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.

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.

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?

(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:
