What Was He Thinking??

The bottom line is this

Bud Seileg needs to get his head out of his you know what and simply adopt replay.

IR will not slow the game down. In fact it might even speed-up the game. Look what happened here.

We had the umpires huddle which took time. Then we had a call reversal. Then an ensuing argument by the D-backs manager.

IR clearly showed the runner out and would have saved 5 minutes or so.

Also, FWIW there needs to be some accountability for umpires at the professional level but unfortunately MLB dosn't care. They do not take part in the development of umpires. It looks like U1 was asleep, then all of a sudden he said to himself "oh s**t I have to make a call"
