Ha! Kind of reads like a parody in parts - this quote is gold.

"I think it's embarrassing, embarrassing to the umpires that are calling the game. Nobody likes to be humiliated in front of 30,000, 40,000 people," said Garcia, a major league umpire from 1975 to 1999. "What Major League Baseball is saying is: I don't trust the umpire's strike zone, so I'm going to use something that's going to be operated by some computer geek that knows nothing about baseball, and he's the one that's going to measure this and measure that because he's got a Ph.D. in physics or whatever the hell he's got a degree in."

No, Richie, we actually don't trust the Umpires strike zone. See Exhibit A - Angel Hernandez. I'm siding with the PHD Physics guy on this one. Sorry. LOL

Peralta for the Mets just won a challenge on a ball 4 call, resulting in a strike out of Oneil Cruz. Score one for ABS.

CB Bucknor made his ABS debut and it went as well as expected.

I was hoping the embarrassment would force some bad umps to retire early but Bucknor is such an ass I think he will stay on purely out of spite.
