Ray, your suggestion re: balls and strikes is practical and reasonable. If these guys could be kept honest, that would be a good step forward.

The instant replay request is modest. A manager should be able to get one a game. As to balls and strikes, I would at least want the technology to be used to rate the umpires and dump the ones who don't know the strike zone. I think a 95% accuracy rate in an MLB umpire is not too much to ask. That's getting 190 pitches right in a 200 pitch game.

And by the way, there is a big different between the "Amica pitch-zone" that Remy likes to criticize and the QuesTec system which uses 4 cameras and adjusts for the size of each batter. -- Author of "FPGA Simulation: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide" www.fpgasimulation.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
