Last night Major League Baseball umpires missed three calls in the Yankees vs. Angles game....three calls! Two of which were missed by the same third base umpire. Unfortunately, all of the calls went in favor of the Yankees and against the Angels; naturally it had some people wondering, "Who's paying the umpires?" Not that it would have mattered much in my opinion, the Angels got rocked last night losing 10-1.
Regardless, more and more fans as well as baseball commentators and analysts are pushing for the instant replay to be expanded. I have discussed this topic in one of my previous blogs, but after last night's game many people that were not supporters of instant replay are now thinking it might not be such as bad idea after all. ESPN's baseball analyst, Tim Kurkjian said, "In today's media everyone can see [the missed calls], and baseball is going to have to take a look at this."
