I'm pretty sure in SEC play, replay is authorized only when there are at least three cameras, and is for plays at the plate, and fair or foul balls/homeruns. I don't think a foul ball can be reviewed, but a fair ball can be reviewed if they think it is foul.

I looked up the replay provisions.   There's no mention of there being a minimum number of cameras.  Foul and fair balls can be reviewed and it would kind of be pointless to have one reviewable and the other  not reviewable.    Either way here's the replay provisions: (apologize for the horrible formatting)

Getting the Call Right with the use of video replay:

SECTION 2�

Following plays will be reviewable:

a�

Deciding if a batted ball is fair or foul� The ball must first touch the ground

or a fielder beyond the initial position of the first or third baseman�

b� Deciding if a batted ball is either a ground rule double or a home run�

c�

Any catch or no catch in the outfield or foul territory

�

d�

A call of “no catch” can be changed to “catch” within the infield only if it

results in a third out with any runners on base, or any time with a batter

runner only

�

e�

Spectator interference�

f� Deciding scoring plays at home plate inclusive of collisions (illegal and/or

malicious slides) or time plays�

The following criteria will be used by institutions and conferences using Instant

Replay during the regular season:

a�

A ruling on the field will only be changed if there is indisputable video

evidence to reverse the call� Absent that evidence, the original ruling on the

field will stand�

b� Any use of instant replay must occur before the next pitch or play

� If the

replay is called for after a game ending play, if must be called before all

umpires leave the field of play

�

c�

The crew chief will make the determination to use instant replay

� There is no

“coaches challenge�

” Under the provisions of Getting the Call Right, coaches

have the ability to request a conference among the umpires�

d�

The video review area must be on the field level so that umpires must not

walk through spectators to view the coverage� At least one umpire must

remain on the field�

e�

During the video review the defensive team shall maintain their position

on the field and may warm-up if desired� Offensive base runners and the

on-deck hitter shall maintain their position� Other personnel shall remain in

the dugout� Any defensive or offensive conferences will be charged as during

any other part of the game�

f� All equipment should be tested by appropriate personnel before each game�

g�

The final decision may not be argued by either coach�

h�

If the reversing of a call results in the need for decisions on the placement of

base runners, the crew chief shall use his best judgment to determine their

locations as if the call had been made correctly (with exception to placement

prescribed by rule on catch/no catch reversals)�

i�

If a call has been changed, the crew chief, upon returning to the field, will

notify both head coaches and the official scorer of the ruling�

Clutch hitting has not been very good for the Tigers today. Need a couple hits together! 

[wareagle13 88]

I mentioned the cameras because an earlier game cast said that replay was not an option because they only had one camera behind the plate operating that day.

Who ever is the play by play caller for this series is awful. Multiple times a ball hit opposite field has been referred to as pulling the ball. And he continuously calls a dropped third strike as a strike em out throw em out, which should refer to a strike out and catch em stealing.

I agree they are awful, but why would you refer to a dropped third strike throw to 1st as catching them stealing?  That's actually one of the few things he has gotten right.    

My favorite was a throw from the catcher (not sure which team it was) to first and he said, throw to 2nd... HUH?   The next pitch, the base runner stole second and he said throw to 2nd.     btw, they are georgia announcers (since its in Athens), so it shouldn't surprise anybody that they are awful.

Every game i've ever watched, a strike em out, throw em out has always referred to the act of striking the batter out and then throwing down and catching a runner stealing (on a possible hit and run). I've never heard that phrase referred to for a dropped third strike and throw down to first. If i'm wrong on that i stand corrected but i've never heard it in reference to that situation.

He's saying a strike out and throw out at second with a guy stealing from first should be a strike em out throw em out. A strike out and throw to first should just be called a strike out, with a throw to first.

We also keep swinging at the breaking ball that breaks way down into the dirt. Got to lay off, we've been struck out an unusual amount of times this weekend already

Good point.  Apparently I was confused.     I blame old age.

[wareagle13 88]

2-1 UGA going to the bottom 6th. Auburn is really getting worked by this lefty. Not seeing pitches well.

No worries, i understood what i said cause i wrote it. But i can see how it was confusing.

HA.  on that double by georgia a minute ago, the idiot announcer said it bounces off the wall and comes back into the field of play?   HUH?  It hit on the warning track, and went off the wall.  The ball never left the field of play.      If it had it would have been a ground rule double.   They are both pretty awful.

[wareagle13 88]

McGovern is now 7-8 or 7-9 this series, scores to make it 3-1 after leadoff double.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Yikes....GA got another run. 

[wareagle13 88]

UGA with back to back cheap infield singles. But mize gets the K to end the inning.

[WarTiger 3,901]

McGuffin (I think) at 1st and apparently they tried to pick him off and he dives back into the bag and came up in pain.  Looked like he jammed his hand on the bag.  Trainer came out and put a towel over his hand and he is out of the game.  Jeremy Johnson in to pinch run

[wareagle13 88]

Auburn still struggling to come up with the clutch hit. To the stretch we go 3-1

[wareagle13 88]

Georgia doing what auburn can't, key hits with RISP, 4-1 UGA, going to the 9th. 1-2-3 due up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Auburn needs 3 runs in the 9th to keep this one going.  Come on Tigers

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Just wasn't our day.

[wareagle13 88]

Tigers fall 4-1. Got lead off runner on in 7 of 9 innings, could only plate one run. Timely hitting just not there like it was last week.

[au302 2,669]

Very disappointed. Our offense will cost us games. Besides the Florida one I feel like we haven't been that great offensively. We need Anthony and Robert to take over and start smashing the ball

[FUZZYAUFAN 134]

Too mamy early scoring opportunities wasted. Hopefully AU can string a few hits together a few times tomorrow and get the win and series. 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Not the worst thing to ever happen. We bought some insurance with two more wins over Florida than most thought we would get. Hopefully we win the series 

[steeleagle 2,945]

I agree. Offensively we leave way too many guys on base(6 of 9 innings we had lead off on, last 3 in a row) and only scored 1 run  We have only scored 3 runs against a team that is Last in pitching, Last in fielding, and 12th in batting avg. 

We do not seem to have enough power hitters or deep gap hitters, so we have to manufacture more runs in the future...

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

You mean we're not going 30-0 in conference?  Well, damn....
