Did Wilmer Flores Check His Swing On Controversial Strikeout Call To End Game 5? We should Look Closer

It simply smells that the NLDS matchup between the two long-term NL West opponents needed to end with a sketchy call — essentially to the points we as a whole saw from cameras — and not with a more authoritative play. 

Be that as it may, here we are. What's more, it's an ideal opportunity to separate everything and see what we as a whole might suspect. Was this a check-swing for Flores with a man on first and Max Scherzer pitching? 

Well. This sure didn't resemble a going all out, so this call was from the a respectable starting point umpire Gabe Morales. 

Once more, does it look like what the meaning of a going full speed ahead would we'll say we'll is (get to that)? I say no! 

Does this give a more clear picture? That last one is the nearest proof I've made sure being a real swing, however that wasn't Gabe Morales' perspective.

Through KNBR, a Q&A with Morales and individual ump Ted Barrett: 

Q. Did you see the replay? 

GABE MORALES: I have seen it, yes. 

Q. OK. Do you actually feel the same way? 

GABE MORALES: Check swings are probably the hardest call we have. I don't have the advantage of various camera points when I'm watching it live. At the point when it happened live I thought he went, so that is the reason I considered it a swing. 

Q. Is there a meaning of an actually take a look at swing? 

TED BARRETT: We talk about it part at our gatherings since it is one of our most troublesome calls and we attempt to get all in total agreement as a staff that all of us are attempting to call exactly the same thing. However, by the standard book it simply says, did he offer at the pitch. So there's some equivocalness there, however we give a valiant effort to attempt to be predictable, so players know what's a swing and so forth. 

Tragically, it seems as though there's no conclusive clarification, (for example, did it go beyond a specific distance) that would help here. Here's additional from CBS Sports, with Rule 8.02c: 

Requests on a half swing might be settled on just on the decision of ball and when requested to pursue, the home plate umpire should allude to a base umpire for his judgment on the half swing. Should the base umpire consider the pitch a strike, the strike call will win. Requests on a half swing should be made before the following pitch, or any play or endeavored play. In the event that the half swing happens during a play which closes a half-inning, the allure should be made before all infielders of the cautious group leave a reasonable area.
