by Susan Slusser via twitter 5/4/2014 6:21:08 PMMy understanding is that if initial call wrong, even if the call being checked - blocking plate in this case - is OK, call can be reversed. -
by Jane Lee via twitter 5/4/2014 6:20:40 PMMelvin encouraged review to determine whether Pierzynski was blocking the plate. -
by Susan Slusser via twitter 5/4/2014 6:20:25 PMUmpires can review on their own if managers out of challenges; in this case, they're checking to see if plate illegally blocked.
-
by Tom Caron via twitter 5/4/2014 6:20:14 PMSo... Why have a "limited" number of challenges if they're still going to review? -
by Jane Lee via twitter 5/4/2014 6:20:01 PMLooks like this will be an umpire's review of play at plate.
-
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 5/4/2014 6:19:55 PMDonaldson thrown out at plate on Moss' double. A's used challenge on 1st pitch, but A's can ask umps to review. Under review now. -
by Susan Slusser via twitter 5/4/2014 6:19:27 PMLooks as if he has successfully talked crew into a review - and on replay Donaldson looks pretty safe.
-
by Susan Slusser via twitter 5/4/2014 6:18:57 PMDonaldson thrown out at plate 7-6-2 trying to score on double by Moss; Melvin would like to get a replay but he's out of challenges.
