I never know how many teams are in the playoffs in Major League Baseball.

How many playoff teams are they letting in this year?

I never know.

But I guess credit to Major League Baseball for trying to become more progressive.

And one of those things is they're installing, I guess, the ABS, the Automated Balls and Strikes Challenge System.

So my first question here, before I get to the video I was watching that Chris immediately notified me of at the same time I was watching it was, is this, and I guess Jeremy's the right person to direct this question to, is this a thing, like, for sure at the Major League level this year they are doing ABS challenges?

Is it challenges?

Yeah.

And is it...

unlimited like what is it i believe it starts with two and so long as you get it right you get both right continue i don't think it's if you get both right i think if you get it right it like stays at two um i can check on that and and correct myself but it's at the major league level this year yeah and it's for your team right it's not per player so it is determining circumstance no different than another challenge in another sport and and and the only people who can

the challenge is the pitcher, the catcher, or the batter, right?

They gotta like pat their head or something.

Wait, two total, Tashay, for the game?

It's two total, but as long as you get them right, you keep them.

Interesting, wow.

Okay, so it sounds like we got that down, all right?

And now they're taking away the square though, right?

Isn't that the thing?

No, no, the square stays, but they're taking away on the television broadcast.

marking where the ball land no okay not even that actually what they're what they're doing we're talking this out yeah no i never know going into every year with mlb i don't know what rule changes are in effect the only different well so the rules for the last couple of years have been have been the same but when you look at at um
