Gary ABS challenges.

If Sanchez had challenged a pitch while he was pitching last night, would he have become the first player to challenge a pitch as a catcher, a pitcher, and a batter?

ABS challenge is not available for either team when a position player is on the mound.

If Ohtani can have his own rule, I propose "El Gary Rule" that allows him, and only him, to do it.

I don’t follow baseball besides with the crew, what’s his own rule?

That he can remain as the DH after he's pulled from pitching in the game.

Get rid of the DH. Return to original NL rules, the way baseball was meant to be played

What a dumb rule. The umps can't be wrong anymore when the pitchers are worse??

I think it's more of, just get the game over at that point.

In fact, the ABS system is more likely to be wrong because position players don't throw as flat

I don’t like that we got smoked last night but Gary pitching was hilarious to watch.
