The Drop: Automated Ball/Strike Calling

Tim & Paul discuss MLB's roll out of the ABS challenge system and how baseball (and baseball fans) can learn a little from Wiffleball's 30+ year history of automating ball & strike calls. As part of this discussion, we talk about the early attempts at umpires calling balls & strikes, the move to automation, the "hole" strikezone robbing pitchers of the edges, how the target strikezone became the standard, and much more!
