Major League Baseball kicked off the 2026 season in San Francisco, a 7-0 Yankees win over the Giants at Oracle Park, and it three-plus innings to get the first official ABS challenge in league history, which was totally botched by the Netflix production team:
The umpire's strike call was upheld.
My take: Way to go Netflix. You had one job, instead of a dugout chat in a 5-0 game. The ABS challenge was eventually shown on replay. So a replay of the replay.
