In addition to my prior comment, I've always thought the best path would be an automated "assist".
So you get the human calls from the ump, but at the same time there's a way of signaling if any are egregious. If so, you can override the human call.
Problem is, that process would happen often and need to take less time than a standard play review, which already can drag, and it has to be agreeable.
- ec109685 5y agoThis seems the other way. The umpire hears what the machine said and I guess makes final determination?
- spike021 5y agoMaybe, but I figure the typical "#umpshow" issues would continue to play into it if the umps still make a decision with whatever they're given by the machine. The way I see it with what I initially posted, the ump can make a call but with the machine backing every pitch, it'll be easy to stop emotional calls from continuing.
