If calling balls and strikes super accurately was possible, we'd already have seen it. It's not easy. The ump vs madbum was 100% wrong but bitching about a strike zone that's a ball or two off the plate is crap. I'd love to see any of you guys do better, and this is a job that just about anyone can do, so go for it. Last year's data showed that the ump was correct 94% of the time. This
Lot of downvotes but you’re right. Figuring out an umps zone and adjusting is part of the game. These dipshits won’t stop til they’ve completely ruined the sport. It’s hilarious how everyone expects officials to be perfect when players and coaches aren’t even close to it. These umps and other pro officials are so much better at their jobs than Joe Blow running to the internet to criticize them. You have people that have never stepped on a t ball field to call a game acting like they know better than someone who spent just as much or more time getting to the pro level as the players did. People that criticize sports officials nonstop are absolute retards.

Don't give me that bullshite. Umpires are well compensated, get great benefits, and are members of a union that protects them no matter how much they suck at their jobs.
When I watch professional sports, including professional umpires, I expect better than this:

Shitty players and coaches get released and fired. Angel Hernandez and CB Bucknor keep officiating

I agree....there are balls bouncing in the dirt that the robo umps are calling strikes in the minors where they do use it because it shows the ball crossing the zone.
The Compound Podcast that Ian Happ for the Cubs does = he does it with two of his buddies that are still in the minors and have experienced it. So if you think the players who have played under it are all on board with robo umps you are mistaken.
There's a ways to go in the technology and also there has to be some consensus on what the "real" strike zone is before you can even begin to validate this.
The variables and complications in this are endless.
Players gripe endlessly now because an imperfect template is up there for every pitch to judge the umps. Geez, what other profession is every single decision one makes instantly judged by a system that is flawed?
