"The tie goes to the runner" died with instant replay, and I think that is sad. If you need multiple super slow-motion angles to determine if they were out or safe, it should be a tie, in my opinion.

I also just say watch every angle at full speed for those types of replay, no slow-mo. Keeps the magic, but let's you correct egregious calls.



Tie goes to the runner was never in the rules.


And that's what makes baseball awesome.

Everyone knows the tie goes to the runner but it's not an official rule apparently.

The soul of baseball is in the squishy parts. Quantifying the life out of it is not a good idea.
