  1. Still WAY better than than human guessing right now. Anybody who has ever umpired at any level knows, unless their ego won’t let them, that they are giving it their best guess.
  2. As much as I hate them still calling, I don’t think they don’t do the best a human can guess. There is just a much better tool to use now ….. for years.
  3. What? I used the 😇 We are all in the same boat and feeling the pain together. I need the tiny violin symphony as much as the next fan.
  4. Looked like intentional runner interference on that double play op. The unsuccessful one.
  5. Why isn’t Buxton as scary as Alvarez. The slider swinging addiction?
  6. From 12 outs needed with a 6 run lead to 9 outs w/ 4 runs projects to 6 outs w/ 2 runs to 3 outs tied to a walk off loss. Better get 3 more runs… at least.
  7. I love it when they make incorrect calls right, Always. Even if it affects my team negatively.
  8. Right? After all, he is the only one on the team currently hitting over .300! (.311 after the at bat)
  9. The Delgado at bat was even more reason. If in use, the incorrect ball 4 call to Delgado would have been a strikeout, inning over, even without a challenge (that inexplicably wasn’t made). No Altuve at bat. No Alvarez. No elevated inning pitch count. 3-1 lead and on to the top of the 5th.
  10. Not me, and I am a fan. I love baseball first and want the most correct call available, regardless whether it goes my favorite team’s way. Perhaps you don’t care as long as incorrect calls benefit your team, but you then you may not love baseball first, but your allegiance to your team. You certainly can’t speak for fans in general, just yourself. As for the ABS that is used for challenges, it would be the same one for every pitch. No reason not to use it. If it can overturn a call, it is the standard. It is done for every pitch, regardless of if it is shown or not. That WAS absolutely the time to use a challenge, since we are still stuck in this wimpy transition period. A point of tremendously significant consequence. Not a 0-0 count
  11. Truly. Of course, Ryan can challenge, too. Caratini used a failed challenge on a Raya pitch later, with a runner on first and no outs, on a 0-0 count! Basically an inconsequential meaningless challenge at that count even if won. The difference of a 0-1 or 1-0 count. No inning ending result with success. ABS should be used all the time for every pitch. If it is to be used to correct calls, then make them all correct. Challenge system is so wimpy.
  12. And the Dodgers are dead last. Go figure.
  13. 3-2, 2outs. Runners on first and second. No challenge. It was strike 3, not ball 4 to Delgado. (bottom right corner of screenshot shown on broadcast). Ump missed what ABS wouldn’t have. Inning should have been over. No Altuve at bat. No Alvarez at bat. No extended inning and so many pitches. 3-1 lead to the top of the 5th. Not using accurate B/S ABS always changes the outcome of every game.
  14. Japan or Korea. Time for him to try to make some money while he can.
  15. True. But forget the double play. The out at first would have saved all that happened after, too.
  16. Now Caratini wastes a challenge on a worthless inconsequential 0-0 count.
