    If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

      How about if the player (batter or pitcher) is wrong he gets ejected from the game.

      If the player is right, the call gets overturned unless the ump is Angel and then the ump gets a lifetime suspension.

              Limit it to 2 or 3 per side, but they lose one if they lose.

                To keep things moving, it would have to be an instant decision by "robo-ump", but then as others have said why not just go full robo?
