There's moments where you'll see a pitcher emotionally react and tap his hat, and the ball's half a foot outside, and it's like, dude, we only got two of those, and the game's 2-1 in the eighth inning, and we needed that.
So I think that there's going to be times where there's going to be inside of the clubhouse head-butting, but...
I don't know.
I like it.
I like it fine, but I'm always about protecting the team and the culture of the team.
And I just don't, I worry that one particular player can ruin the entire vibe because they're selfish with the ABS.
I hope that we get to the point like tennis where they just have it and it's up on the jumbotron and the umpires are going to be there to call people out and safe and maybe catchers interference, but balls and strikes are,
Do you have any problem if it's out of the umpire's hands and it's just basically you're doing computers here?
No, I think that they found the right sweet spot.
The umpires need to be held to account.
The players need to be held to account.
And then the fans need to be satisfied.
I do like the language from the umpires that'll yell at the dugouts.
If you don't like the call, challenge it.
And you've seen that over and over and over again.
Because unfairly, they're both being called out by their name.
They're being embarrassed on the big board and on replays in a game that happens like that.
And then they get endless criticism.
But then when they get it wrong and you don't challenge them, you get to criticize them also.
And I really feel for the umpires in this.
