The Giants bullpen gets the early nod for dumpster fire of the year

Climaxing with Jose Alvarez walking 3 straight batters in the bottom of the 10th to lose the game. Mariners didnt even have to put the ball in play

HBP in strike zone is a dead ball and called strike. No trip to first base is awarded. In that Met’s game the batter had 2 strikes so it should have been called strike 3, he’s out.

I'm pretty sure they weren't allowed to review if he leaned into it or not.......but how can this rule not be reviewable? I guess maybe bc you can't review called strikes/balls?

Marlins should have protested right then and there, BEFORE THE UMPIRES LEAVE THE FIELD!!!!!

By rule, that's a dead ball strike.

They did protest, vehemently. The umps even reviewed it. Problem is all they can review is if it hit him. They aren't allowed to change it to a strike, which seems kind of dumb with the replay review.

Home plate ump admitted after the game that he blew the call.

I just don't get the outrage. Conforto leaned into one like any good hitter would do in that spot. Ump blew the call as will also sometimes happen.

I didn't see the game but my immediate question when something weird happens with the bases loaded is, how did the bases get loaded?

You want to blame someone for the loss Miami, blame yourself for getting into that spot.
