Angels: did you hear about that call [View all]
against Nolan Schanuel of the Angels?
In short: a play in which he reached first when the first baseman dropped the throw was ruled a hit, extending the rookie's on-base streak to 30.
Then the review: not a hit. An error.
Why it matters: " . . . all the positivity surrounding Schanuel and his attempt to break the all-time on-base record to start a career was derailed because of MLB's foolish decision . . . ."
MLB is getting a lot of crap already this season, and from what I hear, it's well-deserved.
