Video Review in MLB

[jwwashburn]

Yesterday in the Boston @ Philly game, in the 11th inning, a Pinch Hitter for the Phils hit one a ton. I went out over the Right Field pole...When I say "over", I mean the height of the ball was amazing...much higher than the pole. And, it was close. Jim Joyce called it foul but he did not do it as quickly as they normally do.

Charlie Manuel wanted them to review it and I could see Joyce say we are not going to do that(or words to that effect)

The TV angles that I was showed that it was extremely close but, the replay could not show whether it was fair or foul. Why would they not look at it?

What is the criteria on when you do it and when you don't. It looked like if there were a situation to do it, this was it.
