1. No

2. Lol didn't he just throw a bat at pitcher a few weeks ago. Wait maybe another Robles

3. I thought the Umpires looked at a TV to make a call if it's challenged.
   New York makes that call not the ump's is BS.

4. It was ruled HBP…. if it was ruled foul ball, it probably would have stayed a foul ball.

   You cannot see where his index finger is when the ball hits it. His index finger could be flush with the bat…thus the ball hitting both at the same time, or his finger could even be a millimeter in front of the bat, thus the ball hitting his fingers a fraction of a second sooner……

   The FACT is, we just can't see what the ball hits first. It could have hit his finger, pushed his finger back and then hit the bat. The ball is blocking the view.. making it impossible to overturn the call.

   So it's a FACT that we will never know if it was the correct call…unless we get a good side angle of the play. Anyone PRETENDING to know whether it was the correct call or not, it just salty or bias Mariners fan.

5. Sorry new to baseball, if the ball hits the bat it’s a foul ball right? In that case, no, this call is wrong

6. Foul ball…… blown call

7. Terrible call and I care nothing about these two teams.

8. No but the game still going

9. Definitely a fall ball

10. Horrible call. As a Yankees fan knowing Aaron judge will win the mvp, I want the tigers to win

11. Was not a HBP

12. Wouldn’t that be a strike right?

13. in the big picture it doesn't really matter, the Mariners can't capitalize the opportunity in that inning

14. I was just watching that I’m happy the Mariners won

15. Geez his hand has to be shattered

16. Yes, clearly HBP. He moved backwards

17. Out

18. Its hard to tell if his index finger was between the bat and and ball, its being blocked by the ball in the camera so they didn’t get enough evidence to overturn the call

19. The empire was black. He should have helped his brother.

20. It didn’t matter cause the Mariners didn’t score in that inning

21. Didnt effect the outcome of the game because it didnt turn into a score so it doesnt really matter much.

22. It clearly hits him in the fist lol

23. No but it didn’t matter

24. Ya, would matter more if they won in that inning..GO Tridents!

25. It obviously hit the bat first, based on how it deflected down. Also, how can it be HBP if he’s got his hand out to bunt?

26. 그냥 파울~~~~

27. Why have challenges when the people in New York still can’t get it right with slo mo and different angles. How can everyone in the world see it but they can’t? Vegas wins again 💰

28. Whats weird is whenever someone tries to bunt vs the Tigers they end up getting hit by pitch (like the dude who's face was destroyed by Skubal). I am thinking they are told to do this but why? Stupid if they are…just seems too regular to be a coincidence.

29. It hit his finger before the bat

30. Of course AJ immediately supported the tigers 😂

31. Didn’t change the outcome, doesn’t matter

32. Foul ball

33. He still had the bunt out, that’s a strike

34. The call was right bec they couldnt tell where the index finger was

35. Hit the bat

36. Changed directions

37. In the park I was sure it was HBP but at home definitely bat first. Didn't matter anyway

38. This call had no effect on the game because Detroit ended up getting the outs they needed regardless

39. Sure ….great call

40. Should be a hit

41. It definitely hit the bat first.
