In response to "MLB needs major changes with the umpires. The lack of responsibility to stand up and explain calls is infuriating. There appears to be zero " by Krusty The Anarchist

I drove down Constitution Ave yesterday and saw a lone man in a decent suit carrying a cardboard sign: "Robots need to be designed with empathy" - Max Oct 7, 07:51

The issue I've seen with that is that the box strike zone on telecasts isn't unique. It's the average height of a ballplayer and the same for everyone - spamlet Oct 7, 06:34 6
- I think I saw a replay the other day where the strike zone was definitely moving slightly with the player - Guigue Oct 7, 06:43
- They should have vastly different strike zones. Umps are supposed to adjust the zone based on the guy at the plate. The computer can adjust each - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 7, 06:38 3
  - Your IM is what I mean. Madrigal will have a strike zone from his cap to his feet. Judge will have one from his belt to his knees w/ current tech. -- nm - spamlet Oct 7, 06:39 2
    - Why? Couldn't the computer adjust the zone for each batter? I'm not sure what we see on games today is the tech they're using in the minors - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 7, 06:42 1
      - Hopefully it will. I’m just not assuming that’s the current tech since what we see isn’t. -- nm - spamlet Oct 7, 07:19
- so make all the players robots too and make them all the same height -- nm - decline Oct 7, 06:37
instead of pitchers? that'd jazz up baseball. -- nm - mafic Oct 7, 06:24 1
- Boston Dynamics is on it. -- nm - Reagen Oct 7, 06:32
They should and the ump union needs to get on board or find themselves calling bingo games. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 7, 06:10
