@TripleDigitSP @lokationnation @AVCoachSmith "According to this view, after observing a long run of red on the roulette wheel, for example, most people erroneously believe that black will result in a more representative sequence than the occurrence of an additional red."

[Official Business @OffBizHybrids]

@TripleDigitSP @lokationnation @AVCoachSmith Because its built into your brain, and my brain. It's called Gambler's Fallacy, "people evaluate the probability of a certain event by assessing how similar it is to events they have experienced before, and how similar the events surrounding those two processes are."

[Official Business @OffBizHybrids]

@TripleDigitSP @lokationnation You'd think it would follow the same pattern as when replay was expanded in 2014, yes? Then ejections will go up, and with a direct correlation to the technology.

[Official Business @OffBizHybrids]

@TripleDigitSP @lokationnation Actually by rule it's a strike if it passes through the zone over the plate, meaning, we're actually viewing it in 3D while y'all are fighting over 2D philosophies to measure things by.

[Official Business @OffBizHybrids]

@TripleDigitSP @lokationnation Hear @CloseCallSports talk to Dylan Yep about how flawed his numbers are, more so than humans.

That answer your question @TurnerSportsEJ & @JeffFrancoeur?

[Luke Brian Tour @lukebriantour]

What do coaches/players say to umpires? In this vid @BrianRHertzog follows up on a question Ernie Johnson & Jeff Francoeur were pondering during the #Dodgers/#Nationals #NLDS Game 5... what were the #umpires talking about w/ Mgr Dave Martinez? #nldsgame5

@KCHSBall @lokationnation @AVCoachSmith I'm 0 for 1 MLB, 1 for 2 NCAA. It ain't easy going up against replay!

[Official Business @OffBizHybrids]

@KCHSBall @lokationnation @AVCoachSmith 185 in 2013 to 199 in 2014 with expanded replay, then to 207 in 2015. The #2 reason for being ejected (#1 has always remained balls/strikes) was arguing a call AFTER it had gone to replay.

[Official Business @OffBizHybrids]

@KCHSBall @lokationnation @AVCoachSmith The same thing will happen with the robo zone as it did with replay... ejections will go up DUE TO arguing the most accurate calls on the field!

[Official Business @OffBizHybrids]

@KCHSBall @AVCoachSmith @lokationnation It sure does increase the entertainment value for us watching everyone complain about a computer that we said wasn't ready for live games!

Manfred has even stated that human umpires are more accurate than the computer at this point in time.

@UmpireAuditor @JimVaughn_ @lokationnation @MLB @UmpireAuditor this is one of the pitches your numbers are counting as a 'miss' in the raw pitch data if an umpire calls it a ball. This is why you don't understand the numbers you're looking at. If you want the rules enforced how they're written though...

[Official Business @OffBizHybrids]

@JimVaughn_ @bat_swing @UmpireAuditor @lokationnation @MLB Well the zone they show on TV is for entertainment value, its not what MLB umpires are graded on. The computer their graded on called this one a strike.

[Official Business @OffBizHybrids]

@JimVaughn_ @bat_swing @UmpireAuditor @lokationnation @MLB This is why I tell people they're not ready for it, not because I'm resistant to it as an umpire.

[Official Business @OffBizHybrids]

@UmpireAuditor @JimVaughn_ @lokationnation @MLB So to clarify... this is what you want? Ejections will happen over the computerized strike zone too.
