WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 The ABS system appeared to hit a rare glitch during the Athletics\u2019 game against the New York Yankees on Saturday night.<\/p>

A pitch to A\u2019s catcher Shea Langeliers in the fourth inning was confirmed as a strike even though the replay showed it missed the zone by a little less than an inch.<\/p>\n

The call in question came in the fourth inning of the 6-4 win by the Athletics<\/a> when Ryan Weathers threw a 2-0 pitch that was called a strike. Langeliers immediately challenged the call because he thought the pitch was low.<\/p>\n

After a short delay, home plate umpire Adam Beck announced that the pitch was confirmed as a strike and the A\u2019s lost their challenge. But the replay on MLB.com<\/a> showed the pitch was 0.8 inches low and should have been called a ball. It ended up being mostly moot as Langeliers eventually drew a walk although the A\u2019s did lose one challenge.<\/p>

\u201cThe explanation on the field was the umpires were told from the communication upstairs, the controller of the ABS, that the call was confirmed,\u201d A\u2019s manager Mark Kotsay said after the game.<\/p>\n

Kotsay said the A\u2019s got to see the replay at the end of the inning on the iPad in the dugout, which is standard, and saw that it should have been called a ball. Kotsay went out to talk to the umpires between innings but was unable to get the challenge back.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, they don\u2019t have access to the iPad,\u201d Kotsay said. \u201cThey only have access to the information they\u2019re being told through their ear piece. That\u2019s something we need clarified through the league and we will have that conversation with the league.\u201d<\/p>
