DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers

MLB continues its experiment with robot umpires by announcing that it will be used with select AAA teams for this coming season.

The system works via a real umpire who uses an IPhone and ear cord in tandem with a sensor above home plate. That sensor then detects pitch location, relays the data to the IPhone and then sends an audio file to the ump?s ear, telling him to either call a ?ball? or ?strike.?

It really is not new technology. It is the same system that tv broadcasters use to show viewers pitch location.

This new system is shown to be significantly more accurate than actual umpires, esp. if Angel Hernandez is behind the plate. However, it is not fool-proof as some systems may get off-kilter and need to be re-adjusted.

But it does take the human element out of the game.

Which system is actually better for the game?

Today?s blog addresses this dilemma and allows readers to share their thoughts in more detail. And hopefully, to actively engage with others by responding to their posts and creating back-and-forth discussion threads. The more the merrier!

For this one blog only, you?ve got 6 sentences max to share your thoughts. Of course, you can respond to as many other readers as you want.

TT will supply the ammunition. One thought-provoking question. Several options provided. One hard choice to be selected. One vote.

Ready?

Which umpiring system should MLB use behind the plate?

1. Keep the real umpires calling balls and strikes.

2. Use a robo-system to call balls and strikes.

Sam McMillan, catcher in the Tigers system, has retired.
McMillan was the 5th round pick in Avila's somewhat infamous 2017 draft, a high schooler the Tigers paid above-slot value after going cheap with their 2nd and 4th round picks.
