I know, I know, it’s for the purity of the game. Players and umpires alike want the game to be called with a human aspect so there will be errors and bad calls. But if they want the game to be pure, then why does a guy like Scioscia come bounding out of the dugout faster than teenage girl that just got her license? To argue a call that an umpire made and the umpire is too stubborn to overturn. Here are my suggestions for a better baseball experience.
First, the game must be sped up a little bit. This acn be done by instituting a pitch clock. This clock will force guys like Manny Ramirez from stepping out and having a sandwich and stepping back in to the batter’s box.
Second, if you can put little LCD’s everywhere, why not just put one in the umpire’s mask? This will aid the umpire in making strikes and balls. ESPN has it’s K-zone and Fox has its own system as well as Major League Baseball. But none really give an accurate look at the strike zone.
More to come…
