LLWS Video on last play?

Wouldn't this be sweet...the championship game ends on the play I posted above. Celebratory pandemonium breaks loose. Some kids are screaming, some kids are crying, some are piling up in the infield, the fans are going wild and the television announcers are spouting their usual analytical drivel...

Wait! get 'em back out on the field! The game's not over! The officials we've chosen to call our most important game aren't able to get the most basic routine call right!

And if you say that is an unlikely scenario...then you're saying that reviewing the final play of the game, no matter how routine or obvious, is redundant.

The calling them back after the last play already happened in this series.

Do you really want the game to end on a disputed call?

No. What I think is silly is to just automatically review a non-disputed call.

But it is what it is and it's their game and they can do what they want with it. I'm just throwing out an opinion on a high-profile policy involving a hobby I enjoy (umpiring).

When it comes right down to it, on the "This Gets Me Worked Up" scale, it registers about the same as what you posted earlier..."So what?".

And it doesn't change the pace of the game unless it's a real close one. In fact, with some of the changes they're making to the nets this year, the reviews will be completed even quicker.

So...this relates to baseball how?
