Making the Case for Replay in Baseball

Major League umpire Jim Joyce conducted himself with class and so did pitcher Miguel Galarraga. Read here:

It was Joyce that made a mistake on a bang-bang play at first base that cost Galarraga a perfect game.

Now the time has come for Major League Baseball to stop making the same mistake. Baseball should join the 21st Century and make extensive use of replay.

So far MLB has diddled with replay while saying "no" to the huge improvements more extensive use of replay could bring. Unfortunately Joyce's call could have easily been reversed just as a no goal was reversed last night in the Stanley Cup Finals after a brief replay review. It is time for fans to pressure MLB. Those stubborn fools still unwilling to embrace technology are responsible for denying Galarraga what he earned fair and square.
