Not that one in particular, just challenges in general. Also remember, there’s someone telling him that it’s a good call to challenge.

Do we know who that was on the 3rd inning one, and if we pay them real money?

[TFRazor]

And walk.

Edit: Luis, all he does is OBP

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

You can request a review the 7th or later, i believe.

I get that, but that's weird. You have no challenges, you can ... request a challenge. I'd need to be a lawyer to iron that out.

I don’t have enough to put on Rocco to make it worth it

Luis Arraez. 2021 AL Batting Champ.

Undrafted gem who never was on a Baseball America Top 100 list, just like Rod Carew.

I did not know that about Carew. Cool.

Luis Arraez. 2021 AL MVP.

[MMMordabito]

Arraez really got after that one.

What a throw! Did I read in scouting reports that he has a weak arm?

To be fair, I’m not a fan of a limited number of challenges per game anyway. Why should a team be punished if you have terrible officiating that screws up multiple calls per game AND then screws up the review? I’m of the opinion that if a call is obviously messed up it should be reversed. Kinda like how the NHL does goals. Andres Gallaraga would have a perfect game in that case

(He was signed before there was a draft. And Baseball America did not yet exist.)

Luis Arraez. 2021 AL Batting Champ.

 

 

Puts the bat on the ball, flashes underrated defensive prowess, and has a last name that's like a giant Lego set for bad puns.

Having watched Big Ten basketball this year, I disagree. Seemed like every three minutes they had to stop to look at something.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So... do we have enough insurance runs yet?

[ashbury]

... should the opportunity arraez.

 

[MVP Nick Punto]

Enough? Yes. But, too much does not exist in this context.

[Sielk]

So... do we have enough insurance runs yet?

I vote for more. More is always good. And fun.

[MMMordabito]

Yeah, he Arraez'd on Easter Sunday.

[ashbury]

Let you know, in six more outs.

 

[MVP Nick Punto]

Yeah, he Arraez'd on Easter Sunday.

Theeeeere we go. I'd advocate for you to get the winner on this one, but I think chief already gave it out.

[LaBombo]

You guys are just doing this to get Arraez out of me...

I’ll accept some slowdowns if they get it right. Admittedly, basketball not my favorite sport so I’ll take your word for it

[USAFChief]

pfft. neither were Ted Williams,Babe Ruth, or Harmon Killebrew.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Arraez and Alcala have the potential to be the greatest pun-combo of all time. If the Twins can Arraez to the occasion Alcala reliever to finish off the game, etc., etc.

[ashbury]

[MVP Nick Punto]

Winner, winner, Easter ham dinner

[USAFChief]

I am slowly turning into a huge fan of the Andrelton Simmons signing.

 

 

[TFRazor]

Winna

[USAFChief]

Winnah!

You are expecting Garlick to have no potency in this department?
