All the challenges are reviewed by someone at the Commissioner's Office in NYC.
That person makes the final decision.
I need to somehow get this job!

And Abreu stepped on his foot, not first base, so he was out anyway.
Hosmer also never touched the bag. I thought the foot was technically part of the bag if it is on it?

I did and I disagree.
I saw a lot of white on the viewer's left side of that base. Hosmer was way over stumbling by the right side. All he had to do was stick his foot to the left side of the base.
Great catch by Garcia. Glad to see he's improving out in the pasture of right field.
Again, Abreu wasn't looking I don't know think. Hosmer does that step to his left side way too much and it got him that time. When running down the line as fast as you can it isn't that easy to move your body that quickly to avoid someone's foot that shouldn't be there.

Glad Hosmer and Abreu both didn't get hurt. Don't really know what Abreu was doing in stepping on his foot.
did you watch the replay? Hosmer got in Abreu's way so Abreu covered his head because he thought the ball was coming at him and didn't see Hosmer's foot. He didn't do it on purpose but I would place blame on Hosmer before Abreu
Simply pathetic by the coaching staff and Robin. I have seen managers walk out slowly to talk with an ump and wait for a signal by the bench to either challenge or not and Robin doesn't even do anything?? He was clearly off the bag and even Boston saw it and pointed at the bag before he was called out
I didn't really watch him pitch last year because I was pretty much pissed and done by the time he got to pitch but from what I have seen, he doesn't have anything special and I am not sure why everyone was so excited about him
