Plans on adding trapped balls in the OF, and bullets down the LF/RF line.
There is no timetable, but the Commissioner said in Jan. it won't happen during the 2012 season or postseason. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...5151065363-996 |

Couldn't they do something like they have in tennis for fair and foul balls down the line?

I can't wait to see how they handle it when a ball that was ruled foul is found to be fair, or a ball that was called a catch is ruled a trap on replay. How will they know how far base runners would have advanced? After all, once the "foul" or "out" call is made, they'll stop running and go back to their bases. The arguments ought to be amazing.

After seeing Flowers throw out two Ranger base runners last night, I'd like to see steal attempts added to the list of reviewable plays. |

I still don't understand why the official scorer can't be used to relay correct calls down to the umps for all calls that are incorrect.

Because the official scorer is provided by the home team.

I'm in the camp that wants to see the correct call every single time, if possible. In the early 1900s they had no choice but to live with human error--nowadays the technology to move away from that is all there, we just choose not to use it. For instance--we see the pitch tracker after every single pitch and can immediatly tell whether it was a ball or strike. Personally I think the botched call that cost Detroit a perfect game a few years back was the beginning of a movement that will eventually result in a dramatic shift as to how games are officiated. If a missed call ever dramatically impacts a World Series, things will get very interesting. |

I'd rather have no technology than risk moving towards a scenario where balls & strikes are called by pitch trax or similar. My worry is that each year another human element to the game will disappear. The fact that mistakes are made (or not made as the case may be) is why some games are still talked about years later.

I can't wait for the day when balls and strikes are called electronically, and element of the vindictive umpire is removed from the game. No teal.

You mean that people don't want to see Joe West call games? Ridiculous!
