If both Crawford and Hallion had been unable to continue, what would they have done? I can't imagine an MLB game continuing with only 2 umpires, but IDK what their policy is on that.

Why would they not go to two man if necessary? College basketball will go to two man if someone gets hurt. It might have been awhile for those guys since they've done two man but if they can do three man they can do two. IMO

I have no doubt they COULD do it; my question is does MLB have a policy for what they WOULD do?

I don't see them sending 44,000 people home because two umpires got hurt and they didn't trust the other two to finish the game

Shoot... grab 4 random guys from the stands that sound like they know what they are doing and put them out there, they sure can't be any worse, right?

Grab the broadcasters, they claim to know everything about everything. It would be a hoot.

"Is there an umpire in the stadium?"

9.03 (a) If there is only one umpire, he shall have complete jurisdiction in administering the rules. He may take any position on the playing field which will enable him to discharge his duties (usually) behind the catcher, but sometimes behind the pitcher if there are runners).

That'd be something to see ... a Major League game done 1-man!

Regardless, that would not happen. Two man, yes, one man, no.
