The guy who does home plate then goes upstairs the next day and just makes calls automatically. No challenges or staring at small TV's. Of course, that would be 15-17 new umpires at 150k per, and no way does Bud or the owners do that. kt1000https://www.blogger.com/profile/08119453717717924501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075251516543448143.post-39416995766758283382013-05-09T10:43:30.245-07:002013-05-09T10:43:30.245-07:00This is sort of an ancillary concern with replay i...This is sort of an ancillary concern with replay in baseball (and hopefully you'll forgive me for being a bit of a Contrarian on this), but could balls and strikes be something that would ever be feasible under video review? When it is something obvious--like Joe Nathan "strike out" to end a game against the Rangers last month--it would be very useful, but if replay were ever put into use the way it has been in hockey and football, I could see that being very controversial.<br /><br />RaiderUtenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075251516543448143.post-87853372497264729422013-05-09T10:26:18.176-07:002013-05-09T10:26:18.176-07:00That's right from what I've read.

The bigger problem is not having access to multiple angles & the ability to slow down & zoom in on replays. kt1000https://www.blogger.com/profile/08119453717717924501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075251516543448143.post-31013014467952588922013-05-09T08:48:58.573-07:002013-05-09T08:48:58.573-07:00The problem is Kris the way I understand it, peopl...The problem is Kris the way I understand it, people in New York aren't directing Hernandez like they do in hockey. He's just using their video feed and making the decision himself. 49er16https://www.blogger.com/profile/07480858283150569377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075251516543448143.post-83690669345921921582013-05-09T08:33:20.746-07:002013-05-09T08:33:20.746-07:002 things here:

Having people watching in New York is pretty similar to the NHL model where all the replay calls are made in Toronto, which works well.<br />2. IIRC, the umps don't see the replays in slow mo, they have to watch the replays at live speed. And that ball last night was very tough to call at regular speed.<br /><br />But still, fuck Angel Hernandez.kt1000https://www.blogger.com/profile/08119453717717924501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075251516543448143.post-54962822795131182942013-05-09T07:57:33.385-07:002013-05-09T07:57:33.385-07:00I honestly wouldn't put it past Hernandez to p...I honestly wouldn't put it past Hernandez to pull something like that.
