Those were the article writers words, not mine. I am not much of a baseball fan myself, but i would think that an electronic system to automatically call balls and strikes could only enhance the game.

Okay sorry. I am not a huge baseball fan myself but enjoy local teams. It seems to me that such a system if not feasible now soon will be, and I would not object. Umps could still make calls if system went down, and also call strikes on checked swing.

And they could use drones to run the bases for them, and there's already
a machine to pitch the ball. While were at it, where are those hotdog vending machines
and beer dispensers? And no more parking lots either, everybody take the bus.

WTH, stadiums are to big, they only need a room with a TV monitor and CGI to
reproduce each play with players named Zeebert, and Zzzbot.

Avid baseball fan for the local team...

I always wondered how umps actually see the ball as a strike or a ball when crouched down behind the catcher...some are obvious ball or strike but many are a close call...

Instead of a electronic device calling the shots, I'd like to see the coach have the ability to have a called pitch reviewed...maybe two or three per game...

I've seen LOT'S of suspect calls when games were on the line...
