I found it interesting the plate ump got on the microphone, guessing to announce ruling. I don't have my sound on and I'm guessing it was in Japanese regardless. Imagine having to do that with some of the fans we get at games. Yikes.

Yeah, this Japanese umpire makes Ed Hochuli sound like a one-word conversationalist. I don't speak Japanese, but this guy must've given the complete history of the uncaught-third-strike rule.
