666-07:00This ruling has been challenged and is under revie...This ruling has been challenged and is under review.Jeremy Dirckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377576945075992373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-32561626207854225852011-07-10T00:13:31.450-07:002011-07-10T00:13:31.450-07:00I challenge, this is a swing.I challenge, this is a swing.stratbaseballmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886493303690478776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-72425797440458738862011-07-09T22:56:22.445-07:002011-07-09T22:56:22.445-07:00check swings are all angles.

So that's why he came to argue so vehemently. But then when the replay is shown, the umpire will most likely be correct every time, thus ejections will always happen on a play where the manager with his own eyes see's a play one way, because of his angle. Not really confusing at all, IF you know about umpiring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-87191750856679150852011-07-09T22:19:34.094-07:002011-07-09T22:19:34.094-07:00I hate these calls.. but different umpires have di...I hate these calls.. but different umpires have different opinions on what a swing is.... This could be a long discussion but I am always confused that almost every check swing that results in an ejection is ruled correct. We have seen less of a swing ruled a strike and then called correct. This is a swing every day of the week IMO and should be ruled that way.tmacnoreply@blogger.com
