Former Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Walker Buehler has joined the Philadelphia Phillies for a late season push into the postseason after being cut by Boston just before the roster deadline. This time, his comments came as a gripe with the automated umpiring system (ABS) at the plate being deployed in the minor leagues. His take was odd, to say the least, and might give Red Sox fans something of a sigh of relief as questions surrounding his release amid a string of injuries have swirled in recent days. On September 11th, Tim Kelly (@OnPattison) posted an interview snippet in which Buehler spoke on his experience with the ABS system used in the minors. Trialed in part during this season’s spring training among big leaguers, the ABS system automates the ball and strike calls made at the plate.
