    The eye contact thing is the weirdest part to me. Asking an ump to judge eye contact is going to create issues.

    • @__vx3
      @__vx3 ปีที่แล้ว +222

      I feel like at this point there needs to be a space between when the batter is required to be set and when the pitcher is allowed to begin his windup, because otherwise there's no way for the ump to judge this consistently.

      @evasegod ปีที่แล้ว +77

      From what I understand eye contact is one of the cues but they also have to take into account if the batter is set and Anderson was clearly not set at all before Webb began his motion. It's actually a rule and should have resulted in a ball instead.

    • @MariposaEdits
      @MariposaEdits ปีที่แล้ว +51

    I think this would all be solved if the ump simply held a hand up to hold until he saw the batter was set and then it was ok to pitch. Then it would be simple to see who was milking the clock as well.

      Exactly. They're mad at the pitcher for pitching "too quickly" but if he waits too long because the batter has to wiggle around like he has ants in his pants every at bat, then he gets penalized for it. Also, that pitch was delivered well after he'd stepped out. If he had time to step out, he had time to swing at it.

      @Kickflipguy ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Part of being ready though is focusing your eyes on the pitcher/ball. So by putting “look at the pitcher” as a signal you are ready for the pitch you could be handicapping the batter. He is looking down at an object close to him- then he looks up, his eyes are adjusting to looking at an object far away from him and WOAH HERE COMES THE PITCH!
      As someone else said- it should be “batter has to be set by 12 seconds remaining- pitcher can’t pitch until 8 seconds remaining. Or something like that.
      Also- if the batter called time- the pitcher shouldn’t be allowed to pitch until the ump resumes the game…. Which he shouldn’t do until the batter says go. Wtf is that.
      Imagine if the defense calls time out in football and then, without warning and without a specific amount of time lapsing, the offense just runs a play. Wtf.

  • @blizzfreak245
    @blizzfreak245 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    I honestly thought after the first twirl, the batter was getting both hands on the bat and set. I bet Webb thought so too. Then he decided to twirl the bat a 2nd time when Webb was already pitching. Honestly batters have such a routine for spending like 19 seconds to twirl the bat, adjust feet, shuffle anything could be considered as " not set"

  • @DerekBentonTV
    @DerekBentonTV ปีที่แล้ว +86

    The rule isn't for the batter and pitcher to "nod to each other". Anderson turned his head towards the pitcher, and just because he then quit his motion after that, Webb had already started his pitching motion because Anderson was looking at him. A batter looking at a pitcher is the only gauge the ump truly has.

    To me, it's a good pitch all day long. Anderson took his TO. He stepped back into the box, had his head up, made eye contact, took a swing, then stepped back out as pitch was coming. Once you're back in the box, no more stepping out.

      Should be if the batter has used their 1 TO once back in the box they should get set. If they step out of the box (aside from a throw that would cause injury) it's an automatic out with a warning to the batter for their next at bat during that game. If repeated then ( of course automatic out ) plus ejection. Hurt feelings should never play a part in baseball.

    The biggest part of the rule they seem to be emphasizing is the eye contact. If we’re going based on eye contact then Webb was more than okay to start when he did and the umpire was right. I don’t necessarily think that should be the way we interpret the rule. Right now as a batter I wouldn’t make eye contact until I’m pretty much set or coming into my set solely bases]d on how much of the conversation of the rule is centered around eye contact.

      Webb had already come set by the time Anderson stepped into the box. That is a clear violation of the Scherzer rule. Webb waited to start his delivery until Anderson broke eye contact, so the fact that he wasn't called just on the basis of having come set prematurely is a bad look for the ump.

      Perhaps if you look at single at bats in isolation. But at the end of the day Pitchers are doing a lot more work than batters/fielders & condensing the amount of time in which they have to put in that work makes Pitching a lot harder. You’re going to see a lot fewer guys throwing 100+ pitches & going late into games down the stretch. It’s worse for Pitchers than batters & the increase in runs early in the season & Spring training shows that.

      Imagine those old lazy farmers sitting on their wooden porches all winter and fall, waiting for a couple weeks to plant seeds. Imagine the good ole rocking chair getting a work out while farmer Smith waited for spring rains. Or waiting for months for mother nature to grow his crops. Then finally his community gets together and they all show up to harvest his field, the next farm fields, etc. Ten months of sitting and two months of real work. A hard life.
      But now it's better. We can save walking and drive to the food store instead of out on a farm to pick vegetables, gather eggs, slaughter a pod or chicken. We can finger a remote or talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime with a few touches and even see them. No more hitching the mule to a wagon to ride into town to visit the general store or send a telegram.
      We've come a long way towards laziness and ease. Finally, imagine how great it will be to spread this attitude through out the solar system.

    This is why cricket is much better at "getting set" than baseball. Usually the bowler / pitcher has a massive run up towards the wicket where they bowl (about 20m). In that time the batsman can get set at his wicket to be ready once the ball is delivered. Even for spin bowlers who spin slower balls and approach the wicket sloeer (like curveballs) have a run up of about 5m for batters to be set. It makes it way easier everyone to be ready and have consistent rate of overs (sets of pitches)

    The second pitch began right at the end of the "hip thrust thing" about a full second before the leg came up. You count the one pitch from the left foot movement and the second from the leg lift. There was maybe a third of a second difference on timing between the batter and pitch in the two examples. Also, how is an umpire supposed to define a batter being set and a pitcher beginning a pitch when you are putting things in slow motion to determine exactly when a pitcher "starts" movement and a batter's bat is completely raised.

But if how Jomboy explained it is the new rule, there's going to be a lot of manipulation by the pitchers & batters. If it is still on the ump to judge 'eye contact' of a batter, who's eyes the ump can't even see, and the pitcher, why not just have the ump tell the pitcher when he can start his windup? If this is how the pitch clock rule continues, I expect there to be a lot of video replays trying to figure whether the batter or pitcher was in the right.

    I think Anderson should not look directly at the pitcher while he's getting set if he still needs a few seconds. Giving eye contact is giving the green light. You can get fully set while looking straight ahead before turning your head toward the pitcher (imo).

      The ump should have called Webb while he was delivering the pitch. Webb had already come set when Anderson stepped into the box, so Webb should have been called for quick pitching easy.

      … and then yelled at Webb, was told to fuck off, kept it up, then got tossed. This is literally all on Tim. And if a quick pitch had been called on Webb, cause it ~was~ close, I guarantee you it wouldn’t have caused such a scene. TA’s attitude constantly costs his team.

    I get that some pitchers (like this guy and Max Scherzer and all) will be trying to fuck with the batters in a less restricted clock for batters but... there's gotta be some way to make sure it's not that exploitable.
