"I was told by two people directly involved that Springer was not complaining at all, he was merely asking for clarification that Ohtani indeed gets more time beyond the normal two minute break between innings."
"What Rosenthal is referring to is when Blue Jays manager John Schneider was irked several times throughout Game 7 about the allotted time that Shohei was being given."
George Springer was in the on-deck circle when he appeared to react to Shohei Ohtani's warm-up time. However, MLB insider Ken Rosenthal clarified that Springer was not complaining but rather seeking clarification on Ohtani's extended warm-up period. The rule allows umpires discretion on Ohtani's warm-up time, which has previously caused frustration for Blue Jays manager John Schneider during a past game. Rosenthal emphasized that Springer's intent was misunderstood and not a repeat of previous complaints.
