I have the new [u:1u0u0y02]Bill James Handbook[/u:1u0u0y02] and there are stats about replay. I thought that if Terry was good at one thing, it was knowing when to challenge but he was under .500 at that: he challenged 30 calls and 13 were overturned (43.3%). (By comparison, the high for challenges was 48 by the Rays and Blue Jays while the low was 26 by the Athletics.) Overall, 52.6% of the challenges were successful.

Against the Mets, 20 calls were challenged and 12 were overturned so the Mets were +1 on challenges. The Nationals were first at +11 but then again, they had a great record so perhaps the replays were irrelevant. The Rangers were last at -9 and they had a poor record.

Collins started off hot but tailed off. I did think he'd be over .500 though.
