Can anyone explain to me why implement this...now? Why not start it at the beginning of a season instead of near the end of the regular season and the beginning of the playoffs?

Who'll hit the first home run under review?

 

[Ramy]

As long as they stay with what they want to do now I am ok with it. The games take long enough as it is now and I don't want to see if dragged out if they start looking at plays at first base or stealing bases.

Me. First of all they'll be reviewing how I even snuck into a uniform, and the field.
