Yeah, I would wonder if they thought that was the reason why, say, teams in the American League were losing.
If you could sort of, you know, put correlation to maybe the reason why the strike zone might be a little bigger, it might be a little smaller, people are not swinging as much, maybe you're not winning as much, you're not losing as much.
Like, if you can correlate that, maybe you got a chance or a reason why to change the strike zone.
I just...
you said the hitting's never been harder.
It's true.
You know, I'll give you an example.
Addison Barger came off the IL, and the first day he was back, I went up to some coaches and said, because I'd like to, I wanted to say hi, how you doing?
You know, how you feeling?
And I said, hey, where's Addison at?
And he said, he's down on the eye pitch.
And I said, I pitch.
He said, yeah, he's down there because the dude they're facing today throws 100.
You know, and it throws 100.
And it can throw upwards of over 100.
And it's just how they try and prepare to just hit high velocity has just gotten out of control.
And now you're asking them to worry about the north strike zone.
It's just sometimes too much, Jason, I think is my point.
Too much.
Well, yeah, you mentioned it real quick.
