Can challenge anything except balls and strikes.
Three per game is a bit much but glad there will be some kind of reviews.

This is so dumb.
Personally I'd like 1 challenge. And if you a right then you get your challenge back. If you are wrong, then you are done with challenges.
good.
Baseball purists will hate this, but I don't see how it's not the right move for the game. Too many times there are inexcusable bad calls made. It shouldn't have to come down to human error.
3 challenges might be a bit excessive though
About time. I would've done 2, but I'll never complain about meassures making sure the game is called correctly.

I think 3 is too much but glad there will be replays, so many awful calls across baseball.
Would of done 1-2 at most but more the better.
I would give two challenges but home runs are looked at automatically as they are now.
Just imagine 6 challenges being used a game. And why wouldn't you? You can't take them with you to the next game so use them all and hope to get lucky.
All you need is Hart and Cox.
no more managers on the filed to argue?
3 is too many. And I am going to miss arguements from managers.
Just because they have 3 challenges doesn't mean they will use them every game.

This is a step in the right direction. I would rather see them get one that only goes away if they lose the challenge. +1 in extra innings and playoffs.
You know how many coaches in the nfl waste challenges just because they can?
Even knowing a bad challenge results in a lossed timeout. Nothing to loose by challenging so why not? Me thinks umpires will review and still botch calls.

It will happen (already has), but not as often. That's a good thing.
If only Tony LaRussa were still managing... he'd use all 3 late in the game just to throw the opposing pitcher off.

And if a manger isn't using his challenges then fans will ***** about it. We are going to see 6 challenges a game no doubt.
All you need is Hart and Cox.
So what are they going to do to get rid of these horrible strike zones? Ball/strike calls have just as big of an impact as many other plays.
I really like it. The perfect cost effective move. The league should be able to figure out all the minor complaints about it. It's not like the commisioner's office isn't going to tell managers to not take advantage of the 3 challenges.
thank you weso1!
BTW can't wait for Fredi's first WTF challenge.
