I’m a purist but I think where we are at technologically it’s time for computers to call balls and strikes. It’s just too simple and totally fair. Ump can still be back there for calling all other things. Check swings can be determined by overhead camera in a matter of seconds now days

YES, THIS!! Bring on the computers, so tired of the arbitrary calls. The ump could have a device on him that the computer tells whether it was a strike or a ball and he could still pretend to be making the call. The only difference would be that it would be consistent. And if he said Strike when the computer told him Ball, he would get a zap of electricity sent through him. (OK, the last part probably isn't necessary but I think it would make a good ump training exercise)

They’re experimenting with it in the minors I guess. So won’t be long I don’t think.

They also used to own the Pepsi distributer in Fargo back 30 years ago when I worked there. Might still own it, not really sure.

It's going to be years before they are good again. Need to change ownership and teardown to rebuild.

We don't want big enough cities to support such things.

I would guess 90% of the ND plates that congregate in MN are from 30 miles west of the Red River or less. MN is a scenic state north of 10 but their politics, taxes and laws suck.

And I thought all the smoke in the air yesterday was from Canada. Turns out it was coming from Minneapolis.
