Duke would find a way to pay off the computers.

93.2% of fans have no problem with bad calls when they go in their favor.
--------------------
Some will go "ehe, what a bad call" and some just refuse to admit it happened.

The latter are my favorite.

I'm a part of the 93.2%.

"Eliminate the human element" was also what SkyNet said.

This is exactly what I thought when I read Ecpot's post.

Is it just me or is Ecpot getting a little more crazy with each passing day?

[DColts]

I worded it wrong. I should've said that we don't need umpires and that computers can do their job. I don't see what's crazy about that.

[Todd]

I actually think a computer scoring ball/strikes would lead to some pretty ugly games, as pitchers would have to keep throwing it right into hitters wheelhouses or the computer wont credit them with a strike, especially in heavy counts.

[MiamiHomer]

How do you make a claim like that when you have idea how the whole thing would work?

Based on fucking what?

Sports radio would cease to exist.

Without bad calls, radio could still spend all its time talking about how Joe Philbin is just skinny Larry Coker and that a star was born against Boston College and that the Dolphins are the worst franchise in the history of all franchises and that Jeff Ireland is literally trying to run the franchise into the ground.

[Todd]

Based on fucking what?

Based on computers being computers and assuming it uses a system based on pitch track.

[MiamiHomer]

You are a moron.

[Todd]

Not even a little bit.

You are calling me a moron for assuming how a thing will work without knowing but you are assuming it will work good without knowing how it will work.

[Mainge]

Nope. We're not assuming anything without knowing actual facts or information. Because we're not Todd

[DColts]

The system would work better than you think. You can have a sensor in the ball and a map of the strike zone behind the plate that will record the spot. You can then have each individual player's strike zone measured and input those parameters for their at bats. It would be pretty accurate then.

[MiamiHomer]

Todd, just assumed we were thinking it would a be a good system. That's what assuming is Todd you fucking fuck fuck.
