    I know I’m increasingly in the minority here, but I disagree on robo-umps. The Ump Show gets a lot of play on SportsCenter and social media (some of that is deserved), but the fact is that calling balls and strikes has steadily improved over the past 15 years. In 2022 they were right 92.8% of the time. Last year it was 92.4%. This year, so far, it’s 92.4%, and will likely get better if it follows the trend. I like the human element of calling a game. I don’t think that’s a necessary change.

    My biggest issue with the umpires is that the bad ones aren’t held accountable. If they would weed out the Angel Hernandez’s of the world, there wouldn’t be as big an outcry for robo umps.
