I think it's a problem worth solving...the problem is the solutions are bad

in baseball they review things that rarely matter. With all the analytics, I'd like to see stats on the number of times an overturned call leads to a run being scored or not scored that inning. The number of outs at second on steals where the runner loses contact with the bag for a split second after easily beating the throw is maddening.

On the other hand, terrible strike zones (I'm looking at you Angel) completely impact a game. I'd rather see electronic balls and strikes and get rid of the on-base challenges.

No. We need to get rid of replay. Period. ** -- CPRVHokie 01/18/2020 08:58AM

Definitely one of those "seemed like a good idea at the time" things. -- PhotoHokieNC 01/18/2020 08:49AM

If it takes 5 minutes to overturn a call, it’s useless. I’m OK with replay -- reestuart 01/18/2020 08:45AM

Of course. The argument for it is very rational. Meanwhile, it’s ruining -- CPRVHokie 01/18/2020 08:59AM

Yep. They still can’t get it right every time. ** -- reestuart 01/18/2020 09:43AM
