The Marlins should be protesting the result, as the rules clearly state that 1) if a batter is hit by a strike, it's a strike, not HBP, (and the ump called it strike 3 THEN said HBP), and 2) replay of the game can happen if it's deemed the call affected the protesting team's chance to win the game.....and I'd say ending the game in a loss on a blow strike 3 HBP call constitutes affecting the chance to win the game.

And we may end up losing the game regardless on the next batter, but to lose in that fashion is absurd.

Not only that, they got together and talked about it AND reviewed it and still didn't get it right - as the Mets broadcasters said, what's the point of replay if you don't get it right? The guy leaned into the pitch too.

Unfortunately, what they'll say is that the hand movement of Kulpa starting to ring up Conforto means nothing HBP is ultimately what they went with on the field and the pitch was never officially called a strike.

lol such a marlins start to the year capped off by yesterdays beauty where there is a hole in the rule that doesn't allow them to replay an obvious missed call. ridiculous.

When I was watching the game yesterday, I was like I swear I watched a game where they reviewed whether a batter leaned into a pitch and came back and said he did. Turns out I was thinking of a college game I had watched recently. Yes they have the ability to review this in college baseball but not the MLB. Ridiculous.

Right now the hope rests on the two Diaz finding their swing and a trio from the Harrison/Sanchez/Bleday/Scott/Encarnacion/Misner/Burdick to come good.

Here are the parameters of the TV deal:

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald now reports it’s a seven-year deal that pays just over $50MM annually.

So our payroll is basically covered by the TV deal but we still can't sign free agents?

why do we fuck around with replay if mlb refuses to use it to get calls right? dude was off the bag - it's not complicated.

This series, I've learned MLB rules are just suggestions applied as they feel like it at the time as long as it goes against the Marlins.

It's a very Marlins thing to do to lose the first two and then beat deGrom.
