With Major League Baseball adding replay challenges to the game this season, managers and umpires are woodshedding the process in spring-training games. Monday’s contests saw two unsuccessful replay challenges — the first in Major League history, assuming you count exhibition games (which no one really does).

The first was in Fort Myers, Fla., where Blue Jays manager John Gibbons contested a safe call at first base on what would have been a double play.

Just had replay alert in 6th inning. Brett Lawrie grounds into close 6-4-3 DP to end inning. John Gibbons out for long chat but no challenge — Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) March 3, 2014

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a replay! John Gibbons challenging whether 1B was off the bag when he caught high throw from short #history — Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) March 3, 2014

Ladies & gentlemen, the 1st unsuccessful replay challenge in MLB history – from John Gibbons. What a moment — Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) March 3, 2014

The review officially took 2 minutes, 34 seconds if you're timing along at home. About twice as long as MLB would prefer by the way. — Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) March 3, 2014

The next came in Arizona when Angels manager Mike Scioscia thought Luis Jimenez successfully stole a base against the Diamondbacks.

Looks like we have a challenge! #Angels bench coach Dino Ebel was on his walkie talkie and signaled to Scioscia by lifting his cap. — Jeff Fletcher (@JeffFletcherOCR) March 3, 2014

And Scioscia loses the challenge. Luis Jimenez is out stealing second. That whole appeal took 2 minutes. Angels no more challenges. — Jeff Fletcher (@JeffFletcherOCR) March 3, 2014

Sure hope the #Angels early use of this challenge doesn't come back to haunt them in this critical Cactus League tilt. — Jeff Fletcher (@JeffFletcherOCR) March 3, 2014

The biggest concern right now is not that both managers failed in their efforts to overturn calls: They’re practicing their systems, remember. It’s that both challenges took at least two minutes, and MLB wants to keep them between 60 and 90 seconds.

But then — and as old baseball cliche goes — it’s spring training for the guys in the replay command center, too. They’ve got a month to get up to game speed.
