QuesTec.

[Rick Vietti]

I hope MLB gets the message and drops the QuesTec system as an evaluation system.

I work in a manufacturing plant where we gather all kinds of data on production etc... We chart this data and look for variations and the causes of the variation. We then look at ways to correct the variations.

Of course this is based on good, clean, unskewed data. It sounds to me that the QuesTec system and the process of setting up the system has more variation than the umpires strike zone.

Use the computer system as a Tool but until they can show all parties concerned, umpires, players, management etc... that the evaluation from this system is accurate and without its own variation, then let the umpires do the job they were hired to do without the threat of discipline.
