This is gonna be a gong show. In the middle of the season....

I've never understood why they didn't use it in this sport. I don't believe in using it for balls and strikes since that is very subjective, but for close plays with force plays or tags, foul balls they should be using it. Mind you if there are sports officials with unjustified monster ego's....It is baseball umpires.

But this is something you implement before the season starts.....They should just finish this year out the way it is and live with it.

I don't like it in theory, but MLB umping might need it.

Great. Now Derek Jeter won't be able to tell the umps what call to make.

I heard on the Fan that it is only for home runs and nothing else.
