Does Major League Baseball need to be "Modernized?" [View all]

Saw a report on the news tonight where batters, or pitchers, or catchers can ask for a review of a called strike via replay. I believe it has been the grand old game since Day One and doesn’t need extensive electronic whizbangery. Last year the attempt was to shorten the game. This year more delays? Take me out to the ballgame. You Drive. I drink beer. We watch the batters and umps go nose to nose and growl. What could be more modern? Do we really wanna do away with Bryce Harper going insane over an Umps call?

I’m an obnoxious Philly Fan. Is there any other kind?
