Looks like it's going to be like the NFL. Instant replay meaningless if they can't get the call right.

Rounding third and heading for home...
You beat me to it. If you're not going to get it right it'll soon turn Into a joke.Originally Posted by _Sir_Charles_
How do you even go about not getting it right when you're watching a black and white tag in slow motion? And what is there to talk about for five minutes? That was gross and I didn't like it at all.

Gotta run. Enjoy your lazy Sunday fellas.
I'm wondering if the umpire didn't intentionally get that call wrong (it was pretty clear he was out) just so they could go through the motions of the instant replay. And then the replay umpire messed it up by saying he got the call right.

No idea whatsoever. That was terrible.
Yea, those replays were botched.
Also, Costanzo is horrendous.
Barnhart has a nice looking swing.
yup and yup
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
What did you suspect in the age of Budd Lite? I predict it will be like NCAA buckets. They'll take 10 minutes to decide if there should be 1.5 or 1.6 seconds left in a blowout, and then get it wrong.
I just wasn't made for these times.

Word on the internets is that the umps didn't have access to the angle shown on tv.
According to Marty and Thom, the umps didn't have access to the CF camera, which was the one angle that showed the tag. The umps after game said that if they had seen that view, they would have called him out.
In the regular season, the umps would have 12 camera angles. Today, they had three.

Like Selig, I'm in favor of anything that will make the games longer. Wondering how long it will take them to view 12 camera angles.
Per FayBecause it's spring, the umpires had just four angles -- all from static cameras in the ballpark without zoom capabilities -- available to make the call. The fifth angle, which was from the Angels' broadcast, was not available at the time of the call, but came in later and showed the play was called incorrectly.
