I find it extremely funny that some people think that robot umps will help the hitters and others think it will help the pitchers. Some people think it will speed the game up and some people think it will slow the game down. Honestly, the only thing we know for sure before testing it is that there will be a lot more consistency and a lot less griping about calls and that will a great thing for the game.
With all the big money at stake for the players now and bets on the games by gamblers I suppose I am going to have to explore agreeing with you on the idea of a robo-ump. Nobody likes being “wronged” especially when it comes to money.
However, I feel one of the greatest lessons I ever taught youngsters on a baseball field was, “life isn’t always fair” and to obtain any kind of success at anything they would have to learn how to over come those obstacles.
Carry on. Guess I’ve become nothing more than a rambling old man that doesn’t like change in his life anymore.  :old:
