Ok, after Jim Joyce's horrific blunder last night, its now evident that baseball needs replay ASAP.

Here is a simple proposal..

Give each team 1 replay challenge. If the manager wins his challenge, he keeps it..

Games are long enough as is..Whats an extra 5 minutes?

What you think?

I'm in, after the playoffs last year and the nonsense this year (3 bad calls yesterday), it's time to take advantage of today's technology.

I think the problem is, They Don't even want to give a Baseball game another 5 Mins.

Teams like Yankees & Red Sox with find a way to take that 5mins and turn it into 30mins...lol Ala Joe West @):mad:

I like the one challenge, but never balls & strikes.

challenges for replay doesn't solve the problem.....so if an ump fucks up in the 1st inning, then you're screwed the rest of the game? I really don't like this in the NFL either. College football has a good solution in that all plays are reviewed by a replay official. Most times you can figure out if an ump is right or wrong before the next pitch is ever thrown. There aren't really that many plays during a game that warrant replay either. This wouldn't stop play very much. Obviously, replay is needed in situations that cost someone a perfect game, playoff series, or worse - as the Cardinals found out in 1985 - a WORLD SERIES!

I'm in for everything except balls and strikes.

If we go the route of manager challenges, I say two for each per game. If he wins both, he gets another.

this will not prolong the game any more than a deliberate pitcher, the catcher going to the mound 15x for some teams, changing pitchers for every batter, a batter doing some weird shit for 15+ seconds before every pitch.

damn, we could have a replay resolved between pitches when Ichiro is batting. There are some pitchers that have a 30+ second routine before every pitch.
