Bring on the robots


Recommended Posts

I have been calling for robot umps for several decades now, but I do not know if we are any closer than when I started.  And during that span of time the umpiring has gotten much, much worse.  Back in the birth of baseball people yelled kill the ump, but if that were shouted now a person would be  arrested or worse.   There has always been Human Error involved, but only the Lord knows what else is in the mix now.

I think Kyle Gibson has it right:

The more I hear about the robot umps, the less I like the idea but I think technology should be used and replay would be good.  Should be very easy and very fast…ala tennis.

It's a crying shame when one very bad call by the home plate umpire, on an obvious strike, can cost a team the game. 

It happened to us yesterday. 

How critical can one single win can be at the end of the regular season, as for the playoffs coming?
