I would love to watch Earl Weaver argue ball and strikes with one of these things.

It would be classic.

I'm for keeping thing things simple. While there is a place for tech in our lives, I love the human element of baseball.

If anyone is expecting " perfection " from robo ump, they're mistaken.

There will be glitch, some sensor will be " off " and so on and so forth.

Maybe I'm becoming an old man, but can't we just keep things simple?

You kids stay off my lawn! Next time I'm keeping your ball!

I live in the past, just check my location in my net54 signature. No robotic umps, no 4 finger intentional walks, no instant replays, no designated hitters, no multitudes of pitching changes, no gym pants in lieu of real baseball pants and socks. None of that garbage. I have enough classic complete games, both radio and TV broadcasts, saved on various hard drives, to last the rest of whatever life I have left. You can have this modern day crap. Enjoy.

I welcome the robo umps, especially when Angel Hernandez is behind the plate!

We should've known the umps were doomed when the FTX logo started appearing on their shirts.

You get an AMEN! from me on this. I'll just set up a robot to watch the game and be done with it.

They had roboumps in the Florida State League this year. Watched about 25-30 games with it. You honestly don't even know it's going on unless they tell you. The ump still signals the calls like he's the one actually making them. He has an earpiece that immediately gives him the call and he signals it. I guarantee that at least 90% of the people watching the game had no clue roboumps were being used.

I'm old enough now that I reserve my nostalgia for things that were actually good.

Good one!

I tend to romanticize everything in the past. But this is one exception. Will not miss bad calls from umps that influence the game's outcome.

I just hope they can get it right. Somehow I have to believe Manfred will find a way to f*ck it up.

Perfection isn't the goal. Better is. Robot umps will be better.

And we already have "glitches" you mention, as anybody who saw Livan Hernandez Game 7 can attest.
