SEATTLE -- You had to feel for Twins second baseman Matt Tolbert after Wednesday night's 2-1, 10-inning loss to the Mariners.

It wasn't just the game-ending play that was sticking with Tolbert. He was thinking about Casey Kotchman's one-out infield single in the 10th inning.

"I should have made the first play," Tolbert said. "If I get a throw off, it doesn't even lead to that."

He was thinking about the fifth inning, when Milton Bradley stole second base en route to eventually scoring Seattle's first run. Joe Mauer's throw beat Bradley to the base, but Tolbert tripped and couldn't make the tag.

"Joe had the guy," Tolbert said. "Perfect throw, just my fault. So then, he doesn't score, so everything counts."

Later, when asked about how well he pitched, Kevin Slowey reminded reporters of one of Tolbert's better moments from the game.

"We're mixing pitches up pretty well," Slowey said. "We've had some great plays from our defense. You think about the double play that Tolbert turned [in the seventh inning] -- that's not an easy double play."

Tolbert didn't need to see a replay to know Josh Wilson was out at second base on the game's final play.

"I thought he was out for sure," Tolbert said. "I couldn't believe it."

Manager Ron Gardenhire left no doubt.

"The replay shows he's out, bottom line," he said. "We don't need to talk about that anymore. It's all out there for you. Just go watch the replays of it."

All of us did. All of us have. Over and over. We can watch that replay on the highlight shows, and we're sure that call would be overturned if MLB expanded the use of instant replay.

That's why I believe it's time for MLB to strongly consider expanding replay. I talked about it in my postgame video. When you listen to Jim Joyce's comments from Detroit after Armando Galarraga's almost perfect game, you have to believe the umpires would support this, too.

It would have to be done efficiently. Perhaps each manager could have one challenge per game, and the decisions could be made in a central location with all the HD technology the umpires are given.

Think of how differently Wednesday might have been for Galarraga and the Twins, if baseball would adjust with the times.
