I could see certain instances where there would not be agreement between both parties, or maybe I'm being naive.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Only works for calls that would end a game. What if it involved more than one runner, how are you going to juggle that?

Yeah, it was kind of implied that it would have to be for game-ending plays such as this. You can't reverse everything that happens afterward especially if the final outcome of a game changes after that point. That would be highly controversial and messy.
Anyway, instant replay needs to be expanded, even if it is only used for close plays at every base, but not for debating balls and strikes. The time has come.
