What a game. Classic Yankee's vs Redsox game that goes on forever, score is all over the place, a nail biter to the end.
That being said, it was the first game of the season, and I saw 2 bad calls go against the sox both by the first base umpire. Football has adapted a reviewable call system, coaches challenge. Baseball needs to get with the times and do the same. I'm not saying they need to GPS the balls for an automated strike zone or anything. But if there's questionable calls, coaches need to be able to challenge the call in a civilized manner, the red flag if you will. There also would have to be some kind of penalty to the system if a coaches challenge goes against him (to keep them from challenging everything). A call could cost the team, say an out.
What does everyone else say? Time for BB to get with the times?
