    How hard is it to slide into a base normally and keep a leg or hand on it?

    Every steal, every double goes to reply due to oversliding. Wrecking the game. Never seen this poor of baserunning before.

    it's always been this way. now, with that slow-motion replay they can catch it. just wasn't called before. shouldn't be now. should have stuck with fair or foul home run overrules only. next will be balls and strikes.

      Totally agree. The fact the guy comes off the base for a millisecond, and can be called out for it is ridiculous. It's been happening for 150 years, and now that there are slow-motion replays they get called out. I don't like it.

      I do wish they would implement the robots though for balls and strikes. No reason that shouldn't be done.

        What if a guy pulled a Robbie Alomar and spit in the face of the robot, causing it to short circuit?

          With robots in place, Roberto Alomar wouldn't dare spit into their face.

          You've seen the kind of damage a Robocop can do.
