Musings from the Bar Stools
Hey man sweet blog! I'm a diehard Brewers and Packers fan and I have a blog too. My writing can be found on The Sports Flow at http://www.thesportsflow.blogspot.com
I was wondering if you'd be interested in exchanging links? Please come by and let me know what you think with a comment or an email.
That's part of why they play 162; so that the inevitable blown calls even themselves out.
Besides, can you imagine 4 hour games?
I have never been one to complain about the length of games where I have to go 
I love blown calls in baseball. Especially when it happens to the Yankees.
Umpires already confer on all kinds of calls. Selig has been trying to get games closer to 2.5 hours, this would start out as a nightmare and probably get no better. I don't personally like the idea at all.
So it is better to be wrong and quick than take 4 minutes and get a obviously wrong call reversed. And I said they could only do it once or twice a game so at most you are adding 10-15 minutes to a gave if all 4 challenges(2 per team)are used. Or only give each manager one then its 10 minutes tops.
As for the attitude of it is good if it happens to the Yankees everyone knows I am the King Yankee hater here but if that had been the Cubs beating the Crew because of that call we would all be going ape shit.
i never understood the limited challenges. On one hand, the argument is that the call should be right now matter what. On the other hand, you're saying the call should be right, but the ability to determine correctness should be limited.
I guess I would say either it should ALWAYS be "right", or ALWAYS be up to human error.
How often does the NFL stick to the time limit by the way?
I am not trying to fix ever bad call but when they are a bad as last night and it could have been fixed with about 3 minutes of effort the camera shot was that conclusive
I have never understood the whole get a baseball game done as fast as possible people bitch about the price of the ticket then complain they are getting too much entertainment for their dollar
i agree about the length, but most people do not. And I understand that replay would have worked well last night, but as with everything you have to deal with unintended consequences. That is what I am concerned with.
I agree there will be the game where they blow it even with the video but I would not mind them trying it in some form hell they made us swallow the DH why not replay
Good post. I agree with both sides of the argument. I feel though that managers should at least get the opportunity to challenge. I don't care how long the game goes - it should be MLB's number one priority to make sure the RIGHT call is made. I'm all for replay, especially on questionable Home Run calls:
