Scott Braun, Erik Kratz and Kevin Pillar react to the controversial Pete Alonso home run that was ruled foul and upheld after replay review. The guys break down how MLB could miss a call this significant despite replay, whether the league has the technology to eliminate uncertainty on fair-or-foul calls and why a better system hasn’t already been implemented. They also weigh in on Alonso’s proposed “simple fix” using cameras or ball-tracking technology around the foul poles and the growing frustration from players and coaches who believe MLB has the resources to get these calls right. Plus, with the Orioles battling in a crowded AL Wild Card race, the crew discusses how one controversial call like this could ultimately be the difference between making or missing the postseason.
