And what is wrong with going to slo-mo replays
I find it a paradox.
There is the motto "get the call right" yet baseball refuses to use the technology available to Get the call right.
Some say that IR will add time to games that are already lasting 3.5 - 4 hours long. When the umpires "huddle" also takes time. Why "huddle" when you can go to the Replay.
We do not know what would have happened but in last nights game 2 calls would have been over-turned if replay were used.
The Matsui CI and Mussina CLEARLY touching the bag before the runner. (BTW Gerry Davis made the call against the Yanks again)
The tradition of baseball went out years ago. The DH Rule, lowering of the mound ,smaller ball-parks, Wild card Teams, Inter-League play to name a few.
Every major sport has replay even Tennis for God's sake so I do not know what the problem is. At least experiment with it in Spring Training.
