What do you think about Major League Baseball adding instant replay?
I think instant replay is a great idea for what they intend to replay…homerun calls. There really are probably only 50 disputed homerun calls a year and since a homerun is such a game changing event I think if they can use instant replay to get the call right they should. They did a study before they instituted instant replay and this year 17 homerun calls would have been reversed/corrected. 17 homeruns while it does not seem like a lot it could have changed quite a few games. This year it seems like there were more disputed calls than I can remember in the past. You would think it would be simple to make a homerun call but because of the configurations of some parks, strange ground rules at some parks, not to mention the distance the umpires are from the outfield fence it can be a very difficult call. One of the main objections to replay is the time it could add to games. Number one there should not be many disputed calls…maybe once a week in all of baseball….so that is not much
