Earl Weaver would just unplug the thing and kick dirt on it.

Soon to be followed by robot hitters. Turning sport into a video game.

Robot fans and stadium staff.
Virtualize the whole thing later.

Interesting. Thanks for posting. When Verlander was in Detroit, he was constantly getting squeezed by the umps. It was disgusting.

This should put more offense into the game because umps usually call the plate as if it’s 16 inches wide, or at least 14 to my observation.

I met umpire Bill Haller in the 70’s.
Around that same time, I met Billy Martin.

Why 5 yers? I watch the players not the umpires throwing the players out of the game. Their union is too strong.

What’s the point?
You could replace all the players with robots too.
Would result in 0.999 batting averages, 100 mph trips around the bases, games that would end at a pre-determined time because no “team” would ever accumulate 3 outs.
It’s about humans, not machines.
To: DIRTYSECRET
If these robot umpires are outfitted with a CIWS, it could get messy...

Yeah, even without ump crimping of strike zones for particular pitchers, it typically takes a trip through the batting order of both teams to figure the zone of each ump.
