Good or bad? And would you all want more replay?

[KevinWI]

more replay please

I think replays on balls/strikes is a bit much. But some plays are so wrong it's ridiculous. Dodgers were robbed earlier this year when the 1st basemans foot was a foot off the bag. The runner was called out. I think we need replays for things like that.

People talk about how i will waste more time. Well, think about this. When a manager comes out and argues the call that's probably wasting the same amount of time. Might as well get the call right.

Difference between the manager arguing with the umpire and using the same time to get the call right is that the manager arguing entertains the fans and gets them into the game. While getting the call right requires thumb twiddling and jeopardy music.

No we don't. We need competent umpires and umpires who don't have such an ego that they can't ask for help. That one is so correctable it's unbelievable.

Well, my wife's been pregnant the past 9 months (she just gave birth to our first child last week) so yes, you are correct. TMI?

Congrats. And the lack of sleep isn't going to change anytime soon.

Compromise. Have the manager yell at the umpire WHILE the play is being reviewed. Then depending on the decision they all get to laugh at one or the other. Better than the boring NFL red flag.

Why so umps can keep making horrid decisions and have no recourse?
