Pro tennis uses the Hawkeye Line System on close line calls. So there is already a precedent for Major League Baseball to use technology to challenge ball and strike calls. IMO There is no reason to continue relying on umpires to make critical ball and strike calls when the game or even a chance at the playoffs is on the line. Tonight the Diamondbacks WOULD HAVE had bases loaded with two outs in the 9th, had the third strike call been made correctly. The ball was at least 5 inches outside. But the call was made, and the game was handed to the Twins. I would be making the EXACT SAME CASE for the Twins had the situation been reversed. Can you give me a rational argument to NOT use technology to challenge balls and strikes in baseball?
