Hmm...what a bunch of homers.

He most certainly DID ask for help and no that trigger wasn't "quick".

That is all.

Never mind,I will have to look when I can see the clip. My phone won't let me. Just says unknown media. Anybody know a fix?

I get that all the time.  I wait until I can get online.

Don't bother them with the facts. They were on a roll.

[Thunderheads]

It makes you wonder what the hell the announcers are looking at?!

[mstaylor]

The book clearly says you can't argue a swing appeal, if you do, ejection. 

[Umpire in Chief]

I don't have the volume on here at work, but why would you argue that one, F2 asked for an appeal it was given and the no-go was upheld. 

 

I can only imagine the "wrists broke", he went too far, the bat crossed the front of the plate arguments. 

[HeadHunterLA]

LOL, love it.  He asked for help and the 3B umpire toasted this one my friends.  That was a swing by any definition, right or wrong.  That being said dugout should know better than to keep harping.

[mstaylor]

Live, not a swing. Slow-mo from the side, maybe. It was not a quick trigger, it's automatic. 

[HeadHunterLA]

Just curious Chief why only maybe a swing on that one, looked pretty clear to me.

[carolinablue]

5th inning, up by 3 and a 1-0 count.   He must have had a dinner reservation somewhere.

[mstaylor]

Was he trying to swing at it, not really. Live and from third, not close.

[IABlue]

Clearly a swing.  Good EJ though.  Manager should have been arguing with U3, not the plate guy.  He deserved to get tossed just on general principle.
