Seattle Mariners center fielder Guillermo Heredia fouled a ball off his left foot in the fifth inning Tuesday night and was thrown out at first base, which again illustrated a big hole in baseball’s video replay protocol.
The video replay seemed to show that the call should have been reversed, but no one looked at it because foul/fair calls in front of home plate are not reviewable.
Never mind that Heredia was hopping up and down because he just got his toe smashed. Never mind that Mariners manager Scott Servais came out to argue and almost certainly had a better view of the play than any of the umpires.
