Brett Weber, the man responsible for viewing replays and telling Joe whether to review or not, had to rely on the television replays that the general viewing public sees. You mean to tell me that the teams don't receive a direct and different feed compared to the TV viewers??? NFL football has a separate, different feed from the TV broadcast! Why doesn't MLB baseball???
Speaking of the NFL, why doesn't MLB stop the play and say, "hey, we have to review this, it's too big of a play not to". The NFL does that with crucial plays. Why can't MLB do the same?? Why is it solely up to the manager, and within 30 seconds??? I thought the whole concept was to get the call RIGHT?!!!?
With that said, Girardi had two challenges, and it was the 6th inning. He should've used the first one in that situation that could've ended the 6th inning, and not load the bases. However, Joe shouldn't take all the blame here. How about the home plate ump, who clearly got it wrong, and MLB for their screwed up policy on replay??!!!
I hope things change after this incident, and if it does, it will prove that Joe isn't the main person to blame for the non-review.
