Think of it this way: You are bending down, peering over the back of somebody else, and trying to determine whether a 98 MPH pitch just hit the corner of an imaginary box (which only seems real, but it's not really there). Not all that easy, is it?
Let automation call balls and strikes. I don't care what the players say, the challenge system is for the birds. And I don't mean the Orioles, Cardinals, and Blue Jays. (Did I miss any other bird teams?)
