They missed another in the Cleveland-Texas game on Thursday. My favorite argument against replay is this one: Baseball should not have replay. They already have a computer review process in place that shows that umpires are 94%(!) accurate on balls and strikes. Just to clarify that, there are roughly 250 pitches thrown per game and that means that umpires ONLY miss 15 pitches per game. That being said, there should only be replay on home run calls and maybe foul balls.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1610','Brian Joseph'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1610','Brian Joseph','It\'s time for replay.
