The biggest problem with potential replay, the league will not spend the money to put the same camera angles at all games. So a play at certain bases will be missed or be inconclusive like football. But football has a clock and the game is going to eventually end. Baseball you have no idea when that takes place and play can continue after a close play. And if someone is called out by replay and then runners advance, then what will you do with those runners? I think this is why MLB has not gone to replay because it will open up an entire can of worms. In college basketball they were able to review things like elbow contact and if a player should be called for a Flagrant foul. All I heard was commentators complain about how long those things took or that they took place at all for review. I can see where if they get the call right on replay that the delays will be a constant conversation. It is not like baseball is going to enforce any other speed up rules that take place at other levels so that these delays will not affect how long a game will really take.
