Yes or No?

 

I'm a little torn on the matter right now, I think in a way it should be because there were some obvious blown calls (Posey trying to steal 2nd) but it'll lengthen the game. Plus, to what extent is it expanded? I mean is it a manager's challenge? How many per game or is it every stolen base attempt?

 

Seems like a lot of hassle but IMO something needs to be done, maybe it's just the umps and they can't see anymore but the last couple of seasons in baseball has had horrible officiating.

I think it could be expanded to things like the Jeter play, fair or foul...etc. The only way safe and out can be replayed is if you limit it to one challenge a game. Still, most close calls warrant some type of argument. Simply asking for a replay could speed that up.

 

As for the other plays, MLB Umps would have to change their views a bit, like NFL officials. They are much more likely to let a fumble play out than before. At least if you get it wrong you know which team recovered. For the MLB, if it's close to a fair ball they would have to call it fair. That way it plays out and all runners advance like normal. If they deem it foul, everyone can always go back.

 

As for the Jeter type play. It took about 8 seconds to watch a replay to realize that didn't hit him. Meanwhile, Maddon was out there for nearly 3 minutes arguing. If they expand it to these few things, any game with a significant argument will be sped up.

To clarify, I'd be okay if it wasn't expanded as well. Just if they did, I'd like to see the above.

No doubt about it yes.

I would in now way shape or form include balls and strikes but I think it needs to be expanded. The problem is how far do you go?

The same thing was said about football and they figured it out. I have confidence in the MLB to figure out when and where to use it.*

The only play I am OK with reviewing is the fair/foul HR call.

Until someone tells me what MLB is going to consider for review I'm against it.

Fair or foul balls, if a player gets hit by a pitch, diving plays (trapping a ball or not).

 

Then find some way to incorporate steal attempts or plays at first.

 

 

As I said before it sucks to see games end or be decided by bad officiating and it seems that has been the case for the last couple of years in baseball, it needs to be fixed and it needs to be done quick.

Way too many plays. There are no more bad calls today than there were in the 50s,60s,70s,80s, or 90s.

 

It's part of the game.

Completely disagree.

 

And how is that too many plays? It's not like those happen every out or play in baseball.

Which part do you disagree with? More errors today? If I remember correctly you're in your 20s, right?
