Change Baseball Instant Replay?

[coloradobuff]

After an ump blew a call in Sunday's Mets/Giants game that cost the Giants the game, its time to give each manager one challenge for any play involving a catch or at a base or plate.

Being twins fan, i remember twins getting screwed on play at plate at oakland..If there was instant replay or challenge available twins may have won that game and they wouldnt have needed game 163 vs detroit.

For those of you who think games are long enough as is, this would only add a couple minutes tops.

Are you in favor of adding more instant replay or giving mgrs a challenge?

First get rid of the DH and let AL managers manage....

I say no to instant replay...

Not just a call Buff, the ump (s) blew three blatant calls in the ninth inning alone.
Cuzzy is another of a long line of umps that need to be evaluated, maybe replaced by fresher umpires that have paid their dues down on the farm.
Cuzzy blew ball and strike calls in the ninth, blew the 'safe'call that would have won SF the game in the ninth at home plate, then later in the ninth got overruled (wrongly) by the third base ump on a fair/foul call.

Not to mention, Cuzzy forgot the count more than once that game.
I'm sorry, but if you are the home plate umpire, priority one is to know the count.
Even the Mets booth chastised the umpiring all game, and Thorne is usually a broadcaster that doesn't do that.

If there was a way to replace umps with lasers and other computer technology I'd sign off on it in a heart beat.
But for now, it is clearly evident instant replay is imperative, because these people have no clue as to what they are doing.
