How about a chip in the old football accurately signifying where the ball is at all times? Asking for a friend and DUCKING!
I’m sorry, but “Hey, Blue, your technology is screwed up” just doesn’t cut it.
This is all wrong. I hate seeing the video game boxes they draw around the strike zone. They do not belong there either.
Good movie listed below.
Kill The Umpire 1950

A checked swing, dropped third strike is going to be a riot to watch.

One of the most overrated movies ever.
Major League is the best baseball movie, ever.
Good. It’s well past time for “my strike zone” to end. The day Curt Schilling said he reviewed tape of umps to get a handle on their strike zone before a game MLB should have realized they had a serious problem, but of course they didn’t. If the league won’t get serious about making the umps call the actual rule book then this is next best thing.
They’ve actually contemplated this for years. The problem is the ball is big and since most of the rules involve the ball “touching the imaginary plane” it presents a bit of a challenge. Most thoughts revolve around putting 6 chips in the ball, one in each tip and for around the middle, but then you still have to figure out which one is most forward, preferably in real time. At some point it will happen. But censor tech and 3D modeling will have to get a lot better.
Yep
