This season has completely flipped me over to robo umps. I’m soooooo tired of watching these calls night in, night out. I don’t care if it’s full ABS or challenge but this needs to change.
This nicely sums up how I've viewed the Astros this year: they're still very good but no longer great. They're probably a better team than the Twins right now but it's a small gap and the Twins can absolutely beat them if they play anywhere near their capability.
It feels like Toronto is managing out of desperation. I get that you want to cover your ass in an elimination game but having Kikuchi up, then Cabrera is just burning assets prematurely.
He also hasn't given up a run. There's no need to get a guy up when no one is even on base yet.
Gray gets at least that much slack. I don't pull him out of the game unless he has given up runs, went over 100 pitches, or he has gone five innings.
