Yup.
Look here Mr No hitter jinx master. They don't use screenshots in the replay booth. Because it's stupid. You can' tell where the glove is in a 2d picture that doesn't move.
Watch the video below at the 50 second mark. They show a few different angles in slow motion. The only argument is that he hit his helmet, which I don't see.

I understand that it isn't "clear", but as I stated earlier, you'll never have a "clear" view of a play like this. The MLB doesn't have the correct camera angles for a lot of these replay calls so why have replay at all? If you watch NFL, you'll see the types of camera angles that are needed for replay to be efficient. The pylon camera has worked wonders for replay in NFL.
If they're going to have replay in MLB, then they need to figure out a way to install cameras in all of the bases, in home plate (or around home plate that aren't obtrusive) and on the foul poles. Until then, replay is a waste of time, except for fan interference or fair/foul calls along the base lines.

I will say this....I think the replay rules need to be tweaked such that the onus of Out/Safe/Inconclusive be put on the replay guys and if the call stands because they can't come up with conclusive evidence one way or the other then the team should not lose their challenge.
Big win last night in a big series.
