this shit is getting out of hand and really soils the spirit of the game

except for a period after the play has determined to have ended but the next play has yet to start

you mean when time out is called?

etc etc

what is the etc? it's not complicated. stay on the bag!

Yeah I hate replay with the fire of a thousand suns but if the guy's tagged while off the bag he should be out, replay or not

i have to say i think replay works pretty goddamn well in baseball, particularly relative to other sports. Hawkeye in tennis is the only system that's better but that's just because the judgment calls are so much simpler.

Hawkeye is great because it's so fast - what does it take, like 10-15 seconds? If MLB replay was fast I'd love it. But it's unbearably slow.

(better than NBA replay though, that's for sure)

the times when the runner's forward motion causes their hand to slide off the bag for 1/20th of a second. in general I hate the idea of using replay to overturn plays that never would've been called that way in real time.

MLB replay system would be a hell of a lot more accurate if the crew in New York didn’t know what the call on the field was.
