SAN FRANCISCO — The refrain is a familiar one. After television replays expose a blown call, Commissioner Bud Selig insists there is no great outcry among players and club officials for increased use of instant replay to review calls.

And, on the day after a blown call heavily influenced the National League Division Series opener between the Giants and Braves, there was no great outcry.

"You're taking everything that's great out of baseball — the human element," Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff said before Friday night's game.

The Giants beat the Braves 1-0 Thursday night with Buster Posey scoring the lone run. Replays appeared to show Posey had been thrown out trying to steal second, but he was called safe.

"I guess it's a good thing we don't have instant replay right now," Posey said after the game.

Even after the Braves apparently were wronged, manager Bobby Cox said Friday he is not convinced more replay is in order.

"I'm talking to more and more people who say we should have some type of review on plays," Cox said. "I'm not so sure it's a good idea. I know it cost us (Thursday) night, but I would have to see the system."

Cox wondered whether the system would involve a manager's challenge. His players did not protest the call at the time, so he said he had no way to know it was not correct.

"I'm not sure I would have done it," Cox said, "unless somebody is running down from (the clubhouse to the dugout) who had seen it on TV."

Baseball limits replay use to disputed home runs — that is, to determine whether a ball was fair or foul, whether it cleared the fence or whether a fan interfered with it.

"The big plays are the home runs," Huff said. "Those are big game-changers, the ones you have to get right. These guys out there are doing their best, and they're human, and we're human. And you start messing with instant replay, then you're changing the history of the game, which made the game so great."
