I hate it. A typical baseball game has a handful of moments where you can get excited. Many of these moments are right after an umpire's call. Now the call is basically meaningless - you have to sit and wait for the video review. They are flat lining a sport that was already too slow IMO. I was more happy when we had instant calls with some errors than I am with video review and less errors (it's still not perfect). Baseball needs to speed up the game, not slow it down. I like replay in football - it just fits the game better. IMO they need to save replay only for home runs. Nuke the rest of it.

Is there any reason they cant have a sensor in the ball, and one in home plate, that will automatically tell you if it was a strike? I am pretty sure they could design that, and it could be relayed instantly to the ump, and he can make the call as it would be live.

I am leaning on the assumption that this is sarcasm from a frustrated fan, and I concur. The human element is what makes baseball the sport it is. If everything is reviewable and we are reducing that human element anyhow, why not just make it official and remove all humans? Have a laser strike/ball indicator that automatically adjusts the batter's box for each at bat... Laser sensors on all foul lines and lines above and to the sides of the field of play to determine foul balls, home runs, and fan interference... Laser inlays in the grass/turf to determine if a ball is caught or skips into a glove... It's gotten pretty ridiculous and it will not help rejuvenate a diminishing fan base.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
