Why would the have a clock that expires at 2 seconds. Why not just have have a 18 second clock?Sexymarinersfan wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 1:05 pmThe rule is that the pitcher must have his leg in the air by the 2 second mark. The batter must be looking out and ready for the pitch by the 8 second mark. Geno took off with 1 second left. Burnes spun around at zero. Therefore, the umpire crew fucked up!!

The umpire fucked up. Burnes leg wasn't in the air by the 2 second mark. Should've been ball four to Kelenic. The umpire crew fucked up yet again. They fucked us all night. Plus Flexen was so-so. He wasn't completely trash.
And the Burnes bitch goes and high fives his buddy on the front step immediately afterwards like they had a backyard trick play up their sleeve.
I know! It's a very confusing rule to begin with. This is shy I think there's needs to be a robot ump in place if they are going to have a pitch clock.D-train wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:55 pmWhy would the have a clock that expires at 2 seconds.

I don’t think that’s the rule. It’s written like this;Sexymarinersfan wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 1:05 pmThe rule is that the pitcher must have his leg in the air by the 2 second mark.

Thanks Mike. Exactly what I thought.

The pitcher must begin his motion to deliver the pitch before the expiration of the pitch timer. Pitchers who violate the timer are charged with an automatic ball. Batters who violate the timer are charged with an automatic strike.
There is debate about what constitutes, “must begin his motion to deliver” and some pundits are suggesting that they need to be starting pivoting feet with a second or two to go. But it is effectively the wind-up must start before zero. Another debate could ensue about when the wind-up starts, I guess.
So impressive that you are so knowledgeable about your adopted game my friend!That's not what I've heard on TV. That may be the explanation, but listen to how they describe it on TV. I've seen the pitcher have a ball called because he DID NOT have his leg in the air by the 2 second mark. I'm not making this up. Just as the batter MUST BE looking good out wards home plate by the 8 Second mark. I don't know if this is because the umpires buzzer went off or what. But it still has some kinks to iron out if you ask me.mostonmike wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 11:00 pmI don’t think that’s the rule.

The videos show a series of bad calls, miscommunication, failure of the pitchcom, TV graphics out-of-sync with the umpires clock and various anomalies. If that 2 second thing was the rule it would be chaos, even more than it is now.Sexymarinersfan wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2023 12:03 amThat's not what I've heard on TV.

) on his wrist that is in sync to the official pitch timer. If he vibrates it's a ball or strike depending on who is violating. The fact that we are seeing clips of clocks or TV graphics representing the pitch clock doesn't matter, the umpire's vibrator is the ultimate arbiter of when it's expired or not. I gather from these videos that pitchcom also let's the players know as long as it works properly.
