Going to be an interesting offseason.

Sorry for the super late reply but it was on MLB-N. Rosenthal was on the panel and they were talking about the Phillies success and such. He mentioned Machado and/or Trout are a definite for them and he said it very seriously so it's credible. We all know Philly has the big money to spend this offseason so it's very possible.

Cubs-Reds delayed as expected. I'm betting there's another postponement with a doubleheader tomorrow.

EDIT: 7:40 Central time first pitch according to @Reds.

Jammed his foot/big toe off the wall Wednesday. Tore something in the toe and hyper extended his foot.

He's had a decent start to the season. Their best defensive OF. This 1s going to hurt

Re: 5/7 - 5/20 Game Discussion Thread

Ridiculous. Can we get rid of replay?


Apparently that was the 189th OVERTURNED replay this year.

And we are still in May.......

I'm behind on this Braves game, so I'm just going to say... dat replay system doe.

They get like less than 35% of their challenges overturned. That is incredulous.

EDIT: To add onto what kehlis said, I heard only about 50% of all challenges have been overturned this year. That number seems really strange. I get that sometimes managers say: "Hey let's just try it out and see what they say." You'd think though that if they're getting the green light to do so often enough that it's because it's something that was called incorrectly. And frankly, it mostly is incorrectly called but they aren't doing anything about it at NY.

There needs to be much, much more transparency with this system, or the explanation of the calls on the field (even if they stand). Umpires aren't even bothering looking at the scoreboard replay themselves anymore because they know their opinion means jack squat. It's like turning a blind eye to this entire thing.

Exactly.
Every manager is asking for a challenge because they saw video replay that made it obvious the call should be overturned.

And we sit at home, see these same replays and all think, yep it's getting overturned.

But here we are, and 50% of the time it's not. The system is broken.

Great post...I'd like it again if I could. I don't think it will happen, but I would hope the outcry gets so great they have to revamp it. It really shouldn't be this hard.

Personally, I wish they would do away with the "centralized" replay center have it all done at the ball park with a 5th umpire sitting up in a booth. In fact, here is really what I'd like to see:

- The 5th umpire sits in a booth and is constant communication with each umpire on the field (and vice versa). He is essentially a part of the crew with all of the camera feeds in front of him. If an umpire on the field isn't sure about a call, he asks the 5th umpire for help (this is all done without walking over to a head piece/ear phone). The 5th umpire reviews it quickly and makes the best call possible which is then made on the field.

- If at any point a field umpire has made a call and a manager wants to appeal to the 5th umpire, they can ask for that (just like a manger walking out and asking an umpire to get help). There is no limit, no gimmicky number...just, hey, can you check with the booth on that call? The field up then asks the booth ump and it either stands or is reversed.

I think this system would be seamless 95% of the time. Sure, there would be a bang-bang play that the booth ump has to analyze for a minute or so, but as long as the field umps had a signal that made it clear to everyone in the park that they have signaled the booth to review I think it would be fine.
