9th inning appeal Another case for using instant replay in baseball? Situation: Top of the 9th inning, no outs, 5-4 Cardinals lead, and Andres Torres hit's what looks to be a lead off double, giving him a very good chance to score. Scoring Chart. The Cardinals choose to appeal that Torres missed first. Torres gets called out without umpires being able to look at a replay, even though the video might be inconclusive, and the umpire was directly on top of the play. This play might allow the Cardinals to get into the playoffs, but the larger issue is instant replay in baseball. Why not let the coaches have two challenges each game. This would add another decision for a manager to be second guessed later. I love the idea of allowing the manager to choose which plays to review.
