So...

you know, it requires pitchers to be to be on their on their P's and Q's, you know, throwing strikes.

Yeah.

More so than in the more so than ever.

I mean, you watch any game from like the early 2000s and before, and it's just different.

I mean, you watch you watch so many of those games.

Strike zone would depending would be, you know, this far off the plate that doesn't exist anymore.

And even if an umpire does screw one up, that

And if it's a good hitter that has good recognition of the strike zone, they'll immediately challenge and win.

And it's a ball.

And umpires aren't going to take that chance.

Yeah.

Umpires want to get great.

They're getting graded, too, just like players are.

That's what that's the feedback I'm getting is the strike zone feels smaller because umpires are very much aware of ABS.

They want to be graded well.

They want to do well.

So, you know, they're trying to be cognizant of that.

And, you know, the everyone you can challenge pitches now and overturn them, which can change the course of a game.

Yeah.
