Ball 4? No, foul tip! Umps totally missed an unreviewable call that led to Mariners win

Umps whiffed on this one.

It wasn’t a great Opening Day for James Karinchak and the Cleveland Guardians.

Let’s go to the eighth inning. It was a 0-0 game with the Seattle Mariners up to bat. Karinchak was on the mound and faced J.P. Crawford on a 3-2 count. Crawford appeared to take a pitch for ball four while checking his swing and was awarded first base.

But replay showed he actually foul-tipped it. It should have been right back to a 3-2 count and Crawford at the plate. Instead, he walked to first. Then, things unraveled: Kolten Wong got hit by a pitch … and Ty France blasted a home run. And apparently it wasn’t reviewable by replay.

What’s more: Karinchak committed a pitch-clock violation in the middle of Crawford’s at-bat. Not great!
