My favorite teams
I see an analyst on TBS saying what I have been saying: Why does the call on the field matter when it comes to replay?
An ump (or ref, as this argument is the same for all sports), 100 feet from the play, seeing it once at full speed from one angle makes a call.
Once it goes to replay, we have an ump who sees it from several angles, with slo-mo and freeze frames. Why do we not want the latter to simply make the call?
Why does "conclusive evidence" come into play? Why does the call on the field factor in at all.
Why not just say - The official in the review booth has the better view, and technology to help. MAKE THE CALL.
God forbid MLB puts any negative slant towards their almighty umpires.....
