Sometimes instant reply works in your team’s favor, other times it can cost you. Then there are cases where it leaves you scratching your head. The Boston Red Sox certainly aren’t complaining about the latest controversial review but the Houston Astros are ticked off about it.
They might have good reason to be.
The controversy occurred in the seventh inning of a tie game Sunday night. Jose Altuve led off with a bunt base hit that ended with him standing at second base due to a throwing error by Brandon Phillips. Two batters later, Sandy Leon failed to keep a knuckleball from Steven Wright in front of him, allowing Altuve to advance to third on a passed ball with only one out.
