They're going to get plays wrong and we're all going to see them on super slow-motion and not 1 time bang/bang at real time. Hopefully the umpire's union can hold off replay as long as possible.

The percentage of plays that they get right are still very, very high.

As we all know, we're the only ones on the field who are expected to be perfect every time.
