    The Baseball Replay Redux

    By Brett Zarda Posted on 8.27.2008 3 Comments

    Can’t say we didn’t try. When we saw the proposed instant replay plan for Major League Baseball in June we pleaded with Bud Selig to reconsider. Heck, we even gave him a blueprint for how to get it right. Apparently, Bud wasn’t listening. As of this Thursday, MLB will implement its weak excuse for instant replay.

    I'm not real sure what the point of this article is. I played ball most of my life and I believe that part of the game is umpire error. Plays are unpredictable and unless it's a very poor ump, usually work out evenly for both teams. The only major flaw is when an umpire standing in the infield has difficulty seeing a home run which is completely understandable. There are too many questionable calls in baseball to possibly review every out. I think he nailed it with the decision and the game will be better for it.

    It's about time someone on here explained all this. We discussed the topic in my high school physics class a number of years ago. Most people that I explain it to don't believe me. The myth of weightlessness is so ingrained in their minds that they can't let go of it. I usually try to use Newton's Orbital Cannon model to explain it. Now I'll just show them this.
