    5:40. This one is a real head-scratcher, because there was literally no way for the umps to get the call correct. The correct call here is a dead-ball strike. Once the ball hits the player, it's a dead ball. The guy swung, so it's a dead ball strike. It doesn't matter if the ball was put into play. The ball is dead. But, it seems that there were only two paths: he either swung and the play is not reviewable (he's out) or he didn't swing and the play is reviewable (he's awarded 1B on HBP). Neither path gets you to the correct call. What a mess.

    There's a fundamental flaw in a system that says "You can only review it IF..." when the IF thing is where the disagreement is going to happen. That's like saying "You can only review out calls at the base if it's not even close... and we'll be the judges of whether it's close..."

      It can be called both a foul tip and a swing at the same time, happens all the time. So in his version of events, it was a foul tip that occurred during a swing, thus non-reviewable. If it was a foul tip during a non-swing, it would be reviewable. The weird part is him talking after the fact as if it hit the batter (which is the real thing that contradicts his foul tip call), but he could have just been talking hypothetically, I suppose.

    why does mlb have one of the most challenging types of calls nonrenvwable. The first base umpire is about 90 feet away, and when it's a close call it can be really difficult to call.

      Because there's no exact definition for when a check swing becomes an actual swing, other than, "if the batter makes an attempt to swing." It's not if their wrists break, or if they cross the plate, it's very literally a judgement call that's open to interpretation.
