Keep instant replay in football where it belongs and don't bring it to our game. Baseball has been played for over 100 years without instant replay and we don't need it now. Umpires have never been perfect. That's part of the beauty of the game. Janice Forte: I think it’s the TV network that gets the calls wrong when their diagram shows the ball outside the zone.

]]> Comment on Mets fans should root for the Phillies by Coley Ward http://umpbump.com/press/2009/10/27/mets-fans-should-root-for-the-phillies/comment-page-1/#comment-61851 Coley Ward Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:45:19 +0000 http://umpbump.com/press/?p=6969#comment-61851 Janice, I think it's important to recognize that the pitch trackers that Fox and TBS use are not necessarily accurate. But you're right that, if a sport like tennis can embrace technology that accurately tells when a serve is in or out, it's getting harder to stomach that baseball won't adopt technology that would better call balls and strikes. Especially in light of all the missed calls this offseason. At least, that's how I feel.

Last night it was a disgrace. I think that at least for the World Series they should have instant replay. Why show us the diagram if they are allowing the Ump to decide. Why do we need a Home Plate Ump when his call is wrong according to the diagram. It's just not right.
