I would definitely not be in favor of replay for baseball. Too often replays are inconclusive making reversals tough. Very few tag/force plays are missed by the umpires and the presence of replay would probably create a timidness or reluctance to make tough calls. I feel officiating in football, especially college, has changed drastically with timid officials not wanting to blow a call dead or even calling things they don't see - not to mention it seems a lot of the time, the replay booth doesn't get it right.
If anything, the only replay I think that would work in baseball would be foul/fair decisions and homeruns.
I would rather see the Commissioners office enforce a strict umpire evaluation system and suspend or release underperforming umpires.
