Should "Instant Replay" and allowing managers to challenge calls be allowed in the MLB?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There should totally be instant replays and challenging calls.

This is a very serious, very critical game.

A call could determine a game.

Look at the olympics this past year in beijing.
Two times I can recall instant replays that were needed to make sure who was the deciding winner.
The gold medal race with Michael Phelps and the French team.
The french though he won because the judges made and eye call, but the video showed the true winner.
and the fencing team where it was the last round with Keith Smart versus POZDNYAKOV Stanislav. A judge made an out of bounds call and Keith stopped but Stanislav didn't see it the call and continued the hit and thought he won. Keith told them the judge put his hand up as a call and they replayed the footage and he was out of bounds so the winning hit Stanislav thought he had didn't count. Keith went on and won the silver medal for the USA.

Instant replays are there for the limited ability that our human capabilities are bounded by.

Not to mention not every judge is neutral.
As neutral as they have to be some judges can be very sided.

Challenging calls and instant replays keep umpires, rule keepers, and judges inline.

I think it should be allowed but only once for each team. This is so because although we want to get the most crucial calls right. We don't want to take away the innate and the traditional aspects of the game, so each manager should only have like one chance to appeal for an instant replay challenge.

I think it should be allowed. I works well in the NFL and it could help Baseball as well. No game should have the outcome determined by a bad call if it can be avoided.

This is a no brainer, of course. Baseball is my favorite sport, I probably watch over 100 Met games a year from start to finish, and from watching these blown calls they can be avoided, so simply. Instant replay should be in affect next season, and there should be an umpire in a booth to be in control of this to over rule the bad calls. I don't think this will hurt the game of baseball, but for some reason people think it will. After the blown calls in this years World Series, I think this will be seriously considered.

i think this should be allowed, as i dont think it is fair to leave it up to the refs as the coach is the one that believes and is most probably right on the call that needs to be made.

Mike !

BTW I saw that tonight, i thought it was a good call after the replay.
