The past precident, as this has happened before in the 1930s , 40s and 50s, is that if the opposing team or officials notice a chipped or broken bat, they must object BEFORE the at-bat, not after. If they admit that they saw it before he came up, they can’t challenge after. This is not a rule but the precident set in earlier games that were appealed. This is what the MLB officials ruled in the prior instances. The precident is clear, they should make it a rule. This would resolve the confusion as it is becoming an issue again, apparently.

Contact with the chipped part could theoretically cause an unusual reaction on the baseball in regards to a usual reaction being caused by a non-chipped bat. Just an opinion, I still think the slam stands.

[@OffWalrusCargo]

@@Top10WizardReviews correct if the ball hit the chipped part then he would have been called out but since it hit the barrel the umps went "its broken let's just get it out of the game"

[@smittyvidz25fire84]

I also feel like the way it was broke if Interfered with the way the ball was hit it would hurt batter more then helped him

[@snorfietsers4006]

@@smittyvidz25fire84 for sure, and since the rule states the unusual bat must "improve" the batter's chances, its correct to let this grand slam stand. All around a really interesting situation lol

Can’t even be mad at the umps if your a Cardinals fan. They had no clue. And did a good job handling a first time issue like this. And good for Nick C for giving that kid the bat. All around a good call and helpful breakdown.

Jomboy makes baseball much more interesting.

[@noads6566]

Same here. Never really followed baseball, but Jomboy's interesting and funny commentary of odd happenings and obscure rules is just great. His knowledge of the game + his way of simplifying it make it interesting to both fans and people like us. ESPN lost its way a long time ago and most of its commentators are unwatchable, but I can watch Jomboy highlights all day.

The other day my son watched his first baseball game with interest. He was very curious about the field and asked if the grass grows like that, I told him that they cut the shape out, they’ll take out a machine and chalk the baselines. And he saw the crew smoothing out the dirt and he asked about that; so I told him they do maintenance on the field during and outside of games. I told him they use manure to take care of the grass, he asked what manure was and I replied “HORSE SHIT!!” Memories 😊

Grounds crew for a major league ball club is a great position. Keep him interested and you will have both free lawn care for life, as well as your kid having a good career

Castellanos has used that same bat with a crack in it for about a week now and even hit a HR with it in the first inning and they never said anything about it then

[@Cincinnati-Outlaws]

He broke this one in Miami

[@catman-du8927]

It's possible no one noticed at the time and/or realized there was a rule about it

[@emanuelmartinez7267]

Umps probably noticed it but didn't think it was advantageous. No point in making a big deal out of it unless a formal complaint is made. Also baseball players are very superstitious so my guess is he liked the feel of the bat and had some success with it so he wanted to keep using it

[@Altemeous]

2nd home run in consecutive at-bats is probably a decent reason to do a check then, particularly if this chipped, imperfect bat has followed him for a week.

Classy move by Castellano, that kid will have a lifelong memory and a souvenir to boot. It reminds me of an incident at a Laker game, when Rick Fox dove after a ball that was heading out of bounds and wiped out a whole bunch of spectators in the front row, including a little boy. The kid was scared and crying. Rick tried to cheer him up, but had to rejoin the game. When the game ended, Rick grabbed the game ball, made a beeline to the kid and gave him the ball. Picked him up, posed for photos, etc. Love it!
