Is the algorithm telling me to start a farm?

That's broken ad targeting, throwing data at a wall, placing budget in the wrong place, and giving the wrong audience an existential crisis in the process.

The new Major League Baseball season begins tonight with the New York Yankees facing the San Francisco Giants, and with it brings another innovation to America's pastime, perhaps the biggest ever, robot umps.

Starting this season, players will be able to challenge ball and strike calls using an automated system of cameras placed around each ballpark.

When a batter, hitter, or catcher disagrees with a human umpire's call, they'll tap their head to challenge it before a graphic is played on the Jumbotron showing whether the ump got the call right or not.

No one's going into this cold turkey.

The ABS system, as it's called, has been tested in minor league games and throughout MLB spring training.

Fans love it, and players are cautiously optimistic it'll result in fairer play.

Under Commissioner Rob Manfred, the only thing constant about baseball is change.

In an attempt to balance the sport's hallowed traditions while still keeping up with the times, MLB has introduced a number of innovations in recent years to boost its popularity with modern fans, including a pitch clock to shorten marathon games.

All signs point to these acts of self-disruption being a huge success.

The game is more popular than it has been in decades, thanks to marketable superstars, a growing international audience, and tweaks like the pitch clock that have dramatically improved the product.

There's lots of optimism that this robot ump challenge system will only juice baseball's momentum.

It's going to impact strategy in a big way, and we don't know yet because the first game hasn't been played yet, but it'll be very interesting to watch who...

teams and managers let make challenges because, as I said, it can be the catcher, it can be the batter, or the pitcher.

Well, in spring training and last year, we have data on who's actually good at challenging calls.
