@jcalvinmeyer@editti22 he finally modernized his catching technique
he almost never started with his glove in the dirt in prior years but now he finally is this year
Gunnar Henderson
2023 - unanimous ROY winner, 6.1 WAR
2024 - 9.1 WAR 😳
2025 - played all season with a shoulder injury and still had a 5.3 WAR
The amount of horrific takes on him by @TheAthleticMLB and just in general on this app is insane.
Going to make many eat crow this yr
The infuriating part of this is 65% of baseball fans have felt this way for a long time but it didn't matter to baseball until Mets, Yankees & Red Sox fans felt this way too
The Dodgers CRUSHING the Brewers is the best case scenario for MLB because this series will help to justify the need for a salary cap and floor in 2027.
Baseball is broken!
Prove me wrong!!
Major League Baseball will implement a challenge system for balls and strikes in the 2026 season after the league’s competition committee voted to usher in the era of robot umpiring. Teams will receive two challenges to dispute calls by the home-plate umpire.
BREAKING: Major League Baseball will use the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System (ABS) during the entire 2026 season
ABS CHALLENGE RULES:
- Each team will get two challenges and can keep them if they're successful
- Challenges can only be initiated by a pitcher, catcher, or batter, and the request must come right after the pitch
- To signal a challenge, the pitcher, catcher, or batter will tap his hat or helmet to let the umpire know
- No help from the dugout or other players on the field is allowed
- In each extra inning, a team will be awarded a challenge if it has none remaining entering the inning
The ABS Challenge System powered by T-Mobile 5G network uses cameras set up around the perimeter of the field to track the location of each pitch and a graphic on the scoreboard shows the result of the challenge
