INSTANT REPLAY



Major League Baseball over the last couple of years has instituted an instant replay feature ONLY for homeruns. I don't like it. It's not necessary. Look, I get what it's trying to do and MLB executives want the managers and players to stop crying when a call doesn't go their way so they try to make everyone happy with an instant replay. Unlike football though, rules for baseball have barely changed over the last hundred years or so. Football instituted instant replay because the pace of the game is a lot faster than it used to be and the officials sometimes have a hard time keeping up with it so they need cameras to help them out. The rules in the NFL have changed about every year and it is a game of inches all over the field. So the percentage of making a mistake is pretty high therefore instant replay is a reasonable solution. I just don't like how instant replay has taken away from that human error part of baseball and kind of makes the umpires feel insecure, as they should. I want the integrity of baseball maintained and no more instant replay. Even if that means 2 or 3 less homeruns for my favorite team a year. I can handle it.
