Re Dom Smith, I saw that slide and it looked awkward. That’s another issue with replay—that was clearly a HR. I assume it wasn’t called as such bc of the reliance on replay. So he slides unnecessarily and could be hurt. ugh. Even worse, DeGrom’s double that wasn’t. Infuriating. If it wasn’t a DeGrom game I would have turned the game off. It was the first exciting play of the game until it wasn’t. I hate replay. In all sports. I’m 44 years old. I can list on one hand the truly impactful blown calls (85 World Series, Galeraga’s perfect game, Santana no hitter, maybe another one I’m not remembering). Is it really worth it?
