Hauricourt argues that it is long over-do for the MLB to put an umpire up in the booth to reverse any call that was made incorrectly on the field. This could be the first stages of full replacement of human umpires that remain on field level. The amount of video-coverage and video angles that is readily available at any given moment has moved the umpire blame game from he said, she said to concrete proof of a blown call.
The main reason to keep human umpires involved with the game is to keep the human element involved in the game. This lack of willingness to change on MLB's part, comes at an inopportune time. The MLB needs to go with how society goes and what society wants is 100 percent accuracy.
