The dubious check-swing call against Flores, which instantly drew criticism, gave Max Scherzer his first career save and the Dodgers a 2-1 win that propelled them to the NLCS agains the Braves. Morales told reporters postgame that “check swings are one of the hardest calls we make,” and those aren’t moments that managers can challenge under MLB’s replay rules.
“I don’t have the benefit of multiple camera angles when I’m watching it live,” Morales said, via USA Today. “When it happened live I thought he went, so that’s why I called it a swing.”
