After seeing left-field umpire Phil Cuzzi call a ball that was a half a foot fair at a critical juncture of the ALDS game between the Twins and Yankees I can see why Twins manager Ron Gardenhire asked the media "We had six umpires out there. I think, right, six? Six umpires."  The reason Gardenhire stressed six, is that during the regular season, there are four umpires instead of six. But increasing the amount of humans from four to six, isn't going to solve missed calls like this, because of the "human" element just mentioned.

I know I have chimed in on this topic before, clamoring for baseball to be more extensive as to what exactly what is subject to instant replay, but I feel strongly about this and want to see baseball address this issue. I mean these guys play 162 fricken games a year, and then some guy totally messes up a call in the 11th inning of a playoff game. If this was an NFL game, the call on the field would have been amended and justice would have been served.

I have a suggestion regarding instant replay: Give the manager one opportunity to challenge ANY, yes any call on the field. Baseball games in the 00's take an hour longer than they did in the 80's, so whats an extra couple minutes of action due to instant replay? At least we know you will never go away saying "I cant believe we lost because of that awful call".

What do you think about baseball giving each manager one chance to challenge any call and using Instant Replay as a result? Please put your comments down below. Thanks
