If you take a step back and think about this episode....the research that went into it is next level. These are not stats that can be compiled from BBRef. This was a manual research episode.
A delayed call is a taught mechanic. If it’s ball you stayed crouched and just say “ball” if it is a strike you stand fully erect and say strike loud enough for the ball park to hear
I appreciate the inclusion of Dutch Rennert’s signature call in this ep. He’s one of the few that I remember for his entertaining calls and not because he was terrible.
When watching the 2018 WCG between the Yankees and A’s, Severino got a big strikeout to end the inning, and I made a punch out motion too close to my face and gave myself a bloody nose with my elbow
I love umps who do strike 3 calls. The ump who did Mets padres game 1 didn’t have one and It was so fucking annoying being at the game not knowing what he called
As a former umpire (my knees gave out) this was a fun watch. I absolutely would practice in the off season! Kinda miss the older generations with their really unique Ks - and their really unique strike zones too
Woah is Carpenter really yelling at the ump for calling a strike on a pitch exactly down the middle of the plate in the zone? He's losing his mind over a curveball that was DEFINITELY a strike
Heard of HB umpires on Strike-3 calls who do a full 360 spin and then create two simultaneous signals - the Strike 3 symbol with RH and the "out" signal in the LH at the same time and of course call it? It does happen.
I like the combo, immediate upper cut and yell then the step back lateral punch. I don't recall which umpire does that but I tried to replicate it when I was younger just for fun.
Who was the ump that had a strike 3 call that looked like he was pulling laundry out of a laundry basket to fold it ? 😂 It was like both hands in front of him raising up slowly.
It would be interesting to see the correlation between amount of movement or deviation from standard to the accuracy of the umpire. Woud that matter too much for this series?

I was thinking that the whole time watching. Truly insane
I umpire and I’m glad someone is covering this. I do mostly club and high school ball. Better baseball and more pay.
Tom Hallion’s strike 3 call is untouchable

I always liked how vocal Jim Joyce gets with his strike calls.
"ry-EEEEEEK!!!"
That uppercut is legendary by far my favorite especially in big game moments from Tom.
Tom Hallion will never be beat.

Preferred Luciano shooting people out.

How in the world do you elbow yourself in the face
@@kristopherwilson506 magic
@@kristopherwilson506 You cant lol. Hes either lying or meant his hand
I think James Hoye has the best loud and incomprehensible strike three call since Tom Hallion retired
The baseball sequence in the Naked Gun is some of the funniest comedy ever put to celluloid.

That was Adrian Johnson
If you've never seen it search "Mark Grant umpire impressions" that man is a national treasure
Hell yes! I remember that from Super Duper Baseball Bloopers

Can we get a “BEST OF” strike three calls from the blitz ball tournament?

Tom Hallion has the best and it’s not even close

Marvin Hudson maybe?
Snowing at Chase Field… no way
I loooove it jolly! Happy holidays

I love the bow and arrow as well as the throwing darts.
I dont even watch baseball, but I'll watch umpire videos all day
Nice breakdown! This was cool to see.
Nobody did it better than the umpires in the 70’s and 80’s.

Hallion has the best punch out.
now these are some stats that exist but do not matter that i can get behind. beaut.
I'm never sure if the episode number is accurate, Since it's a stat that exists, and may not matter 😆
That’s one beautiful watch you have on. What model is it?
I’ve never met an umpire that I like
TOM HALLION FOR PRESIDENT
Who is the MLB umpire who signals strike by extending his han straight out.
Would you really call that a chop? I think of it more as a hammer.
Tom Hallion the best!
Is that chase field?
Definitely the best
John Tampane(spelling?) Aka "The Ripper".
Tumpane
Dutch Rennart??????
Where is the original host?
Boooooooo
