## Resource

Baseball is back in swing! Jose Fernandez is the seventh player in MLB history to hit two home runs in his debut. Umpires are having a rough start to the season, CB Bucknor misses a call at first and Mark Wegner loses track of the count. Shohei Ohtani threw six scoreless innings during his first start of the season. Plus, the ABS is NOT working how everyone thought. Coaches are challenging the wrong calls, causing them to not be able to challenge calls that are clearly wrong.
