Wonder how much more an automate strike-zone will slow the game down?
Most if not all umpires call pitches on the black strikes even though it is not a strike per the rule book. There will also be no “sympathy strikes” called by “automate” when the game gets out of hand and both teams just want to get the hell out of there. The score of a game is 23 - 2 and the umpire can’t widen the strike-zone to help move the game along to an ending. Geesh!!!  :roll:
Back in the day before all this technology made umpires look bad, you would quickly know when an umpire was either overheated or had an early dinner date because every pitch from your nose to your toes became a strike. If the pitch wasn’t going over the catchers head you better be swinging or you would be quickly walking back to the dugout to take a seat.   :shock:

Let’s go Naaaaaats!!!
