Perhaps give each team 5 challenges/game on balls and strikes? The result would be know immediately so no delay. Since each umpire seems to have their unique strike zone maybe, for consistency purposes, a small adjustment could be made to the strike zone for how the umpire has been calling the zone. This would have to be implemented by starting with the actual zone at the beginning of the game to the umpires zone as the game moves on. Not a complete correction but maybe a 50% adjustment that would be updated after every pitch and set a limit on the amount of any adjustment (maybe two inches?). Just some suggestions. I really don't want to see a game completely called by artificial intelligence, robot or otherwise.

I agree with the traditionalist rights to object to AI use but suggestions like this acknowledge the existence of problems but really don't want to fix what is wrong only dance around the dilemma.The current system is rife with inaccuracies we got to either go AI or accept a very flawed structure.How do all the naysayers feel about instant replay which addressed basically the same issues?

I don't agree with using robots to call balls and strikes and humans calling everything else. Replay is a bit better than what we had but I would rather have the human reviewing the play call it without knowledge of the human call on the field. I don't particularly like using replay or AI to call parts of a game and humans to call other parts. I don't even like replay in football. They zone in on a particular area and ignore all other factors on the play. Perhaps if the offense challenges a defensive PI judgement call then the defense should be able to challenge that the offense was holding on the play also.

imo it is the perfect place for automation --a pitch in the zone or not--quite simple. I agree with your other replay scenarios that a lot of moving parts create problems. A single badly called pitch skews the whole at bat for either pitcher or batter,why should this be acceptable?

I would ask the rhetorical "Is nothing sacred?" here, but obviously to some, nothing is.

I heard the roboump called one neck high a strike. Hope THAT was overruled!

I hope the robot zapped him with a laser beam.

But I thought RoboUmp would be perfecto. Hmmm

The game was less perfect but more entertaining before replay
The Umps do have an attitude, some of them are out of shape, but is the delays in the game cause of replay worth it?
I miss the Bobby Cox kind of rants getting in the umps face not that would change the call
But Robo Umps to call balls and strikes. Seems like it can be done when we see that rectangular box on TV but will that make the game better?
I might hold off on Robo Umps to call anything for now, but the game can get Umps that are not such Drickheads like your Joe West, Angel Hernandez and Doug Eddings attitudes. Eastabrook is another jerk to other teams not as much the Braves
The game could get the Umps union to its knees more than the players union, half of them could be replaced. Joe West is a real attitude - I still think he is head of that union

And I don't recall anybody ever saying it would be perfect, just better than what we have now. But of course what we have now is a really super weak standard.

I didn't see this until I read the comments, but one of the umps took a vape.

What I noticed was several really low balls that were called strikes. They described it as the very top of the ball grazed the very bottom of the zone. Those pitches looked almost unhittable.
