Most of my family was at my house last evening for a birthday party. My brother-in-laws, father-in-law, and nephew were watching the game. In all of our opinion's the runner was out. When the Angels manager came out to ask for a review, I told everyone to not be surprised when the replay official reversed the call on the field. None of them could believe it. Neither did wash. I agree that the new rule and interpretion is complete BS.
