Every Strike/Ball call and every “bang-bang Catcher-Runner tag-slide” interaction becomes an Umpire mediating Strike/Ball and Safe/Out exclusively with their “feels like” intuition and therefore every player becomes beholden to that. Now add in a Home Plate for all participants to index each and every pitch/play. I doubt we’d find a large coalition of folks decrying that measure with “the solution is not to fortress the game against dysfunctional baseball players and Umpires.”</blockquote>
