Let's go back to the "golden age of baseball" and we had an internet Forum and I posted the following.
Wouldn't it be great if baseball adopted a DH for F1 and we split the divisions so that we have wild card teams etc. etc.
The response to that Post "back in the day" would be received the way my post is being received, yet look what happend.
Regardless of what you or other posters think about IR, eventually baseball will have some form of it. It's happened in other sports and baseball will eventually "cave in" ESPECIALLY if the Players union vote it in.
Therefore when baseball finally adopts some form of replay what will you say then.

What do you want us to say?
"Boy, that Pete sure was smart."
"Yep, he was the only one ever to think instant replay was coming to baseball"
"Fer sure, and now that its here, ya know something? It's freaking great!"
Look, Pete, I don't think many believe baseball will never approve some form of IR. However, that doesn't make it a good thing.
MLB approved of the increasing use of the huddle to "get the call right". That doesn't make it a good thing. As often as not, it gets the call wrong.
So in short, when it comes, you won't be the oracle, just another fan supporting a bad idea.
