I think that's the most important thing.

Yeah.

And the couple balls that I hit really hard right-handed, I got myself into a couple of 2-0 counts.

And from the left side of the plate, just that same thing of being disciplined, not chasing.

The guys are going out of the zone, so you can put yourself in a position where you're going to get those pitches that you want to hit.

Yeah, I think what it helps with is just when you're a guy that controls the strike zone, it helps with just some of the egregious misses.

You know, I haven't challenged a pitch yet.

I think I only challenged one in spring training.

You know, the umpires are really good.

They're really good at what they do, and it's tough to do what they do for as many pitches as they see throughout a game.

So the ones that you get, you know, the thing that I think it'll help hitters with is just you get those egregious misses, those balls that...

that they don't see very well and that, you know, it's a ball, um, as, as soon as it crosses the plate, um, just being able to correct those, I think is good for the game.

I think it depends a little bit on game state.

Um, you know, if you get in a situation where, you know, you have a couple of runners on, it's a good situation to score runs.

Um, and, and there's something that's borderline.

Um,

you can challenge kind of in that situation, uh, where you're not sure, but I think if, if it's not a situation where it's a, a huge spot in the game or something that, um, you're a hundred percent committed to, then it's gotta be, you know, on the more egregious side, it's gotta be one of those ones that's an inch or two outside of the zone.

Um, you know, that I haven't had one, I've had a couple that I've thought about challenging, but they've just been nicked.

They've nicked the box.

And so they're good.
