Orioles Push for Tech to End Foul Debates | Annapolis News
Description
The Orioles are fuming after a gut-wrenching loss to the Yankees, fueled by outrage over a disputed home run call involving Pete Alonso. They’re demanding tech solutions — like tennis line-calling or football goal-line systems — arguing that with all the data baseball already collects, it’s absurd that a ball near the foul pole can’t be definitively judged. But MLB says it’s not that simple: installing precise, stadium-specific cameras across every ballpark is a colossal logistical nightmare. Even Statcast’s current tracking fails at long distances, and replay couldn’t get a clear view — so the call stood. It didn’t change the game’s outcome, but it’s a moment the Orioles won’t forget.
