Just saw the end of the Nats' game. What's the point of video review when it just wasted time and gets it wrong. I know every 70+ year old, sentimentalist and radical conservative will disagree with me. But can't we just at least catch up to tennis and soccer (line/goal line technology)?

I've been calling for it for years. The technology is there, it's absolutely ridiculous to let these senile old idiots continue to decide games without any consistency.

They have tested it out in the Minors. Works wonderfully. Does not need to remove the umpires.
This is why baseball is archaic. Sentimentalism and nostalgia rules over technology.
If sentimentalism and nostalgia ruled, then catchers would still be allowed to block the plate and runners could take out infielders to break up a double play.

When computers replace you at your job you are going to wish you were a 'radical conervative' when standing in line to collect food stamps. The momentum is very strong with the snowball effect

I would like to see two different computers offer unique interpretations on German literature (I am a grad student).
Point is, this requires objectivity and precision. Those traits are best embodied by computers. To say that every job requires that is outstretched. And what's even the relevance of other jobs here?

Yeah, let's make it resemble a video game so you kids can relate to it.i
It already is one and I know plenty of older guys who play from time to time. Using something popular like baseball to create extra profit by turning it into some kind of consumer merchandise is at least as old as this country.

It will also be a fitting treat when you are replaced with a robot too.
That kind of comment is basically you being a total waste of space.
Don't offer anything productive, just offer things that allow you to blame others at your bad gambling.
I just want to highlight this post for its utter stupidity in several regards.
1) I noted above that I did not make a bet on this game.
2) A total waste of space? Ok Malthus
3) Productive? Suggestions to improve the game aren't productive? Should I post a "game of the century" thread on a -250 ML instead?
4) do you always resort to personal insults when you don't have anything substantial to offer?
5) That would mean that you would be replaced with a robot, as well. But as long as i'm replaced with one it's still a "fitting treat?" And you didn't read through the thread, did you? Try replacing a student of literature with a robot. The point is that umpiring requires objectivity and precision and other sports, such as tennis and soccer, are already making use of technology. Baseball, in fact, is as well, with challenges and video review. But it's not really helping.

You are naive to let a reporter brainwashing you to think for a second that MLB will let computer runt he strike zone. This is how they control the game and this will never happen unless they make another league.
Heaven forbid I should listen to a reporter?! lol? What reporter are you even talking about, what difference does it make? Progress comes with time. I wonder what the age split is like--I am assuming that the overwhelming majority of those in favor of umpires consists of much older people. Older people die sooner, get outnumbered...

All sports evolve at different rates but evolve they do
Soccer finally has goal line technology in some countries
Baseball I guess needs it because borderline calls are made not just once or twice per game but multiple times in every inning
But it won't happen until strike three is called on a ball in the bottom of the ninth in game seven of the WS or similar. Needs a very high profile incident before anything will happen....

Not sure why we are not able to do this today, with all of the technology out there.
A satellite can see a cockroach walking across a parking lot but we can't stick a sensor in the belt buckle of batters? Set up radar sonar and all that other jazz?
I know it takes away from America's pastime but c'mon already.
And while we're talkin' about technology how hard is it to also put a few mores cameras (directly above every base?) to assist with replay when needed?
Although the plate umps seem to be in my favor these days from a wagering perspective... I don't see the need to expand or diminish the strike zone based on the count or any other reason.
The strike zone should not be up to interpretation.
