I was definitely surprised sd won that series. That had to beat either max or degrom and they did. It was shocking how well the bottom of the lineup hit. That was unexpected, those guys were pretty bad all year but showed up in this series.

In 2015 there were 4 minority umpires.

MLB was pressured to promote minority umpires from MiLB to increase diversity

Today, on the 76 man rotation there are 3 biracial, 11 hispanic, 7 black and 55 white.

I'm just saying that they obviously rushed unqualified umpires to the big leagues, for no purpose other than their skin color, and the product has suffered.

Not sure I fully agree with that. But yes I think you should be allowed to challenge balls and strikes 6 x a game.

damnit Manny!!
I went to AAA playoff game and they challenged a pitch and it was way high and overturned.
