If MLB is going to have the ABS Challenge system, this simply cannot occur. This is actually a disgrace and someone needs to be held accountable.

100% agreed. If no video exists at the moment or a glitch happens, the pitch should remain as called by the umpire (whether an awful call or not) due to not having evidence to overturn it. But the team shouldn’t lose a challenge as a result of it.

I can't be the only one who sees something like this and questions what the prop bet lines looked like for that at bat.

technology fails. that’s a reality of life. as i understand it, if ABS is unavailable for whatever reason during a challenge, the call on the field is upheld, but the challenging team is supposed to retain their challenge

a mistake? yes. a disgrace? i think you ought to stop clutching your pearls.

Would you guys be quite don’t you know under manfred baseball the Yankees and Dodgers have different rules.

If the technology isn’t working, it should be “call stands” and no loss of challenge.

Brewer game a few weeks ago. ABS called it a strike, UMP said it was a glitch and said it was a ball. Wtf.

Yankees involved -- the missus is always right

the amount of time it takes to review these challenges is way too long for a broadcast.

This big screen malfunction has happened a number of times at various ballparks around the league this year and every time its happened, the umps gets the word from the replay offices who correctly review the plays. So why not this time? Cuz it wouldn’t benefit the Yankees?

I stopped watching baseball in 1978. Still doing my part. P.S. Maybe having a box drawn by a computer is a faulty premise.

The entire replay office in New York needs to be fired. Manfred is a joke.

Imagine arguing about balls and strikes. It’s almost like real baseball.

In a three dimensional world this is a strike. ABS lives in two dimensions not three

That didn't look like a strike. But if the ABS cannot provide the video of where the ball was, then the pitch should be disallowed. If you can't prove either way if it was a ball or strike, then how can the pitch be counted at all?

ABS doesn't work in Sacramento? 🤦♂️

The technology is right there. Fire it up or throw it out. No more middle ground.

3D plate with the front of the plate as well and this is almost certainly a strike.

People overthinking this. System failed to pick up the pitch, umpire didn’t know what to do and just stuck with his original call. He should have communicated that fact better. Sticking with the original call is the right decision, but he should have given As their challenge back

That's not a real Major League park, so it makes sense the equipment is just as small time

Technology didn’t capture the pitch so the umpires just went with their own terrible call to try and save face

Bullshit post. And you fucking know it. Exactly no one will be held accountable. NO ONE. The whole fucking reason we have this garbage technology in the first fucking place is because NO ONE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

That ump is just completing his “big crowd” / high pressure / never admit to being wrong / game changing last seconds / goal line training for his NFL career. 😂 😂

They’re ruining baseball!

Every challenge has been shown on the big screen or while the ump has been waiting for an answer from the booth. Thats what I have seen. And now since its the Yankees, no video for all to see and of course a call in their favor. Interesting

I mean….its the Yankees. What are we confused about here? 🤷♂️

When you play MLB games in Minor League Stadiums, the standards are low. If we’re blaming anyone, we’re blaming the @Athletics for playing in a crappy stadium.

They won't do anything the umpire union is stronger than the players

yo look at the video they posted 😭

In the review center “oh they are playing the Yankees? Strike.”

I truly don't know why they don't use ABS for 100 % of every ball & strike call. Why go through these very limited challenges? ABS would make it fair for both the pitchers and the hitters. Take away the guesswork.

Happened last week to the Brewers against the Cubs and now the Yanks benefit too. Never fail to give that extra boost to the teams that don’t need it 😭😭

??? The box on the TV showed a strike. They reviewed and kept it a strike. I'm missing your point apparently.

ABS Challenges Runner on 2nd in extras Pick off limit Blocking the base/plate They ruined this game because a generation of kids can’t focus for 3 hours. If you can go to work, catch a 12pm game, then back to work for your 3pm meeting…that’s not fun experience. So sad.

if they're going to have this, it should just be every pitch in the ump's earpiece... this "challenge" drama is crap.
