This ABS experiment isn’t going too well after a few days. It slows the game down, kills the flow, and turns every at-bat into a debate. Either implement it full-time or remove it completely. The room is open…..

@schadjoe @JeffPassan Either keep it full time or ditch it completely. Let’s not complicate things more than they are already.

@jcmccaffrey @tylermilliken_ Defense seems to be an issue with the Outfield. Yoshida and Duran have been criticized for their play. Why would they put them out there together. The Red Sox pride themselves on following defensive metrics and this goes against that.

Cora said when Yoshida plays left like today, Duran will start in center and Roman DH. That way later in the game, he’ll have Rafaela enter for defense in center, move Duran move to left and and they keep Anthony in the game at DH. That’s how he envisions it working this year

@Savageboston What we don’t want is ABS to be front and center to any umpire accountability. That should have happened years ago but circumstances kept it from happening. ABS is like the icing on the cake to help facilitate the ramifications of poor performance.

@BostonConnr Perhaps MLB makes a decision and either keeps ABS full time or remove it completely. That should eliminate the clown show theatrics on and off the field.

Game 3 of the Red Sox today Huge bounce back after the first umpire debacle of the year yesterday Starting to think we need more ABS Challenges, possibly one available per team per inning Roman Anthony home run today feels inevitable

These comments from Alex Cora about balancing the playing time in the Red Sox outfield did stick out a bit yesterday: “It’s not easy… Whoever thinks that this is easy to move them around, they’re wrong. I’m going to say it like that. It’s not that easy, but I’ll make it work.”

@Super70sSports Great memories picking up the Sports section of the Sunday paper. After reading this it was watching an episode of This Week in Baseball and then outside playing whiffle ball. Those were the days!

Game 7 of the World Series. Bottom of the 9th, bases are loaded, 2 outs, and your team is up by 1 Albert Pujols is at the plate . You have your choice of any pitcher, of any era in his prime. Who gets the call?

@michaelFhurley That’s just another reason to either fully implement it or remove it completely. This is becoming a clown show.

@Savageboston They need to make a decision, it’s either in or out. These challenges just destroy the flow of the game.

The system clearly works, and it makes you wonder why the MLB doesn’t simply use it all of the time. Every pitch. Every game. Yesterday was an embarrassment for the umpire.

There are moments that offer a pretty good sense that something new is going to work. This feels like one for ABS. The Cincinnati crowd’s reaction was thunderous. And the situation itself — twice it salvaged a bases-loaded opportunity. This system plays.

@BostonFanRoom @jmsteiner8 @JeffPassan The flow of the game is perfectly fine because the review animation is now part of the spectacle. You saw the way the crowd reacted — there was more excitement and energy than after a homer. People are going to love it.

@YankeeLineups @jmsteiner8 @JeffPassan I agree with that but the flow of the game will take the biggest hit. They should either implement it fulltime time or remove it completely. Whatever they choose doesn’t matter to me but the indecisiveness is painful.

@BostonFanRoom @jmsteiner8 @JeffPassan A challenge takes at most 15 seconds. And let’s assume there‘s a max of 20 challenges in a game. That means an absolute worst case of adding 5 minutes to the game. In reality, it’ll likely add more like 1-2 minutes total. This isn’t a problem.

Jason Alexander was 29 years old when #Seinfeld premiered in July 1989, making him only 38 or 39 when the series concluded in May 1998. Despite his character's older appearance, Alexander remained under 40 for the entire nine-season run of the show.

@jmsteiner8 @JeffPassan They have to pick a side or this is going to happen every game. They want to speed up the game but this is going to extend the game longer. This is going to be a long season if this keeps up.

@JeffPassan Question becomes why not have it call all balls and strikes through an ear piece or something on the umpire? Remove the challenge entirely and always get it right…

Strikeouts were a major issue last season for the Red Sox. When they struck out 9 times or fewer, they were 67-31. When they struck out 10+ times, 22-42. Boston struck out just 7 times in their Opening Day win. In yesterday’s loss the Red Sox struck out 15 times including 3 in the 2 extra innings where they did not move the Manfred man from second. It’s a stat I’ll be following all season.
