My replay ideas are better than Bud's and always will be.

Friday, August 16, 2013  My replay ideas are better than Bud's.

Buddy has embraced review of plays, you now instant replay.  Keep in mind that everyone EXCEPT the umpires has been reviewing plays for years and drawing their own conclusions.

Fifth umpire to review plays in one minute...

Within one minute of the end of a play I've seen enough replays to determine:
- the call was correct
- the call was incorrect
- I can't tell...

Under the proposed review system it's my understanding that the manager may either argue a call or use a challenge.  He may not both argue AND challenge.  Why the heck is the manager allowed on the field at all, including all those stupid meetings with the pitcher by him or the pitching coach?  Old guys dressed in a baseball costume waddling out onto the field.  Get them the heck out of there...

Would replays in ball parks cause riots?  ...

During an NFL exhibition game yesterday announcers mentioned that for the 2012 regular season  replays seen by officials during a review would be played on the big screen in the stadium so that attending fans would see what the officials see simultaneously.

Apparently, no fear of a riot.
