Highlight Patrick Bailey ties the game!

Seriously, this dude is on fire! (Why are we supposed to not like him again?)

Bailey is trash. A couple decent games won’t change the fact he’s a .220 lifetime hitter. And hit .146 for us before we dumped him to Cleveland. If it wasn’t for his glove, he’d be bagging groceries.

Also a lot of his value that he did have came from pitch framing, which was very useful until ABS started and is increasingly removing that source of value

The use of the challenge system largely preserves pitch framing due to the limited number of failed challenges. That was one of the reasons it was more popular in the minors and why the players assoc. dropped their objections to ABS after MLB said they would go with the challenge system.
