Hate it. Along with instant replay in its current model (more)
Extra Innings: I may be okay with it if you start a runner on second in the 12th inning or so, but not right out the gate. And only in the regular season.
Instant Replay: My original stance when it first came out was that the only reviewable play should be "HR or not". That's the only call where an ump isn't within a few feet of the play. At every call on a base, an umpire is right there looking at it. Unlike football where the nearest referee may be 20 yards away. I get wanting to make the right call, but how often is the right call not even made any more after replay? Back to the Braves loss to the Phillies on 4/11. His foot clearly never touched the plate, and the safe call was upheld. Also, being a former pitcher, these replays take so long. I'm sure the pitchers absolutely hate sitting there waiting 5 minutes in between pitches.
