Game 1 March 30, 2018 Tigers vs. Pirates

[Mitchrapp]

I still want to see what whomever dumbass in NY saw. MLB needs to show us why that was overturned.

They won't. Somehow whoever was in the booth in NY want the play to be out. So they looked until they saw something..

"I think you have to call him safe. Oh no we can't have that keep on looking."

Replay has run its course in all sports in my opinion. Fans are tired of this BS. The millisecond by millisecond breakdown of a play grinds an already slow game to a halt. And the intent is to "get the play right" and they still can't even do that. So why do we even have it at this point?

Wonder if any other new manager of a MLB team, had ever been ejected before in his first game of the first game of a season?

I'd guess chances are pretty good that it has happened before .. especially considering most managers get hired during the off-season and thus their first game is usually the first game of a season.

But .. I could be wrong.

that reversal better not be the difference between the Tigers making the playoffs or sitting at home in October!

Tigers Win On Walkoff, Then Return To Field After Bullshit Replay Reversal

https://deadspin.com/tigers-win-on-walkoff-then-return-to-field-after-bulls-1824220697


For every normal fan watching extra innings of today’s game between the Pirates and Tigers, it looked like Detroit won 11-10 in the 10th on a walk-off hit by JaCoby Jones, which scored Nicholas Castellanos on a thrilling play at the plate. The Tigers rushed out of the dugout and onto the field to celebrate, but had to delay their emotions for just a bit, because of the formality of an expected, no-risk Pirates challenge.

After four agonizing minutes, though—long enough to assume that the replay review was not indisputable—the game was back on, because Castellanos was judged to have been just barely grazed by Francisco Cervelli’s glove. Nick was out, and extra innings would continue.

And so what would have been a thrilling and euphoric end to the Tigers’ season opener was instead transformed into an agonizing and unsatisfying epistemological exercise. Replay sucks.

"The Replay Official shall make a decision on a call under Replay Review within two minutes after the Crew Chief and Replay Official confirm which call is subject to Replay Review. If the Replay Official does not make a decision within two minutes, the Replay Director (or management official serving on his behalf) will instruct the Replay Official to make a decision. If the Replay Official does not feel he has enough video evidence to make a decision at the time of prompting by the Replay Director (or management official serving on his behalf), the Replay Official shall inform the Crew Chief that the call stands. In the event the call is overturned, the Replay Official's placements of runners (or such other actions necessary to place both Clubs in the same position that they would have been had the changed call been correct in the first instance) may occur after the expiration of the two-minute clock."

It took almost 4 mins for MLB to reverse the call @ the plate, in violation of their own rules, and b/c Detroit.

I wasn't able to watch the game yesterday but was following it on my computer while working. After the game was over I was able to watch several replays. It looked like he tagged him BUT there was no view that showed that he absolutely did it. Since the call on the field was safe they shouldn't have reversed it.

oh well...it really doesn't matter.

After recording two hits on Opening Day Detroit, Miguel Cabrera finished with his 756th career multi-hit game. That ties him with Tigers Hall of Famer Harry Heilmann and Ted Williams for 54th in MLB history.

At 5 hours, 27 minutes, the Pirates - Tigers was longest Opening Day game in MLB history.
(Since 1908, via @baseball_ref).

The Detroit Tigers now sport a winning 67-51 Opening Day record.

I still say he was safe. Safe safe. He missed Nick. It would only be a guess to say he got the tag..

DETROIT -- While milling around outside the dugout Friday afternoon, waiting for a ruling from New York that would determine whether whether he had won his first game as manager of the Detroit Tigers, Ron Gardenhire was feeling confident.

"I got hugged six times telling me, 'Congratulations on your first win,'" he said Saturday

But the review dragged on and the optimism waned.

Center fielder Leonys Martin turned to Gardenhire and asked, 'What happens if they change it? Are you going to kick dirt on home plate?'"

"Damn right I am,'" Gardenhire replied.

The call was overruled and he kept his promise.

That's nice. Ausmus would have just okay and walked away. Though this one I liked: https://twitter.com/blessyouboys/status/732375927859089412/photo/1

I don't get it, if it wasn't definitive, Why the F did they overturn it!

http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...oit-tigers-mlb-says-mistakes-made-replay-call

seriously man file a protest nd get the W back!

Just saw promos for Pin Tar Wars the other day, never realized how circus like that all got was a bit young then. Let's get MLB to give the Tigers that W back! That's not how it works MLB, call on field overrides might have, we think he may have, could have, it is supposed to be conclusive ya friggin renobs

Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said Monday that Major League Baseball has acknowledged mistakes were made Friday when a replay review overturned a walk-off victory for Detroit over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday.

In the 10th inning, Detroit's Nicholas Castellanos was initially called safe at home on a single by JaCoby Jones, and the Tigers spilled onto the field to celebrate. The play was reviewed, however, with the Detroit players still waiting on the field on the ruling.

After Castellanos was called out to end the inning, Gardenhire argued until he was tossed in his first game as the Tigers' manager and for the 74th time in his career. The Pirates went on to win the game 13-10 in 13 innings.

Gardenhire told reporters the Tigers "heard what we wanted to hear" when general manager Al Avila spoke with MLB this weekend. He said MLB acknowledged that too much time was needed to reach a replay decision and that the video evidence wasn't definitive.

"The explanation was they didn't really have conclusive evidence that somebody tagged him," Gardenhire said, according to mlive.com. "Yes, he might have got him. 'We think he got him' is not good enough. In this situation, it has to be definitive. It has to be, 'Yeah, I see him [tag] him.' It's not, 'Well, he looked like he touched his sleeve.' That can't happen. It's got to be conclusive. Obviously it didn't happen. There were mistakes made. That's fine. It won't bring anything back."

Gardenhire told reporters that MLB tried to blame the Tigers for the amount of time needed for the replay review.

"One of the statements made to me was, the reason it took so long is because you guys were celebrating," he told reporters, according to the Detroit News. "I said, 'You just called our guy safe. We're not going to celebrate a win?'

"As soon as you put on the headphones, we stopped and stood there. That's a B.S. explanation. That's straight B.S. That's what I told them."

MLB admitted they screwed up. Now fix the screw up and give the Tigers their victory back.

It's bad enough we had to watch a perfect game taken away by an umpiring screw up several years ago, now this.

I hope dip shit Avila is going to pursue that.. sue the league office if ya have to dammit for failure to comply with their own damn rules and the clown that decided to overturn it on non-conclusive video proof should be fired immediately
