Like, the Reds ruined their game last night by first pitch challenging early in the game a ball right down the middle.

And actually, it's an asset to the game to help you guys, help the players out, help the offenses out.

I think why the Suarez one you'll never see challenged is there's not a definitive what's a swing and what's not a swing on a check swing.

Oh, I thought it was 100%.

But as far as you can put the box there, you can put the computer on it, you aren't going to be able to do that on a check swing.

Oh, it was a full swing.

I mean, if he would have hit it, it would have been a double.

He would have made contact.

It was a full swing.

And I'll take the over on Donnie's ejections.

For sure.

Absolutely.

Whatever the number is, because I think that he used that tool really well last year to show his passion for he's behind his players.

And I think coming from the Shelton regime where he wasn't as demonstrative, not that he didn't care as much or wasn't behind his players, I think that was a tool that Donnie used really well to show –

the toughness of pittsburgh he's behind his players but the the call last night like i i there's no way i'm not getting ejected on that one and uh i thought he was going to make his way down the first base and go after him all right he chirped a little bit but he stopped short of going there but i thought he would too because it was the first base umpire not the home plate umpire why would he be arguing with the home plate umpire it's not his call well the home plate umpire tossed him so he's the guy that threw him out so that's why he came out and then he kept like

Well, the other point, too, though, is he's saying the home plate umpire should have called a swing also.

It was that definitive of a swing.

That should have been a, I'm ringing him up on that play because I saw that also.

And he just didn't get to first base.

But I was waiting for him to get to first base.
