And I know where you're coming from about the replays. Game is slow enough already. But...

I like that it corrects obviously missed calls. As long as they keep it from being too much of a drag on the game, I'm in favor of it. Plus, I think we'll see the computer taking over calling balls and strikes in our lifetime. Not saying I'm a big fan of that either, but the strike zone is etched in stone and easily identified by technology, as is whether or not the pitch passes through it. So I think it will happen. Probably minor leagues first, but eventually The Show too.
I think the problem is that the strike zone is not the same for every batter. It changes based on the height of the batter. So, the rules would need to be changed to use technology.
