World Series Baseball

As I’ve now written a couple of times, I was not particularly excited about the final four teams in this year’s post-season.  However, now that the World Series is here, it’s hard not to get caught up in it.  The Yankees and Phillies, despite my reservations, are two excellent teams well suited to provide baseball fandom with a gripping series.

I watched the last three innings of last night’s Game 2 when I got from work, and they were certainly exciting.  Disappointing to see the umps blow a couple more calls in the late innings, but at least the mistakes went against both teams, so they perhaps evened out.

Baseball will have to give serious consideration to more replay next season after all the blown calls this post-season.  I’ve written about this topic before, so I won’t say anything more than that there are all kinds of ways to structure replay so that it doesn’t slow down the games meaningfully.
