How was Harrison Bader called out on this slide into third in the New York Mets’ victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night?
And what’s more: how did the replay NOT overturn the call that Bader was safe despite the bang-bang tag on the play?
I have no good answers for this. What I do know is that the call was that Bader was out despite the fact that it looked like he slid in before the tag was applied and that Mets announcers had the same reaction I did when watching this whole thing unfold.
See if you agree with them and me:
Harrison Bader was ruled out upon review on this play

Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez disagreed with Harrison Bader being called out at third here, a call that was upheld after the Mets challenged it.
