MLB Expanding Replay

[cabiness42]

Obviously I'm very interested to see how this gets implemented. It's not that easy in all cases.

 

Here you go:

 

Bases loaded, 1 out. Ball hit to right center, line drive, medium depth. Guy on 3rd stays at 3rd to tag. Guy on 2nd takes off towards 3rd and is at 3rd when ball reaches fielder. Guy on 1st hangs at first only a few feet off the bag.

 

Ball appears to be trapped and is called a trap in real time. Guy from 3rd and 2nd score, guy on 1st makes 2nd.

 

Replay shows it was a catch. So there's 2 outs.

 

Tell me where the baserunners end up. Tell me how many runs score.

 

You're playing complete make-believe baseball, which is tough. Would the guy on 2nd have made it back to 2nd before a throw beat him? If you say no, would he have been out before the runner on 3rd got in to score? Did he tag up correctly? Is that now reviewable on top of the already reviewed catch? What if he was a few few off the base at 3rd. He never went back to tag, but he didn't need to because he was reacting to the no catch ruling.

 

Good luck.

 

There are just some plays that can't be reviewable and will become a bigger clusterf*** than just going with what happened on the field.

 

Trap/catch may be one of the situations that isn't going to be reviewable.

Trap/catch may be one of the situations that isn't going to be reviewable.

Or at least not with runners on. I'd say you could pull it off with no one on. You either reverse it to an out, or it was clearly going to be a single (possibly double).
