Baseball games do seriously need fair replay system

Baseball games do seriously need fair replay system


It is really a tough nut to deal with disputed call. Similar things have happened more than one time. Does it the fault of the umpiring in rockies jerseys or just a fact as seen? This is really a tough thing for teams and players.


The Rays will tell you something. One year after several umpiring mistakes in the postseason prompted calls for an expanded use of video replay, the issue returned to the forefront before the first game was finished. On Thursday, Rays Manager Joe Maddon in florida marlins jersey — whose team lost out on the first disputed call — advocated increased replay, and predicted baseball would eventually adopt it.


Meanwhile, the Rays without logo in marlins jersey ended with another in the last inning of the last game at Target Field. “Those two plays in particular are going to speed up, expedite the discussion,” houston astros jersey wearer Maddon said before his team lost Game 2 to Texas. “I think you’re going to see something in the near future, possibly even in the next season. I’m sure it’s going to be well thought out.”


Yeah, the Rays lost two games against the Rangers. Fans including astros jerseys lovers will also have a good understanding of the Rangers. They have no such good records in their history. Plus, they wearing dodger jersey are inexperience in this style of postseason game. By comparison, the Rays had its worst time in its history. Something is really changed?


Talking of Game 1, Rays’ first baseman dodgers jerseys wearer Carlos Pena contended that a Cliff Lee pitch grazed his right hand with one out and the bases loaded. Pena, who wears padded batting gloves, did not react dramatically or head toward first base. Lee in milwaukee brewers jersey and catcher Bengie Molina who are fond of wearing casual sportswear of brewers jerseys both said they heard a sound, and the plate umpire Tim Welke ruled that the ball hit Pena’s bat.


However, the video may not be that. Television replays were inconclusive. Pena struck out, the Rays without logo in mets jerseys did not score, and Lee went on to strike out 10 over seven innings in a 5-1 victory.


Similar thing has been seen in the game of Minnesota vs Yankees. Hours later and about 1,600 miles to the northwest, Mariano Rivera in new york mets jersey was trying to protect a 6-4 Yankees lead against Minnesota with two out and none on in the ninth. The Twins’ Delmon Young lined a ball to right field, where Greg Golson, a defensive replacement, lunged for an apparent game-ending shoestring catch.

Television replays appeared to show that Golson wearing phillies jerseys caught it cleanly, but the right-field umpire Chris Guccione thought he trapped it. The Yankees argued, the umpires huddled, and the call stood. That brought up Jim Thome, who is eighth on the career home run list, as the potential tying run


Every ball and call is really making a difference in baseball games. It may change a team’s best performance. Just as Joe Girardi said that the game might change the complexion of the series. It is really time calls for fair replay system.
