instant replay does not belong in regular season baseball

[thetrinity]

162 games that take forever now take even longer. pitchers stalling on close plays waiting for the dugout etc.

this is not football that plays less then 10 percent of the same amount of games where 1 bad call can determine an entire season.

[boeing power]

Umps were making too many mistakes.

It's 2014, use the technology.

Come on OP.

[thetrinity]

only way id remotely be in favor of this is if this call center in new york had complete control and instantly was able to say the umps blew it. none of these nfl like challenges.

[boeing power]

I'm not saying the new system is 100% foolproof but something had to change.

It was becoming a joke.

[thetrinity]

the useless stalling is the real problem with the system. needs to be taken out of the managers hands.

[boeing power]

I think it will get better as they become more comfortable with it.

Best thing that happened to baseball

Takes 3 min a replay vs 10 min of sharades by manager getting tossed and throwing his cap kicking dirt. Takes less time and the call is right.

took 5 minutes and they still ****** up a call in the pirate game. plus the managers bitchin at the umps is one of the best parts of the game and now thats basically gone.

[crustyme]

what a moronic thread.

[Jayvegas420]

That's an infraction Crusty.

[frogsrangers]

It doesn't belong in baseball period

i agree on the part about the managers bitching at the umps is now pretty much forever gone. now we will never see that happen again, which sucks. nothing like lou piniella or buck showalter giving the ump an ear full.

[ACoochy]

Early nomination 4 dumbest thread of year...

[crustyme]

whats even more moronic is op is a pirates fan and they were the beneficiary of 2 reviews (both went their way) on opening day. without those they probably lose.

i'd rather 90% of bad calls get overturned than none at all.

Agree with this one, the manager taking a "childish" fit for something that no one is going to change their mind on takes a lot longer than a replay.

Reversed a call that could've killed the mets rally today...yea the old way is much better (was on cincy myself btw)

[Emancipator]

Thats because they do it wrong they need to put an ump in front of some cameras when a review is asked for. Give em a time limit and it will go even faster.

[byronbb]

They should just go all the way and stick the umps into a box with all the camera angles and just call the game sitting on their asses. Keep the guy behind the plate obviously.
