2 weeks agoOK, Yes, Sometimes ABS is Going to Make Umpires Look Really Bad - Bleacher Nation
The idea that the Automated Balls and Strikes challenge system is going to constantly humiliate umpires is, to me, a ridiculous concern. We're talking about hundreds of calls in a game, with upwards of 100 games per week, and 99.9% of the time, ABS doesn't even factor into a pitch at all.

We obviously had to make an agreement with them to use it, and we made the agreement. I will say this: I think that they were more receptive to using it on every pitch, because nobody knows what he would have called. The problem with the challenge system is it points out when you're wrong. And I think nobody likes to be shown, in front of 48,000 people, they just missed the pitch.
