You forgot the sarcasm tag. Until the MLB gets rid of all the “my strike zone” umps they do not show a legitimate product.

balls and strikes is the only subjective call in baseball, mostly. In the NFL every play ... EVERY play . . . is subjective. It is fake. Live with it. This past year’s Super Bowl was the phoniest game that I have ever seen.

When do you think we’ll reach a tipping point where fans are essentially demanding that a computer call balls and strikes?

It is amazing that for 150 years or so, ballplayers have had to adjust their approach to the most essential part of the game to the whims of some random dude behind the plate.
