“...if the system fails, it doesn’t pick a pitch up or if it registers a pitch that’s a foot-and-a-half off the plate as a strike, I have to be prepared to correct that,” deBrauwere said before the game.
But if the pitch is just a couple inches outside, he’ll just let it go. Cuz ‘puters.
when humans makes mistake on balls and strikes no one or thing is allowed to correct it.
Players like consistency. They learn what the umpires do from umps to umps. With robots they don’t have to adjust from game to game, more consistency. You’ll never get consistency from one ump to another on balls and strikes.,
