113.592 - 140.234 Trevor Plouffe

A little bit. Nice. We talked about it before the episode. We're screwed either way. Yes. We're either going to be called Manfred apologists or we're going to get in trouble by Major League Baseball. That's what's going to happen in this episode. We'll see how it goes. But to your point... Since 2015, we've had 18 things impact the game. 18. Straight out the rip.

140.734 - 152.989 Trevor Plouffe

If you told me a league had 18 changes in the last 10 years, I would say that's crazy. I don't like this league. Follow along the episode to see if that's my sentiment with baseball.

154.032 - 169.73 Jake Storielli

Yeah, no, we're expecting to hear from you guys in the comments saying we're probably too soft at times. We're expecting to hear back from the league that they don't actually control our content, but if we say something they don't like, they do reach out and say we didn't love that.

170.271 - 171.113 Trevor Plouffe

And we say...

172.561 - 193.833 Jake Storielli

I say, Hey, I'm get me in the front of the game, baby. I never said that in my life. You've never said it doesn't fit you. Uh, it doesn't, uh, that's more so my lane, uh, that, yeah, I'm, I'm excited to go through some of these. There's again, some of these rules, I think I have tweaks or thoughts or things that we can build on.

194.354 - 211.56 Jake Storielli

Um, I also, I guess we'll get to it probably with ABS, but you know, that's kind of the newest thing there. Uh, Let's dive in, Coach, because I think another part of the whole point of this, you mentioned how many changes there actually are, and a lot of these are significant.
