even if the call is confirmed and you can carry on your celebration, it won’t be of the same intensity, you’ll fist-pump and high-five, but that leap out of your seat jump for joy moment is gone

For starters, you might be lying through your teeth when you say you don’t feel much satisfaction when a bad call against your team is overturned.
If you only noticed within the last decade that replay review and penalty flags are things that exist in the NFL, then that’s on you.
Why coach Andy Reid decided to have his quarterback run such a chaotic play while nursing a bad ankle is beyond me
the NFL exacerbates the problem by making turnovers and touchdowns, i.e. the most exciting plays, subject to automatic review.
Then your issue should be with the production of the telecast that doesn’t use the FLAG graphic quickly enough, not the football game itself.
“If there are 18 penalties called per game, that means more than 10% of plays have a penalty called.”
When there’s a goal scored in hockey do you GET EXCITED or do you look at the ref to see if he waves it off?
Absolutely. Tennis is an example.
Bregman wouldn’t have been walked if the base wasn’t open. With one out they’d have pitched to him for the double play.
Sure, other teams will sell a lie to steal a call from an umpire, but so far I’ve only seen a douchebag Yankee complain about THE VERY NEXT PITCH, which was a much closer call than the one he was gifted.
Your last sentence is obviously a positive of replay.
For every blown call you can show me that was corrected by replay review, I can show you two blown calls that were not corrected
So because instant replay isn’t perfect, you want to get rid of all of the good parts. That’s tremendously dumb.
Here was a 35-year-old pitcher coming off of a pretty average season with a fastball that topped out at 91 mph making his way through a team that the baseball gods smile fondly upon in October with relative ease.
Did you miss the part of the article that noted calls have already been overturned?
This group of websites was bankrupt until the financial wizards saved them.
In fairness, how could you expect any team to come back from a....*checks notes* two run deficit?
Their win expectancy would be higher if their best starting pitcher wasn’t a domestic abuser.
I ain’t touching a dude who might be paralyzed.
