Nevin on the play at the plate tonight: “I’m just really confused on how this replay system works. Get rid of it. These umpires are really good. Let them work the game.”

1. Love it, and agree fully honestly.

2. I feel like this is going to be divisive all around.
   But I think we at least need better camera angles… we always seam to have something in front of the good angle

3. Umpires make tons of awful calls. No way in hell you get rid of replay.

4. Umpires has been bad all around this season, this is not the defense he should be looking for. This is on MLB’s officiating/play by play system. There’s no reason why a manager should be confused as to how the replay system works. MLB needs to be more transparent with their calls. Every other sport seem to have their play-by-play together, and MLB is decades behind.

5. We have been getting the raw end of replays this year, but good lord Phil just no haha

6. They need to have cameras with top down angles on every base. It’s been almost two decades since replay became official when HR reviews were allowed so it wasn’t necessary yet but the fact that we are still stuck with similiar replay angles when compared to the day reviews expanded….it’s hot garbage. Why are we still using these angles where umps block the view/players body blocks the play from being clear etc..?? MLB has been too busy dicking around with pace of play (yes i believe they need to be moved to 20-25 seconds in all situations. Baseball is a thinking game, so 15 seconds is too short.) so I hope theyfinally drop that and address this

7. I think he’s saying we have gotten screwed multiple times in similar situations and then tonight they go completely against how they typically do reviews

8. don’t go backward ignorantly. go forward intelligently.

9. All I’m asking is to show the evidence if you have definitive proof to overturn the call

10. He says a lot of dumb stuff, but this one takes the cake

11. What would the alternative situation been had he been ruled safe? Tryong to remember. Renfroe safe at 2nd, two outs, Angels up 1-0, Padlo up?
