There should be instant replay for the post season.

No, replay should not, because it wouldn't be practical. Play does not stop when there are multiple runners and one of the runners is called "out." If a replay showed the call was not correct, what are you going to do, play imaginary baseball and place runners where you think they would have ended up based on what you think the defense or offense would have done had the runner been called "safe"?
Once a batted ball is declared "foul," play stops because the ball is dead. Are you going to have runners continuing around the bases "just in case"?

No way. Baseball is a sport where there should never be replays. What are you going to do? Every pitch play it back on a screen to see if the umpires made the right call? That's ridiculous.

No, not for balls in strikes at all. The game is made to be played with a little fluctuation in the strike zone. If we had replay then the phrase "painting the corner" would be eliminated. The fluctuation in the strike zone gives the game an exciting twist. On the other hand i believe that in playoff situations, i believe that replays should be used on, on the field calls. Such as a close play at the plate. When the stakes are higher then the calls should be as close to perfect as possible

As in taped replay? NO NO NO!!! The umpire is part of the game and close call and strikes and ball decisions are just part of the game. We can all think of a bunch of decisions that were incorrect, close calls the umpire missed but it's part of the charm of baseball. This isn't brain surgery, mistakes aren't fatal. It is yet another mirror of baseball and life.

I would say no for 2 reasons. First and foremost give credit to the umpires who get the call right over 98% of the time and keep in mind the biggest complaint of non baseball fans is the speed of the game now you want to slow it down more and risk losing more fans, just doesn't sound like a logical decision.

No way. I don't even like the fact that umpires confer on plays more now than ever. I want umpires to make their mistakes and then I can either yell at the TV when it goes against my team or jump up and down reveling in their stupidity when it goes for my team and feel like a big man for even a few short minutes.

No... it would take too long to play the game. Football already takes 4 hours b/c of replay.

I would say no to the replay even when i hate to see teams lose key games to a bad call.

No.
That is part of baseball's charm. Sure the umpires are human, and sometimes make the bad call. But 9 times out of 10 they are right.
Baseball should do everything in it's power to remain unique form other sports.

NO
never ever keep it real
if you want replay head over to the NFL- the No Fun League, where the game drags on and on, due to ever single minor infraction that could possibly happen
