I suspect they will allow additional challenges in extra-inning games -- maybe one for every two or three extra innings.

That's not the current policy as I understand it. If a manager has used his two after-the-7th-inning challenges, c'est la vie. So he'd better use those judiciously.

Just wait until an extra-inning game gets decided by a blown call in a playoff series.

My guess: Since there are fewer games at one time during the playoffs, all calls (or at least all extra-inning calls) will be reviewed as they happen from the central location. Similar to the NFL where there's a challenge during the first 28 minutes of each half, but only "booth reviews" during the last two minutes (or whatever the specifics are).

So, maybe they'll change it should that happen. But don't you think that was already discussed during the negotiations before they rolled this out?

Just keep on of the challenges in your pocket. Not rocket science.
