In the second year of baseball’s manager’s challenge video replay review system, the Rockies may have found their first review of a review Wednesday in the third inning at Coors Field.
With the Astros ahead 3-0, with two outs, Charlie Blackmon stole second base. But his momentum bounced him up off the bag and Houston shortstop Carlos Correa held a tag his leg. So Astros manager A.J. Hinch challenged the call. It was an easy video replay decision and the call was overturned.
Then it got weird. Blackmon was clearly out. But Colorado manager Walt Weiss stormed out to argue with crew chief Jerry Layne, who was the ump at second base.
