DALLAS (105.3 THE FAN) Major League Basbeall  is leaning toward the notion of extra replay for 2012.

Basically, it would be expanding replay for the 2012 season to include trapped balls and fair-or-foul rulings down the lines. According to sources, MLB commissioner Bud Selig and a group of umpires actually discussed the extra video review at spring training and were in agreement. Baseball began using replay late in the 2008 season, though only to check potential home run balls.

Since then, there have been a slew of missed calls in the playoffs and World Series.

Some cases in point: Last October, Yankees right fielder Greg Golson clearly caught a low liner for the final out of Game 1 in New York's playoff series against Minnesota. But, the umpire ruled the ball bounced.

And then, in the 2009 AL playoffs, Joe Mauer's looper down the left-field line landed fair by a full FOOT at Yankee Stadium, hopped into the seats and was mistakenly called a foul ball.

With this said though, out-or-safe calls on the bases, like the one that screwed Armando Galarraga out of a perfect game last year, wouldn't be subject to review. Ball-or-strike decisions would also not be subject to review either.

There are several arguments or angles you could take away from this. Would implementing all of this make it an issue of time, where it would take too long for the officials to go back and look at replay of everything? Would there be a sort of indifferent attitude throughout the league amongst the players and fans,  or would this get the baseball purists all up in arms, as it would be messing with the history and purity of the game when you start getting too involved with issues like this?

I guess we'll have to wait and see...
