The MLB is testing its Automated Ball-Strike technology in the minors, and judging by this video I think I'd stick with human umpires
· Jul 9, 2021 · NottheBee.com

This is the MLB's Atlantic League, and I think this would at least be a little better if there was a robot umpire standing there so you could just go scream in his face for five minutes after a bogus call like this:

It's a nice touch that the home stadium starts playing "Let It Go" from Frozen as if someone could just walk away and feel fine after being robbed in such a way.

I might support this technology once it actually starts making the right calls.

Until then I'm good with a slightly imperfect human being.
