Instant Replay

So, If your team happens to be playing the first game of a series on Thursday, don't be surprised to find out that Instant Replay will be in effect for that game.


1. The Umpires are part of the game. They say the will only use replay for fair/foul calls, but once you use it for that, why not use it for safe/out calls. And once you use it for that, why don't you just replace the umpires with a machine that calls balls and strikes? The game is great because umpires are humans, and sometimes they screw up a call, but more times than not, they get the call right. So don't mess with it.

2. We all like to see the managers argue. That's another part of the game. Don't take that away from us.

3. You can't change rules in the middle of a season. If it was the post-season, which still wouldn't make sense, it would be okay. But just picking a random day to use replay doesn't make sense.


But at least they're only using it for home run calls-so far. Hopefully it stays that way.
