Dead Ball Strike, Check Swing Appeal Example

[Velho]

Alan Porter with great mechanics to avoid confusion and debate. And it seems to have worked!

h/t @MadMax and kudos to Alan Porter (one of my favorites)

Doing mostly yutes, I do this particularly on the square to bunt and they get plunked since I'm easily blocked out (especially when they open up instead of closing off to the pitch). BU ha a great view if they attempted at the ball (sometimes in self defense to ward it off). I callously come up with "did they go?" as the kid is crying. Removes ambiguity and a delayed decision. Gives a nice window to tell the appraise manager Out of HBP while the batter is being tended too. Only the most pathological coach is going to fight with me as the kid is on the ground crying.

You mean, like, ALL of them?

Another one from today. Visconti did the same: appealed (off camera) before sending the Challenge to New York. Which explains why Murphy never came out to PU (I was shocked he didn't come out until I heard that part).

Bonus: Announcers have been pretty darn good in all the clips I've pulled today.

Kudus yes, but hold your water.
