Don't know an umpire who would complain about that
They already have cars that drive themsleves and you to your destination. They have a laser system that will tell NFL umpires if its truly a first down without bringing the chains out. I'm sure that one's in development, if not ready to market with all of this advanced technology coming out so quickly.

Sorry, I havent been on the last couple of days. I've been feeling under the weather because of allergies. I have just gotten to feeling somewhat better today. But I wanted to thank you guys for responding to my post. I had a double header today and had that same ump doing our game today. I apologized to him for questioning him the way I did when I just wanted to be able to help the pitcher. Thankfully were now on good terms and was even the plate ump for our second game.

Smart girl! Good job! I think you have a bright future as a catcher.
Had a great interaction with an umpire during a game.... We are on defense, a close play at 2B, runner called safe (she was but it was really close), so I call time and go out to talk to the umpire.....
Umpire: "Coach, she beat the throw"
ME: "I know, but I have to make it look good for my girls"
Umpire: "I can toss you if you like"
ME: No, I don't think we need to that far. Can I just kick some dirt on your shoes?"
The umpire had to turn around and start walking toward the outfield, I could tell he was laughing...
Hey, we got the next close call... so all was good lol

MLB's system isn't completely automated - someone adjusts the top and bottom of the zone for each batter. That was a major concern of umps when the first ones were implemented.
I guess if you wanted to automate the game you could RF ID the ball, transmitters in each glove, and pressure transducers on the bases. With a few cognext cameras it would take a lot away from the umps. Only problem is lag time on the data. I would hate to see that happen it would take away from the game I think.
