Default Was the first base umpire correct yesterday?

Why not have the whole game officiated by video replay in New York? It would only add 6 to 7 hours to the length of the game. What say you?

If it eliminated the Giants, it was the right call.

So the fix was in.

The ump believed he was correct in what he saw. Replay shows otherwise.
I gotta defer to the human element of the game. It has been there long before TV came into the picture.

It sucks but evens itself out over time too.

At best, an experienced umpire should have seen it as close, in which case you have to resolve it against ending a one run playoff game on a called check swing.

Agreed. In that instance the ump should be aware of the situation. Even if it was more borderline (which it wasn't), ending a post-season series on a ticky-tack call like that is just poor form.
