So when did the rule change that allows electronic devices in the dugout, all I see now is players on I pads I guess checking out how the pitcher struck him out or got him to pop up. IMHO it stinks.

Just curious when the rule changed, for decades it wasn’t allowed. Why you ask, I’m a traditionalist when it comes to baseball and believe that the human element is part of the game. I’m also against the electronic strike zone which is probably next on the agenda.
Why are you for it?
I have no problem with replays being reviewed and calls overturned by league officials but don’t care for electronic devices in the dugout.Last edited by LITTLE NELL; 08-04-2022, 06:49 PM.Now coming up to bat for the White Sox is the Mighty Mite, Nelson Fox.

I hate the ipads and video stuff in dugouts and tunnels. It's like kids scrambling to copy papers before class because they didn't do their homework. The advantage these guys have leading up to games with all the video and analytics is enough.

**** the human element, and **** the umpires determining the outcome of games. Give me objective reality every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Reward the pitchers who can throw the ball into that pentagonal prism called the strike zone, and reward the batters who can see that the ball is going to miss the zone. Give me the robot strike zone.

"I have the ultimate respect for White Sox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Red Sox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country." Jim Caple, ESPN (January 12, 2011)

Some folks will argue that pitchers like Tom Glavine would never had made the hall if it wasn't for the umpires widening the zone for his style. To that, I say, "So what?".
So you think it's okay for a few pitchers to get a more generous strike zone than others? Glavine and Maddux got strikes called regularly on pitches six inches outside. Just because the catcher sets up out there, that doesn't make it a strike.
The strike zone is the strike zone, and should be called the same for everyone.Nellie had more doubles than strikeouts every year from 1950 to 1963, and more triples (12) than strikeouts (11) in 1951 (682 plate appearances.)

I hope if they go to an automated zone, it's based on the actual strike zone, not the umpire strike zone.Nellie had more doubles than strikeouts every year from 1950 to 1963, and more triples (12) than strikeouts (11) in 1951 (682 plate appearances.)
