To all you sports fan out there, here is the request of the day - Should the Mlb use instant replay like the Nba and Nfl?
For my plan on the subject, just ask the San Diego Padres. Last night, the Padres and the Colorado Rockies faced off for the National League Wild Card. The game was an absolute nail biter, coming down to the bottom of the 13th. The Padres took a 2-run lead into the bottom part of the inning, bringing in windup legend Trevor Hoffman to seal the deal. But, like they have done all season, the Rockies fought back and at last won the game on a close play at the plate - a certainly close play. So much so that the umpire certainly had to guess whether or not the runner was safe. Unfortunately, he guessed wrong. Replays clearly show that Barrett, the Padres' catcher blocked off the plate so that even Matt Holiday's head-first slide couldn't get him there.
So, now the Padres' have to go home for the off-season and relive that moment. If the umpire had made the accurate call, who knows? Maybe the Padres would have won the game, thereby manufacture the playoffs and holding their World Series dreams alive. But alas, it was not so.
That is why it is certainly imperative for the Mlb commish to think implementing instant replay. The Nfl and Nba have both turned to instant replay with much success. So, why shouldn't baseball consequent suit. It is the only way to know what certainly happens.
There are those who say that using cameras and instant replays to make calls is unnatural and ruins the beauty of the game. But, without it America's pastime will continue to be riddled with controversial and downright incorrect calls.
