The Atlanta Braves saw their four-game winning streak come to an end in controversial fashion Sunday night with a blown call at the plate and a failed replay review despite overwhelming evidence to overturn the call. The Braves naturally weren’t thrilled with the outcome and Drew Smyly summed it up best.
“We have five different angles on a nationally televised game, and it’s clear that his foot didn’t touch the plate,” Smyly said. “It’s embarrassing. Why even have replay if you’re not going to overturn that?”
Brian Snitker wasn’t as pointed as Smyly but was clearly unhappy with the call.
