1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: Western and Southern Financial Groups Hands Prentermen and Jones on Peaceball, Crocket, 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: You Win part by RNL Carriers on seven hundred l 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: towed cool the Cincinnati Reds Trace. 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 2: We touched on this after the opening game of the season. 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 2: It was rather prominent last Saturday when C. B. Buckner 6 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 2: had his problems behind the plate in that extra inning 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: win for the Reds. But your early opinion of the 8 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 2: ABS system, we've seen some really fucky things that have 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 2: happened in the early games. 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 3: Well, we talked about it before the season, and I'm 11 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 3: kind of old schooling, I says, Marty, I'm not gonna 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 3: like this ABS thing, And you said, Trace give it 13 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 3: a chance because they're real quick to rule on it. Yes, 14 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 3: which they are. I think it's the best thing that's 15 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 3: happened to baseball, especially when you have a lousy umpire 16 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 3: who totally sucks in C. B. 17 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 4: Buckner. 18 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: He made six bad calls. It was unreal, it was unbelievable. 19 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: And now somebody told me that one of the prominent 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: former umpires made the I'm at that he didn't like 21 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 2: it because it embarrassed the men working behind the plate. 22 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 2: And I'm saying if you're a good umpire. That percentages 23 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: last year overwhelmingly favored the umpires in the minor leagues 24 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: that they were right, way, way more times than they 25 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: were wrong. If you're a crappy umpire, then you got 26 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 2: a real problem with this system. I think it's the 27 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 2: easiest job to have besides teachers, to go out there 28 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: and be an umpire right because if you get it wrong, 29 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 2: you just go to the video and get it corrected. Yes, 30 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: so there's no pressure, kind of like a teacher, I know. 31 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: I think the quickness of it which blew me away 32 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 2: the first time I saw it here because we didn't 33 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: really see it in spring training with the lack of 34 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: video boards and such as that, and the way they 35 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: do it now, I think as spectacular it may go down. Well, 36 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: I'll tell you something about that game Saturday, which I 37 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: think will be unique. 38 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 4: We'll be back in a moment. 39 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: Talking about the early return burns on the ABS system, 40 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: the ball and strike system him uh put on by 41 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: the Major League Baseball this season. That Saturday game might 42 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: be the first. I know, it's the first and maybe 43 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: a long time coming again, if only the only time 44 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: I've seen back to back challenges twice in the game. Now, 45 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: the first time he came out right because he was 46 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 2: right both times. Second time he was wrong both times. 47 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 3: I know in defense of Ceebee Bucker, because I know 48 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 3: you like to pile on people. Uh you know, it 49 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 3: was only an inch out of the strike. 50 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 4: A little bit. A lot of hitters were swung at 51 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 4: that pity I wouldn't have. But the problem I have 52 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 4: is the whole thing with Story in that check swing. 53 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 4: He's got to ask the first base umpire. Did he go? No, 54 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 4: he didn't even ask. He didn't even ask. 55 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: The catcher put a quick tag on him, and that 56 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 2: Buckner went with it and said that was it. 57 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, Trever Story lost his mind. He did, he did. 58 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 4: I'd like to see it go back and get rid 59 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 4: of umpires. 60 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 3: I think that's a cost that May League Baseball needs 61 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: to do with that, get rid of all those. 62 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 4: Guys and make it all automated. Absolutely. 63 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: What do you think I think technology being what it is, 64 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 2: I think they could do it pretty much, except for 65 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 2: maybe bullshit down the line and that type of thing. 66 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 4: But plays it first, second, third, I think they could 67 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 4: do that. It's going to happen one of these days.
