It doesn't take away from the game in my opinion, just taking about the only element of human error still present in umpiring out of the game

Have you seen the K-zones? They are no better than the ****ing umps. It's probably time, but the technology is far from ready.

I kind of like the small piece of variability in how strikes are called. It'd feel cold and stale to have it be exactly the same strike zone 100% of the time. It's kind of like varying stadium sizes - you have to alter your approach a smidge depending on how things are being called.

I don't care who or what is calling strikes, just make the zone consistent already.

The problem isn't that there's human error every once in awhile, but the umps are not calling consistent strikes and impacting the game. How much does an ump make a game? How much could a corrupt ump make working under the table with Vegas? The umps have the ability to effect the outcome of the game, and we should be to a place where the athletes should decide the outcome through fair judgements.
And I would argue that we should preserve the purity of the game as much as we can. Replay makes baseball better. This could too, possibly.

No, only because it would not be in the Royals advantage. As it is right now, umps have a larger strike zone than is truly accurate, and this actually helps the Royals because they are not a patient team.
