GDT: 7/31/13 Rockies at Braves

Hope the ump makes that up to us. He missed it. And I am sure someone will tell him that replay confirms that the incorrect call was made.

Completely unreal how many calls umps miss. It seems like they get worse and worse every year. Yet nothing is done. I honestly think if MLB wanted to generate more revenue they could fire all the umps and go on the honor system. They'd save money and we'd at worse end up with the same results. Ridiculous.
 
That terrible call ruined the whole inning, stole a run and RBI from Simmons. Plus Simmons was at second and Heyward coming up next if not for it. That crap could cost us this game. That is worse than call against Boston that cost them against Tampa Bay recently.
 
The camera angles and slow motion technology that is being used today warrants some additional extended replays. Why not limit the number of requests that can be made by each team's manager and if a decision is not overturned then it will cost the team challenging the call an out. With the guys in the booth instantly looking at the play then the majority of calls would be overturned if challenged and thereby getting the play called correctly which is what all the fans want.
