9. They can really only do it in a "dead ball" situation...
The "yellow line" home run or a fair/foul situation. Anything reviewed in a "live action" situation affects the play. For example, someone hits a line drive down the first base line and the ball rattles around in the corner. The umpire calls it foul, and the runners and fielders stop running. Then the review shows it was fair. Where do you put the runners? I'm not in favor of reviewing most things, but I would like to see the home runs reviewed. I don't mind keeping things in the infield (safe, out, balls and strikes) under the umpire's control. I think you'd probably have to do that for trapped balls in the OF as well.
