Major League Baseball has rolled out its Automated Ball/Strike System aka Robo- Umps this season. (Robot umpires have been tested in the minor leagues since 2019)

The roll out also includes a Challenge system where the human umpire makes each call, which can be appealed to the computer.

Each team has the ability to challenge two calls per game. Only a batter, pitcher or catcher may challenge a call, and a challenge must be made within 2 seconds.

A graphic of the pitch and strike zone is shown on the scoreboard and sent to the TV broadcast feed. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/robot-umpires-coming-mlb-200914061.html #MLB #BaseBall #RoboUmp #Umpires #Cameras #StrikeZone #ABS #Automation #AI

Im Gegensatz zum #VereinigtenKönigreich werden die #Cricket #Umpires hier in #Deutschland #gleichBezahlt, unabhängig vom Geschlecht oder vom Spiel, das sie leiten.

Aber wie im #UK bezahlen wir sie alle viel zu wenig.

You know who’s having trouble with the pitch clock? It’s not #pitchers. Or #hitters. Or #umpires. It’s the “color” guys on local #radio broadcasts. They’re so used to a specific pace for the game that allows them to tell their stories and offer their analysis. They cannot keep up with this new pace. I don’t know whether TV is better. My team doesn’t do #SpringTraining and YouTube TV doesn’t carry the MLB Network anymore. #Baseball

Yes. One step closer to yeeting Vic Carapazza into the sun.
