00:00Rob Manfred had his all-star game, I guess, press briefing yesterday.

00:08It's impossible to find any video, but I guess he did it in a hallway with no cameras around.

00:15Rob Manfred, here's a couple of things from Rob.

00:17First, he says that robot umps may be tested at spring training.

00:21You ready for the robot umps, Scotty?

00:24The robot umps they're going to do.

00:25Listen to this.

00:26Sure.

00:27Listen to this.

00:28And B, how about this?

00:30I got a guy tells me today that his basketball league, this fancy high-end league here in

00:37the city, and Mafia and I used to play in this league, they are using a robot now to

00:44call fouls because, you heard me, they got a robot that calls fouls.

00:52And it's because there's, you know, they said they brought me up, my abusive treatment

00:58of refs.

00:59They had to bring me into it.

01:01Like they said that I was one of the worst examples of poor sportsmanship with my abuse

01:05of refs and my language and my behavior and my antics and my kung fu kicks and my star

01:12angels and my spitting, spitting on refs that stink.

01:16I like to luge on refs that stink on their feet.

01:20I go for the feet area on their shoes.

01:23And they said they were done with all of the shenanigans of dealing with players arguing

01:28with refs about every single call.

01:30So I have to see it myself to believe it.

01:33I did not know there was such a thing as a robot that now will go up and down the basketball

01:38court and call all the fouls.

01:40I actually have to believe it first.

01:43I got to see that before I can tell you it's true.

01:46But I've been told today they're using a robot to call fouls.

01:50So if they're doing it in hack men's basketball leagues, why wouldn't they do it in major

01:55league baseball?

01:56You know why?

01:57Because the refs in basketball are awful.

01:59The umps in baseball are even worse.

02:02I mean, they're so awful.

02:04They can't even call balls and strikes, let alone outs.

02:07All they do is replay now in baseball.

02:10It happens the whole game.

02:11So and the same in the NFL and college football.

02:14When's the last time you watched a football game where they don't have 45 replays?

02:18Where they go to the, you know, camera to see it?

02:20How about soccer?

02:21VAR?

02:22They can't even get that right with the cameras.
