Does anyone not think that instant replay should be implemented into baseball?

BtownJay · May 22nd, 2008, 10:01 AM

For home runs, yes.

Not for close calls at bases.

Rusty27 · May 22nd, 2008, 10:21 AM

I'd like to see one challange call per manager per game for anything except balls and strikes.

ssigman · May 22nd, 2008, 10:40 AM

i like that idea rusty

BtownBeers · May 22nd, 2008, 10:46 AM

I like what Rusty said as well, however I don't think a challenge should have to be used on questionable home runs, I think they should all be reviewable and I also would want the challenge to be limited as well.

ssigman · May 22nd, 2008, 10:54 AM

that's fine...didn't realize you were the boss of everything

yeesh

Rusty27 · May 22nd, 2008, 10:57 AM

You just have to avoid further slowing down of the game though.

BtownBeers · May 22nd, 2008, 10:58 AM

I never knew an oppinion meant shit..douce

Rusty and homer can be reviewed in far less than a minute.

Rusty27 · May 22nd, 2008, 11:09 AM

If they can do it quick,sure. Based on football,hockey,college BB reviews, it's rarely quick.
Who decides if it's questionable and needs to be reviewed?
OK how about one HR challenge and one general challenge per game?

BtownBeers · May 22nd, 2008, 11:16 AM

I just think all questionable homers shoudl be reviewed, I mean the point of the umps is to call the game the right way and not screw up...if it takes a little bit of time to get it RIGHT then so be it, but clearly last night they determined it was a homer (when reviewed by the announcers) in less than 40 seconds. If its questionable to fair or foul or top of the fence or not then let it be reviewed...the VAST majority of homers don't need to be reivewed so it shouldn't be an issue often, it should just be done right so the call is in fact right.

ssigman · May 22nd, 2008, 11:38 AM

haha i say they review every run like they do with goals in hockey

Rusty27 · May 22nd, 2008, 11:42 AM

How about these for the Umps behind home plate
