That was the worst call in Atlanta since the infield fly debacle in the 2012 Wild Card.

I like replay in all sports. No excuse for the call being wrong but I’m not as convinced as everyone else. If the technology is there to get he call right it should be used.
Sorry homers, he was out.
The call on the field was out. You can't tell any different by the replay. Had he been called safe and the Cubs challenged then he would have been safe. Did he tag him on the head??? Was his hand on the plate or above it???
Are you serious? If you can't see that he was safe by a mile, then you need to have your eyes checked just like the ump who called him out. I guess catching a ball in foul territory makes you safe now, too?

Show me a screenshot then, tough guy.
You do realize the first base ump is signaling the HP ump that there was no interference......don't you?
If you say he hit him on the helmet then I agree that it could be unconclusive. Only because you can't tell where his hand is because of the dirt being thrown up by his hand. But I watched the replay a few times and didn't see the glove or helmet move. He didn't touch the helmet. And you can clearly see the hand on the middle of the plate.
Start at 4:16 to see the very next play.
It's funny to me that Cubs fans called him safe, yet for some reason, a Reds fan disagrees.

From that picture that is not CONCLUSIVE evidence that his hand is actually on the plate.
Wrong, no such thing as a tie in baseball. You gotta beat the ball to the base, if you don't, you're out.
He’s out because the ump called him out. And, like I said, he’d be safe if the ump had called him safe because you simply can not tell conclusively where he was tagged or when he touched home plate. It’s not some vast conspiracy to hold the Braves back.
Not saying it's a conspiracy but why have replay in baseball if you aren't going to overturn calls that are clearly incorrect. It's a bad look for MLB.
:FYT:
I’m still waiting on the screenshot that “clearly” shows he was safe.
