    I can't wait until computers replace umpires

    Just saw the end of the Nats' game. What's the point of video review when it just wastes time and gets the call wrong. I know every 70+ year old, sentimentalist and radical conservative will disagree with me. But can't we just at least catch up to tennis and soccer (line/goal line technology)?

    Why are you so sure of that? They've already thankfully gotten rid of collisions at the plate/the catcher blocking the path to the plate and of allowing the baserunner to karate chop the infielder in order to break up the double play.

    Huh? Just talking about replacing umpires with robots. I think people who would like to see a game with more integrity? Where games are decided by the players that they paid to see and not some senile old guys.

    Did you see the end of the Nats game today? I just find it sad that we spend so much time talking about these fat old guys instead of the players.

    No I didnt see any of that game, but I believe you. Sometimes I wish theyd just remove the little strike box on tv so I wouldnt get so mad.
