The player who would have scored scored anyway. I doubt they let the player on first score on a review. It wouldn't have made a difference really.

He thought Kwan walked also. He had no idea that Kwan recorded an out later in the AB.

Omg you're clueless.. The umpire made the call already unless the coach challenges that call they are going to keep it as is period unless of course the home plate umpire saw something clearly different which obviously wasn't the case. Anyway I'm done, got better things to do at this point. Argue away

What am I clueless about exactly? Saying the umpires can initiate a review without a challenge? They can. It happens all the time. You're a fricking moron if you're arguing that.

You didn't see it live. The live camera was blocked by the stands. You saw it in a slow motion replay.
You named everyone not involved in the game anyway. Because a fan watching on TV thought it was fair, and because the announcer commented on the replay, the umpire, who called it foul, should have stopped the game? The third base coach for OSU called it foul as well. You think the ump is going to waste time on what everyone on the field thought was the correct call? I disagree, but I'm certainly biased.
When the coaches have an opportunity to call for a review, it seems to pointless to blame the umpires.

I'm willing to bet money that you don't watch any baseball outside of LSU. They don't even really have full blown replay in college during the regular season. So I'm willing to bet that you don't know much about the baseball replay system and how it works.
You can disagree with my point and that's fine, but the fact of the matter is that the umps very easily could have called for a replay of that call in that moment. I literally saw it happen in a Blue Jays game the other night on a ball that was honestly about 20-25 feet foul. Took them 5 seconds but after one look they realized they got the call right. It happens. All the time.
I am biased as well, but I understand what that the umpires could have easily reviewed it without a challenge. I also realize the OSU coach was dumb for not arguing more to force them to review it.

I didn't say otherwise. I'm saying I don't necessarily think they should have, other than based on the call being wrong in hindsight. I even added italics to the word should in my first response to you. The fact that they could have initiated the review has not been argued from me. Not once.

This is exactly right. The umpire closest to the action made the call, no one except ESPN said a thing about it. Unless another umpire with a better view then the original umpire saw something different, that original call will and should remain.

Everyone on the field thought it was foul. Dups, OSU's 3rd base coach, the umps. No one is going to call for a review of a play that everyone in the field agrees 100% was correct.
How hard is that to comprehend?

I don't see how this helps your argument? You just admitted that the two replay systems are different and is more advanced in pro ball in which case they may have looked at it in pro ball. This is college though. These umpires have been close to pro ball I'll give it that. I'm really pleased with how the games are being called so for. I don't think ESPN biased should come into play in our college game and that's basically what we have here.

Not even a baseball fan, but...
Let's say that gets the double. They score a point, man on second. We walked three more, they still lose 3-2 or whatever.
It's foul. We walk three, and they still lose 3-1. Thanks, k, bye.
