IMO, the check swing appeal is akin to balls / strikes

I doubt Replay would be used for this.

I agree but most all of the time its even close in MLB they call the strike. So the problem is either the umpire simply choked, or as some suggested was simply not really paying attention closely, ??

I don't know, would be interesting to hear his side of the story. But, I would guess that at least 95 percent of all close are called strikes in MLB.

So, then it arises the question, was the umpire really qualified to be calling this type of game?

Just wondering,

Thanks
