Please remove the human element and make the Umps field administrators of the game.
And frick the SEC home office on video reviews.

I don't pay my REC dues just to have a fair, unbiased system.

This is why you don't limit a teams challenges if they keep getting overturned.

MLB umpire accuracy in calling balls and strikes has generally improved over the last few seasons, reaching a high point of approximately 92.8% in 2023. While 2024 saw a very slight dip in overall accuracy to around 92.5%, performance remains near historic highs

I only have two issues with the ABS system.
From my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) it
1) reads a few inches in front of the plate, so a ball breaking inward could be called a ball by ABS and technically cross the plate in the zone.
2) It is a standard height (8.5 inches I believe) and doesn't adjust batter to batter. This means Aaron Judge and Jose Altuve have the same strike zone according to ABS, and not "extending vertically from the midpoint between a batter’s shoulders and the top of their pants, down to the hollow beneath the kneecap" as per the rule book.

Wrong. It is based on each individual players height. They were all measured in spring training.
The top of the strike zone is set at 53.5% of the player height and the bottom is set at 27%.

This is completely inaccurate and there was a video put out using these exact two players.
Aaron Judge’s strike zone is 20% larger than Altuve’s

Eventually basketball fouls should be called using multi angle sensors with officials there to aid the process.
Completely infuriating when they call different games or even halfs with different rules for contact or grabbing.
A foul in the B10 should be a foul in the ACC but it isn’t and it makes for an entirely different game.
Watch the 1H of the Bama-UM game and watch the 2H. UM was clearly a better team and deserved to win, but the point is the entire game was changed by the level of contact allowed on screens and hand checks which completely altered the pace and style of play.
Why do we allow officials whims to dictate games and in an era of massive sports betting I don’t think people realize how impacted some games might be moving forward.

I need to know if that 92% is all pitches… a lot are clear balls and strikes that drive up that percentage

The Atlanta Braves pitchers years ago, including Tom Glavine, wouldn’t have gotten out of the minor leagues to play professional baseball in the majors with ABS. If they made it but were forced to throw strikes, the Braves would have been a mediocre team at best. Maybe like the Pirates today!

The Braves were notorious, known around the League by opposing players... "Ah, that's just the Braves, the Umps bought into the Braves idea of a strike zone" etc...
Drove fans crazy in the 90s...if it was a perfect strike as framed by the catcher, it was called a strike...nevermind that the framing of the pitch was 3-inches wide off the plate.
To Baseball's credit...the special "Braves strike zone" got tightened up in the Playoffs and it showed up in results on the field.
I think the Umpiring was generally terrible in the 90s out of Ump arrogance and the conceit to "be different" or "have your own zone"... Braves took advantage of this better than anyone. Leo Mazzone understood, if he had his pitchers consistently throw framed pitches 3-inches wide off the plate, that pitch eventually becomes a standard strike. Joe West said, the Braves dugout would heckle and bully younger Umps during games until they got the zone they wanted...there was no standard but peer pressure.

I do wish they could make it three dimensional where it’s over all five points of the plate.
With the way it is, a ball could break in or out of zone and be called wrong.

Yeah, we even had two pitches BACK TO BACK we challenged yesterday, and won both.
It was fricking delightful.

First of all, they should be held to strict health levels. There is no reason to have some obese guy trying to call strikes, lower than has gut allows him to squat. If you can't get lower, you are absolutely guessing.
But who cares, the strike zone can be easily digitally called.

Had a broadcast talk about this and they were saying it’s a cube and isn’t just a 2 dimensional square.
One of those discussions where they were explaining why fans see pitches 1 way, but the umps & ABS will see it different
