If they don't make it a challenge system, managers will be arguing any close call, and the game will end up, possibly, with numerous instances of umpires being forced to guess where a runner "would have" ended up had the call been right in the first place.

I think they should leave the HR's the same - check them if they aren't sure. Any other call would have to be challenged, with a limit of 1 per game, 1 more if the first is right. 1 extra per extra inning if necessary.

I also think they should have a replay official as part of the 5-man crew, rotating. Instead of stopping down and having everyone go watch TV, the replay official would simply rule and let PU know.
