While I have always hated instant replay with a passion. The robo ump thing is a bit different because it is not a replay. It is using technology to take the human element out of the decision making process. Which is essentially the essence of why instant replay doesn't really do the job in my opinion. So I find myself way more accepting of the robo ump than I thought I would be. I wonder how it's implementation would change the way pitchers are developed? Would there be a shift from fireball throwing no control guys to people that can actually pitch and locate? Would MLB be able to stomach the fact that offense would probably suffer since soup can strike zones would become a thing of the past if the zone was actually called by what the rule book dictates? To me those are some interesting thoughts.
