Speaker 1: Jason Smith's show. I love going kind of about him.

316
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: every night before I go to my car, I use

317
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: a mirror to look under to make sure everything is fine.

318
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: I can get in the car and see.

319
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,400

Speaker 1: I'm talking about the man in the mirror. I remember

328
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: the first time I saw that scene, I was so unexpected.

329
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: So when I was long, I'm like, oh, I'm like,

332
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,080

333
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,360

Speaker 4: Uh.

347
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: The worst season in Major League Baseball without a doubt

348
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: is going to be the home plate umpires. With what

349
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: we've seen so far with ABS, the Automated Ball Strike

350
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: Challenge system being implemented in spring training, we get it

351
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: for real this year. Right, everybody gets a couple of

352
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: challenges a game. You get one wrong, you lose a challenge.

353
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: So far, the success rate has been pretty good for

354
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: the ABS, especially in the last few days like today,

355
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: what the Yankee game was like, six out of seven

356
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: went a way of getting overturned, six seven sixty seven. Overall,

357
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: you are seeing this over a fifty rate of reverse

358
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: the way you can say, okay, well fifty percent. That

359
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: is every other challenge getting overturned getting reversed, right, And

360
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: again it's been more the last few days in the

361
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: beginning of spring training, now that the batter and pitcher

362
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: and catcher are getting a little bit more into with

363
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: when you can challenge, when you want to challenge quickly.

364
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: You've got to get that in all of those things. Yeah,

365
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: you are seeing things look really bad for home plate

366
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: umpires and that I can't tell you how bad a

367
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: year they're going to have because this is just going

368
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: to go all the way through the season. Now. The

369
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: best parts of this for the for us as fans that, Okay,

370
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: the calls are gonna get right. We have to have

371
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: to complain about that pitch was way off the plate, man,

372
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: how could you call? That's ridiculous? That was ball four

373
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: that was first and second, top of the eighth instead

374
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: of one out, instead of two hours, runner on first. Right,

375
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: This is going to be a story throughout the entire season.

376
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: We get into the season, into the playoffs when you

377
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: can challenge, and players aren't going to challenge unless they're

378
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: pretty sure that we're going to get a reversal here. Sure,

379
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: so you're gonna see home played umpires get reversed regularly.

380
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if Major League Baseball knew what they

381
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: were getting into with the ABS system, and they knew

382
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: they needed it, but I don't think they're gonna get

383
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: to the point where home plate umpires are just gonna

384
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: get made fun of, to the point where I don't

385
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: want to be a crew chief. I want to coach second,

386
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: but I want to be the second base ump the

387
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: third base ump. I am wan come on to everybody, No, no,

388
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it because the ball strike

389
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: system is gonna get absolutely pummeled over the course of

390
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: this year. The more that that players challenge, the more

391
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: right they're going to be, and the thing you're gonna

392
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: see I'll tell you a couple of things. The season

393
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: goes on. We're just saying it's early days of spring training.

394
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: Number one, most of the challenges will come from the catcher,

395
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: because the catcher is gonna know more than anybody. This

396
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: was outside, this was inside, this is over the plate.

397
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: Pitcher is probably gonna be the least batter, will be

398
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: the second most batles go, I think that was outside.

399
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: I think that was here. But the catcher framing the pitch,

400
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: knowing where it is coming over to plate, they're gonna

401
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: be the ones that are going to challenge the most.

402
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna win the most.

403
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 5: What's gonna be interesting to watch, though, is that catchers

404
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 5: the last couple of years have gotten even better and

405
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 5: craftier in terms of you know, the hand eye, a

406
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 5: slight of hand kind of tricking the umpires into what

407
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 5: they think they see in terms of pitches that are

408
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 5: off the plate, but they frame it really well. And

409
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 5: now you'll have the video review to say, nope.

410
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: And this isn't gonna be a torpedo bat story. We're

411
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: all like, yeah, look at torpedo bats, and after a

412
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: week it's all Remember we talked about torpedo bats. Uh,

413
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: this is gonna go all year long. It's gonna be

414
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: bad for the whole plate umpires, and it's gonna be

415
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: so bad that we're gonna get to a point where

416
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: as long as the ABS is overall in the umpire.

417
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: I remember, it's not that the ABS needs that. This

418
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: is still us calling for the ABS system. So there

419
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: is the human angle of the catcher and picture knowing

420
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: when to call for it. Remember, you only have a

421
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: couple of chances on that's it. It's pictures, catchers and

422
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: the batter, right right, But you're not you're not calling

423
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: for Hey on a two to one pitch in the

424
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: top of the first Hey, I think that was a strike.

