I really hope baseball does the right thing and moves to automated balls and strikes...that would eliminate the BS framing concept...speed up games and cause less ejection and arguments.

I couldn't disagree more. I'm all for fairness but baseball is a silly, ridiculous sport. For instance, home runs are inherently a stupid idea as they run counter to the rest of the sport, and this is amplified by the lack of standardization of ballparks. Eventually people who share your view will win out as they always do in these situations, and I'm dreading that day, because the umpire is a part of the fun.
