I get tired of watching umps calling balls as strikes. MLB needs to make more calls reviewable. The idea that an umpire standing 90 feet away from home is better equipped to make a call on a bam-bam checked swing than an ump viewing the slo-mo footage captured by the battery of cameras filming what is actually happening is ludicrous.
