All three ninth-inning dudes came up swinging for the fences at balls out of the strike zone, and taking changeups inside the strikezone. I think I'ma need to talk with Chili.



The Mets should have won this game twice over.

That might be over-engineering.



Only allow challenges to be made on the field and immediately, give the umps Bluetooth headsets, and the world is much more in alignment.


Sure. But that play was a virtual and obvious tie at best, so the idea that the game gets stopped, for how ever long it gets stopped, so that the umps can decide a coin flip isn't within a Pete Alonso HR

of what the rule was intended to "correct".

If only this kind of silliness could have been foreseen prior to employing the rule!


If the defense loses a challenge, the next batter is automatically awarded first base. If the offense loses a challenge, the next batter is automatically out.



Higher stakes. If you lose the challenge, you don't end up back where you're started, but rather, you're doubly screwed.
