I never thought I'd say this...

...but we have got to get some kind of instant replay in baseball. At least for the playoffs. This is getting out of hand.

seriously

You watch that clip, it takes 2 seconds to figure out he is safe

Funny but I'm starting to agree with you. Wow the whole post season has sucked for umpires.

Baseball would be easiest sport to implement and rule via replay system.

No reason to not have replay in baseball.

It wouldn't be that easy. How long would it take to make decisions? Pitchers having to stand out there for 2-3 minutes waiting is a big problem. Then they want warm-up pitches? And it not, there could be injuries. Never going to happen.

just have another ump in the truck and let him watch the replay immediately . he calls down to the field and the change is made within 15 seconds .

Wouldnt take 2-3 minutes.......more like 30-60 or less for most plays.

Not like football.....did whistle blow? QB arm going forward? where is ball on field? how much time on clock? forward progress? 20 players in pile to hide ball?

Baseball would be very simple. Plays at bases on replay would be simple and 99.99% accurate via replay.

Absolutely ridiculous for baseball to not have replay with technology and everyone in world knowing when calls are missed via the millions of television viewers. Impossible to umpire to correctly call every play at bases, fan interference, fair/foul.

Too much $$$ with these games to not have obvious errors corrected.
