CHICAGO - Check-swing calls - did he go or not go? - are so subjective, it's hard to imagine Major League Baseball and the Players Association agreeing to include them in replay video review. But manager Bruce Bochy thought about it after a potential game-altering call went against the Giants in their Game 1 loss Friday night.
Gorkys Hernandez, leading off the ninth against Aroldis Chapman, was called out by first-base umpire Alan Porter on a 3-2 check swing. A walk would have forced Chapman into the stretch with a man on and nobody out.
