## Resource

The Guardians’ automated ball-strike system woes cost them a brutal 9-4 loss to Boston, with a pivotal seventh-inning call—where a Statcast strike was ruled a ball—forcing in the tying run. They’d already burned both challenges earlier, including a questionable one by struggling hitter Stuart Fairchild, leaving them powerless when it mattered most. The hosts argue the team lacks clear strategy for when to challenge, leading to wasted opportunities in critical moments. Sunday’s game is a stark warning: challenges are most valuable late in tight games, not mid-inning when you’re ahead. Without a solid plan, this weakness will keep costing them.
