worst challenge ever?

 
I read this week that Rocco and Shelton have the two lowest career success rates on challenges among the 60 or so that have had at least 10 challenges in their career.

Maybe they need to hire someone to do challenges.

And wasting the challenge IMMEDIATELY comes back to bite Rocco in the ass.

 

Although, a big league umpire shouldn't miss a call that easy.

We need a reaction button other than 'like'.

 

I mean, this is a good post, but I sure as $**#)@(@( don't "like" it.

Something went wrong between Rocco and the video guy. That wasn't remotely close and was very obvious in real time. Sadly, Polanco safely stealing was also clear to all but one person. 

More worrisome ... Buxton.

When i saw it live, i thought a tag was applied.

 

Perhaps they were saying he missed the tag, not realizing his foot was on the bag.

 

Wish they had been able to challange the next tag.

I just turned on the game while cleaning up from dinner and for a while it seemed like there was a rain delay and the broadcast crew was killing time by choosing a random, meaningless play to slow-mo and talk about for no reason.

I give the front office and coaching staff a lot of credit but two things happened today: that challenge and Akil Badoo hitting the first pitch of his pro career for an oppo taco after destroying spring training pitching.

For anyone still defending the pitchers hitting instead of using the DH, today's two at bats present the case clearly. The money in the game today does not allow the pitchers to work on hitting at all, even to be remotely successful. There are a few exceptions, but very few and MLB has totally mismanaged this issue in their futile attempt to gain some negotiation position.

If the pitchers would regularly work on their hitting skills and present themselves as remotely competent, I could accept them hitting. In the current iteration - no.
