During the entire course of my career and the generation before, the constant fight was no salary cap.
It was always that if there was anything we stood for, it was we don't even want to hear the language of a salary cap.
I'm not in the game anymore.
And I'm apprehensive of speaking on what the current group of players, their goal is.
If that's what their objective is, then, you know, respect to them.
But when I played, even mentioning a salary cap might get you in a fight.
And I'm talking about like an actual in-clubhouse confrontation.
So, you know, we'll see.
The automated balls and strikes, how comfortable would you be stepping in with that part of the game looming?
I was one of those players that I'm the type of guy to defer.
And I think it's in my nature to be deferential, whether when I was a younger player, I would defer to the veterans, whether it was like the big tough guys on the team, I would defer.
And I think I would have had a really hard time.
I think I would have had a really hard time with the,
taking a strike away from my team and us needing it in it later in the game, like getting it wrong.
And I, and so I think I would have more, most of the time just passed unless I was like, for sure, for sure that in this moment, the team needs me to get it right.
So I don't know.
I think I would have taken a lot of balls and let them being called strikes.
And on the rare occasion, you know, stepped in.
Do you like the automated balls and strikes?
In some occasions, yeah, but it makes me a little nuts seeing guys be consistently selfish.
