It's why arguing B/S calls has long been an automatic ejection for managers, the whole idea of claiming you saw it better from 100 ft away than the ump did while set up behind the catcher is a waste of time. The only exception is when Aaron Boone explains/screams to the HP ump that if his players say it's a ball then it's a ball. They're "savages" in that way. So, yeah, it's good that the dugout won't be involved here. We saw them use this all year up here in the Cuse. It's pretty effective and the decisions are made quickly. Any guesstimate as to percentages of batter challenges vs those from Ps + Cs? I feel like 3/4 of the challenges we saw, at least, were made by batters and not pitchers.
