The amount of anger most here show about bad challenges here is really something. Are they bad? A lot of times yes, but you all get back to me when it has been proven that a challenge has cost them a game. 

I don't recall the exact game but I believe we were down a run in the 9th inning back in June maybe and we had a couple of balls called strikes against us in the inning and couldn't challenge because we didn't have any.

Need to come up with high leverage and low leverage challenge system so we don't waste a challenge on a 1-0 to 2-0 pitch with no one on base and two outs in the 4th inning.  Especially when the pitch misses by over 2 ******* inches.

Put a shock bracelet controlled from the dugout and if they see the arm going to the  top of his head its 10000 volts

Probably could have made it but good decision to hold at 2nd with 2 outs,

And that cost them the game how? Do we know EXACTLY what would have happened after that even had they had challenges to over turn those?

How exactly? Sequence it for me. Were the bases loaded and had he walked would that have somehow won them the game? Even that just ties it.

I don’t really even know what to think of the guy who rages about literally everything giving a lecture to the board on overreacting to Gary’s bad challenges. 

[ImissDougMelvin]

This has to be the last inning for Skubal. They did an awesome job against him

[BCF]

Will probably be Skubal’s last inning

It's a challenge, nothing more then that. It's not a fair ball down the line that was called foul and cost them runs. They're bad challenges. I never said they weren't, but a lot of you act like they cost them games. They haven't.

How do you know that? You can’t disprove it any more than it can be proven. 

[ImissDougMelvin]

Holy balls Henderson, he has been so effective, he keeps at this pace and the Crew puts up a few more, I might let him go the distance.

That was the fastest I have ever seen a pitcher go to 1B on a fielding play.  

[Bulldogboy]

I just love how aggressive Henderson is. Sproat could learn something from him. 

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

I have to give Murphy credit.  He is being extremely creative in managing a short handed lineup.  This far, things seem to being paying off.

what can I say about Henderson.  Kid is doing great today.

would be massive to hang on for the final 4. How about some badger mutual insurance runs?

Sproat's problem is not being passive or aggressive it is repeating his pitching mechanics.  Repeating your mechanics = you can place the ball where you want.  Unable to repeat pitching mechanics = ball goes wherever it is going to go.

Henderson repeats his delivery extremely well.  Probably the best on the team in that regard.  

[ImissDougMelvin]

Wow, I'm really surprised they brought Skubal out for one more

Sproat’s aggressive pitches usually go about 412 feet. Following at-bats where he was nowhere close and walked guy.

[adambr2]

All in all it ended up being a pretty successful outing for Skubal. Hope we can make the lead hold.

Everyone who could be brought up is pretty much hurt 

Would love to have Adams or Jett Williams up but both got hurt same time as Pratt 

Are Fischer (3b) and Adamczewski (2b/of) hurt?  We are signing and trading for guys with <600 OPS and no defense.  Surely someone healthy on the farm can hit OR field (preferably both).

[Bulldogboy]

Skubel pitched mad

Agreed. Sproat just doesn’t have command yet. He’s got great stuff but if you can’t locate it doesn’t matter.
