Once again, my standard quicktime software allowed me to use the arrow keys on my screen (not even enlarged) to see that his foot was off of the base. While I agree that it's a "cheap" challenge, his foot was off of the base and this type of call is exactly what the replay blow hards wanted. So they need to get this right.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-47117486725141900302014-04-13T07:18:36.104-07:002014-04-13T07:18:36.104-07:00New York says OOPS! http://mlb.mlb.com/news/artic...New York says OOPS! http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb/mlb-says-call-should-have-been-overturned?ymd=20140412&content_id=71835044&vkey=news_mlbLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-71366244863472820982014-04-13T06:32:20.304-07:002014-04-13T06:32:20.304-07:00If you can't get this play right with replay t...If you can't get this play right with replay then they shouldn't even have it.

Joe Torre mentioned that Jeff Nelson's missed tag that led to Girardi's ejection during the ALDS a few years ago at Yankee Stadium spurred this whole instant replay movement and now a pretty similar tag play at second base is once again erroneous.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-75234991769360921632014-04-12T16:32:32.582-07:002014-04-12T16:32:32.582-07:00Big shocker that both the field ump & the repl...Big shocker that both the field ump & the replay ref missed the play here...
