Baseball not using instant replay is retarded. The wildcard worked. Interleague play worked. Instant replay will work. [censored] being traditional; traditional sucks.

It would slow the games down too much.

Yes, lets have the umps have little conferences and chat it up cause that's so much faster.

Instant reply would be used a lot more often than umpires confer with one another. At least, that's how I'd assume it would work.

However, I've always ignored conjecture about how it would work in MLB. Would it be an NFLesque system, or would umpires have the opportunity to use it if they think its necessary? Would there be a limit to how many times it is to be used, i.e. 4/game?

I suppose I'll google this.

There is no instant replay in MLB so there are no rules. I'm sure there are plenty of different proposals thrown out there ranging from checking every pitch, to only checking homeruns.
