THE ONLY GOOD ARGUMENT AGAINST INSTANT REPLAY IN BASEBALL.

THE ONLY GOOD ARGUMENT AGAINST INSTANT REPLAY IN BASEBALL. I posted here about the bad call by an umpire which cost Armando Gallaraga a perfect game as yet another argument for more use of instant replay in baseball. If you don’t follow baseball closely, you should know that the umpire who made the call, Jim Joyce, was voted the best umpire in a poll of 100 major league players taken after the call. Of course, if the best umpire missed an important call, it is a dramatic argument for instant replay. Nevertheless, the poll contains a good argument against instant replay. The players don’t want it. In the poll 77% were opposed to using instant replay for calls at the bases.
