I was responding to Kahuna’s comment that we should just settle for whatever the linesmen call … not advocating for anything in particular.
MLB is hands down the best which is funny because they were The most adverse to using replay and everything about baseball was slow. They’ve pretty much mailed the replay process without taking forever and the ABS they implemented this year seems to be working. Players have noted from the results against specific umpires they have learned whether they will be more aggressive challenging ball’s and strikes or less aggressive depending on the umpire. In the Braves gave the other night the umpire was like 90%+ accurate and neither team challenged a ball/strike call until the 8th inning. On the other hand you have Laz Diaz and CB Bucknor who have now been confirmed incompetent that may be forced into retirement. CB had a game last week where batters and catchers won like 9 or 10 challenges in the first 6 innings. Embarrassing.
Marty is one of those players every successful team has. Hardest worker on the ice night in and night out, does all the little things that wins games, tremendous teammate and will make the play when the play needs making.
