And I would not put in an automatic ball and strike robot. Having umpires is part of the charm of the game.

The rule about 2 infielders on each side of second base is like telling a football team they can't blitz the QB because they would have more rushers than the defense has blockers. I remember a long time ago a reporter asked Ted Willaims why he didn't hit the ball to left field when they put the shift on. His reply was that they paid him to hit home runs, not singles. Rulemakers should have left that one alone.
