Why No Replay Review?

[GoodwillRef]

Like using the reply monitor in NCAA basketball MLB needs to put down some guidelines to when they may us the replay and when they must use the replay...in this situation you have 6 guys and nobody says "lets go take a look at this!"

The picture of the HR in the USA Today shows the fans reaching over the wall and Cruz's glove in the field of play.

OK. So? By itself that doesn't constitute spectator interference. Where's the ball?

The calling umpire judged that it wasn't really close -- the ball was well over the wall. It only looks close if you don't know the rule (or are listening to clowns on TV).

The same umpire that judged that is wasn't close called the other hit a HR.

So? Are you suggesting that a mistake in one case has any bearing on another case? Or maybe that he has poor judgment in every case? I would disagree with both claims.

Ball over the fence. HR. Fan touched glove after ball is dead. Home run.

That's why the umpires need to call the game and not a bunch of cameras and fans.
