Pablius – What you out line is only a start. You propose to add a strike to the count if the challenge is not upheld. What is the penalty if the DEFENSE challenges, a ball added?
You propose three a game with the possibility of a fourth?? That is a possibility of eight reviews. How many “mistakes” do you think occur each MLB game?
If you want to follow the NFL, make it more strict. One challenge per game with one added if the first is correct. If any challenge is not upheld, the manager is ejected, and an out is either added (on offense) or subtracted (on defense). In exchange, you allow ANYTHING to be challenged, except for ball and strike calls on pitches and checked swings. Only one aspect of a play would be able to be reviewed.
The whole replay issue, especially in baseball, is a fool’s errand. Look at college football. They are still “tweaking” their system. For each problem to seek to solve with replay, you create at least one more.
