This results in fewer arguments and a lower importance of catcher framing.<\/p>\n<p>Some people like to be able to have calls with umpires. This could lead to different zones. Teams with elite framing skills have an advantage.<\/p>\n<p>While nothing\u2019s been officially decided, ESPN said that MLB intends to consider the results of the AAA experiment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMLB\u2019s intention is to use the data and feedback from both systems, over the full slate of games, to inform future choices,\u201d Buster Olney.<\/p>\n<p>Both sides have valid arguments.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who\u2019s watched their favorite team be affected by poor human umpiring has almost certainly longed for an automated system. <\/p>\n<p>However, the majority of bad calls end up being made over the course the season. However, there are few things more frustrating than seeing a playoff game decided by inconsistent umpiring.<\/p>\n<p>Many Twitter accounts are dedicated solely to showing umpires performing each night. The results can often be very disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>But there will always be those who, out of tradition and goodwill, defend the human element of baseball.<\/p>\n<p>It will be an interesting experiment to see how the system performs, and it is also reviewed at the second highest level in baseball.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s popular, there may be game-changing alterations coming soon to an MLB ballpark near you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robot umpires are becoming more popular in baseball.
