Given the technology to track pitches and seeing how bad it can be on how far off umpires are calling pitches. Some are quite good but the majority, in reality, are not. Replay technology already is used to over-rule calls made on the field. Why stop there? Go all-in and let's get the call right (which by the way is the first rule in umpiring ) It would also alleviate any suspiciousness about fixed games.

OR


Are you a traditionalist and think that's part of the game and too much tech is already being used so too-bad-so-sad for bad calls?

FYI I am of the opinion of the former :icon_cycl

PS Post your reason for your decision

No way, then what is next? Robots playing instead of humans?
the human component, with all his virtues and defects are the essence of the game! :thrasher:

I think it should happen. Often times umpires get the call wrong.

It would be nice if they used it in AAA for a season and then tested it during spring training. It seems like a good idea, but it would be nice to see how it tested out.
