Umpire inexplicably issues a third-strike pitch-clock violation to Cubs' Seiya Suzuki while he walks off foul ball to his groin
This is not the intent of the pitch clock. In fact, it's a shining example for umpires of how not to implement it. During the first inning of Monday's game between the Chicago Cubs and Kansas City Royals, Cubs centerfielder Seiya Suzuki fouled off a 3-1 slider from Royals starter Noah Cameron. The ball bounced off the dirt at Suzuki's feet and straight back up into what's frequently referred to in these instances as Suzuki's groin. But we all know where it hit him — where it hurts. Thankfully for Suzuki, the blow appeared to be glancing. But even a glancing blow is cause for at least a moment of pause, which Suzuki took to walk things off. By the time Suzuki got settled back into the batter's box — in a more than reasonable amount of time, given the circumstances — the pitch clock had expired. And home plate umpire Clint Vondrak called Suzuki for a pitch-clock violation. The penalty for the violation was the third strike of Suzuki's at-bat and the end of the inning. Suzuki, commendably, walked calmly to the dugout without protest. Cubs manager Craig Counsell walked out of the dugout to take up Suzuki's case. Counsell gestured toward his own groin area while pleading with Vondrak to demonstrate the absurdity of the situation. When a baseball player gets hit in the, ahem, groin, with a baseball, he should automatically be provided with some leeway to get back to the batter's box. There's no specific hit-in-the-groin exception in the language of MLB's pitch timer rules. There shouldn't have to be. The moment the ball hits a batter's groin is the moment a timeout should be triggered. Suzuki shouldn't have to call one. This is common sense. There is leeway in the rulebook for an umpire to exercise common sense. "Umpires may provide extra time if warranted by special circumstances," the rulebook states. This was a special circumstance. But Cameron opted not to acknowledge it. Either that, or he missed what happened and didn't take the time or effort to suss the situation out. Either way, this one's on him.

Phillies claim another wild, walk-off win on catcher's interference with bases loaded in 10th
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Edmundo Sosa's teammates on the Philadelphia Phillies mobbed him beyond first base after a 3-2, walk-off win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. In the moment, it didn't matter to him that he'd gotten there thanks to a call of catcher's interference. 'To be honest, this feels exactly like a home run,' Sosa said through a translator. 'The most important thing about it is that we end up winning the game, and that's what we went out to do.' Sosa won the game when, with the bases loaded and no out in the 10th inning, his check swing on a 2-2 pitch struck the glove of catcher Carlos Narvaez. The Phillies dugout called for a review, which showed the contact, allowing Sosa to take first and automatic runner Brandon Marsh to score the winning run. 'I felt my barrel was a little late on the pitch,' said Sosa, who entered as a pinch-hitter in the eighth and singled. 'And as I go through my swing path, I feel like I hit the catcher's glove. And I told the ump that I think I felt something, and I started signaling in the dugout.' It's the first instance of a walk-off catcher's interference in a major league game since Aug. 1, 1971, when the Los Angeles Dodgers won on a call against Cincinnati Reds catcher Johnny Bench. Willie Crawford was the batter, Joe Gibbon the pitcher. The play went down as an error for Narvaez, his sixth of the season, second-most among catchers in the majors. Narvaez also had a passed ball, his fifth, in the fourth inning that moved Nick Castellanos into scoring position after he drove in the Phillies' first run. Castellanos scored on J.T. Realmuto's single. 'I don't feel I was that close to the hitter,' Narvaez said. 'Everything went so quick. Really tough for that to happen in that moment to cost us the game. I take accountability. I've got to be better. That cannot happen.' It's the Phillies' third walk-off win of the season. The first, against Washington on April 29, came on a wild pitch that allowed Bryson Stott to score. A walk-off on June 6 over the Chicago Cubs came via a Marsh single in the 11th. The Phillies lost a game in San Francisco on July 8 when Patrick Bailey hit a three-run, walk-off, inside-the-park home run. 'There's two things this year that I've never seen before in 40 years,' Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. 'One is a walk-off inside-the-park home run, and one is a walk-off catcher's interference.' The Phillies won without putting a ball in play in the 10th. Marsh started the inning at second base. Otto Kemp, trying to bunt him to third, was walked by Boston reliever Jordan Hicks. Hicks' first delivery to Max Kepler was a wild pitch that moved the runners to second and third. The Red Sox intentionally walked Kepler. Sosa went down 0-2, fouled a pitch off, then offered at an 86 mph slider, hitting only the thumb of Narvaez's glove to decide the game. 'It's strange,' Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler said. 'People always say, I've never seen that before on a baseball field. It's just another one. I'm wondering how many more times you can say that.' ___ AP MLB:

