Major League Baseball is still deciding whether to review the call.

Oh, boloney

The game's over, it's in the books. What, are they going to now go back & look at all the close calls in games and make another decision?

Agreed. That’s baseball. It was a bad call but even umps make mistakes. I speak as a LL coach who has seen MUCH worse calls that that was...I’ve made a few myself.

Exactly.

And for those folks advocating for instant replay, at what point to you utilize it?

What if this call had been made in the second inning, before the thought of a perfect game even crossed anyone’s mind?

What if it was the 5th? Or the 8th? Or what if they were in extra innings? What is this hit had eventually resulted in a run for the Indians? Could they still decide to overrule the call, change the score and erase a batter’s RBI?

Bad calls happen. BFD.
