Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig isn't turning a blind eye on Phil Cuzzi's missed call in the Bronx last week. Heck, even Cuzzi himself admitted he made a mistake.
But one thing the commish has been ignoring — and will continue to ignore — are the abundance of critics requesting to change the current rules involving replays in baseball.
"I don't really have any desire to increase the amount of replay — period," Selig told FoxSports.com on Monday. "This goes on every time there's a controversial call. I understand the Phil Cuzzi call and others. But frankly, I'm quite satisfied with the way things are."
Cuzzi's foul-ball call on Joe Mauer's slice down the left-field line that clearly landed several inches inside the line may have cost the Twins a victory in Game 2. Although no one will ever know how the ensuing Minnesota hitters would have done after Mauer's would-be double, one thing is clear to even the most stubborn Yankees fan: The wrong call was made.
"We need to do a little work, clean up some things," admitted Selig, who has been baseball's head honcho since 1992. "But do I think we need more replay? No. Baseball is not the kind of game that can have interminable delays."
