Dave Portnoy discusses his initial dislike for the MLB's new automatic ball-strike (ABS) system, which he now loves, despite the Red Sox's seemingly poor strategy. He criticizes the Red Sox for wasting challenges early in the game against the Reds, noting they lost all challenges before the fourth inning due to umpire C.B. Bucknor missing many calls. He emphasizes the need for teams to save challenges for later, more critical game situations.
