If Crews had initially been called out, would the review have overturned the call?

Yes

Difficult to say. Hard to understand how he didn't tag him in the torso area but you clearly see the tag in the crotch area after his hand touches the plate. Did it brush his jersey? I don't know but I'm glad they called him safe not that we wouldn't have won anyway.

None of the replays were in as good of a position nor had the proper angle as the Home Plate Ump. So its a tossup BUT they’d likely (99%) have let the call on the field stand.

That said Crews was safe, the Catcher didn't make the tag initially until Crews was touching home plate.

I believe I see Crews flex his chest muscles to avoid the tag, thus making his own jersey ruffle as the glove misses him.

I noticed it as well. The "jersey control" Crews displayed there will be taught at baseball camps everywhere!

Ive just seen them stick with a call when its even close to questionable, so thats what i assume here

Yes, the confirmed the correct call was made. They didn’t just leave the call because it wasn’t clear enough.

Crews was safe; the replay clearly shows this from multiple angles.

Thank you, I kept wondering why the broadcast was going back to the bad view and only teased the good one twice or so. I said out as I watched it, but props to that ump, great call. And yeah home plate was so dirty I stopped questioning balls and strikes because who the hell can tell.
