After watching umpires miss several home runs this year because they don’t understand that if a ball bounces up in the air it has hit on top of the wall not off the wall (where it would bounce down), I say its bout time.

Oh good, one more mechanism for delaying what is already America’s slowest moving sport. Maybe next, they’ll vote in Nap Time between innings.

Lol.

How about having a play clock for the pitching. Oh wait, that would put too much pressure on the pitcher and make the game too exciting. We can't have that now can we ;)

As long as they will play over and over again the replay of a bad call so that everyone in America except for the refs are in on the outrage is what forced the NFL’s hand. Why should MLB be any different?
