All-Star Game will debut the ABS challenge system

[Brock Beauchamp]

The ABS challenge system will get in front of the most fans in the game that matters the least. It's a pretty good combo to demonstrate this technology. What do you think of the challenge system?

I'm not a fan of the ABS challenge system or any replay system in baseball.  IMO, it takes away from the excitement and the momentum of the game.  How many times have we seen a great play, offensively or defensively, to end an inning or to end the game, and the players can't celebrate because they have to wait for the replay call.

Also, I think the umps do a pretty good job overall.  And who doesn't miss those great manager ejections after arguing with the umps?

I know the ABS challenge system is coming.  I'm bracing myself...

I wouldn't be surprised if this is being driven by the increased amount of gambling on baseball. If MLB was run intelligently, they would have only the best umpires behind the plate, not rotating as they do. Pay them more if need be.
