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've talked a lot about reply in tennis vs baseball and most of the reason it works great in tennis is that everyone has agreed to go by the projected trajectory shit and not actual replay. Whereas baseball uses actual replay.
Seems plausible, but I can't shake the thought that it has something to do with the pace and history of tennis and what makes tennis significant and enjoyable. It's a very different sport, obviously.
It’s bad because mlb has a shit system. If it’s improved it would be more affective. The umpires are terrible & it’s kind of ridiculous to think that we should just keep them because we didn’t have a better way. There is a better way if they use technology appropriately.
