I would say that I'm avidly against it

true.

but if they want to get calls right like they say they so, they might as well go all in and get the strikezone right

i do agree they need the right technology and cant rush it

Just cut out the homeplate umpire and use the technology over the loud speaker lol

Easy day

you're giving 1 example of a strike that was called a ball. what about those two pitches the dbacks manager got ejected for those were clearly balls that were called strikes. things like this even out over the course of a season and this is really the only human element to the game left is balls and strikes.

Or even a light that flashes green or red for balls/strikes.

Right!? haha

I hate how umps can decide games. Who cares about the human element? One man's judgement should not change the outcome of a game that people put that much work and money into.

and youre assuming my example i gave was the only example i could use.

and youre also assuming that i said the cardinals were the only ones ruined by the umps.


and youre last statement makes my point. they clearly have decided that human element shouldnt decide games by adding all the replay. at this point, just go all in and get the calls right

Why not just replace pitchers with a machine that throws a strike every time. A batter either puts the ball in play in the first 3 pitches or he's out. Increase the # of fielders to keep batting averages down.

This solves the problem of ball/strikes, speeds up the pace of play AND ensures more action, since most pitches will result in balls put in play.
