HBT: MLB to test 'advanced replay' next week

For all Bud Selig?s talk regarding how supposedly no one complains about the lack of expanded instant replay it sure sounds like MLB is planning to ? well, expand instant replay.

Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports reports that MLB will ?test two different advanced replay systems live during games starting next week, and if they prove accurate they could precede an overhaul of the system for the 2013 season.?

Yankee Stadium and Citi Field will be the ballparks used for what Passan says are ?a radar-based system and a camera-based system, both similar to the one used in tennis for down-the-line fair-or-foul calls.?

And despite Selig?s stubborn, constant insistence to the contrary, Passan writes that among owners ?there is a groundswell of support to at least quell the perception that baseball is ignoring the available technologies.?

Or, you know, what a huge percentage of the sport?s fan base has been saying for years now (while Selig apparently wasn?t listening).
