Interesting Note (Involving Reds) About Instant Replay
From Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman:
"The Daily Scoop" - Wednesday November 7, 2007 Quote:
What do you think? It seems everyone in the Central except for the Pirates doesn't want instant replay. Any ideas? |

Cardinals voted for it too. As far as why 4 of the Central GM's voted against it, you got me. Maybe they are just staunch supporters of tradition.

they probably figure they win more games based on bad calls than they lose, lol.

Don't like it. I won the "Big Payoff Inning" years back on a Brett Boone HR against the Cubs that was way foul. Marty almost forgot to give me the number.

Re: Interesting Note (Involving Reds) About Instant Replay
I don't know why they would vote against it. From what I hear it was just exploring fair or foul, and homerun calls. What's wrong with that? I know it would be taking it too far if it was on out plays and stuff like that, but this certainly seems reasonable.

Re: Interesting Note (Involving Reds) About Instant Replay
Un-like football, baseball umpires are pros, who get it right. There are always those plays that the field call blows, but the # umpires get right is staggering, when compared to NFL refs. As a game that develops much slower than Football, added delays will slow it down even more. I could agree with limited use of re-play, but these decisions have a way of preparing for further impingements. Was he under the tag on a steal attempt? Did the ball get there before the runner? If so, did the player make the tag in time? Was the pitch too high to be called a strike? The pitcher balked, or did he? My head is starting to hurt..

Re: Interesting Note (Involving Reds) About Instant Replay
As an umpire, I am for limited use of instant replay because my main goal is to get the call right...
