It's over. Go back to having Joe West and the human element deciding strike calls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 2 hours ago, southsider2k5 said: Exactly. It's textbook availability bias. I can't take anyone seriously who claims to watch baseball games (especially this year) and thinks home plate umpires are better than a system that, even if flawed, is likely accurate close to 99% of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 That automated zone was no worse than the one the Sox hitters were getting a few days ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it will take several iterations of identifying and fixing bugs to get it to the point that it can be used at high levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Bump. Not only is an automated strike zone needed, but the MLB needs to limit the umpire's responsibilities as much as possible. Today we saw an amazing series end on a completely blown call. This isn't even a debate anymore. The technology is there. Dump the ump.

joejoesox Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I'm not going to defend any of those videos, because they just look terrible. But people need to realize the strike zone is a 3-Dimensional space, it isn't an invisible wall that the ball has to pass through. Even when the bugs are 100% completely ironed out, we will start to realize that some of the pitches we have thought for years were one thing, were actually the opposite.

kitekrazy Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 We could always use more ways to ruin the game which already has a declining interest. Taking the human element out of any sport is ridiculous. It seems like the MO of most Sox fans is complaining about the officiating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That took the human element out of the game. The last play of the Dodgers-Giants series was marred by a blown strike call. That's what you want kept in the game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 This game will be a tipping point for the implementation of the automatic strike zone. There will be a push for it. You can't have this happening on the biggest stage. It's simply embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of the human owners and GMs. Let a computer decide who the Sox should sign, trade for, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
