These are the ****ty parts of replay along with letting the guy keep his glove on the person the whole time during a slide until a fraction of his body leaves the bag and he's out. This isn't what replay is supposed to be for.
True. Maybe since runners can't impede the fielder, it offests the fielder having to touch the base. Looked like a sure out, though.
If you're not a football team in this city, you have to have a long tradition of winning before the stadium can really drown out fans from other teams, especially if it's a popular team coming to town.
Doesn't even have to be a long tradition of winning... but it does need to be more than 1 winning season in the past 10 years.
A real contending front office shouldn't feel comfortable coming into the season with a rotation like the Astros have.
