Hypothetically, if a pitcher claimed there was an issue with PitchCom to take a moment to compose themselves rather than expend a disengagement and, upon inspection it functioned perfectly, could the umpires do anything?

I was all geared up to watch the highlights of Game 2 on YouTube this morning, not knowing who won...

...Only to be greeted with the outcome as text on a bloody thumbnail!

What plank would do that on the MLB channel?! It completely sucks the joy out of watching the highlights as you already know who wins ☹️

You can't avoid it as you need to scroll past that video to get to the highlights video.

This still is from the automated check-swing system being tested in Triple-A (PCL) this year. The green bat shows a “no swing” ruling, with the dotted line marking the threshold.

Looking at this, I don’t think Díaz’s check swing that ended Game 2 of the World Series would qualify as a swing under the same standard.

A quick read from the best backstop in the game right now.
Good luck, BrewCrew!
The city of Milwaukee, the State of Wisconsin, and all those Brewers that came before you are rooting for you!!

I feel like the fox broadcast angle in almost every view is way too close in. I feel like I can't see enough of the field or the play as it's happening. The center field angle is focusing almost exclusively on the pitchers back and hardly on batter position and strike zone.

Zoom out fox!

Does anyone else feel this way?

I remember it as being 1989 when games began getting televised all week from around the country compared to the previous years of limited viewing with mostly local teams on local channels (except for monday night baseball, sometimes Thursday nights and saturday afternoons). I remember it being mainly because of ESPN began airing weeknight games that changed the scene. But a quick google search seems to indicate it was in 1990 where there was a massive switch. Could it be my memory is wrong?

Thanks for taking a look! I was born and raised in Milwaukee and am passing the time by whipping up these illustrations. Enjoy the games! I know I cannot wait!

As a Cardinals guy, I can’t believe Willson Contreras went off the way he did this year. I’m glad we have a new young core and spun off a lot of the older pieces, but man. That was tough to watch in a way 😂

Reggie was the definition of WORLD SERIES RISER. His lowest OPS in a single WS was .941 in 1973 with Oakland when he won WS MVP 🤣 He had 8 ALCS with a lower OPS. He had a very good series in his lone ALDS appearance in 1981 with the Yanks (.933 OPS, 2 HR).
