challenges--what should it be

[dumbdumb]

all right--MLB seems to think 2 challenges will be the number. what say ye.

through the first 15 games only, there were 153 missed pitches. so basically 10 average (no, i know some did better and some worse and no i am not trying to play math games, averages vs median vs mean etc to get the answer i want--all you math whizzes know which one to use to persuade everyone to the view you want to carry peolple to--but hey i am dumbdumb) per game. now MLB  says it takes 20 seconds time for review situations. now that is what MLB says. is it really 10 seconds total time, 20, 30 45 60? you guys going to games in MiLB would know more about this.

so 10 reviews a game at 20 seconds a pop, with my bad math would be 3 minutes and 20 seconds a game, even 20 misses would only be 6 minutes 40 seconds. so is that amount of time (and that is if the batter or pitcher is correct on all the pitches the umpire misses and each team still has their 2 challenges left at the end of the game) so crucial that MLB cannot expand that 2 number, and if so what should it be.

so what say ye--caveat (or is that camelot as i cannot spell or know what words mean) you cannot say 0, and you cannot say all, you can say, 1, or, all minus 1, or anything in between. i only do wiffle ball, so i have not hunt in the game. and when do we expand all this to D1, D2, D3, HS, MS, LL. they got the technology to do it. get those humans out.

and what happens with this AI (ai). do we just let AI into the review room and let them figure out a supposedly unbiased human look at all the replay angles and make a decision. and do we need a preponderance of the evidence or a beyond a reasonable doubt for you legal eagles to make the call, you get the drift, 95-5, 91-9, 80-20, 70-30, 50.1-49.9, to eliminate all humans from the replay room.

come on, what say ye

They'll expand it.

Can we get the system to call accurate strikes? balls tailin in or out, sinkers ...all clipping the front edge of the plate before reaching the magic plane located in the middle of the plate are not getting recorded as strikes by the system.  

Can we get the top of the zone over the belt where it belongs? Can we get the buffer zone back?

 

I know these things don't matter to the average fan. As long as they see a dot superimposed on an electronic box, it's 100% correct in their eyes, and that's all that really matters to MLB and the average fan.

I say, as someone who works a lot of replay games, that people that have no say in the system waste way too much time worrying and talking about the shoulds and what-ifs and not enough just enjoying baseball.

The k-zone box (for entertainment purposes only), has ruined watching baseball for millions of fans, and they don't even know it.

I believe you are overlooking a key point.  Who, in their right mind, is going to challenge a pitch in a blow-out game.
