Wallner needs to be banned from ABS challenges.

[ashbury]

No way: Wallner challenges and loses AGAIN?

[Patzky]

Someone has to bat 2 and 3..

He thinks he has Edouard Julien Eyes

I think he has more like bette davis eyes

[Blyleven2011]

Wallner is a complete head case  , challenge number 2 and wrong both times ...

[Patzky]

Not a bad pitch but he's Bobby Witt.

But he's Joe Ryan.

Maybe Shelton needs to assume that job

If this is the case, he should know that they are the eyes of a man who looks at strike three more often than not.

I don't mind Wallner being wrong.  I care more that Wallner is not making good choices on when to challenge.  Top of the 1st inning with 2 outs?  Let it go unless you are 100% you are going to win it.  

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

lol

Wallner takes a cutter at the belt for strike three, immediately challenges, and then immediately takes off his gloves like it's the end of the inning to go out into the field. 

Great job buddy!

[Patzky]

Geez did Wallner break the umpire?

Maybe the helmet tap is his signature move, someone should tell him.

And it’s quite clear right now he has no vision of his strike zone. So Shelton needs to step in and say you’re done challenging calls for now.

Those are Ryan Jeffers contacts in Edouard Julien eyes. 👀 

[Hubie29]

Why even have umpires? Just let the ABS system call the game.

im okay with the Catcher - but unless its Blatant  Shelton need to tell the hitters no-no till later in the game  -  and Wallner -NEVER

[Danchat]

Evidently we're gonna need our challenges today with the way this ump is calling it... missing calls right on the edges is acceptable and expected, but that's already 2 obvious misses in one inning. Yikes!

[Patzky]

The Edward Tait era can't arrive soon enough.

He should be encouraged to take deep breaths for 3-5 seconds before deciding whether to challenge. If he follows that advice, it kills multiple birds with one stone. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Jeffers is just brutal.

He must have been the only player in MLB that didn't magically get shorter when they measured everyone for the ABS.