425
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: You wait, Hey, we need this pitch. That's when we're having.

426
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you don't get to look over going hell yeah,

427
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 5: hell answer the question.

428
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: Uh, we're gonna get to a point at the end

429
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: of this year we're gonna say when can we make

430
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: the robot umps legit all the way through? When can

431
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 1: we take the human element out of balls and strikes?

432
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: If they're going to tell you already where the ball

433
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: is if we're saying okay. So the ball strike system,

434
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: the robot umps either are going to confirm what the

435
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: umpire says or show you the umpire is wrong. How

436
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: long until we get to a point where it's well,

437
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious the robot umps get the calls right

438
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: all the time. Why are we not using them? And

439
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: they're going to take that away from the home plate umpire,

440
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 1: and the home plate umpire is only going to call

441
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: balls and strikes if something happens to the system, if

442
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: it's down, we're seeing it manually this inning. And they're

443
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: also going to be in charge of okay. So the

444
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: home play is not going to not have a home

445
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: play umpire obviously, because you need some for plays at

446
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: the plate. They're just gonna lose that responsibility of calling

447
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: balls and strikes and they're gonna be plays at the plate.

448
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: They will be foul tips, catchers, interference, things that happen

449
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: at the plate that are not balls and strikes. We're

450
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: going to take that out of their responsibility, and that

451
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: will happen sometime in the next year or two because

452
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: it's going to be an entire summer of if the

453
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: computers get it right all the time, why don't we

454
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: have it? And as long as the home plate umpires

455
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: aren't losing jobs, because that's going to be the worst

456
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: optic is that, well, hey, they're putting people out of work,

457
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: that this would be the definition of here's AI, here's

458
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: robots putting people out of work. That's a bad optic.

459
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: But the home plate umpires, No, you're still gonna get

460
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: to be the home plane umpire, still be the crew chief,

461
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: still all these things. But you are not going to

462
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: call balls and strikes anymore. We are We are less

463
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: than two years away from that happening, because I can

464
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: see how it's gonna go this year where fans and

465
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: the like and players are gonna say, hey, ABS is

466
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: working right. When they get it wrong, we can appeal

467
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: and get it right. And if we appeal and get

468
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: it wrong, okay, we know the robot the robotums gets

469
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: it right. They get it right all the time. How

470
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: are we not going to go to that with the

471
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: next two years?

472
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 5: Of course we are, well, everybody that's done their math

473
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 5: work and statistics right, you know you're acceptable, and you've

474
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 5: watched surveys and pull exit polls, or whatever. It's the

475
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 5: acceptable threshold three to five percent. Right, Well, we're farming

476
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 5: on that. So if you've got the technology that can

477
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 5: shore that up and guarantee a more consistent, better outcome,

478
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 5: then that's clearly what you want. Right ever, growing big business,

479
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 5: you talk about the advent of all the different betting services,

480
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 5: the predictions markets and everything else that come into play.

481
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: That you want to make sure everything's on the up

482
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: and up.

483
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 5: And if you've got the technology to make it ironclad

484
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 5: that it's not a decision of a rogue umpire, then

485
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 5: you do that. Right. What I'll be curious to watch

486
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 5: the first month or two is you've got guys that

487
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 5: have called their balls. It strikes yeah, right, it's been

488
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 5: this is my zone and how I see it right?

489
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 5: Not letters on the jersey down to your knees. Now

490
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 5: sure maybe maybe at the belts is as high as

491
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 5: it goes maybe for you know, so we're we're gonna

492
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 5: watch that kind of shrink and change a way. I

493
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 5: don't I don't know that they'll get enough reps in

494
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 5: in spring training to get themselves there. And are they

495
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 5: on the backfields when guys are going through their their

496
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 5: their pitching and habits and and and getting their extra

497
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 5: work in. Are they calling balls and.

498
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: Striking the well? And that's the thing is that think

499
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: about it in spring training, right, is how it's gonna

500
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: be such a bad year for home played umpires. All

501
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna do is get criticized is that players come

502
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: to spring training. Okay, we've got to get back in there.

503
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: Like I've been working out all winter and taking out

504
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: bats and but it's one thing to get back and

505
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: playing every day, learning new learning a new position, learning players,

506
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: you know, getting back in the balls and strikes and

507
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: still figuring out the balls and strike system. Umpire has

508
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: been calling a game this way their whole lives. So

509
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: they're not going to change. Okay, they're gonna continue to

510
00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: call the games the way they are right, so they're

511
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: basically they're calling the games now or you're gonna see

512
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: him call the games during the regular season. They're not fair.

513
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: Oh that pitch was here. Now they need to learn pictures.

