In a survey of jobs Americans would most like to see replaced by robots, the umpire would surely rank near the top. (The MLB league official tells me that legalized gambling has not been a factor in implementing ABS.) Frustratingly, the subjective has infiltrated what initially felt like a technological problem: What does the perfect strike zone even look like anyway? The MLB league official agrees, telling me the Jetson Robot Home Plate Ump is not in their plans. "Growing up, my parents would go, 'Oh, the umpire's strike zone was small!'

September 26 - Two teams taking different approaches to the final week of the regular season meet again Tuesday night when the visiting San Diego Padres continue a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants. The Giants (78-79) moved a game ahead of the Padres (77-80) in the National League wild-card chase with a come-from-behind, 2-1 triumph in the series opener Monday night. The best San Diego, which is 5 1/2 back, can do at this point is tie for the final spot. The 33-year-old veteran has helped lead San Diego's late-season surge by pitching well in his past seven starts, going 3-1 with a 2.90 ERA. The 33-year-old has gone 3-2 with a 2.52 ERA in 15 career head-to-heads, including four starts, against the Giants.
