So… this just happened. 😲
So very proud of our Flexport.org team.
.@aplusk & Mila Kunis were among the first to respond to our grief. They have already raised $35 million & are sending it to @flexport & @Airbnb to help 🇺🇦 refugees. Grateful for their support. Impressed by their determination. They inspire the world. #StandWithUkraine
Goalie played the ball and it went backwards (does not count as a save attempt) and it would therefore have been an own goal.
That 45 degree line is arbitrary. It’s never been in the rule book. The rule is “attempted to strike at” and for a long time now has been consider to be going past parallel with the top edge of the plate.
MLB players with a 45 degree rule would never strike out
The Yandy Diaz strikeout to end Game 2 would not have been close to a swing under the review system they've been testing in the minor leagues

There is no definition in the rule book for a swing but I agree that the “unwritten rule” has been past the plane of the plate. 45 degrees is wild and goes back to the “break the wrist rule.”
In the UK they used to have coin operated gas meters in rental apartments. This is the stuff they leave out when talking about "going back to the good ole days."
It’s a “game changer” that players actually need to follow the rules as written and not just go off of vibes.
I was thinking the same thing last night when I saw it live.
I was explaining to my wife the “old school ‘in the area’ call.
She replied - that’s stupid. His foot’s not on the base. 🤣
She is right. But now with instant replay, MLB players have to make a “real” play with their foot on the base.
In my mind, game changer.
I also believe coaches would not challenge every call like this because that’s the game.
But in the World Series with runners on, I get it.
Play with the rules given to you to help your team win.
Among other things: The Netherlands is not a Catholic country (hence why Belgium exists) and that Kosovo note is very problematic.
Two big storms in the Pacific impacting shipping.
Off Taiwan Typhoon Champi has put a halt to vessel traffic as they shelter and await storm passage.
Meanwhile in the north pacific a very large system is pushing shipping south off the great circle route.
The combined storms will lead to several days of delays.
