MLB will expand replay next season
http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10...ed-replay-2014
http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/po...t-move-for-mlb edit: we now know all of the details for the new system. Several details have changed from when this was last reported. These are the plays that can be challenged:
Each team gets one challenge. If the challenge is successful, you get a 2nd challenge. You don't get a 3rd challenge. There will be no flag nonsense because there's no clock in baseball, the manager will simply tell the umpires. If a team has run out of challenges and it is the 7th inning or later, then the umpires can initiate a video review. (If a team has a challenge that they could use, or if its before the 7th inning, the umpires can not initiate a video review) The only exception is home runs, the umpires can always review that no matter what. There's no time limit to challenge, but the challenge must be made "before the batter and the pitcher are ready to go" for the next pitch. MLB expects replay officials to be able to make a call within a minute to a minute and a half. The standard to overturn a call is "clear and convincing evidence". Baseball will handle the video review like Hockey, MLB will have a replay command center in New York that the umpires can call into. It will be staffed by other umpires. Previously, MLB wanted to use retired umpires or umpire supervisors, but the MLB umpire's union objected to that. Since they wanted to get it done, and they didn't have the time or the leverage to negotiate, MLB agreed to hire 2 brand-new umpire crews in 2014 (8 new umpires), and have all the crews rotate through the replay command center. Each team will have access to the same replay video in each clubhouse (but not the dugout) and each team will be allowed to have a "video specialist" who can call the dugout. So just like football, someone will have the job of watching video for each team to tell the team's manager if they should challenge something, and since you get only one challenge, whoever is watching the video feed for the team had better not mess it up! Cameras will be standardized in baseball, each one of the 30 stadiums will be required to have at least 12 specific camera angles available to the replay command center. Managers who argue a reviewable call will be asked if they want to challenge, and they must then make the decision right there on the spot, the manager can't go back to the dugout to talk to his video specialist.

Throw out balls and strikes and look at everything else that can possibly happen in a baseball game.
From there, there's apparently a complicated list of things that are not reviewable which we won't know until later, but MLB estimated that based on historical data, roughly 89% of non-balls-and-strikes plays would be reviewable. For a reviewable play, the manager can not argue, he has to go to the umpires, challenge, turn around, and go back to the dugout. For a non-reviewable play (whatever those 11% of plays are), the manager can still argue and try to get the umpires to huddle up.

I'm ok with seeing how it works. If it ever gets to reviewing balls and strikes, I would be insanely pissed.
