I always thought that they had an extra umpire in the stadium in case anything like this happened

The umpires in the outfield are the extra umpires for the postseason. Since it is baseball they can make themselves useful and stand in the outfield because they won't be in the way. In other sports, like hockey, there isn't room for them to be on the playing surface.

@@russellbrooker2122 negative, not in the regular season. 4 man until playoffs and then they add 2 more. Post covid they added a traveling umpire who stayed in the locker room out of site. Reason why there is no 5th in the park as a standard is that mlb owners refuse to pay for it. It’s the only way it’ll happen and it’s been voted on and rejected in the past. These guys worked primarily 2 and 3 man through MiLB careers so this is nothing new. Just new at the big league level.

MLB wants to replace the injured umpire with one that is already mentally focused on the game, one that has already perhaps made some calls, routine or not. He would also have a better idea of what is going on between the teams, coaches and players as opposed to an "on-call" umpire who is sitting in the official's locker room not "feeling" the game.

jacobyshelby1219 I am actually surprised they don’t have a stand by umpire in the stadium for playoff games. I understand your point, but to compare the NHL has a stand by referee and linesman available and ready to go at all playoff games. You still would have some delay if it is the plate umpire that leaves regardless just the fact that he would have to unpack plate gear and get dressed, just the same as you would if an umpire for the game comes in to take the plate, he would basically have to undress unpack and change into plate gear as well.

Jeff Nelson is one of the absolute best in the bigs, but in both cases here I think he should be more in the slot. I understand that his scissors stance puts him in that position on purpose, but on both of these hits he is almost directly behind home plate. As umpires, we want to stay just to the left or right of the plate (in the slot) for situations like these. You want that foul ball to fly over your shoulder and not square you up for a direct hit to the face.

To add to this, the scissors can also be less forgiving to the neck as the foul balls off the mask area drive the head backward and the slot may allow the head to go backward slightly more than the scissors as the body may be stiffer in the upright position.

I have been a baseball fan for decades and I did not know until just this moment the legal definition of "foul tip," which, I am afraid, means that there is a secondary definition of the term, which was the one used by the announcer and by many other people, such as myself.

Nelson wearing pullover jacket at Yankee stadium. Never see Nelson wear a jacket at Comerica Park. Always too warm for that. Thanks to global warming and Chris Ilitch bringing Tigers fans summer. Umpires can wear short sleeve black shirts all 81 Tigers home games next year

once, just once I wish the announcer would not say "foul tip". A foul tip is a ball touched by bat and goes quickly to catcher's glove and is CAUGHT! Any ball nipped they call a tip. Also, both of these balls were a full force/neck rocking effect on Jeff Nelson! If you said an umpire left the game on a "foul tip", anyone who knows baseball would laugh.#JoeBuck is by far an overrated know it all announcer who should stick to football.
