64. No, wrong... That doesn't mean we have to continue doing it that way
Edited on Thu Jun-03-10 02:05 PM by garybeck
the argument that "it's part of the game" is completely false.

there is nothing in the rule book that states it is part of the game. IT IS NOT PART OF THE GAME.

It has been part of the game until now, because humans have been the only way to make calls. Now we have something better. There is nothing in the rules, nothing in "the game" that says we have to keep doing something that is bad for the game.

If it was "part of the game" it would say so in the rule book. It would say that umpires should make bad calls. It would say that umpires are not allowed to use computers or cameras to improve their accuracy. It doesn't say anythign like that. It's NOT part of the game.

GEESH.
