I worry whenever MLB starts trying to decide what the optimal number of anything is. The optimal number of bad calls is zero to most fans.
I was still confused by the math but I guess the key factor here is that the challenges don't count if they are successful. So you pretty much have as many as you want until you are wrong three times (and now it will be two, for LV).

Came in. Picked off a runner for the 3rd out. Team went ahead in the next half inning.

Do we think he started using it after that Phillies series?
First article from a series this week in The Athletic on the rise of strikeouts in MLB:
It's a fascinating piece. Still waiting for them to provide gift links like the rest of the NYT CMS (but don't need one myself).
Nats are calling up top prospect James Wood tonight. Though clearly they are manipulating his service time on the timing (extra year of control and no Super Two arbitration). How does one know that? Well they are giving away James Wood T-Shirts tonight so it is not like his last few weeks of play earned him this promotion which everyone kind of knew he deserved in Spring Training.

Eddie Rosario gets waived. Assume that Dahl is better at this point for us. 555 season OPS. While he was good in May (849) he was back to awful in June (450).
The Yankees and Orioles had a bench clearing shoving match last night after an Orioles player was plunked in the head. It was amusing to watch Judge wade through the crowd and basically pick up Orioles players and put them on their side of the scrum. He’s a big dude. Hopefully Herstad is ok.

1 year left before FA after 2025 season I believe. Not a bad pickup, has been a fairly good reliever.

The Royals acquired him.. not the Phillies. The tweet was from the Royals thus the "we have"
Yeah, and thus bkox posted it in the non-Phillies news thread...
lol. Ok, been a long day. Oh well, I was confused how we got a competitive balance pick
torn esophagus... wonder how that even happens. Was he practicing sword swallowing?
I read an article about that happening to someone who tried to hold in a sneeze. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
