On the subject of "Balls & Strikes", I think this fits.

said by Mats :Yes it would suck but I really dont think you want balls/strikes being able to be challenged. The last inning of a close game would have every pitch being challenged. Yeah, I don't know what a good solution is...especially for balls and strikes...if they did implement some sort of challenge then I would like to see it like they do in football...you only get a few challengers and if your wrong for challenging you pay a penalty for your challenge request/interruption of the game. |

said by Fobulous :yes they should do it.. i don't follow baseball that much but i do watch the playoffs . i noticed the both TBS and FOX have their own version of strike box.. and quiet a few times the umpire would get the wrong call.. a ball that was clearly in the strike zone..do you think they can review this and complain to the officials later? Sometimes a strike really changes the game.. How about this regarding balls and strikes?....Each manager will be given a maximum of 5 challenges per game for a ball or strike call and if a manager challenges and is wrong the batter is automatically OUT regardless of the count. Let the strike box thing you mentioned TV uses to determine if the pitch was a ball or a strike. |

Exactly. They get a certain amount. Again, most challenges would probably take less 2 minutes to deal with.
Also, coaches wouldn't be challenging every ball/strike as it would annoy EVERYONE and I doubt they would get anywhere challenging a computer |

What about all the time outs these teams play? There was one game in this series where the Yankee's catcher went up to talk to the pitcher before every pitch. I understand the need for communication but there needs to be a limit.
