The RIGHT CALL is paramount to everything else. a team's season may have been ended prematurely due to a wrong call. how can anyone defend that? every other pro sport has a form of IR. why should baseball be the only exclusion?

That ball was 10 feet away from Barrett after the tag, if the ump hadn't made the safe call, Holliday coulda did a backwards crab-walk to the plate to touch it. Safe!
