O’s were terrible on replay challenges in 2019

[Frobby]

I just stumbled on the fact that the O’s succeeded on only 11 of 30 replay challenges in 2019.     Their 36% success rate was 28th among the 30 teams and their 11 successful challenges were the fewest in MLB.     
 

A few other tidbits:

- The Royals had the highest success rate, at 82% (23 of 28).

- Texas had the most successful challenges, at 29 (of 46).

- The Twins had the worst success rate, at 30% (12 for 39).

- The Padres made the most challenges, with 54 (46% successful).

- The Yankees made the fewest challenges, at 22 (68% successful).

Ned Yost magic.

There has to be a considerable amount of luck involved in these rates. Umps are still umps a lot of the time even when confronted with obvious evidence.

Better to be terrible at replay challenges in a season in which the team finished about 135 games out of first place than in a season in which they missed a playoff berth by a handful of games.

How many did the Blue Jays do?  Has to be 100+.

I'm curious to know what the average time was for an O's replay.  Umps probably were asking amongst themselves, "Why are we wasting our time."

The Blue Jays challenged 39, in a four-way tie for 5th most in MLB.

Gibbons was the big culprit in most of that. It seemed like he'd do about 3 a game every time the O's played the Jays.

Is there multi-year data, and if so what is the year-to-year correlation between managers/teams?  Is it possible that random chance is most of the variation here?

[Aglets]

Looks like manager challenges have been a thing since 2014?

So yea there should be enough data here so people can at least pretend to find trends.

Oh, I think certain teams definitely have differing philosophies.   While I haven’t systematically looked at every team, in the six years since replay challenges were instituted, the Rays are near the top for most challenges every season, challenging 313 calls in six seasons.   Second most appears to be Texas at 294.    The team making the fewest challenges is (drum roll please) your Baltimore Orioles, with only 180 in six years, followed closely by the Yankees at 185.     
 

And for you conspiracy theorists out there, the Yankees are incredibly successful on their challenges, at 73% over 6 years.   In fact, they’ve had only 9 fewer successful challenges than the Rays, despite challenging 128 fewer calls.   The Rays are at 46%, the Rangers 48%, the O’s 52%.    Either the Yankees are incredibly good at knowing when to challenge, or.....well, you know.

Obviously, Hyde needs to hustle a little more on those challenges. It's not the challenge that matters, it's how you phrase it. And timing. He should let the batboy issue the challenges. Who could turn down a batboy?

No, it's absolutely clear from this data that the league hates us!!!

Pretty sure they don't like it when you sue them.

Maybe the O's could try not suing them?
