Now you get to watch umpires ejecting players/coaches. I bet we see an uptick in ejections next year because the umpires still need to feel like they have power
Baseball is played by humans it should be umpired by humans also.
Too bad they didn't implement this when Angel Hernandez was all over the place with the strike zone. Would of loved to see him embarrassed by having some of his horrible strike calls overturned over and over again.
Oh I can't wait for the "Sprit of the Game" old timers to throw a fit.
Need to get rid of the "unwritten rules" too.

They are only using it for challenges. Just fast forward 5 years and use it for every call. It's stupid not to.
don't worry, teams only get 2 challenges each...based on bad call averages that's still another 15 or so terrible calls by the umpires a game that you'll get to see.
