That should be the end goal for sure, but the challenge system so far I think has been great. Like you said, 99.9% accurate is great.

Right now aren't umps accurate on average about 93% of the time (if i read the ump scorecard page right)? Seems good but over the course of a game that is about 20 pitches that are wrong, or 1 pitch per inning (which goes to show how often teams could technically use their challenge).

The speed of the calls has been the most impressive to me so far. It takes almost no time at all for the challenge.

Shohei did Shohei things in his first AB of the spring.

Jordan Walker left the game yesterday with knee pain.

Good thing we went out this offseason and signed veteran players to back up the young talent just in case of injury or poor production.

Oh wait...

Usually try to get to a Mets spring training game here since the Pirates never come to the other coast. Traffic is too insane for me this year

Mets and Yankees are dropping like flies. Francisco Alvarez out 6-8 weeks and Gerrit Cole needs Tommy John

Good for the rest of the AL East that Cole is out but I don't like to hear about anyone needing Tommy John surgery. That is such a long recovery process.

Mets' ace Clay Holmes to start opening day
