Because then you get to two strike counts more often and that's always going to be hard.

But I think offense, you know, is traditionally down the first couple weeks of the season anyways with pitchers are healthy, they have their best stuff and climates are colder and this and that.

But that'll be interesting to follow as the year goes on.

Yeah.

I mean, it's, it's definitely, I believe outlined just kind of how to define leverage and when to use those.

I think we've only ran out of challenges once, but,

And it was just the end of the ninth inning, just throwing out there kind of situation.

I think I did it and lost one.

So I think maybe that informs that we could be a little more aggressive, I think, on the offensive side.

I think we've probably left some out there.

I struck out looking last night in the first inning, and it wasn't like, ah, maybe I should challenge.

I thought it was a strike, and it wasn't.

It was a half an inch off the plate in, but it felt like a strike.

Yeah.

I was wrong.

So it's like, it's that stuff happens, but I think we could be a little more aggressive offensively, especially in, you know, second, third inning, a couple of guys on base, a lot of games are decided early and nothing happens in the night that affects the game.

So yeah, it'll be interesting though.

Yeah, so I still haven't really heard an official black or white, like this is the right or wrong call on that.

I think the rule is that you can't have any part of your body in front of the base.

That changes a little bit when you've caught the ball already outside of that and then move to tag, which is kind of the space that I thought I was in.
