Orioles’ Pete Alonso has a request for MLB after controversial call

"We have all the technology, analytics, whatever, funds," Alonso continued. "I don't see why we can't do it, but the reason why I'm told that we can't do it ... is that every ballpark is unique. It's not the same dimensions everywhere."

Alonso said that he was told there had to be two camera angles in order to overturn it, but only one was available. 

It was a frustrating turn of events for Alonso and the Orioles, especially since it was a big momentum shift in the game. 

The Yankees scored a pair of runs in the top of the eighth via a George Lombard Jr. RBI single and Jazz Chisholm Jr. scoring on a wild pitch to take the lead and eventually win the game. 

The Orioles are also fighting to climb their way into the American League Wild Card picture, so every game the rest of the way out will be important. 

Why a change is unlikely, at least right now

Right now, Alonso just wants changes to prevent anything like this from happening.  Orioles manager Craig Albernaz also wants the technology to adapt. 

However, Orioles starter Chris Bassitt, who is also a players' union representative, revealed why that is unlikely at this moment. 

“Because it would cost money. That's it," Bassitt said, via Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun. "I mean, that's literally it. You ask every fan of this game, that's a true fan, every single fan would want those cameras. If you ask every single player, they would want those cameras. If you ask every coach, they want the cameras. It costs money. That's it. That's literally it.”

At the end of the day, it might be something that Rob Manfred and the leagues have to consider going forward.
