Have yet to see anyone explain why a runner called out on a throw can be put on first base when the call is overturned by replay. Yet a batter called out on a third strike that can be shown by replay is obviously ball four cannot be put on first base because his play is determined to not be reviewable. Care to explain why the runner's call is more important than the batter's call? Both calls 100% wrong only one can be reviewed. Nice system.
MLB has decided to not allow balls and strikes to be reviewed. What is so terribly difficult to grasp about that? It's called "don't throw out the baby with the bath water". Either you are willing to accept an incremental improvement in the accuracy of the officiating or you are not.
