Default Re: Instant Replay In Baseball...

The thing that is pushing the need for replay is the fact the umpires are getting worse and worse with getting it right. A lot of that has to do with the HD tv and slow motion closeups making it easier for fans to see the problems. The only way to do a full replay system in baseball is to have a replay official in the the booth reviewing plays as they happen. The replay official can figure it out before the next pitch is even thrown and can signal down to the umpire crew chief of the overruling. No umpires will need to leave the field of play and spend 5 minutes watching a replay. It would also be nice if MLB started publishing the punishment of umpires when they screw up. They have no problem letting the world know about a player's suspension or fine but umpires seem to skate by when they screw up on a regular basis. If they held umpires to a higher standard maybe the calls will start to become correct and the whole replay issues goes away.
