Eh, presumably they have a binder.

Also presumably Davey can just stand down the hall and send a runner out.

Alex

11:01

Binders full of pitchers

"Yeah but...that was a pretty lengthy delay for *that*." -Buck responds to Rosenthal's explanation of the head sets

Ben Clemens

11:02

Joe Buck is announcing a perfect game.

Can anyone provide an example of a call that isn't a judgement call?

Ben Clemens

11:02

Something like a swinging strike caught in the glove or something.

11:03

But yeah, 'judgment call' is a dumb term.

'those little intangible rules like pass interference'

Good God John Smoltz read the room.

Meg Rowley

11:03

(which is reviewable now)

John Smoltz

11:04

I'm reading this room right now.

Will George Springer ever break out of this slump?

someone

11:05

Okay, the explanation of that the umps were actually doing has me even more confused. What the heck?

Meg Rowley

11:05

So umps can ask for a rules check

John

Stras 8? Seems like a batter by batter situation

bosoxforlife

11:05

Does Strasburg come out for the 8th?

Meg Rowley

11:05

to make sure they understand the rule correctly

11:06

they aren't reviewing the action per se, just the meaning of the rule itself -- now what do they do if they had it wrong? that I'm less clear on

He Hate Me

11:07

They should only be able to watch replays at actual speed, not in super slo-mo. They use it too much as a crutch.

Meg Rowley

11:07

but that doesn't address the issue of the folks at home seeing it in super slow-mo

Ben Clemens

11:08

It's underratedly weird how Hinch is using his low-lev guys in high-lev spots and vice versa.

Frustration

11:08

Great question to poll re Strasburg and the 8tj

Ben Clemens

11:08

Stras in the 8th??

Oh Yeah (85.7% | 239 votes)

Oh No (14.3% | 40 votes)

Total Votes: 279

I think Pressly is still aching, and he has for now turned into a low lev guy.

Ben Clemens

11:09

This could definitely be the case.

And they have better ways of checking that than I do.

Just so weird to see a bunch of really important at-bats taking place and Osuna (yeah yeah yeah) and Pressly not get involved.

Jared Diamond just tweeted that Joe Torre came on the field to talk to an umpire

Ben Clemens

11:09

Nobody tell Trea Turner.

I challenge your swinging strike judgement call:

Ben Clemens

11:10

Haha well, look, that highlight is amazing but.

Not really baseball.

Or like, not really a good exmaple. I think that was just game fixing.

James

11:11

Pressly isn't healthy. He's lost like 3 mph since his injury.

Ben Clemens

11:11

I mean, if they thought that, then why have him on the roster? It's very confusing.

Dribbles

11:11

What do they call Asdrubal around the clubhouse? I feel like it would be Droobie based on Sam's article from a while back

Ben Clemens

11:11

Cabby

100% cabby

Ace

Meg, what's the WE for the Nationals right now? I'd guess like 85%, but i "feel" like its about 50%
