Baseball Officiating - Time to Change

[Tim C]

Why, does baseball have to change?

Really, is it THAT bad?

I mean look at football. As I say to my friend HT all the time:

A sport where you see a violation, toss a flag, wait till all the play is done (I mean things going both ways, fumbles, laterals, fumbles again, oh the humanity), blow your whistle.

THEN you get together with your buddies. Talk through it and decide what to call. Oh yeah, I almost forgot -- you can also pick up your flag and put it back in your pocket and say, "Ooops, no flag."

AND the football guys still make errors.

MLB baseball is still the best officated sports in America (that is if you leave out the America's Cup)and you want change.

I like that umpires are still the LAST line of calling.

Read the book "Who Moved the Cheese" -- I am a proponent of change, however, I would hope it would be for the better.

Pete, you're offsides on this one. Errr, "after further review" you're on the wrong station on this one.
