Their union is extremely powerful and refuses to do anything about bad umps, they tell the league they'll just have to deal with it.

I'm normally pro-union and I like the players' union. But the umpire union just seems corrupt as poo poo

and now automatic balls and strikes seem like an inevitability. They’ve basically run themselves out of the core function of their job in order to protect the senior guys

The umpires are super pissed about the robo-umps; the main reason it's taking so long is because the union was able to stall it. They'll likely find a way to greatly water it down when it's finally here.

I mean I have some sympathy for the ump union, part of their job is to defend every last one of their members to the hilt because the second a union signals to the employer that it is willing to divide its members and throw some of them under the bus, the employer will exploit that as much as possible. At the same time though, so much of the union's most senior members are checked out and dogshit at their job, but stubbornly refuse to retire or put in an effort to improve their game calling. I'm sure it's extremely frustrating to the rank and file that the umpires are now on the cusp of losing their most iconic and impactful contribution to the game largely because there's a few useless assholes at the top.

They should keep the umps calling balls and strikes, and give each team exactly two (2) "fixes" per game where they can correct a wrong call.

gently caress that noise. There are so many egregiously bad calls in literally every drat game that the umpires can't be trusted with that responsibility anymore.

All calls should be done by the system. Challenges would be a waste of time.

God, the Astros need to make a serious effort to trade for Ohtani at the deadline. He would solve so many of our drat problems.

yeah nah, they had their chance to improve. apologies to Pat Hoberg, if we had a whole league full of guys as good as him this probably wouldn't be an issue. (and we could, which is the maddening part)
