I still think they should have "text in your call" promotions -- the most popular during a commercial break wins the call. |
From reading many of the comments to this post, I really hope that replay does not come lower than MLB. Some of you guys would run to the replay for a slightest thing. Let's try and remember, people, we are umpires - it is our job to make the calls not the videos.

IF they put in replay. I still don't think they will. They may experiment a bit with it in a WBC or spring training though. |

Does not matter what any of of think about the call, the original question was why was it not reviewed. I think it was close enough to review and should have been. I have my own opinion about the call itself, but that was not the question.

"I'm not convinced Berkman's shot didn't hit the foulpole."
"It didn't. You could see the shadow clearly in one replay, and the ball's path was unaffected." I'm still not convinced. I only saw one TV replay that was not in line with the foul line and I saw what I thought was a deflection on that replay. The shadow means nothing unless it lets you determine that there was a gap. The ball would still leave a shadow as it touched the FP. The only reason for the RF ump to call it fair was that he thought he saw it touch. Otherwise, it's an obvious foul ball. So what video do you have that convinced the RF ump and the crew that he was wrong? |

The missed home run by Berkman was pretty obvious to everyone but Reynolds. Notice that the Yankees and all their rowdy friends in the bleachers didn't say a peep after seeing the replay on the big screen. Good thing the Rangers laid a 10-3 beat down the Yankees. |

The ball didn't bounce off concrete. It bounced off the top of the padding that is affixed to the wall. |

If we had replay, we'd have to call everything close fair and then go to replay. The game would grind to a halt. |
