Blatant missed call in the Braves-Brewers game showed how broken MLB’s replay system is

The Atlanta Braves have been on the wrong end of some truly horrible calls in their recent postseason history. In the 2012 NL Wild Card game, the Braves saw a late rally spoiled when the infield fly rule was called on a fly ball to the outfield.

That play wasn’t reviewable and led to a trash-littered Turner Field in Atlanta.

Well, nine years later, the Braves found themselves in disbelief over another obvious missed call. But because MLB has a laughably broken replay system, the umpiring crew was not allowed to overturn a clear missed call in a high-leverage spot of a postseason game.
