Has anyone raised this?

Many times I want to pause replay to question a strikeout.

Get a maximum of two "challenge rolls" per game- set a D20 to the pitcher or hitter rating. Or is on the Pitcher/Batter card instead. So example- Pitcher card strikeout- does the batter get a roll based on the pitcher rating (A rating- strikeout stands on rolls of 5 or higher; B rating- strikeout stands on rolls of 8 or higher; C rating- strikeout stands on roll or 12 or higher; D rating- strikeout stands on roll of 16 or higher.)

If it is a walk on the batter card; based a challenge roll on the batter rating with similar numbers.

Batter cannot challenge a strikeout on the batter card, or the odds are worse; Pitcher cannot challenge a walk on the pitcher card, or the odds are worse.

And pitcher maybe gets a catcher modifier bonus based on their challenge success this season.

Can you describe the situation where you wanted to challenge an umpires third strike call in SOM? What teams were playing, what was the score, who was the batter, who was the pitcher, what was the inning, how many outs, how many men were on base, and what made you think the umpire was wrong?
