What does the umpire in an MLB baseball game say when he's calling a strike? I can't understand what he says.

they either say strriiiiiiiiiike or yell something like haaaaaaa. they dont say "ball" for a strike, but sometimes they say it on a ball (usually in a normal voice) or they dont say anything at all.

E1 in baseball means an error on the pitcher.  It doesn't have anything to do with the umpire, it's from the score keeper.\n\n1 = pitcher\n2 = catcher\n3 = 1st base\n4 = 2nd base\n5 = 3rd base\n6 = short stop\n7 = left\n8 = center\n9 = right\n\nYour question is very had to interpret, but think this is what you're going after.

Strikeout is negative thing for batter. He is supposed to make contact with the ball. But the object for the pitcher is to make the batter miss or throw the ball over the plate between the batter's waist and his knee's. This is the typical "strike zone".. Miss the ball 3 times and you're "out"..If perhaps the batter after already having 2 strikes to the "count", he hits the ball, tipping it backwards, sorta like a foulball, but it goes right in to the catchers mitt, it's an automatic out.\n\nTeam's offense gets 3 outs per inning. Nine innings a game. 162 games in a season. Strikes...\nGood thing for pithcher to throw. Not really a bad thing for a hitter to get unless he gets three in an at-bat. \nPitchers objective-Throw strikes and get strikeouts or get the person to hit the ball to a player on the defense hopefully on a pop up or a ground ball to the infield for an easy out.. Do that alot and you are great pitcher.\n\nMerril must be a batter and strike out alot.

I know this one.\n\nSwing the baseball bat three times. You are not going to hit any ball, so that makes 3 strikes and you're OUT.

It's a strike.  He's only awarded 1st base if he's not attempting to hit it.  See rule 6.08(b)\n\n(b) He is touched by a pitched ball which he is not attempting to hit unless (1) The ball is in the strike zone when it touches the batter, or (2) The batter makes no attempt to avoid being touched by the ball; If the ball is in the strike zone when it touches the batter, it shall be called a strike, whether or not the batter tries to avoid the ball. If the ball is outside the strike zone when it touches the batter, it shall be called a ball if he makes no attempt to avoid being touched. APPROVED RULING: When the batter is touched by a pitched ball which does not entitle him to first base, the ball is dead and no runner may advance

1. "I think I like L.A."\n\nHe's not saying "I take I like L.A." You're mishearing it.\n\n2. You gave the wrong audio link\n\n3. "Strike three"\n\nIt's a baseball term.

You need to rearrange the clause (and only the clause) containing the who into normal word order to understand the difference.  You cannot take out "the umpire calls" and say who is correct, because it is the rest of the clause (not the whole sentence) that determines the corrrect case for who.\n\nEntire sentence: Who the umpire calls is the winner.\n\nClause: "Who the umpire calls" is the complete clause.  The rest of the sentence is completely irrelevant at this point.\n\nThe umpire calls (whom); whom is the object of the verb calls, not the subject.  Therefore, whom is correct.

1 word. amamzing\n\ni went to a game last june. rangers vs. red sox. the sox were losing in the bottom of the ninth and you know who hit the walk off dinger. words cant explain what the atmosphere was like after he hit it. it is something i will never forget. i just remember everyone was standing up and cheering as soon as big papi stepped up. and after he hit it there was a constant stading ovation for like another 10 minutes after he hit it. no one wanted to leave. everyone wanted to soke in the moment. \n\n\njerry remi: "BIG PAPI DOES IT AGAIN!!!!! THE RED SOX WIN!!!!!!"\n\n\ngood stuff....

A runner can be called out though if he were to interfere with a fielders attempt to catch a fly ball while over foul ground.\n\nA runner is also not always out when hit by a batted ball in fair territory. If the ball has passed a fielder, (excluding pitcher) and no other fielder has an oppotunity to make a play, the runner will not be out if hit. You'll never see that in MLB though!

A foul tip is;\n\n1. ALWAYS caught by the catcher, and\n2. ALWAYS is a live ball, runners may advance, and\n3, NEVER is an out.\n\nA batter can be called out after a foul tip if it is the third strike, but he is not out due to a foul tip, rather he is out on strike three.\n\nDon't confuse a foul tip with a foul ball, they are two different things. A foul tip by definition is;\nA batted ball which goes sharply and directly from the bat to the catchers hands, or glove and is legally caught by the catcher.\n\nSome ruleset add "not higher than the batter's head" to that, but that is being dropprd in most. If a catcher has to move to the ball  (even just his hands) to catch it, it would be a fly ball caught in foul territory and an out. If not caught it would be a foul ball (see # 1 above).

Why do you say he's no good?  Did he just make a bad call?  or was it just a call that went against your team.  Act like an adult and don't be stupid.  You have to realize that no matter what you "think" you see in terms of him "missing" a call, you're going to be biased towards your own team.  If he's just a bad umpire, remember he's making bad calls all around, so it's affecting both teams equally.

Who's on First, What's on Second, I Don't Know is on third. Why is in left. Because is in center. Tomorrow is the pitcher. Today is catcher. I Don't give a Darn is at short.

If less than two strikes, it is a foul ball (and therefore a strike). If there are two strikes, it is a strikeout.

AJ's hit was clean. You don't stand in front of the plate if you dont have the ball. if your a catcher, you have to expect getting hit on a close play, just like if your a lifeguard, you expect to help someone if one is drowning... so suck it up barret. A runner coming home is not going to have enough time to think about whether or not the catcher has the ball or not. a runner does not look to see if the catcher catches the ball or not, the runner looks at the plate. after barret lost the ball, he stood in front of the plate like a goon. what did he expect. its understandable if barret exchanges a few words, and maybe gives a little push, but a sucker punch is way too far

I'd guess that pretty much all of them get hit at some point during the season - foul balls ricocheting backwards are quite common.  There are a total of 68 MLB umpires, so that's probably how many get hit.

There is no rule in MLB that says it is a strike. However it is common sense that a ball put in play is a strike. On an official pitch count there must be a determination of ball or strike for every pitched ball.  Thus a ball put in play is considered a strike.  Hope this helps!
