I’d like to see them take balls and strikes away from the umps. It’s not their fault but the human eye just can’t see what cameras and technology can. The umps shouldn’t decide who wins and loses, the players should and watching strike zones that are never consistent and always changing takes away from the enjoyment of baseball. When I watch tennis and see those line calls made correctly by a camera that can clearly show a ball hit the line by 1/8", well, I never enjoyed McEnroe berating an official for 5 minutes, so glad they got that fixed. Also get rid of umps who think people paid to come see them. All in all they do a good job, notwithstanding the limitations of human vision.
