You're dreaming if you think this is the case regading lookups. Applied technologies in the baseball world, they are already heavily invested. They, I and we know what you don't. No sense in arguing, NF, you haven't the educational, operational and technological basis from which to do so.

The only reason that MLB does not use any known, tried and true technology is that they choose not to. I question why t is that they choose not to when the obvious result is a better officiated game.

This is self-evident; MLB isn't concerned with best efforts accuracy in officiating. Same with IR. And a dozen other technologies that would absolutely enhance accuracy.

So, back to:

Underutilized Technologies Or Overblown Egos?

If MLB umps were "for the sport" and its best interests, then this entire thread would be without value. They would be the first ones to promote accuracy. But they don't.