514
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: When you learn pictures, that become veterans. Okay, this guy

515
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: likes to work this part of the plate, so this

516
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: is where I'm gonna be looking. You know, Maddox would

517
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: never throw a pitch over the middle of the plate,

518
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at the three inches to the right

519
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: of it.

520
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 5: But then he knew which guys were gonna be a

521
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 5: little more lenient. And as the game we're on, if

522
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 5: he was consistently hitting that spot, guess what. Now it's

523
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 5: six inches off the plate and he's still getting that call.

524
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: But here's the bigger part is that while the umpires

525
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: are trying to figure out the right way to call,

526
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: they're calling it the right way. They're calling the best

527
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: they can. The catchers, pitchers, the batters are learning what

528
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: to challenge when to challenge. Right now, they're challenging why not, right,

529
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm gonna win this challenge. I'm gonna

530
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: do it. And it's spring training, right, and if you're wrong,

531
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: you're wrong. What does it matter? Right, if you're wrong.

532
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: But they're learn the margins. They're right more than they're wrong.

533
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: So what's gonna happen during the regular season when they

534
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: start challenging calls that I know? And yeah, there's gonna

535
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: be someplace where like in the NFL where it's such

536
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: a big play, why not challenge it? Because it's the

537
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: end of the game. You lose if you don't challenge

538
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: the play even though it's it's clear interception, right, there's

539
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: gonna be part of that, But the other parts are

540
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: gonna be. I'm gonna challenge when I know we need

541
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: it and when I know we're gonna win. So they're

542
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: learning and they're they're so the players challenge percentage is

543
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: just gonna go up as the season goes on. It's

544
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: not gonna get worse. Catchers aren't gonna walk around going

545
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a striking. What isn't now? Catcher

546
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: have a pretty good idea what a striker I do

547
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: appreciate to make it take it element of this. Yeah,

548
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: that's that is nice. That is nice. You have two, Yeah,

549
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: it could be as many as forty five to keep

550
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: getting it right. I'm out a heater now and so

551
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: far you know rolled eleven, yeah, forty four times in

552
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: a row watching that, watching the spring training games I have.

553
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 1: You know, it's not been it's not been any more

554
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: of a delay. It's been between ten and twenty seconds

555
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: at the most. It's Okay, that's great, but just think

556
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: about how it's gonna be when we go to the

557
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: robot humps full there'll be a it'll be a big

558
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: up on the scoreboard of the of the of the box.

559
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: The pitch will go in. You'll see where it is

560
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: strike one. We'll know immediately. Okay, that's great.

561
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 5: They have someone out of remote control with the robot,

562
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 5: so he does a history onic so when he punches

563
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 5: somebody out.

564
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: I picture those homeplate the robot umps looking like the

565
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: the delivery robots that like brings that you see on

566
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: the streets all the time. They get stuck in the

567
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: curb and you have to help them out. You up here,

568
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: that's good, You're good. That's kind of how I picture

569
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: what the rowod umps would look like. Like I'm always

570
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: afraid to touch them, like I'm gonna set something off.

571
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but it's like, all right, it's not getting

572
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: over this curve. It just keeps bumping into it. And

573
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: now it's obstructing traffic. So Jason Smith Mike Harmon live

574
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios. So this is gonna

575
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: be the big topic of the season in Major League

576
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: base I don't see it going and just stop shop.

577
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: I'll see you in the NLCS.

578
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 7: Yeah.

579
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 5: Is obviously everybody that gets in front of a microphone saying,

580
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 5: do you expect next season to start on time?

581
00:28:59,600 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

582
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 5: Maybe not, Bryce Harper the latest that. But it's funny

583
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 5: because we're talking about baseball and these changes and the NFL.

584
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 5: I mean, we've got a whole website of tendencies and

585
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 5: trends for each officiating crew. Hey, when this guy's in charge,

586
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 5: you can bet on more defensive holding golf. Now, this

587
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 5: guy doesn't call him at all. They let's beat the

588
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 5: hell out of each other on the edges. This guy

589
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 5: likes to call holding. This guy lets quarterbacks get abused.

590
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 5: I mean, in not so many words, but for umpires

591
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 5: it's now writing a whole new books because they're relearning

592
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 5: their craft after however many years in the game. It's

593
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 5: really gonna be an interesting social experiment. Fift in and

594
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 5: guy says, down with this, I'm done.

595
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: Take off the back. Oh, you've done it. Embarrassment when

596
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: the equipment off. I'm leaving right now. No, I'm leaving.

597
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm just leaving right now, leaving right now, not out

598
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:47,959
Speaker 1: of here.
