Korean Baseball ump makes mistake, crew chief tells them to lie and blame robo ump

The whole saga might have ended there, with a very disgruntled Dinos manager and some serious questions about the reliability of the ABS system. Except Lee Min-ho was lying, and he’d accidentally just revealed it on national television.
 
While the conversation from the umpires’ huddle before the PA announcement was drowned out by the noise in the ballpark, clips of what they said were broadcast to audiences watching the game from home.
 
"We should tell people you heard ‘ball.’ Got it? That is the only way for us to get out of this,” Lee Min-ho was heard telling Moon.
 
After Moon agreed, Lee Min-ho doubled down: "You have to say 'it was ball,' not 'it sounded like ball,' if we don't want to get hammered for this."
 
But it wasn’t “ball.” The KBO has since confirmed that the call was “strike,” it was always “strike,” and the error was entirely on Moon.  
 
For whatever reason — be it mishearing the call, ignoring the call, forgetting to wait for the call, or losing focus for a second and winging it in the most spectacularly unsuccessful way — Moon had gone off script for at least that one pitch and delivered a call that directly contradicted what the ABS voice was saying in his ear. Lee Min-ho had then attempted to put the blame on the ABS, rather than admitting it was Moon's mistake.

As if we need more delays in baseball, a 3 pitch delay by robot detection sounds great!

The delay was only caused by them having human umps make the call rather than the robo ump

Biggest thing I got from this is that this was probably the best written sports article I’ve read in years, and it came from something called the Korean JoongAng Daily.

Maybe journalism is only dying in the US.

places that still work through a meritocratic system and not to fill DEI quotas are still doing fine surprisingly

I do wonder how dominant pitchers would be with a larger strike zone that robo umps allow.

MLB would probably have to tighten it up
