This is going to come up in the postgame.

I don't want to be an alarmist, but... it would appear they seriously messed that up. pic.twitter.com/0aABJlzGkC

I guess that person ignored the "in the umpires judgement."

They met about it and didnt rule it was the case.

The problem is, "In the umpire's judgment" is pretty subjective these days.

Then that's a problem with the wording in the rule, not how it was called. Wieters slid over to try and block a pitch that was suppose to be outside, it wasnt some crazy wild back swing and it wasn't like he was squarely hit on the back of the head, his mask was barely grazed and didn't affect the play at all.

Actually, it was a back swing. He hit him on the backswing on the strike 3 passed ball.

I never said he wasn't hit on the back swing. I said it wasn't a wild back swing and he was only grazed with it because he had to move over to try and block the ball that was supposed to be outside. It's a non issue.
