Now ask them after they get a call against them.

“No, I’d much rather lose a game on someone else’s mistake than win one.”

Seriously, it’s the way it’s asked.
if you ask, “do you favor the ABS system,” you’ll get a different answer.

The thing about ABS is, if players aren’t liking the strike zone being called, the software can be tweaked and it can be consistently fairly addressed 100 percent. You can’t adjust CB Bucknor or Laz Diaz’s software to be better no matter what you do.
