In today’s SI Five-Tool Newsletter, we look at the Jurickson Profar check swing call, Jean Segura’s wild night and Rob Thomson’s managing. Plus, we preview tonight’s action.
Padres left fielder Jurickson Profar reacts after third base umpire Todd Tichenor calls him out for not checking his swing in the ninth inning of the Phillies’ 4–2 win in NLCS Game 3.
Bad calls live on forever. Some of the most infamous examples:
- A.J. Pierzynski’s reaching on a dropped third strike that wasn’t in ALCS Game 2 in 2005.
- Kent Hrbek’s pulling Ron Gant off first base and tagging him out in Game 2 of the ‘91 World Series.
