GDT 6/2/23: Braves @ Snakes - Showdown in the desert

Well, since I only live 800 miles from Phoenix, I am in-market, so no TV for me the next few days.

Blackouts are stupid.
 
What happened?

Acuña stole 2nd and was originally called safe. Replay revealed that there was a split second where he was off the base between his hands touching it and his lower body touching it. Fielder maintained the tag, but it also isn’t 100% clear that he was touching him as he was sliding. Call overturned anyway.
 
As announcer said, they had to have had a different replay angle than we did .. (but why would they have that ?)

Either way, overturning that is such against the spirit of the rule anyway. Acuña had that base stolen, and it’s not like he over-slid the bag. Your entire body should have to over slide the base for you to be called out on a tag.
