Yeah, some sort of challenge system for non-HR calls has to be put in place. It really won't take all that long if it needed to be used.
Can't challenge balls and strikes. But you CAN challenge safe/out, catch/trap, etc.
Each manager gets one challenge, and if they get it right they get an additional challenge until they get one wrong. Simple...and if the umps make THAT many bad calls in one game that all those reviews are needed, it'll be a red flag to the league that those umps suck.
I'm sick of old-timers defending the "human element" when the amount of bad calls has never been worse. Mind, as retarded as the Jim Joyce call was...I do feel bad that his reputation is now tarnished and he may end up receiving death threats. But a challenge system will not only prevent this, but also keep fat fucks like Joe West from taking the game into their own hands and trying to stir shit up just to make a name for himself and try to sell his shitty country album.
