To me, all robo umps need to do is be consistent. That seems like the easiest part of it to do, so it seems like a no brainer. Pitchers and catchers will quickly adjust to the strike zone set by the program. As a hitter or a pitcher, I'd love to know what a strike is and always will be.
-
Actually, I don't. It seems like the traditionalist ("human element people") and anti-stat people are all against robo umps. The stat guys may seem a little more mixed. Just my impression. I haven't really noticed any one person being contradictory on the two issues.

Good point. I'm not sure how you do that, but the Rays seemed to be pretty good at evaluating ML talent and finding hidden gems that didn't cost much. I'm hopeful Bloom will carry some of that over to the Sox where he can maybe get even better pitchers, because we can spend more than TB could. The Astros traded for Verlander, Cole and Greinke. They gave up some top prospects and got one ring, so far. We traded a lot to get Sale and spent a fortune on Price.

Who dat?

Maybe not totally meaningless, but your point is well taken. BTW, we will never see the day of a 100% balanced schedule in any major sport.

That's how I see it, although going by just records has its flaws. I expanded it to the 4 teams with the 2 best records in each league vs all the rest (4 teams or 6, if you count the play-in game loser). The score is 11 to 6 with the top teams winning almost 2 out of every 3 years. World Series Champs Rankings in their league - last 17 years: 1st: 8 wins 2nd: 3 wins 3rd: 3 wins 4th: 3 wins

You got that right! -
The one thing the box does is show whether the same pitch is called a strike one time and not the other.
-
Robo umps for ball & strikes makes a lot of sense. It will make it so much easier for pitchers and batters to know what is a strike and ball and not have to adjust to an ump from game to game or wonder if they have to swing at a ball the next time, because it was just called a strike this time. It should also, eventually, lead to less frustration and arguments by players and managers.

Cole should have gotten into this game, before it got out of hand. What were they saving him for?

I think he wanted a Clinton. -
Wow, 1924 was the last MLB team to win it all from Washington. What team is has gone the longest, now?
-
Yes, he came up a year after Lester, so I didn't think he should count, but yes.
-
Like I've been saying all along, it's a total crappy shoot!
-
Next up? Statehood.
-
I think they were pushing it by asking for 7 innings. The HR was a monster shot. It was a close call. The next guy might have walked Soto anyways. It was a crap shoot!
-
I'd have taken him out after the HR & before the BB.
-
So much for Greinke not being able to handle the bright lights.
-
I thought he expressed interest in living out west. Maybe I'm wrong. Also, Bill Russel and Ted Williams never had a choice. (No free agency back then)
-
I could see us looking to acquire him.
-
He just has to beat out Kopech, Logan Allen, Groome and who else?
-
Price will not come close to the innings Porcello gave us. That's what Porcello was best known for. It's weird how Price's deepest game came in mid April.
-
I like Sale's chances more than Price & Eovaldi combined. My projection: WAR 2020 to 2022: Sale > Price+ Eovaldi (This could happen, even if Sale misses a full season with an injury.) 2019 fWAR: 3.6 Sale 2.0 Price (2.3) + Eovaldi (-0.3)

Can we agree on one thing? The only thing good about the Cards, beside being our bitches the last 15 years, is their cool uniforms.
