...tell me how many times an umpire calls a strike and 5 seconds later an overhead view shows the ball CLEARLY 6 inches outside the plate.

6" I've never seen that. But then I know what 6" really looks like." ; )


I remember a couple of times it changed the result of the whole game.

Absolutely absurd. How about one of the other pitches that the batter chose not to swing at? That could have been a grandslam.

How about the the fly ball the right fielder didn't catch? That was the win right there.


There isn't any umpire/official/judge that wants replay because it's obvious that they screw up.

No. Many actually like replays. Some who don't feel that since the camera doesn't have the limitations the game or situation may place on the offical (getting screened out, having to sprint with the receivers, being concerned with one's safety, etc.) it doesn't actually reflect what the official "saw".

The flaws in Questec have already been pointed out.

Again, if someone is going to make a mistake, I prefer it to be someone human.
