MLB Instant Replay: Is it time?

Worst thing about his whole issue, is that it seems highly unlikely that we're going to see it happen during Selig's tenure. He was vehemently opposed to using ANY form of instant replay back in '05 when it was being discussed...and we see how long it took him after that point to even allow what's being allowed now.

As recently as last year he made the same sort of statements about expansion of the instant replay system. Hopefully it won't take another 4-5 years for the RIGHT thing to be done.

Tigers' rally falls short on debated call | tigers.com: News

ATLANTA -- The Tigers forgave one bad call when it ruined a would-be perfect game. They weren't in a forgiving mood with Gary Cederstrom Saturday.

Three weeks after Jim Joyce and Armando Galarraga entered the national spotlight with a missed call at first base, it was a called third strike on Johnny Damon for the final out that left the Tigers disappointed Saturday. This one didn't determine history, but the Tigers believe it might have determined the final score and the end to a bizarre comeback in a 4-3 loss to the Braves.

"The game should've been tied there," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "We should've had [Ramon] Santiago up with a tie game. I mean, that doesn't make the walks excusable or stuff like that, but, you know, you can't miss those pitches. You just

Something needs to happen.....i know i know im whinning and crying. Whatever. Its in EVERY OTHER SPORT!!! except soccer which after this year it needs to. Suck my cock human element, get the call right. At least late in a game where it matters, im over the fucked up no hitter, we won the game. This would have tied the game in the 9th. instead this fuck stick calls a strike to end the game on q 3-2 count with 2 outs bases loaded....

watch the video in the link above......beyond a bad call.

Does no one watch baseball anymore to know that WRONG game changing decisions are being made ( by the human element) in every game. BAD BAD BAD calls in the 2010 LDS's so far.

An ump blew another call in the SF/ATL on a stolen base where the runner was clearly out and it resulted in him scoring later in the inning. Blown calls today: Micheal Youngs check swing where he was given a second chance and hit a 3 run HR, Carl Pavano throwing a pitch right down the fuckin middle to Lance Berkman that should've been strike three and that allowed him to hit the very next pitch for a go ahead double and the blown call at 2B in the SF/ATL game that will probably decide the game. All this and it's only the 2nd day of the playoffs- HOLY SH#T.

Yankees tie game six versus Texas after a ball clearly hits Nick Swisher, the umps don't see it, it goes as a passed ball and ARod runs home with the tying run. Replay showed it obviously hit Swisher, which would put him on first but would not allow ARod to score.

Everyone watching the game on TV knows it was wrong, and it could've easily been corrected. :roll2:

Damn shame the longest game in Pirates history ends on an obviously blown call, and nothing can be done about it per MLB rules. :roll1::pissed:

Instead of all this outcry for instant replay, how about hiring some umps that don't suck or have an agenda? Instant replay should be saved for close or difficult calls, not used as a crutch for incompetence or egomania.

Ignoring the fact that this was posted by a Pirates fan, it shows that from the umps angle it did look like the catcher whiffed on the tag. Granted, from the first TV shot and from most of the stands it slearly looks like the runner was out by a mile, but from the umps angle you can't really fault his call (except if you're a Pirates fan).
