It is post-season baseball and that only means one thing:  Six-Man Umpiring Crews!  And as we’ve witnessed this post-season, that simply means six individuals who amazingly didn’t see a thing!  From Chase Utley’s foul ball ruled a hit to Joe Mauer’s hit ruled a foul ball, we have seen it all and, well, it is as ugly as a newborn baby being plopped out and covered in all that goo.  Umps have missed calls on base paths and in strike zones, and it is leaving fans demanding perfection or new robotic umps.  However, is instant replay really the way to go?  Do we need another thing to slow baseball down beyond the painstaking crawl it already is?  Instead, why not shorten the game by seven innings to cut down on the potential of mistakes.  Or better yet, let’s institute the childhood solution to ever missed call; Do Over!
