Controversial replay review overturns JaCoby Jones walk-off winner

Well, the season took an extra 24 hours to start, and then it looked like the Tigers’ Opening Day matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates would never end. However, there was a brief glimmer of joy in the 10th inning, when it looked as though JaCoby Jones had walked off the Pirates with an RBI single to score Nicholas Castellanos. Sadly, after a truly interminable replay review the call of safe at home was overturned. Welcome to your 2018 Tigers.

In the end, we all want the umpires to get calls right. That’s the whole point.
