I hate how much sway these 50+ year old men have in the game.
Can we please go to a robo-ump?

What does their age have to do with it?

If it makes you feel better, I retract the age bit. Point still stands. Go to robo-ump
Have you followed tennis??? On hard courts some venues just rely on the robot official with zippo challenges. It mainly shuts the player chirping, but you miss it. Clay can't do it yet…the lines are "mobile".
Robo umps are way past due
WAY past
WAY past

Umm, processing speed and eyesight is better when younger.
How many pro sports players do you see over 50?

I believe there's 2 in this pool of umpires.

That's a stretch. You're comparing a guy calling balls and strikes to a guy actually on the field competing.
Stop acting like a 50 year old dude is a 90 year old dementia patient. Just a lazy argument.

They are being asked to track 100+ fastballs that run horizontally and barely clip the zone. Age does matter. It's not everything, but it matters.
This ump has been all over the place on the outside

Get back to me when you're 50 and see how "decrepit" you are.
Y'all kill me.
IT's easy to demand someone's job get replaced by a robot until the day that your job is replaced by a robot.
How'd you like that 'foul ball' call? No one said anything about being decrepit, just that better options are out there.$240 Worth of Pudding said:Vepp said:Know how I know you are over 50?$240 Worth of Pudding said:TAMUallen said:$240 Worth of Pudding said:

Home plate ump has been pretty inconsistent to say the least.

The OP made a point of saying 50+ year old men.
Bad umps are bad umps regardless of age.
And this dude behind the plate has been bad all day.
Both coaches have been rightfully frustrated….. They've both pointed out that these are not SEC umpires.
They are not able to keep up with the speed of the game. Very inconsistent.

I am the OP, maybe your 50+ eyesight is bad? And you focused on that ancillary point- instead of the actual point about robo-umps. You're playing the victim card like a millennial.$240 Worth of Pudding said:Vepp said:How'd you like that 'foul ball' call?

Need a 23 year old out there checking his snap between innings

lol. Says the generation that made "Okay Boomer" a thing. "Ancillary point" my ass. You wrote what you wrote for a reason. Own it.
The age has nothing to do with it. Again, a ****ty ump is a ****ty ump whether he's 25 or 55.
Ump did his job to get a game three for ESPN to have content tomorrow night.
So, is this settled? No grumpy 50+ yr old umps anymore?
They are definitely coming. Everyone from HS to MLB is finally making plans to get them in. This transition period though is even more rough because of that it seems like. I know hating on blue is just baseball but good lord he truly was all over today. For both sides.
Younger umps have all of the top accuracy scores in the MLB and there is a clear decline with age.$240 Worth of Pudding said:TAMUallen said:$240 Worth of Pudding said:

Honestly I can see AI being behind home plate down the road.

It's Scott Cline. Just the way the ncaa drew it up.
I agree with tech calling balls and strikes, but if anyone thinks a 50-year old is "old", lord help you.
It's only a matter of time before we get robo umps. There have been some terrible calls this MCWS.
Or contract it out to a MLB ump not named Angel Hernandez.
I feel that MLB umps are light years ahead of college umps.

I think it has more to do with the fact that we have Trackman that can detect and record the spin rate of a baseball, within a quarter inch, but we still have fat loser idiots calling what is and is not a strike, with it changing inning to inning and team, v team.

It's who he is.
Rather have him today than tomorrow though.
Granted, having someone else might have meant no game tomorrow.
The technology exists to get it correct, it's a shame that it is not implemented.
Scottie has been this bad his whole career
I wonder what word's you can't say to an AI Robot.
