There was one non-replay in the Braves-Mets game the other night that I never posted about, but it was confusing to me. Maybe someone here can explain.
Freddie Freeman was up. He hit a ball that pretty clearly hit off his foot and then deflected to the middle of the infield. Freeman took off running and made it to first base. On replay, it was obviously a foul ball off Freeman's foot--you could even see him grimace/limp as he took his first step, so it wasn't just some weird spin on the ball that caused it to take a strange bounce.
The Mets wanted to review the play, but the umpires wouldn't allow it. The announcers acted like it was a ball-strike call, so it couldn't be reviewed...but wasn't it a foul-fair call? And aren't those reviewable?
