Should this call be overturned?

[Mr Nobody]

Floodgates and all. I bet die-hards have laundry lists of calls they would want reversed. And what about seeing a game live, then having the outcome changed days later. Cities would burn to the ground.

I have experienced a reversed call, I slowly made my way out of the stadium taking alternate routes to avoid confrontation.

I say most defiantly. I watched this game yesterday and couldn't believe that call

A true conservative would NEVER agree to the changing of a call after it's already been recorded in the books.

If the coach argues and the umpire then changes his mind on the spot, that's one thing, but not after the game has already been declared final. 

It's one thing to change an error to the fielder's choice the following day, but you absolutely cannot change a ball into a strike, regardless of what the replay shows.

You liberal.

Shouldn't overturn it.  human mistakes by umps is part of the game......now if baseball wanted to start using instant replay on them, that would be a different story.

Precisely. 

If each team was allowed a 'coach's challenge' that used video replay, then a coach could challenge that call within the rules. 

But what if he'd used his challenge already?  Too bad. 

But as it stands, there is no video challenge in baseball, so we live with the game with the rules as written.

I'm surprised to see so many staunch wannabe conservatives revealing themselves to be such liberals here.

exactly.  baseball never adopted what football and basketball has.  The ump made a big mistake but it IS part of the game of baseball.  It's to bad but so are alot of things like that.

I agree...baseball goes down the road of faggetry instant replay, red flag tossin pussies and thats the day I give up on all sports....baseball is my fav sport for this very reason. I praise Selig for standing ground and NOT opening the floodgates to future "replays". Maybe I'm just old skool

Pfft. Definitely. Defiantly. Same thing.  

[Mr Nobody]

A call is a call.

'Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.'

Sounds like a Hemingway novel. Astroturf sucks but desingnated hitter if we didnt have that Boog Powell would have been in trouble.

[Mr Nobody]

I drop loads on supermodels faces.  I don't have time to read this horseshit.

PTPS dawg

[Palpatine Q]

Overturning it opens a whole can of worms...every time there is a bad call at a big moment in a game in any sport, people will want it "overturned".

Tough luck for that kid but thems the breaks. shit happens
