Well, maybe not soon.

The GMs voted 25-5 in favor of implementing such a system to help in determining home runs, fair/foul calls, and fan interference. Next steps are to get approval from team owners, the MLBPA, and the umpires.

Like I said, maybe not so soon.

I have mixed feelings about bringing instant replay to baseball. On the one hand, I’d like to see the right call made (can we extend this to non-tags at home plate?). On the other, does the game really need to be any slower than it already is?

I mean, I’ll sit at the ballpark all day because I’m a freak who really would rather be no place else, but a lot of folks have actual lives and don’t want to sit around waiting for some guy up in a booth to watch a replay.

Maybe this is just my inner curmudgeon speaking and my concerns are unfounded. I guess if replay works in the NFL, it could work in baseball.

Put me in the “undecided” camp for now. What do you think?
