 I kind of like the human element of baseball. The way a catcher can frame a ball and make it look like a strike is an art. Maybe I’m in the minority.

 I get that but I am not a fan of umpires getting calls wrong and deciding the result of games. It doesn’t happen often but take the ALDS game 1. The umpire made a terrible call that should have been strike 3 instead the guy got a walk and the Yankees scored 2 runs that inning. Would they have scored anyways, maybe, but less likely. Yankees won that game by 1 run and the series. They probably would have won the series anyways but I would rather find out what would have happened with the correct calls.
