Accountability - if using a super slo mo frame by frame view from an angle the Ref wasn't privy to in the first place - well that is misplaced accountability.
The League and the Networks need to be on the same page here. Otherwise it's a friggen joke - with the Network driving the micromanagement train.
I'll be honest here. Yesterday I watched the umpteenth replay of Galaraga's 28 out Perfect Game that wasn't.
It was the FIRST time I've seen the view from the Umpires view - where he might have thought that sno-cone meant Galaraga didn't have control of the ball.
Umpires are used to "pop-thud" and in that case there was no "pop". Still, he'd have to drop the ball to make me call an otherwise out - safe.
