Not really the point of the video, but I'm 100% behind the Umpire's response when Gallo was arguing strike 3. "I heard you, now walk away" acknowledges the player's disagreement while giving him a fair warning to sit down before he gets tossed. Could have easily thrown him out on the spot, and I can think of several umpires who would have. And, kudos to Ump, he got the right call on two close outside corner pitches.

[@engell3707]

Yup. Actually Alfonso Marques is one of the few good umps out there. He was also cool not to throw him out.

[@luckyluciano6552]

I thought he tossed him when he threw the ball to the mound, but he didn’t😂 He definitely gave him a longer rope when he was arguing that call.

[@SouL1Jacker]

I don't understand this culture of disagreement with umpires. You do this in cricket; you get suspended and fined. I'm not American though and didn't grow up with baseball.

[@luckyluciano6552]

@@SouL1Jacker I think you just got it. If baseball really cracked down on it like you described with cricket, guys wouldn’t do it. Players/managers/umpires can get fined and suspended if their conduct is over the top, though.

[@SuperAqua9]

@@SouL1Jacker I don't really know cricket well, but there is nothing similar to balls and strikes yes? Calling balls/strikes is a hard thing to do accurately and everyone knows this. Also there are lots of umpires well known for being bad at it. I think this leads to more disagreements in baseball, whereas in cricket I'm assuming there aren't nearly as many calls by umpires that can so easily be wrong.

[@pierrelevasseur2701]

The more you follow baseball, like me for 40+ years, the more you understand. It also helps if your local broadcasters do the same as they should do to educate their audience. I was lucky enough I guess to have good broadcasters that explained this stuff at times. It rubs off on you. I remember many years ago at a minor league game, talking with a fan cheering the other team, I predicted exactly the kind of pitch and location that was going to be thrown, outside low and away, the hitter (on my team) will swing and miss for strike three. The guy must have thought who the heck is this Canadian who knows so much about baseball. To be fair, I was kind of lucky with that prediction but knowing the hitter, and the pitcher probably did too, I just thought, what would I throw if I was him?

[@flagtheoffense]

[@seantuohy3100]

Two pieces of technology used in Australian cricket are an IR camera known as hotspot that shows the slight warming as a ball hits the bat or glove and an audio feed known as snicko (mounted at stump level, about a metre from the bat), that gives a really sensitive reading of any noise as the ball passes the bat. Used for years, virtually faultless. Maybe MLB should watch one of your cricket breakdowns. One of the cool things about hotspot is the way it shows the exact spot on the bat for a pure clean hit

Have the MLB suits ever watched a cricket game? They use infrared heat imaging science stuff to determine if the ball grazed a wicket, bat, or batsman on to close to tell situations. It sure would come in handy for foul tips, hit batter, or did the tag miss or not situations.

[@harrysunder8019]

Definitely would help.

Hotspot (the infrared camera system) has also been augmented by RTS which uses directional microphones synced to the video feed to determine if there is a sound as the ball passes the bat. Together they're pretty good at getting the right decision.

However, a missed 3-2 count pitch is the most frustrating thing for a hitter at any level. It is the difference between a walk and a strikeout. For an amateur hitter, just keep playing. For a professional hitter a missed call is literally taking money out of their pocket in their next contract. Edit: It also wasn't over the plate. That pitch was a perfect pitch that barely caught the black. It caught the EDGE of the plate. A pitch over the plate is on the white.

[@RustCole01]

Unfortunately, cameras don't really do that justice. You really can't appreciate just how much a ball breaks or moves unless you are in the batters box. A knuckleball does not seem like anything other than a slow pitch from a standard camera angle. But if you are at bat, it looks like someone is using a joystick to control the ball. A curveball or sinker will be easier to see, but it is really hard to simulate what the hitter sees. Especially when a pitch looks like it is headed straight for your shoulder and suddenly yanks right over the middle of the plate. It really is amazing.

[@nicknobel]

I know this isn't the main focus of the video, but I like the part when Darvish comes over to apologize for something that wasn't his fault and the ump pats him on the shoulder and waves it off as no big deal, because it wasn't. It's something any decent person on both sides would do but I like these little moments of sportsmanship when players and umps let their better selves take precedent in the heat of the moment.

[@willsee7452]

What does Jomboy mean when he says he “crossed him up”? 1:50

[@abtwopoint0]

he meant the catcher was expecting low/mid inside and got mid/high outside so he crossed up the catcher

[@justadudeintheworldman.120]

Sometimes there is miscommunication between the catchers signs and the pitcher reading the signs. So catcher drops signs for a curveball and pitcher may accidentally misread and throw a fastball, and there can be a 20-30mph difference between the two pitches and placement is different. So catcher gets crossed up, as in cross signals and possibly loses the ball behind him causing a runner to advance onto the next base. PitchCom is used a lot now which is a switch on the catchers knee or wrist typically that sends signals to the inside of a pitchers hat that lets him know the pitch. I assume it’s a vibration or it may be audio, im not sure. This eliminates the error in sign reading and also protects from the other team stealing signs. Hope this helps, stick with baseball it’s a great game and much strategy in it

[@unclewisey8632]

So confused at 2:51. Bottom right says the count is 1-2. Jomboy says "1 and 2 is the count, the next pitch...that was like a cutter... away... ball." So the count should now be 2-2. But the the graphic on the bottom right never updates. It continues to say 1-2 all the way through the next pitch where the batter swings and appears to miss. So that should be strike 3 and batter out. But no he's still up there. Now maybe he fouled and I'm just missing it. But in any case, the weird thing is that whatever happened there, the count at the bottom right gets updated to 2-2. But this should have happened the previous pitch.

I like the added two pitches - wonder if that would ever happen with an automated strike zone system? Also - good ex here where Gallo thinks it’s a ball on strike 3 and the zone shows a strike. These aren’t usually highlighted like the reverse but serves as a reminder that hitters don’t have perfect strike zone recognition either and an automated zone isn’t automatically benefitting them. It’ll likely involve more strategy to get hitters to shift their perceived zone like we saw here.

“We’re not gonna be fighting later in this at bat…” Master of foreshadowing.
