Steven Kwan just loves umpires and wants to let 40,000 know how good a job they do, what a guy!
me from my couch calling steven kwan pro mlb hitter an idiot for thinking that was a ball
I’m surprised, Kwan is one of those guys that I feel like has a really good sense of the zone, he and arraez are the two guys that come to mind for zone knowledge
YOLO I guess.
Gotta feel good if you’re Gilbert lmao
i was very surprised kwan challenged there. he’s usually really good at controlling the zone when i watch him
Ugh. He’s on my fantasy team. Thanks for nothing.
Crazy challenge. Not close, 1 out, and nobody on base
ElITe EyE
Lol
Challenge / no challenge is actually pretty big in this game right now. Bo Naylor could have walked instead of struck out if he chose to challenge a couple innings ago, and he likely would have scored afterwards (assuming Hoskins still doubles). And then, the Guardians waste their first challenge on this lol
That’s banned from challenging worthy.
It’s gonna be pretty funny seeing that same reaction throughout the season
An assist to keep umpires employed
I thought they weren’t showing the strike zone with ABS?
The ABS will inevitably bite people in the ass for being emotional and I can’t wait to see some crashouts
He should start the next at bat with an 0-1 count
umps must be feasting that these types of pitches are being challenged.
*These* were the challenges I was excited for. The funny ones.
already loving the abs!!!!
Finally, something Kwan is bad at!
is there a rule against overuse?
That was bad and you should feel bad about that.
New tactic forthcoming: If you have any challenges left by the 9th inning when you’re down, use them to throw off the closer’s rhythm.
There’s no benefit to having any left at the end of the game, & if you stretch it into extras, you get one challenge each inning no matter what, so you don’t lose out there either.
Might as well use them to disrupt the closer’s flow even for 15 seconds.
Doing that in the 3rd as here seems far less beneficial. Lol
I was laughing so hard when I saw this. I like Kwan a lot, but this wasn’t even close.
Also random thought: Steven Kwan, future Mariner? West coast kid, would get to hang out with Ichiro all the time.
Damn that’s a bad look lol, this is gonna make for some embarrassing moments.
Note how this came seconds after I commented on how well he sees the ball
Using abs on a clear strike that’s a meaty fastball away, makes you look bad
Same guy who took a pitch straight down the middle the other day and looked surprised when the other team challenged the ball call.
Your evil ways are coming to an end Steven
This is like watching satan slip on a banana
See umps, the players can get embarrassed by this too!
Maybe this will be Kwans weakness
And that’s the last time Kwan will be permitted to challenge a call.
ABS takes so long to get ready for it to be used to ice the pitcher at the end of games
In a funny note, on the brewers broadcast yesterday Jeff and Rock informed us that after spring training the coaching staff banned the pitchers from using challenges. When the brewers are pitching they only let the catcher call a challenge because the pitchers were really bad at it lol
I’m a Jays fan that loves Vladdy but he is going to do this 1000 times this year.
You do pickoff????? I challenge
Tbf Kwan has a knack for getting rung up on wide pitches outside the zone so I can’t blame him for being skeptical there
he looked kind of lost at the plate last night.
