Heathcliff by Peter Gallagher for June 26, 2023

“Static” sentries.

Why yes of course they isn’t. For they no wear helmet.

They have a steely resolve.

Tantrums won’t work there.

Heathcliff V: The Umpire Strikes Back!!

Great preview of calling balls & strikes electronically, with arguing mascots tossed instead of managers.

How will it check pitchers for the “sticky stuff”??

I hope ALL fans of MLB will join me in OPPOSING the use of robot umpires!!

They did a pilot of having umps still call the balls and strikes, but for teams to have three “challenges” where they can appeal an ump call to the robo strike zone.

Home run, of course
