Other Sports Is it time to let technology call balls and strikes? - Page 5

I admit, it has been a bit frustrating to watch the inconsistency in balls and strikes in such critical games, at such critical times this postseason. We know the technology is there, and then the boo jays can't cry about the umps.

What do you think?

I still enjoy watching a pitcher earn a corner with a specific pitch.

I completely understand it, but the searching for daylight between home plate and the tip of a cleat to determine a call annoys the hell out of me.

I guess the human element and spirit of the game allow me to overlook the inconsistency.
