Bring Instant Replay to Major League Baseball

Major League has been losing fans for many years. Over the years, the average participation rate of Major League Baseball games has declined. If a major league wants to compete in professional football (NFL), professional basketball (NBA) etc professional sports, we need to adopt some of the technologies that made these sports very successful in recent years. Currently, major leagues have a playing system that determines whether a home run is a fair or a foul, whether the ball has actually left the play field, or whether the ball is disturbed by the audience.

For the first time in 2008, Instant Replay Review of Major League Baseball has expanded significantly before the start of the 2014 season. The fans may be familiar with the scene of the scene, but the picture below shows the story behind the scenes at the Chelsea MLBAM Headquarters Replay Operation Center.

Believe it or not, the immediate reproduction of baseball has been taking place for about 10 years. And with the first iteration in 2008, the referee was able to consider the fair / foul judgment and the interference with the fans' home runs. Traditionists are still complaining about it, but we have reached the point that generations of fans know that they can be helped by technology with the help of the referee. Even after 10 years of scrutiny, the introduction of automated hit zones will make baseball what they have hesitated to call - Blazers. Controlling technology, not to mention learning from the tradition of the past, is a matter of course, any pro league will make a big leap. It was clear that Rob Manfred was considering this issue last year when the US accepted Bob Nightengale's interview.

Please think about that. The existence of real-time replay of professional soccer, baseball, basketball is perfect recognition of human error. Even without an immediate replay, professional judges and referees already have the advantage that the police have not already - after the phone they can negotiate and negotiate with each other . "The police can take away their lives, and how are you comparing this situation with the game?" Some people are angry. Especially under pressure. The problem is how can we put the police into such a crisis situation and strictly pursue their responsibility for rational recognition when we are surrounded by our daily lives?
