And if you're Jainer Diaz and you're very good at framing the bottom of the zone and you can goad teams into using their challenges ineffectively, I wonder if we end up finding out that that's a skill as well.

Like actually framing isn't less valuable.

Yes, you can overturn calls, but you also get guys to second guess which calls they're making or use calls poorly.

Yeah, the leverage is just so low.

And, you know, Springer's is a strikeout or a walk, so you get it.

But leading off the game, the leverage is pretty low.

And then Okamoto's, he's like, well, whatever, I'll home run it.

I'll hit a home run.

Yeah.

Yes.

I wonder now.

Now I'm looking to see if Yiner is good at framing the bottom of the zone or it's just random.

No, he's very bad at framing the bottom of the zone.

Okay.

So maybe they knew that.

That's what it is, yeah.

And then maybe that was the scout on the opposing catcher was...

So, pivoting to tonight's game, we're going to see Shane Bieber for the first time this year.

He obviously, big trade deadline acquisition.

First, we saw him back from Tommy John.
