SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Nike Cortez Ultra Moire Obsidian/Blanco . -- Challenged for the first time under Major League Baseballs expanded replay system, umpires got it right. The umps went 3 for 3 on Monday as MLB tried out the new format at three spring training games. The first test came at 3:06 p.m. EST in Fort Myers, Fla., after first base umpire Fieldin Culbreth ruled Toronto shortstop Munenori Kawasakis throw pulled Jared Goedert off the bag in the sixth inning. "Im not too sure that youre not right here," Culbreth said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons told him, "but since we havent done it before, lets go take a look." Culbreth answered: "OK. Thats what its for." After 2 minutes, 34 seconds, replay umpire Brian ONora relayed his call by headset, confirming that Minnesota batter Chris Rahl was safe. During the wait, Rahl said he realized he perhaps was part of history. "Its kind of funny. I was thinking, Is this the first one?" he said. ONora made the final ruling from a satellite truck outside the stadium. During the regular season, umpires on the field will check with the replay booth in New York, where an MLB umpire will make the final call. Later in the game, Culbreth rotated and took a turn in the truck, confirming another safe call at first base. "Im looking at this thing as, this is the future of the game. And Im going to treat these games here the same way that Im going to treat them during the regular season," Culbreth said. In the eighth inning, Doug Bernier of the Twins was called safe on a close play at first. As Culbreth studied the replay, the ballpark sound system played a Rolling Stones song with the familiar lyric, "I cant get no satisfaction." The call was confirmed, Bernier was safe. Extra replay also was in place for two games in Arizona -- the Los Angeles Angels vs. Arizona Diamondbacks in Scottsdale and the Chicago Cubs against Milwaukee in Phoenix. Each team in the majors will have at least five exhibition games with the new system in place. In January, owners approved the use of additional video replay to review most calls other than balls-and-strikes. Previously, umpires could only go to replay to review home runs and boundary calls. Moments after the first replay call, Angels manager Mike Scioscia wasted little time in using his challenge. In the top of the second, Luis Jimenez of the Angels tried to steal second. Catcher Bobby Wilsons throw was high but second base umpire Bill Miller ruled that Aaron Hill tagged the runner out. Scioscia bounded out of the dugout and charged toward Miller to argue, just like managers always have done. Instead, though, he chose to use his challenge. After two of the umpires made a quick visit to the Angels dugout to communicate with the replay umpire, the call was upheld. "We werent trying to make a mockery out of it," Scioscia said of using the challenge so soon. "We thought it was a pretty close play." There was only one angle available with the limited camera work of a spring training telecast. "If we have 15 angles of that," Scioscia said, "theres a possibility it gets reversed." That review took 2:31. Since he lost the challenge, Scioscia had no more. "I dont think its going to take much time in the logistics. That will smooth out," he said. "As far as the strategy of it, thats going to take a lot. It might be something you win, but you know you need that challenge to save the big play somewhere." Twins manager Ron Gardenhire and Arizonas Kirk Gibson did not use their challenge. Neither did Cubs manager Rick Renteria nor the Brewers Ron Roenicke. Gibson said he thought about contesting a close play when Paul Goldschmidt nearly beat out a grounder but said he decided it was 50-50 and not worth it. "I think its going to be a lot more complicated than we thought," Gibson said. "We had a lot of conversation during the game." For the Angels-Diamondbacks game, the replay trailer was set up in the parking lot behind centre field. Teams are allowed to have a person to watch the game on television and advise the managers via phone whether it would be worth it for the call to be challenged. The Angels communicated via walkie talkie Monday but there will be a dedicated phone line for each team in the major league parks. Under the new rules, each manager has one challenge. If the first challenge is successful, the manager gets a second. From the seventh inning on, if the manager is out of challenges, the umpire can decide to have the play reviewed. Some critics of expanded replay worried that challenges would delay the game too much. Culbreth said he didnt think that would be a problem, and pointed at the benefits. "It will work itself out. I think time really isnt going to be an issue in the end," he said. "And if it is, its about getting the play right in the end, anyhow."

After all, the No. 8 seed is chasing far loftier goals. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., defeated American Jack Sock 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in Wimbledons second round on Thursday.EDMONTON - Craig MacTavish said there was blood all over my hands after another disappointing start by the Edmonton Oilers, but it was Dallas Eakins who took the fall.Eakins was fired by the Oilers on Monday, the first casualty of another season gone wrong in what was once known as the City of Champions.Edmonton has lost 15 of its past 16 games is last in the Western Conference with 19 points through 31 games.MacTavish will take over as head coach on a transitional basis before handing the reins to Todd Nelson, who is being promoted to interim head coach from Edmontons American Hockey League affiliate in Oklahoma City.MacTavish said Eakins is an excellent coach, but something had to be done after the losses started piling up.The general manager also took his share of the blame for Edmontons dismal situation because he put the lineup together.Im not here to absolve myself of accountability for the situation that were in, MacTavish said at a news conference Monday.With the Oilers well on their way to missing the playoffs for the ninth consecutive season, further changes could be coming this spring.The Oilers went 36-63-14 under Eakins in parts of two seasons, including 7-19-5 so far this year.Hired in the summer of 2012 to help the Oilers be in the mix every year to win, Eakins missed the playoffs in his only full season behind the bench.I had no real good reason to do this outside of performance, MacTavish said of Eakins dismissal. Thats the bottom line that were all judged by, is thee performance level of the hockey club and certainly the record. Nike Pegasus 34 Precio. I would point to those things solely as the reasons for this change.It was on Eakins to get through to the Oilers, and they didnt seem to make any significant strides under their fifth coach in seven seasons. Likewise, Pat Quinn (2009-10), Tom Renney (2010-12) and Ralph Krueger (2013) couldnt get them to the playoffs.Edmonton has not made the post-season since 2006.The Oilers finished with the third-fewest points in the NHL in 2013-14 with a record of 29-44-9 in the one full season under Eakins.Considered one of the hottest coaching candidates when with the AHLs Toronto Marlies, Eakins got the job with the Oilers in large part because MacTavish believed he could relate to young players.Recently MacTavish game Eakins a vote of confidence and said the coach still had the room, but as the losses continued to come the teams position changed.The losses have an emotional toll on everybody in the organization — at least they should — in particular the coaching staff, MacTavish said. I think the fact we werent able to get any traction at all after that, it lead me to believe the time was right for a coaching change.With an average age of under 27, the Oilers roster includes three No. 1 overall picks: Taylor Hall in 2010, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in 2011 and Nail Yakupov in 2012.This was Eakins first NHL head-coaching job. Before coaching the Marlies, he was an assistant for two years with the Maple Leafs. ' ' '
