If they had reversed the play the other day where they called Salvy out, yesterday's call would have less reaction from Matheny.

If there is an angle that is straight down the third base line, you could probably tell if Gallagher made a tag yesterday.

If you showed all replays from both plays to a group of fans, players and umps and did not say what the original calls were and said choose which one of these plays should be called safe and which one should be called out, Salvy looked to touch home plate with his hand before any tag.

If all the ballparks are wired for nextgen stats and can tell pitch spin rates and catch probabilites, they should have enough camera angles to rule those plays more definitively on replay.

The only way Salvy was really out is if the loose laces of the catcher's mitt barely touched him before he touched home.

And it is jot just a rare example. In a Phillies Braves game the other day there was a play at the plate where the runner clearly never touched home plate but was called safe. And it was upheld in New York. The runner was clearly out.

And there have been several other examples from all over baseball already with only 1/4th of the season in the books.
