I will probably get hammered for this but is it time for video review during the playoffs for softball?

All of the games are televised so there are plenty of cameras to cover the games. I hate to see missed calls to cause a team to lose out. I would think since the sport is growing, it could be something to look at. I have read that many of the umps in MLB like that they can make a call and have it corrected if its wrong.

Will softball instant replay get it is as wrong as MLB instant replay?

And are there enough cameras at a college softball game to get it right?

Yes. Probably.

Sometimes. It is probably doable in the SEC & PAC where every game in on their network but many other colleges who don't regularly appear in the top 50, probably not.

Honestly it will be a cost thing. It is not cheap to keep an outside electronic system working and the best way to do it involves having a dedicated replay official. And I still see college games where they are too cheap to pay a 3-man umpiring crew.

They needed an instant replay in the Texas A &M-Florida game just now!
