MLB Replay Problems

[David B]

Have to admit that I read it here first - replay will not work in MLB and sure enough seeing three different articles today on ESPN about how frustrated managers are with the system.

I don't watch MLB because its gotten so slow its like watching paint dry, but watching two different games this weekend and the replays take "way way way too long" and then they don't get the call right according to what I was shown on my TV set at home.

I don't think there is a way to fix the system - but they are getting what they want - so be it.

On another note - umpires need to "make their own calls" - my gosh had three games this weekend and in every game a coach is wanting me to appeal a call to the other umpire when it's not only my call to make but I was also sure that the call was correct.

Next thing you know they will be able to appeal ball and strike calls to the base umpires ….

Thanks
