EXACTLY. :rolleyes:

One change that will occur after replay is introduced: umpires will stop calling borderline cases foul. They'll call it fair and wait for the replay officials to clean up the mess.

Hell, I aint wading through all that muck. I'll take your word for it.

[QUOTE=GarthB]He should have said "those calls that are traditionally considered to be reversible calls" instead of "judgment calls."

Actually, he was fired immediately following last Friday's game, which is why I stated I'd rather listen to him than that idiot McCarver.

[QUOTE=bob jenkins]Bob,

This already happened this year, but without replay involved. Third base umpire Randy Marsh (cc) called a ground ball down the third base line foul that Plate Umpire Angel Hernandez--surprise, surprise, huh?--came out and changed to a fair ball. Whether the ball was actually fair or foul is, IMHO, irrelevant--it was really impossible to tell via replay. The umpires huddled together and decided to award the batter a hit. I don't recall the particulars--someone correct me if I'm wrong here--but I think they placed the B-R on second.

I can tell you this much: I was told by my friend that the call should have remained foul once Marsh ruled it such, regardless of whether it was, in reality, fair. I suppose the fact that Angel was involved doesn't surprise many of us.

No argument from me...I was on the field working a tournament on Friday, Saturday and Sunday...so I didn't hear about it until yesterday morning...I guess I thought I heard that FOX was announcing the firing yesterday...but if it was Friday, so be it. He's still T-O-A-S-T.

OK, I'm lost. Whom are we talking about, and what did he do?

Roar of the LYONS
 

(1) Ex-FOX Broadcaster Steve Lyons
(2) He got fired for saying allegedly racist comments about Latinos (Hispanic-Americans) on air during Friday's broadcast.

Whether the comments were "racist" or not is certainly being debated. For instance check out:

Thanks, LU. Now I'm in the loop.
