Umpires Are Now Obsolete

[SJA]

Human umpires will be obsolete within a few years in MLB and possibly MiLB. With the advancing technology starting with the new "replay" system, that will become more progressive to the point that human umpires will not be necessary. The "new umps" will be humans that have the knowledge to use, work, and control such technological equipment that eliminates all human error from the field. . . . IMHO . . . think about it.

Sad :-(

Sounds like whining to me.

"The sky is falling...the sky is falling". It hasn't happened in football, has it ?

[SJA]

HELL, I'm not whining a bit about it! . . . won't make or break me, . . . just a "thought of the future "

Oh . . . and Pete, football is like boxing, people want to see blood and hurt. No comparison to baseball.

He's right; MLB umpires will go extinct like the NBA and NFL officials did.

I'm the most sarcastic person I know BUT with text it can be difficult to tell when he didn't put one of those weird little smileys or the ~ thing or whatever.

@Rulekeep - Not a stutter, per se. Just a lack of introduction. But, fear not. Stay on the righteous path and someday you may become a resident smart-ass. Right now I will dub you a S.A.I.T. Give it some time. Like every other worthwhile pursuit, it takes practice and dedication to become a ringer with the zingers. Follow me, young jedi.

You call me young, I'm gonna break out the old age snark. Which is probably my most developed area of smartassery...

@Rulekeep - the first rule of smartassery.....go with what you know. A more diverse repertoire will develop in time. For now, perfect the weapons you have at your dispersal. Be patient. It'll come. :D

No, you say? Those officials got more respect and higher compensation? And rather than laying off, the leagues hired more officials to watch the replays? This is gonna suck...
