The strike zone shown on tv is often wrong. But aside from that, horrible idea
to take out the plate umpire.

Nobody's complaining about the calls an inch outside the magic box. We're

Yeah that’s actually pretty rare. And not worth all the problems you’d get by

It's not rare. Ump score cards are never 100%. Why not make it 100%

Wasn’t your last post a complaint about a call that was barely outside the box?

Yes, calls that would have been correct with robo umps. Isn't the idea to get

That's a ball. The 1st one was significantly worse. Guessing you won't

This one? I am not sure it is worse, but definitely not significantly worse.

In fact, the second one appears to be closer to the zone than the first SO Ohtani had.

Was never about a slight against the Dodgers. The bad calls against LA are

Why? They are doing it in the minors

Replays and robo calls are ruining the game.

They’ll still have that. Sounds like MLB is leaning towards the challenge system rather than full ABS (robot calls).

Yes, for now. We will see where it is in 20 years

Right, thus the OP. No way it doesn't ultimately end up there and the game

They'll go to unlimited appeals before they get rid of the plate ump.

They've already done evert pitch robot calls in the minors.Accuracy down to 3 mm

AAA uses both systems. They have challenge system certain days of the week, and full ABS the others

Probably a good idea to start with the challenge system. Most umpires are

Yes, here’s a chart from Fangraphs on ump accuracy by year

Yes, I can’t stand catcher framing. Interesting chart. I am not surprised

Ultimately - most fans don’t care if umps are better or worse today than in the past.
