I'm a 100% for Robo umps, but bastardizing the game like that would make me vote to just keep it as is over that mockery of this great game.

We have a way to get the correct call made 100% of the time. The fact that some are against that idea furthers my lack of trust in mankind.

That's an awful way to talk about Kimmi. 😄

I specifically said "mankind," not "womankind."

Kimmi? Say it ain't so...!

Jesus!  Since the ump themselves are graded according to how well their calls reflect whatever electronic system is used, JUST USE THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM.   We don't watch baseball to determine who the best ump is.

Well said. When a hitter gets hosed and is struck out on a pitch 2 inches off the plate, it stays with them for the game. Same  with a pitcher who makes a perfect pitch but has it called a ball. With the technology assisted strike zone, catcher framing would not be beneficial either.

Just the idea of catch framing being a skill should be enough to convince everyone for ROBO UMPS
