So let's talk about the rotation situation.
That leaves a very thin staff.
Who is starting tonight for Miami?
Good question, Wes.
The brief doesn't explicitly name the probable starter for tonight, but we know Sandy Alcantara, Uri Perez, and Jansen Junk are in the mix.
Given the injuries to Meyer and Bender, they might be leaning on someone like Ryan Gusto or even a reliever if they're in a must-win spot.
right? And look at the Diamondbacks side.
Their offense is clicking.
If Miami starts a veteran like Alcantara, he needs to go deep into the game because the bullpen is so depleted.
Exactly.
This puts pressure on the starters to eat innings.
It's a classic late-season grind.
Let's talk about the ABS challenge system.
You mentioned it in the headlines.
How does that impact the umpires tonight? The D-backs are aggressive with challenges.
Great point.
The ABS challenge system tracker shows team rankings for batters and catchers.
If the D-backs are high on that leaderboard, they're going to challenge every close call.
That slows down the game and can frustrate pitchers.
Frustration leads to mistakes.
If a Miami pitcher gets rattled by constant challenges, that's when you give up those big innings.
