Instant replay in MLB????

Anybody see where the Phillies got tooled by a bad call? A three run homer was called a foul ball. They lost by a run. Replay showed it was fair.

They could be out of the playoffs because of that call. We will know in less than a week.

I think Baseball should put Instant replay into action for calls like this. Not balls and strikes certainly, and maybe not even outs at the bases.

It's a slippery slope. Sometimes the calls go your way. Sometimes they don't. Which calls do you make 'reviewable'?

Over 162 games, it should even out. Noone gets knocked out of playoff contention because of a single game.

Sure glad that there's no instant replay in Sex. I'm sure I would look bad at times.

No instant replay. Leave it like it is. Freaking games are long enough and they are right a lot more than they are wrong.

dribbler towards the mound!

this should get good!
Stike one, strike 2 Ball 1, strii.... fuck it I'm done!
it's a dinger!
the squeeze play is on.....safe at home!
He walks on 4 straight balls! Ouch.

Curtis tried to give her the slider, which ended up being a passed ball. No one scored though.

Whatever it takes to get both the Padres and the Dodgers into the play-offs is okay with me. Oh yea, looked like a foul ball to me.

How about the playoffs last year when the angels got fucked on the foul tip against the white sox. Instant replay would have helped that situation. I don't think that MLB should use replay in the reg season but it could be helpful for the playoffs. As it was mentioned earlier in the thread one call in the regular season shouldn't "make or break" the whole season. However after working hard all year to make the playoffs MLB should give those teams the courtesy (don't know if thats the right word for it, maybe "respect") of making sure the calls are right. Thats BS foul tip after the ump signals out and the team was running off the field changed the picture for the angels. As would a HR in the playoffs that was called foul.

I believe the only thing that should be re-viewable would be fair or foul, or out or safe... No balls and strikes! Don't know where last years fuck up would fit in... but i think they need something for the post season that would help ensure teams don't get screwed on a call after working hard all year.

Not even an angel fan (born in mass... red sox for life!), but they got fucked last year. I just don't like seeing good teams get screwed (except the Yankees) in the post season. It happened so much in the NFL they put a program into place... if the problem continues in MLB you can bet they will come up with something! As for reg season fuck ups... suck it up and deal with it. There are 162 games a year, if you miss the playoffs by one game, maybe you shouldn't have lost that nail bitter to the cubs (or any other sub-par team).

just my 2 cents
