It’s really not robo-umps but a challenge system. Whatever. Typical MLB to choose a half-arse system that only delays the action. A better method would be to install a buzzer in the home plate ump’s ball/strike counter device already in his hand. The device would buzz when the system determines the pitch was a strike. The HP ump remains in control and can over-rule the buzzer if desired and will make all other calls – foul balls, out/safe, etc. The ball/strike box could be tied to the same box that viewers see on TV.
With this system the umpires can leave their white canes and dogs at home.
I hope this system is more dependable than Comcast or Metronet…though if that’s the standard, we’re better off with the canes and dogs…
