I, however, respectully disagree. Baseball is our oldest most pure sport... the rules havent changed in any significant way (save the DH in the AL) since Jackie Robinson. The umpires are as organic to the game as the wood and leather. The umpire makes a decision that affects the game everytime it leaves the control of the pitcher. The dynamic of bad calls and reconciliatory bad calls is part of the game. It is organic and beautiful and human. And this could be a slippery slope that could end in the TV strike tracker determining the strike zone. The umpires are part of the game. I hate the instant replay. Feels sac-religious. Thanks Mike.
