Then my next question would be do they know the rules that apply to the calls they consider "close" or not. In other words are they giving the tie to the runner and calling the umpire wrong based on a lack of knowledge of the rule. And the inconclusive also puzzled me. If you have as high as 13% you cannot determine, then what are you going to do if a close call that "changes the game" is not conclusive and you have no replay to back up either way? This is why baseball really needs to stay away from replay for no other reason they will not have cameras for all plays during the regular season.

Now they are supposed to do this for the other sports. I am going to love their position on the sports and the media is really clueless when it comes to other sports. Close plays in baseball are mostly either/or calls. Not that way in other sports where there is much more nuance to the calls.

Peace
