Team challenge, no. But the smart managers are the ones who will tell hitters they aren’t allowed to challenge unless otherwise told. Hitters challenging is a waste of a challenge at least 75% of the time
Gary Cohen believes managers will have to get a handle on the ABS challenge process because hitters continue to lose challenges in low-leverage situations.
"It's just bad for the club."
I don’t think I’m asking for too much by saying ESPN could’ve set up their cameras in a lot better spots for this game. I’m looking at the back of someone’s head half the time

Alec Bohm has absolutely no idea what the strike zone is. If you’re going to refuse to take him out of the lineup at the very least take away his challenging privileges
Marsh is on fire, you manage to get him to the plate as the game leading run, and you pinch hit him for Alec Bohm. You can’t make this stuff up. Bohm is now 2/16 this year against lefties. But hey, you gotta get that lefty/righty matchup.
