NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Major League Baseball’s Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS) had arguably its best moment on Saturday afternoon in spring training.In a game between the Cleveland Guardians and San Francisco Giants in Scottsdale, Arizona, Robbie Ray was facing Sean Mooney, who was at the plate as the tying run in a 3-0 game and an 0-2 count with two outs in the top of the fourth.Mooney took a low sinker that was called a ball by home plate umpire Bill Miller, but catcher Patrick Bailey challenged the call. Only a batter, catcher or pitcher can challenge calls, and the challenge must be almost immediate. Each team gets two and retains correct challenges.  Miller announced to the crowd that the Giants were challenging the call to get out of the inning, but he accidentally left his mic on, providing a hilarious misstep.”Please be a strike,” Miller said, before quickly realizing that everyone had just heard him. Bailey, too, had a pretty hysterical reaction.Miller was actually rooting for his call to be wrong, but it was over 100 degrees in Scottsdale, so maybe Miller wanted to simply cool down.

Springfield Armory has just announced three new Aimpoint COA-equipped Echelon models.When the Aimpoint COA and its neat new A-CUT mounting system were announced last year, many shooters were excited to get their hands on it. The ability to do so was limited, however, due to it being exclusively available on Glocks for the first year and those sales being limited to MIL and LE customers for much of that time frame. Thankfully, that 1-year exclusivity window has recently ended, and Aimpoint COA red dots are starting to become available on a wider variety of handguns. The latest to be announced is the Springfield Echelon, with COA variants being offered for the 4.0C, 4.0FC and 4.5F models.The Springfield Echelon left our team impressed, but the new optic option should help make it even better. The trick behind the Aimpoint COA is twofold: there’s the red dot itself, and there’s its A-CUT mounting system. The COA is a rugged yet lightweight closed-emitter optic that features a 3.5-MOA dot, a huge 15x15mm lens and an excellent battery life. Meanwhile, the A-CUT mount dovetails the entire optic into the slide of the Echelon and secures it via a front hook and rear wedge. This…
