Is it time to do away with the behind the plate umpire? With technology today we really don't need an umpire behind the plate calling balls and strikes. We would do away with all questionable calls and see a more consistent game. I am personally on the fence. I kinda like having someone back there making the call. Part of baseball is seeing mistakes made by the umpires. Also, each umpire's "strike zone" is a little different and I like seeing pitchers adjust to the game on hand. Let me know your thoughts.

NOT A CHANCE...thats the beauty of sports...to have the human factor...I dont want sports to completely rely on technology. I dont mind a replay every now and then but to completely take out the human factor would be a massive mistake

I do admit I enjoy watching a manager run out and kick a little dirt on the umpire's shoes...

That is one of the great things to see...then you also get the aspect of the human mistake (ie Armando Gallaraga's perfect game)...thats the best part about sports, especially baseball
