Chris Cody

is black dislike yep disliked by umpires and he is someone who is uber confident when he walks into the batter's box and i have watched at bat after at bat after at bat after at bat where he has a great eye where he knows that ball is just off the plate most of them do

And he is called for a strike.

Not just because most of them do.

I'm talking about a guy who... He lets the umpire know that he knows.

Not only does he let them know, at a disproportionate rate, you see those pitches that are balls called for strikes.

And he's looking around like, what are we talking about?

I'm telling you, Jazz is going to benefit in a big way from this challenge system.

Zazz with the pitch.

The windup.

Here it is.

The Packers win or the Bears lose.

Bears lose.

So going back to Jazz, this is actually interesting.

What happens when Jazz Chisholm is up to bat, and unlike Chris Sale, Jazz Chisholm will challenge.

And Jazz Chisholm, it's called a strike.

He knows it's a ball.

So...

He challenges, taps his head, his helmet, and the umpire is on trial, all by himself, standing right over there.

It comes back that it was a ball, and what if Jazz just got this shit-eating grin, just staring, like, what's gonna happen then?

Well, the other element to also do is, if you are an emotional ball player, and you say, oh, I know that that was the wrong call, challenge that, the skipper's gonna be like, what do you do?
