Re: MLB Off-Topic

Less whining from batters and pitchers (and the announcers) will be nice.

So MLB is now giving teams cameras to steal signs ... coming soon to every MLB ballpark.

I still don't know how I feel about it, honestly. As much as I like the human element in the calling of the game, umps like Angel Hernandez constantly demonstrate the need for this. Maybe it's just a natural evolution of the game through technology.

It'll be weird once it gets implemented in regular season (whenever that happens) and I'd have to start using the "Perfect" strike zone in The Show to emulate it. Those personalized zones can affect the game so much.
Maybe they use it to finally fire umps. Allow some human error, but once you are over a % wrong you are removed for retraining and put in the minors. You work your way back or you are gone.

Why would you want incorrect calls?

I can live with some human error, as long as they are boderline calls. It depends on how the cameras will call strikes and if there will be any differences from ballpark to ballpark, batter to batter, etc. Strike zones are different and how the cameras adjust to a hitters stance and how they measure it on the fly will help me decide if I want them call the pitches.

I think players and announcers are always gonna find a way to whine about the strike zone.....especially when the robot zones call those high strikes on the corners

Glad we have players coming out and basically saying cheating is worth it with these penalties. Good job Manfred.
