And I'm not interested in introducing instant replays into baseball. It stinks but so do many things about my day to day life (maybe one day Hyundai will give me a new Mercedes).

The ump was out of position to make the call because during the play he acted as a spectator watching history which he blew. So "from his angle" is a poor argument as well. <br />Baseball is a difficult game to call, but the human element is part of what makes the game great.<br />Having done it, I have a huge respect for umpires... But, I also have little pity. Same for players, because I've done it.Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858619235019733538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-59629391889229639892010-06-03T15:53:23.125-05:002010-06-03T15:53:23.125-05:00A good tweet I saw:

It is a fact of life. That, combined with the angle made it very difficult.

If they do, every team in the league could come back with complaints about calls and it is likely a lot of games could come in question. What about if the one hit had been in the second inning? Would giving up one hit early possibly cause a pitcher to give up more hits?<br /><br />This is a reason for instant replay in baseball, but it is a scary subject.

It might have been the correct call according to the umpire, but that doesn't make it the right call. And it wasn't even a close call. <br /><br />I was watching a basketball game a few weeks ago and when the game came back from commercial the refs were watching the replay to see if a foul had been committed - like 3 or 4 minutes before.
