No matter when a guy gets thrown “out” people will complain.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

MLB Replay is sad. The goal is obvious, to always protect the "integrity" of Umpires. The same group that allows Angel Hernandez to trot out and negatively impact at least 162 games a year.

 

Angel Hernandez is Doug Harvey compared to this idiot Homeplate empire tonight.

Why isn’t Yelich batting 3? Get a high obp guy like Gamel in the two hole so Cain can steal bases still. Yelich needs to have more guys on base.

Who do you want Gamel to start over?

 

Braun needs a lot of time off. I would bet Gamel starts half the year as such

Start Gamel and one of Braun, Cain or Yelich is on the bench. Which one would you bench in favor of Gamel?

Unless Braun is hurt, Gamel will not start half of the games for Braun.

No doubt baseball's officials are the Good Ol' Boys Club in all sports. Always looking out for each other. And that is why baseball replay sucks.

While 100% accurate my question would be why allow replay if you aren't going to consider reversing the incorrect close calls? If that isn't even a consideration why even have it? Unless Joe West, CB Bucknor, or Angel Hernandez are gracing the games we can expect consistently accurate calls on 1st through 3rd (balls/strikes is a different animal in and of itself). Just get rid of replay if you aren't going to overrule non-egregious missed calls.

it's amazing how last year and this year (through 1 replay), the Brewers often have botched calls that look favorable for overturning, but replay doesn't change them. Then when other teams challenge close plays that look like they should be obviously stand, the umps also overturn them. It seems like we're double-losers with replay.

Look I wish braun would return to form, but at this point even when heathy it’s debatable who will be better vs. RHP. I would imagine that is what Stearns was thinking when he acquired him no?

Becuase run estimators indicate a team's best hitter batting 2nd typically results in more runs scored over the course of season.
