Robbery in Braves Game

[ballsweat]

Played ov 9.5. Game is 6-2 in the Top of the 9th. Chipper on 1st. McCann hits a ball to right that hits the base of the pole. Umps rule it ground rule double. Replay was close enough to review. Bobby Cox requests it and the umps deny the request.

Game over and the under is in.

Announcers and replay show it as a home run.

I havent looked into the new rule but the umps can deny a request? Doesnt that defeat the purpose of a reveiw?

The announcers said a replay is requested not demanded and yes, it can be denied.
