But you see these challenges.
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.
The first batter.
So you were doing that so these guys could get their challenges out, the regulars could get their challenges out of the way before they went golfing in the sixth inning.
So that was the reality.
Now, as it went on, they understood that you have to wait and wait and wait and wait.
But still, there was that mindset where I think that every team is saying this.
Hey, prioritize the guys that you need the extra pitches to.
Like in other words, Aaron judge, you get the challenge, you know, the other guys, eh, not so much Roman Anthony, you get the challenge.
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.
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.
