No one’s going to forget the Tigers’ Opening Day loss to the Pirates only a few weeks ago. Nick Castellanos appeared to score the game-winning run in the 10th inning to start the season on a happy note.
While the players celebrated, jumping up and down and dogpiling near home plate, the umpires signaled that the play had been challenged and would be decided by a replay official in New York City.
Video replays from every angle sure made it look like Castellanos avoided the tag. It was certainly close, but not close enough to overturn the call on the field.
