Tigers 2025-2026 Offseason: Trades, Free Agents, Call ups, Rule 5, tender, non-tender, Skubal Cy Young Award

SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

MLB has just introduced the Automated Ball Strike system (ABS) which uses technology to determine whether pitches are in the strike zone.
Human umpires will still make the initial calls but teams will be given a limited challenge system. The players may only challenge while managers cannot.
The ABS system was developed to answer fans’ concerns about inaccurate umpire calls that can determine the outcome of a game. It is expected to help resolve the most obvious and incorrect calls.
But is this a good idea to allow technology to start taking over more of the game? Will it take some of the spirit and spontenaity out of the game? It may end up eliminating the infamous manager vs umpire arguments.
What do you think? Is the ABS system a good idea?

Do you like the concept of the ABS system?

1. Yes, anything that will make umpiring calls more accurate.

2. No, it will diminish the soul and spontaneity of the game.

Beau Brieske is slated to throw a bullpen session today as the Tigers gauge his recovery from right ribcage tightness. Brieske has pitched in just two games this spring but manager A.J. Hinch told the Detroit Free Press’ Evan Petzold and other reporters that Brieske “has plenty of time as a reliever to accomplish what he needs to make a run at this team.” Ankle and elbow injuries limited Brieske to 22 Major League innings last season, and his health setbacks surely contributed to a 6.55 ERA. While the ribcage issue is another setback, Brieske is aiming to return to his past role as a solid swingman on Detroit’s staff.
