What do I don't understand about replay? Wouldn't it have to show 100% clarity to overturn the call?

At best, either way, that was inconclusive. 

Yes, which is why I’m using the term “umpire nullification”.  The umps are ignoring the standard and just ruling what they think actually happened.

Replay doesn't matter. We wouldn't have driven in the run anyway

So why are they wasting my time on it?

[HeavenlyHalos]

My god, that was a god damn strike too. We really need to get rid of the human element, these guys suck ass

[cals]

For reference, jury nullification is when a jury rules contrary to the evidence because they have an ulterior motive or are going with their guts/hearts and not going by the legal standards presented and the evidence.

[beatlesrule]

Will be interesting to see this umps score card tomorrow.

[PattyD22]

That sure looked like a strike from my seats.  

[HeavenlyHalos]

and now he can't find the strike zone. I hate umps

Very sad

[Waybackman]

Angels relievers aren’t very good at throwing strikes.

They aren't very good at anything but he did strike out Upton and got effed on the call

Maybe it didn’t but if the call on the field is a HBP they need definitive proof it didn’t.  The standard isn’t “we don’t think it hit him”.

I'm not arguing for the umpires at all because 99% of them blow, but I was under the impression that New York had camera angles that they view that are different and/or aren't available to the telecast? So they can actually see plays in different angles than the ones they show on TV. However they blow replay calls all the time anyway so who knows. 

Someone brought up a scuff mark on his helmet, I didn't see that but can always go back and look.

If I can see the scuff, then no doubt they should have seen it.

I’ve heard this too, but too often it seems like they rule wha they think the “right call” is. But that’s not their job.

You could be a replay ump in NY!

[Stradling]

The last replay they showed of the HBP showed the ball change direction when it hit him 

[AngelsFaninGA]

Duffy's last two at-bats explain why he has like 3 RBI's all season

[beatlesrule]

My virtual hat is on backwards for rally time!

[cals]

[CaliAngel]

Well there is a mark on the helmet, I don't see how nobody on the field pointed this out. 

[Waybackman]

Marsh with 2 strikes . . . 

[AngelsFaninGA]

Also Marsh needs to be sent down

[Angelsjunky]

I'm sick of watching Marsh bat. He's the worst hitter on the team right now, or at least right there with Velazquez.
