SAN FRANCISCO – Baseball’s effort to shorten the decision time on issuing replay challenges hasn’t been a major change for Diamondbacks video coordinator Allen Campbell, who said he’s always tried to get to an answer as quickly as possible.
“You’re just putting a number on something, but you were already trying to rush,” he said. “Sure, there’s a little bit of pressure to it, but I don’t think it makes it that much more difficult than the pressure already put on ourselves.”
Managers now are supposed to be limited to 30 seconds before having to signal to on-field umpires whether they want to use one of their challenges.
