Blackwater 53393 Posted October 10, 2024 Posted October 10, 2024 A double edged sword!! On one hand, it may eliminate some sloppy judging and streamline gameplay. On the other hand, it removes a human element that has been a staple in competition and the results COULD be manipulated electronically!
Blackwater 53393 Posted October 10, 2024 Posted October 10, 2024 OH!! And they’re already using electronic umpiring in the minor leagues, particularly in ball and strike calls!
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 10, 2024 Posted October 10, 2024 Out/safe calls on the bases still need a human element. someday they might do something electronic like in fencing but that’s way off.
Rye Miles #13621 Posted October 10, 2024 Posted October 10, 2024 I don’t like it! Umpires for the most part get it right and the hitters and pitchers adjust to the different umps when they’re calling high or low strikes. Sure there’s mistakes but as Blackwater said the electronics can be manipulated. Who do you trust more??
Sedalia Dave Posted October 10, 2024 Posted October 10, 2024 Bad calls are an integral part of sports. To eliminate umpires and line judges is just plain wrong.
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted October 10, 2024 Posted October 10, 2024 It's funny to me that world class athletes still drop balls, make other mistakes but expect referees or umpires to be mistake free. They always talk about Ted Williams vision. His abilty to see the ball better then anyone and of course a fighter pilot. He could have been the best behind the plate umpire ever. But do you want to see him there or at bat, hitting.
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted October 11, 2024 Posted October 11, 2024 What's next, AI spotters that can see through BP smoke? Maybe a Cyberdyne Systems model T101? I can see it now... T101 - Dat Vas A Procedural Und Two Misses. Me - I think you are wrong, I got the P but I hit all the targets. T101 - You're Terminated!

Is that because tennis is so boring that the Line Judges loose their focus. Or is it because they are like SASS spotters and are too busy BSing.
