No, but I'm burnt.

I'm still burnt on my wrist.

Okay.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

But 45 days, right, of spring training.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: We Have Some ABS Chaos

But you see these challenges.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: We Have Some ABS Chaos

The way they did it was we're going to challenge early in the game because we want all these guys, as many guys to experience.

I saw games where literally the first batter of the game challenged.

So I think there's that element of it too, which is what we saw yesterday.

And I think sort of Roman fell into that.

And, and then you obviously had Narvaez.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: We Have Some ABS Chaos

He fell into it where you can't, you cannot, this is the takeaway.

One of the takeaways guys, you cannot challenge a ball and strike call unless it's egregious

In the first three or four innings.
