Braves hire Buddy Carlyle to handle replay review decisions

The Braves are bringing back Buddy Carlyle to manage their replay protocol during games

The Atlanta Braves announced on Friday that they have added Buddy Carlyle as a coaching assistant.

Per the release, Carlyle will be in uniform for all pregame work-outs and will assist in scouting preparations. His main job however will be to manage the Braves' instant replay protocol from an off-field location during all games.

The Braves recently vowed to look at their replay process after a call went unchallenged in a 1-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Freddie Freeman was called out on a close play at second although replay showed that he might have beaten the throw.
