Most Crucial Replay Overturns of the 2015 MLB Season

Love it or hate it, instant replay is here to stay in baseball.

Per the folks over at Baseball Savant, MLB's replay center has reviewed more than 1,200 plays through Sep. 20, with nearly half of those reviews (49.17 percent) overturning the call made on the field.

That's a lot of overturned replay calls to sift through, and it makes compiling a list such as this not only difficult, but wide open to subjectivity. Fans of a team not represented on this list can certainly find an overturned call that didn't go their team's way and say it belongs on this list. And they wouldn't necessarily be wrong.

For our purposes, I'm defining a "crucial replay overturn" as one that either began (or extended) a losing streak or one that stifled a team's momentum, bringing a lengthy winning streak to an end. Five overturned calls stand out above the rest as the most crucial of the season to date.

Let's take a look at what they are.
