Not worried about the offense yet. Looks like the braves will face scherzer, Strasburg, and wheeler next 3 games, so not looking like a fun stretch for the hitters.
Got screwed over tonight... Apparently replay is useless.
Replay "upheld" the call. They said he clearly touched it... they didn't say it stood
SEC Umps > MLB Umps.
And that's saying a lot
Some heads need to roll over this
Yeah that was probably a reach lol. I'm more upset with the replay guys though- I mean that is what replay is for... To look at close plays and make the correct call based on the video. If all they are going to do is uphold the Umps calls then they might as well not have replay.
Justin turner tweeted that the call was garbage, but he said the call stood. I'm not quite as upset if they just let the call stand... espn said the call was upheld
MLB umps have been egomaniacs for a long time (I'm looking at you Angel Hernandez). If MLB just lets another ump review the call on replay, then that ump is going to uphold the call every time so that the field ump is correct.
If the you can’t tell for certain after looking at all the available angles then i’m fine with upholding the call on the field. But after rewatching the whole scene there are two different angles that clearly show that he never touched the plate. Brutal choke job.
CB Buckner must have been the replay official
