Dick Allen Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Apparently in Tampa last night, the umpires lost track of the count. They took it to the replay guys who got it wrong. Escobar walked, but then struck out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like two years. Forget about this year. Next year he pitches at about 80-85%. The year after is when he should be fully healthy in theory. If you can sign him cheaply next year, with an option for 2016, then you listen. Otherwise, forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have just kept fair/foul hits and traps as plays that could be looked at. I miss the manager/umpire arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The problem with replay has been implementation. There are constantly calls that are clear as day to TV viewers, but MLB won't pull the trigger. If they're going to be incredibly conservative, then just let the umpires talk it out on the field and take video out of it. Or just do it right like every other league.

The Yankees dominate New York and the Giants dominate the Bay Area. Yet, the Sox have a pretty steady foothold in the Chicagoland area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth remembering that this is the first time it's been deployed at a large scale, so it is entirely possible they will make improvements to the process as time goes on.
