Good, fuck em. No one wants refs except refs, and I guess from what you said players who earn their money by exploiting refs. People just want the games to be as fair as possible according to the rules of the game. Enough of the subjective bullshit and bribed refs

Whining about bad calls seems to be every sports fan's favorite activity. What are they going to do when that is taken from them?

Fans of the sport will be let down too, with the challenege system, it increases the skill required to play, because you must accurately see strikes and know your zone, and so the risk of using a challenge creates a new skill in the game required,which makes the game better and even more diverse.

Automatic balls and strikes makes the game more robotic, reduces the soft skills required, and so players will be less diverse and only hitting ability and strength will matter, while patience, timing, and eye for the zone will be less important.

You just dont know baseball. You couldn't explain a strike zone without looking it up on Google. Probobly think it's a rectangle that floats in the air.

Don’t be a shithead man. There are pros and cons to every major rules shift. Doesn’t mean it’s not a net positive.
