I made a call this summer on a HR ball that was way over the foul pole. Very difficult call. I called it fair and did not back down even though the defensive manager came out to argue. But if replay had been available, I would have used it. Chances are it would have confirmed my call, but it takes away any doubt.

1. Because it slows down the game and shouldn't be used when not necessary. It's the crew's call when to use it, not the manager's.
2. This one wasn't difficult.
