MLB Memo: All Triple-A Games Will Use ABS Challenge System Starting on June 25

[Irrelevant Dude]

Of course MLB is going to screw this up...  What was the problem with the full ABS system?  Why not do it right rather than implement another stupid challenge system?

MLB informed farm directors on Tuesday that all Triple-A games will use the automatic balls and strikes challenge system starting on June 25, per ESPN's Jesse Rogers.

The move is a departure from the full ABS system, which was previously used for half the week, and indicates that the league is getting closer to implementing the challenge system at the major league level.

I imagine they are trying to stay away from a lawsuit from the umpire's union.

the challenge system can be pretty effective and quick, but I wonder how many challenges teams will get... how do you decide when to use them? 1 per AB and then another if you're right? I'm sure there's already rules like that in MiLB, but I wonder what they would use in the majors
