should be a verbal and signal for a challenge.
This doesn’t feel like he was initiating a challenge to me.
Also I think this illustrates a need for more explicit rules around initiating the challenge.
Should be 3 taps on the crown of the helmet or a verbal “challenge” call or something else that can’t be mistaken for another action or adjusting equipment
challenge should be a jerk off and release motion directly at the ump
They should change the challenge signal to something the players do inadvertently less often.
Make it grabbing their groins.
I’d probably be upset about this if I thought the next batter would have done anything
Challenge should be like what they do in tennis. Finger up in the air. Edwin Diaz might set a record for challenges lost
If Gausman technically balked Rice technically challenged. Looking forward to the Jomboy breakdown
yeah the ump is just being petty. They need to change the signal.
Umps still gonna find a way to get in the way of the game
Team has become stupid as hell this past week. Mid season form already
I’m probably in the minority but between the bat toss and the move to the helmet it definitely did look like a challenge…
I can’t help but think the challenge signal should be a gesture that maybe someone wouldn’t do by accident.
I think Rice clearly thinks that’s a walk and challenged. He wouldn’t have thrown his bat and go to take off his gloves if he knew it was a strike
Idk. I can see how this looks like a challenge. it’s a bad signal lol
Three rapid pelvic thrusts should be the signal.
Ben rice is having a fun first month with ABS lol
should be a double tape of the helmet
How often does a guy toss his bat to the dugout and start taking off his gloves when he’s called striked out, pretty obvious combined with the hat tap he thought he was walked and wanted a challenge
Why isn’t the signal pointing up to sky ? Ton of guys touch their helmet out of habit
Umps fighting back any way they can.
They need to replay whether he actually touched his helmet or not. Looked like he checked his swing in helmet touching terms
NGL this looks like he challenged, immediately regretted it since maybe he’s not supposed to/allowed to from his coaches to challenge here? I’m on the side that players shouldn’t be allowed to “say sike” here, but also prob need to change the challenge signal to something that happens less often inadvertently
Double tapping their shoulder?
That wasn’t three pumps
Bubba Chandler just won a challenge he said was inadvertent initiated by adjusting his cap.
Make them tap their helmet and rub their belly at the same time
Isn’t the rule that it has to be the first movement you make?
They should make it if the batter touches the ear like managers do on replays as the universal abs challenge signal
I thought the challenge had to be the first move? So tossing the bat should have negated being able to challenge.
New signal. Thoughts?
every player gonna get a red challenge flag like nfl coaches… or maybe something like red for one team, yellow for another
Found a way to show up the players
I thought a challenged only happened if a player touch his hat BEFORE he made any other motion, like tossing the bat.
Episode V: the Umpire Strikes back.
Well that’s the rule.
Maybe change it to a hand on the helmet but you leave it there?
Umps are gonna find a way to fuck things up no matter what
