I've been thinking about this a lot. I think it's a very subtle issue in a few ways--including metarationally, because instant replay in MLB is one of the things I've been wrongest about ever. I thought it'd be great, and it's bad. [1/N]https://twitter.com/briankoppelman/status/1402109560794537987 …
Part of what's wrong with replay is the structure of the system (and maybe of MLB itself). What is and isn't dependent on the replay booth seems exactly wrong but unlikely to change much. And the whole thing is a bad fan experience (that does prevent some even worse ones). [2/N]
It's great that replay works well in tennis. I suspect that this has something to do with the narrative structure and history of tennis. I worry MLB is losing its grip on what makes it special (or even *intelligible*). I don't know what automating pitch calls would do here. [3/N]
Mostly I think MLB is at a real low point in terms of institutional direction. It feels like they're optimizing for the wrong things and that this would drain more of the meaning from the game. But, again, I've been so bad at predicting the effects of this sort of thing. [4/4]
I'm fully in camp "robo call balls and strikes." While instant replay has some big issues, I still prefer it over getting calls very wrong a lot of the time.
