    There’s a reason why the Cubs let him go

    I had a feeling Rondon would blow the save.

    Closers are supposed to CLOSE games! Very frustrating.

    On the angle behind the runner that’s what it looked like to me... I guess MLB agrees...

    15 blown saves sounds like a lot

    There's no way in hell New York should be deciding a ball game when it's not clearly evident he was safe. What bullshit.

    There's no way that was indisputable to be able to overturn

    It was the right call, get over it. The last angle was pretty definitive. Incredible play nonetheless.

    Let’s win this in extras.

    That was not enough to overturn that out call at the plate

    Did you actually see his hand on the bag? No it was obscured by Maldonados shoe. He couldve easily been touching his shoe which was right above the bag.

    MLB Review can splice together different angles so they can see them simultaneously, unlike the TV broadcast. They can see the angle with the hand hitting the plate time-synced with the one that shows the glove touching the runner.

    Of course there is.

    He’s had a bounce back year though. And he filled in admirably when Giles the head case went nuts.

    But he’s been flirting with serious danger even in the games he was successful in... some of his pitches deserve to get hammered.