Ideal for a wide range of applications including news, sports, corporate, faith, events, documentary, live programming, and reality, the new camcorder is planned to be available in fall 2025. The PXW-Z300 combines exceptional image quality, a 17x optical zoom lens, and Electronic Variable ND filter, with versatile operational capabilities. In addition to high-quality 4K 60p recording, it features AI-powered subject recognition for precise autofocus performance. The camera introduces a new articulating Flexible LCD Arm for adaptable capturing styles and a Side V-Mount that allows smartphones or data transmitters to be securely attached. The PXW-Z300 is the world's first camcorder[1] to embed digital signatures directly into video files, enabling content authentication[2] to address the evolving needs of the content creation industry, including the growing demand for content authenticity. The PXW-Z300's network functionality has been enhanced through improved communication device integration, which supports modern production workflows that utilize 5G and cloud technologies. This enables live streaming from shooting locations and efficient file transfer over networks. "This latest camcorder has new enhancements, including content authenticity capabilities, that will be very beneficial for those in the news and production industry, whether they're capturing action-packed content, breaking stories, or producing educational documentaries," said Kento Sayama, Deputy Head, Media Segment, Imaging Solutions at Sony Electronics. Superb Imaging Performance and Versatile Operational CapabilitiesThe camcorder features 1/2-inch back-illuminated 4K 3-CMOS Exmor R sensors and the BIONZ XR image processing engine, enabling excellent color separation, F12[3] sensitivity, and 4K 60p recording. It incorporates a 17x optical zoom lens with F1.9 constant maximum aperture and three independent manual control rings for traditional camera operation. By utilizing the digital extender function, individuals can achieve 1.5x zoom in 4K mode and up to 4x zoom in HD mode with minimal resolution degradation, making the camera suitable for a wide range of capturing scenarios, including news gathering and event documentation. Additionally, the camera is equipped with an Electronic Variable ND filter that seamlessly adjusts transmission from 1/4 to 1/128, along with optical image stabilization. This allows for smooth brightness adjustment and stable capture when moving between locations with varying light conditions, such as from bright outdoor areas to dim interior spaces.

This enables high-precision subject (human) recognition based on face, eye, skeletal structure, and posture information. The system can maintain autofocus on subjects even when they are facing away from the camera or wearing facial coverings. It also features an auto-framing function that automatically adjusts composition to keep human subjects centered in the frame. The camera also features a 3.5-inch high-brightness LCD monitor with approximately 2.76 million dots. It provides excellent visibility even in bright conditions and is significantly brighter than its predecessor, the PXW-Z280. It incorporates the newly developed Flexible LCD Arm with three-axis movement, which allows flexibility in adjusting the monitor's position and angle. This enables the camera to accommodate various shooting styles. Operators can adjust the viewing distance when capturing content with the camera on their shoulder, position the LCD monitor at the camera's optical center for stable waist-level capture, or flip it forward for self-recording. Additionally, this camcorder will be offered as an all-in-one solution (VTK-Z300) that also includes wireless digital audio and accessories, such as a tripod and transport bag for capturing great video and audio on the go. Enhanced Network Functions for Immediate and Efficient Video Production WorkflowThe camera supports new workflows utilizing 5G and cloud technologies, allowing immediate transfer of recorded material from shooting locations and live streaming through smartphone or Wi-Fi/wired LAN connections.

This eliminates the need to remove media and transfer material after shooting, allowing editing to begin as material arrives. The camera supports common video streaming protocols including RTMP/RTMPS and SRT, enabling live broadcasting from remote locations. By attaching Sony's PDT-FP1 Portable Data Transmitter (sold separately) to the Side V-Mount and connecting it to the camera, users can simplify integration and achieve a more stable transmission of video material. Furthermore, the PXW-Z300 utilizes cloud services[5] such as Ci Media Cloud, a cloud-based solution for media collaboration. This allows the camera to support more immediate and efficient video production workflows with material sharing and collaboration among project members, and live streaming with multiple cameras when combined with Sony's M2 Live Cloud Switcher. Support for Various Recording Formats and Looks for Diverse Content ProductionThe PXW-Z300 supports various recording formats designed for a wide range of video production applications, including news footage and documentaries. It offers standard support for MXF file recording in formats adopted by the XDCAM series, such as MPEG HD422, XAVC Intra (4K/HD 4:2:2 10bit), and XAVC Long (4K 4:2:0 8bit/HD 4:2:2 10bit), as well as MP4 proxy recording in HEVC. The camera also accommodates diverse looks. In addition to S-Cinetone, ITU709, and 709tone available in Sony's Cinema Line series, XDCAM, and HDC series, it supports HLG Live, HLG Mild, HLG Natural, and user 3D LUTs. Users can import custom 3D LUTs (.cube files) from memory cards. The camera is compatible with Sony's mobile application Monitor & Control, which supports multi-camera shooting by allowing angle confirmation, camera settings adjustment, and remote operation from smartphones or tablet devices. Additionally, the camcorder enables the recording of up to four channels of audio – including shotgun microphones and Sony's UWP-series of wireless microphones – via XLR inputs and the Multi Interface shoe. Future support will provide proxy 4-channel audio recording. World's First Camcorder to Support Recording of Authenticity Information in VideoThe camera supports the C2PA[6] standard for recording authenticity information. It is the world's first camcorder capable of recording video with embedded digital signatures1. By expanding authenticity initiatives from still images to video, Sony contributes to the growing need for improved content reliability demanded by news organizations in recent years.
