You're losing the argument so bad you've become focused on the guy's pecker. That's sad.

Also, as far as I am concerned I have never seen an umpire make a call that was wrong.
Is this some way of saying that if an umpire makes the calls it's always correct because his judgement should be infaliable...or are you honestly suggesting that you've never seen an umpire calls a ball or strike that was clearly the opposite?
I'm REALLY hoping you're going for the first one...

you really keep making yourself look like a fool with each post

No it is an example of how just because a machine being able to accomplish something more efficiently doesn't mean it should be adopted...

Congrats on the worst first 9 posts in the history of the internets.

You suck at analogies, really.

The same type of digital, sensory technology could be similarly implemented to impeccably determine whether base runners are safe or out.
Baseball is an analog sport in a rapidly evolving digital world.

You probably should just :e-suicide: now. I'm thinking alter though. You've been around for a while.

Is that what the rule book says?
No it isn't. But I think that the fact that each umpire is different adds an element that the players have to adjust to. I understand the argument for it, but I don't entirely understand your arguments against the current system. Is it because not every call is perfect? Also, what is it in baseball that the umpire's calls take away from the players?

Suppose LSU has to adjust more than Texas because the referee has an agenda, or because he subconsciously favors one team over another? Should that remain part of the game?

It is the first one.
The umpires are going to make calls that you don't agree with. That happens in all sports. But remove that human element I can guarantee you that baseball, which is already suffering badly, will fall apart. Hell, as a fan half of the fun of being at a baseball game is yelling at the ump for calls that you didn't agree with. Calls will not always go your way, that is with everything in life. Also, in my opinion, I want to keep baseball as technology free as possible. Don't get me wrong, it works out great for football when determining distance, catches, tds, etc., but outside of determining whether or not the hit was a hr, I don't want a computer interfering with my favorite sport.

Consistency of officiating. I'm not sure I understand why ALWAYS getting EVERY call correct if it were possible and would not interfere AT ALL with the flow of the game would be worse for the game...unless you made your living as an umpire.
How would having a constant, rigid, never altering strikezone be bad?

This is my favorite argument against umpires. "Well, the umpire obviously had an agenda so he picked his favorite team to win and screwed the other one over."

The real question is do you want to perserve baseball in its traditional or purist form (it has already evolved some) or do you want to modernize it.
I believe it will eventually be modernized. Kicking and screaming, but eventually. I think it might have to if it wants to continue to be a viable medium of entertainment.
Posted on 6/25/09 at 4:55 pm to Tigreat
why are you assuming umpires have agendas?
Not being confrontational, just actually curious.

Agreed. I'm in favor of keeping baseball in it's current state.
