RP,

I don't disagree with you, he messed up big time. I stated why I think he did, but no matter what the reasons, he has to accept the consequences for his actions, just like we have to accept ours in our levels of umpiring.

But, as I was listening the the ALCS after my last game of the season , to hear the drones babble on about how good replay is was absurd. Camera angles do lie, and no camera system is ever going to be perfect. They have enough trouble in the NFL with it, and you can set cameras up on every line
you want, including the LOS every play.

Trained human eyes are still the best eyes to see things in sports with, until the owner of the trained eyes turns his brain off for whatever reason.
