Nah--they should go to the challenge system that is used (I believe) in weekend AAA games. Each team gets 3 challenges per game--challenges are lost if call is upheld-- it only takes a few seconds--and everyone can see it on the park's videoboard.
Only catcher, pitcher or batter can challenge.

They can still argue over other dumb $#!+. It's not entertaining, it's not fun to watch umpires dictate games with 20 missed calls. |

But I'll wait until 2026 if I have to. |

Compared to many other sports, baseball is a little bland. It’s a bit of an acquired taste usually fostered from people who grew up playing the game. People who didn’t grow up playing Baseball find the games a bit dull.
Taking away the manager umpire arguments will make “The Show” less entertaining.

Making the sport better will make it more watchable. Nobody wants to see umpires blow calls six or seven inches off the plate and then eject people because they can't handle their responsibility. This is like watching hockey because of the "fights." It's dumb. Managers will still get ejected, you'll live. |

I'm really tired of the horrible umpiring, especially on balls and strikes. Whatever it takes to get it right, let's do it!!!

Sacramento at Las Vegas tonight: a called strike was challenged by the batter, and the call was confirmed on replay. It took all of 5 seconds.

By the end of the Sacramento/Las Vegas game, both teams were out of challenges. 7 pitches were challenged, and 6 of the 7 ball/strike calls were confirmed as correct. Only 1 miss, that was really close. Great job by that umpire tonight. It works, Manfred.
