Replay expansion

[Rice Cube]

It's a bit late but I posted a new blog post about how replay expansion is needed although there would be some issues with how to implement it without disrupting the flow of play.

I'm definitely for getting the call right.

It seems like baseball has more people who want to keep the tradition into the game. I think when advanced statistics are being used with computers to better analyze players, its time to allow replay to be a part of the game. I would support the manager having an electronic challenge flag in the dugout and have 1 or 2 challenges per 9 innings.

I think it should only be used for plays at the bases and HRs. (no fair or foul, except for HRs.)

Maybe they just need better umpires.

And if they're going to go down this road, they should really start by looking to get rid of home plate umpires and have it done electronically.

Better umpires would be nice :lol:

I wouldn't mind the electronic strike zone either.
