Mets players misuse ABS challenges in games against Tigers
Mets announcer Gary Cohen criticized players for wasting ABS (Advanced Ballpark System) challenges on low-leverage situations during games against the Tigers. Specific examples include MJ Melendez challenging a pitch in the second inning with the team down 2-0 and no runners on base, and Brett Baty losing a challenge in another instance. Cohen and analyst Ron Darling argued that challenges should be reserved for high-leverage situations late in games.
