    Who would have guessed??

    Kelsey stated during Game 2 of Cubs series that the Braves are 6th worse in challenged calls being overturned. Their rate is 38.9%. League average is is 52.1%.

    Is the "booth brotherhood" in collusion against the Braves?? Or could it be Bias?? Or poor choice of plays to challenge by Snitckers??

    From my vantage point, the Umps are missing far more of Braves challenges than getting correct.

    What would be interesting would be to sort by those replays with definitive decisions and those where the call stands. That would tell a lot I think.

    I wonder what the rates are for ESPN homers Stankees, Red Sux and Gnats?

    I don't really care about challenge effectiveness, though. We have had at least as many calls overturned as the 10 teams ahead of us on that list despite obviously being less effective on average. But who cares? The main thing you're trying to do is get as many calls to go in your favor as you can. We've challenged the most calls in the league, which I like.
