MLB Expands Replay Rule

Friday, 16 August 2013 | by Pat's Picks

In an historic move, Major League Baseball looks like it’s ready to expand the use of instant replay to overturn blown calls. USA Today has a good round-up of the changes: Under the proposal, managers would get three challenges per game, one in the first six innings, and two for the seventh inning or later. Just about everything except for balls and strikes would be subject to review. Believe it or not, MLB says expanded replay should actually speed up the game, since going back to look at a disputed call takes about 90 seconds, and the average argument between a manager and an umpire lasts 3 minutes.
