It makes their job a lot easier. Because the MLB will say that the umpire will have less duties and slow down the escalation of pay and other benefits in future contracts.

The Umpires can negotiate a pay raise in return for acceptance of the automated strike zone. It's fairly simple. If their union isn't doing that for them their leader is a moron. The Umps have all of the leverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come replay hasn't slowed it down? It isn't necessary if they are right or wrong most of the time anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
