Reply to "Cameras vs Umpires -Consistency & Accuracy"

How many of you guys actually watched the video in the OP?

I can't imagine why anyone would oppose this technology?

Will it have a few side effects? probably

In my opinion, it will favor the pitcher which in turn will reduce runs. There will need to be an adjustment to the zone to counter the pitcher advantage. As others have pointed out the zone is 3D. If a pitcher can rely on the technology to call any pitch that touches the zone they will develop pitches that will be nearly impossible to put in play. Such as nicking the front edge of the zone and bounces off the back of the plate. Or a BIG loopy curve that catches the top rear point.
