Do You Need Glasses?

No! No! There is an 11th Commandment that says, There shall not be instant replay in baseball. And it may be numbered #11 but it is by far and away the most important.

That being said it is frustrating to watch two long balls hit in the post season that are not ruled as home runs. Matt Holliday put one over the fence, even over the railing, in the one game playoff against the Padres and ended up with a double. The ball clearly hit a seat and bounced back onto the field. The umpires missed the call. Last night, Manny punched one just over the yellow line on the outfield fence. The ball bounced back onto the field. The umpires didn't rule it a home run and Manny in a home run trot (growl!) was held to a single.
