@espn: Within the new Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System the rule states that players must challenge before making any other movements, Biggio flipped his bat before attempting to challenge. #MLB #challenge #baseball
To be fair, he was already in the process of flipping it thinking it was a ball before the strike call was even made. By this rule players need to not move and wait for a call even if it's 3 feet off the plate in case someone Angel's it up.

so the ump can hold his call till the batter or catcher moves therefore they can't call for a review?

So the Brewers got their green/red card shutdown because the challenge has to come without input from the dugout. It’s possible, just looking at the video, that the ump felt or noticed him make eye contact with the dugout before the challenge (wouldn’t surprise me with the Astros TBH). The bat flip assuming ball 4 is automatic. Every player does it on every 3 ball count to try to sway the call, so I don’t really give that motion any weight. Just my 2 cents

Yall not even realizing that pitch was in fact in the strike zone. Look at the list of balls and strikes in the screen 😂

What if it's a ball that was called as a strike and it's a dropped 3rd strike? The batter can't run to first?

I like this rule I hate it when players throw the bat immediately assuming it's a walk. now they gotta wait for the call every time.

Before any movement is so vague it should be a timing system as well as when the pitcher is ready.

Anybody who gets mad at batters for leaving the box before the ump calls the pitch should be jumping for joy.
