That is why you don’t have your #3 hitter make an out on purpose.

I don't understand bunting with a guy on 2nd.

Unfortunately we gotta go through their best hitters to get the win from here

I will hopefully find it really funny in like 20 minutes that this also didn’t work out

That took less than 5 minutes

Do they have to give it to you if you request it?

I don't think they *have* to, but my guess is that they will ere on the side of caution. Better to review anything close than to refuse it, and then deal with the fallout tomorrow.

Replay did look kinda safe. Nico's reaction makes me question that though 

[Chicago Al]

Tuck couldn’t have hit that any more perfectly to Arraez.

[SpongeWorthy]

it’s rigged we got jobbed on both replays 

[UMFan83]

9 (who’s been pretty feisty), 1, 2 due up. Big inning (duh)

[Transmogrified Tiger]

From watching Replay Rewind all year there is an epidemic of umps making poor calls at the plate because they don't have the courage to award a run when the ball beats the player even when they get tagged high.  That better not make a difference.

[Stratos]

Is it going to be Miller time in the 8th?  Or more morejon?

That 4th run really would have made me feel so much better about things.

[Hortonhearsawho]

Terrible Ab by Tucker but even worse job by the replay team. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

If a call stands because they can't definitely make a determination, the challenging team really shouldn't lose their challenge.

[Stratos]

2 innings of Keller.

Not that anyone cares about how deep the "umpires call guys out when the ball beats the runner" conspiracy goes, but it's seemingly trickled all the way down to the depths of the Lexington Adult Baseball scene.

It's deep.

*me, still mad about getting tossed at 3rd that one time this year.

Yeah don’t know if Keller finishes but this is the spot for him 

[UMFan83]

Busch’s ball was hit 107 mph with a 28 degree launch angle and it barely got out. Wild

[squally1313]

This horsefeathers guy

[Tryptamine]

Fermin torching the Cubs, the hell is that about?

[UMFan83]

Lotta 2 strike hits for the Padres today ugh

[We Got The Whole 9]

Does Soroka come in if Keller fails?

[soccer10k]

If we could stop giving up hits to their 9 hitter, that would be great.

That what I'm thinking as why they didn't overturn it, his reaction made it seem like he got his arm
