The Boston Red Sox went on to score four runs following a controversial call on what appeared to be a strike two thrown by Aaron Nola in the top of the fourth inning of last night's game.

Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie argued about if robot umpires would be good for Major League Baseball on Friday morning, in lieu of the aforementioned potentially game-changing call.

DeCamara: "No, I am not ready to say I am wrong [about not wanting robot umpires]."

Ritchie: "Why? You watched the same game I did. It really did change the tenure of everything. We lost that game in large part because he got the call wrong. Alex McKay got the call wrong and Aaron Nola melted down because of it."

DeCamara has argued that he enjoys the human element of the game, the arguing between the coaches/players and umpires and the emotional dynamic that it creates.

He is in the minority.
