"Humans should be judged by humans."

My favorite quote of the spring - from Max Scherzer, on robot umps.

Here's Max on the robots. It's tremendous.

Is there anything Max Scherzer won't complain about?

Seems like a veteran pitcher is mad he's not going to get the benefit of the doubt, whether right or wrong.

“All communication should be word-of-mouth”. No gol-dang machines.

you know, i think the funniest thing here is that on that low curve, he was judged by a human, and then tried to overrule that human, and the human was right!

Excellent point!

Bad umpiring has led to this. Moving strike zones and giving Maddox calls half a foot off the plate come to mind.

Robot umps are a good thing, but its wild to think that catcher framing will be an obsolete skill.

Ergo, robot umps are not a good thing, actually.

Really thought you were in your bag with that one huh

Strikes should be strikes, and balls should be balls. A "deceived" umpire is just a bad umpire.

Max’s take is moronic. Every time a human umpire makes a mistake, y’all want to destroy him and his family.

It’s easy to call Hunter Wendelstedt an asshole, try pulling that on Umpire T-1000
