Robot umps behind home plate.

We need a MESF. I feel like I got there a couple of pitches yesterday that we're in the zone that, you know, umps definitely miss.

It's just at this point with technology where we need everything to be the same.

Baseball is the only sport, which I think is great, but I also think it's absolutely shitty for actual records.
