St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol was ejected in the eighth inning for arguing a controversial ABS challenge. Concerns arose when Minnesota Twins batter Austin Martin successfully challenged a strike call that Marmol believed was too late, as the rules dictate a two-second window for the challenge. Marmol's animated discussion with the home-plate umpire was cut short, resulting in his ejection. As teams adjust to the new ABS challenge system this season, this incident raises questions about the enforcement of the timing rules.
