Not bad.
 
Yankees versus Red Sox will be the real test to see if the rules work. Except the Yankees likely can't hit anymore.
 
I know it's too liberal of an idea for the baseball purists. I'm all for modernization though

I'm not really opposed to it, but there's something to be said for the skills involved in learning an ump's strikezone (assuming it's actually consistent), and also pitch framing. Taking those elements out of the game isn't necessarily a good thing.
 
PPHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
Freakin' torture man....

Seriously, the only guys in our pitching staff that I trust are Bum, Affeldt and Casilla. The rest are too unpredictable.

Automatic strike zones are idiotic. Because they are gonna be standardized. People will learn to game the machines instantly.

The human element is necessary.

If you go automatic why not also go pitching machines and robots? :P

Yea it's gotta be people, but replay is a good thing for some cases.
