Instant Replay Starts Thursday in MLB
Baseball source tells AP replay starts Thursday
By RONALD BLUM – 6 minutes ago
NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball has reversed its long-standing opposition to instant replay and will allow umpires to check video on home run calls in series that start Thursday, a person familiar with the announcement told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement was authorized before 5 p.m. Tuesday EDT.
The start date comes nearly 10 months after general managers voted 25-5 to use the technology, and following MLB agreements with the unions for umpires and for players.

it appears that it starts thursday only for the start of new series'
i.e., if teams are playing a tues-wed-thurs series, it won’t be available for the thursday game.

there wasn't really an outcry for it last year.
and, if you’ve ever dealt with unions, this rather looks like lightning speed.
