Just wondering what you baseball fans think. People will say it will make the games even longer, but it should reduce the number of arguments drastically, don't ya think?
I also think they should use an automated system for balls and strikes.

Ill be open minded. If the replay system is done like football, Ill die. It takes forever and kills the game. Hockey and basketball are far more manageable. And since it wont be for balls and strikes, everything else is pretty obvious with only one look.
And automated balls and strikes is the worst idea ever.
I guess its just the natural evolution of the sport.
I heard couple days ago the A's had a home run replay foul by 0.000001 mil.
Worse than New Coke?Quote:

The way it's set up is dumb though - you get 1 the first 6 innings and 2 from the 7th on; why?
Makes an already slow game even slower. Then again I'm not a big baseball fan so there you have it. But in all fairness the calls need to be correct, so in my opinion....go for it!
We will have to see how this goes next year... I think baseball needs it for certain calls but I hope it doesn't get abused with stupid shit...
lol, Im a coke guy and "new coke" was terrible. Maybe its the second worst idea ever.Quote:

Mangers get 1 challenge in the first 6 innings; 2 from the 7th inning on. You get your challenge back if you are successful and the play is overturned. It's only supposed to take less than 2 minutes. The average argument is longer than that. It might actually speed up the game a little.
Though it might not be as fun with fewer arguments.
