Baseball Games To Get Even More Unwatchable

[BMan]

I haven't watched a MLB game in years, but checked out this article. If they're going to interrupt the game to challenge called pitches, an already slow game is going to seem interminable.

Read the last sentence of my post. Let me know if you're still confused.

If they bring it to college baseball why even need umpires? Let's take them all away and make it the honor system. If no agreement just check the ABS board then or heck even every pitch. There's so much video for replay if they don't agree on the base path if someone was safe or out or if a ball was fair or foul just check the replay.

All of the above said with sarcasm but that seems to be where it's headed.

This has been tested in minors for a while. And was used in spring training. Each team gets 2 challenges, if you win you keep your challenge. Pitcher, catcher or batter must make the challenge immediately, like 2 seconds. Just red that in 288 spring training games it added on average a whopping 57 seconds.

It's a quick process. There's no discussion or having to look at multiple angles. It's either in or out.
