00:00I know that they did not put the ABS system in the World Baseball Classic
00:04because it's, first of all, brand new to Major League Baseball.
00:07It's been used at the lower levels,
00:09but also you have international players that have not used it
00:12in any way, shape, or form.
00:14I feel like that's a cop-out.
00:17It's also the ballparks that they play in in the bonus pool round
00:20where they're in Japan and the DR, they're not equipped to do it.
00:24This is what happened with the pitch clock last time too
00:25where they were in the middle of spring training.
00:27Everybody's getting used to the pitch clock here.
00:29They immediately stop it.
00:30Why are they not equipped to do it?
00:32It's one camera.
00:33It's only one camera.
00:35Why are they not equipped?
00:36No, the system's not installed at those ballparks.
00:40And it's more than one camera.
00:41It's a lot of technology.
00:42Does the broadcast bring it?
00:43No, I guess not.
00:44No, it has nothing to do with broadcast.
00:45All right.
00:45So I think it's kind of a cop-out when you get to this stage.
00:51If you're going to play these games here,
00:53then at the very least at this stage of the game,
00:55when you get to the semifinals and you're out of the pools,
00:58you should use it.
00:58You should have it.
01:00Sorry, guys.
01:01You got to learn how to use it.
01:03It's that simple.
01:05T-Bone was celebrating this last week.
01:07I was so mad.
01:09So mad.
01:09Celebrating.
01:09It's the one blemish on the game.
01:11I mean, I don't understand.
01:12Which is beautiful.
01:13Right.
01:13Which makes it beautiful.
01:14No, there's nothing beautiful about that.
01:16This was amazing.
01:17Okay.
01:18What a way for this game to end.
01:19It was amazing.
01:20I mean, even without a...
01:21It's the imperfection of baseball.
01:23But Perdomo just put up an insane at-bat, fouling on multiple 100-mile-per-hour pitches.
01:27He earned that walk, and you robbed him from that.
01:30Even if this happened 10 years ago, without even the possibility of ABS,
01:34you'd be saying, that sucks.
01:35That's what we're talking about.
01:36I don't know about it.
01:37The ABS was not a thing this year.
01:39We would not be talking about it.
01:40We absolutely...
01:41Well...
01:41We would not.
01:42We wouldn't.
01:43We would mention it.
01:44We would say he got jobbed on the final pitch of the game.
01:46The umpire had a massive strike zone.
01:48I don't think...
01:49Especially in the eighth inning, too, where Juan Soto...
01:51The game changes in the eighth.
01:52When he doesn't get that walk, he gets robbed with Garrett Whitlock on the mound.
01:55I don't understand why you're celebrating it.
01:57It's some sort of great...
01:58First of all, I'm a great American.
02:00First of all, Fuzz knows the zone.
02:03That pitch was not in the zone.
02:05And honestly, it wasn't that close.
02:06It wasn't.
02:07Which is why I think it sucks.
02:09If it were close, if it were borderline, you could live with it.
02:12When it's not borderline and you just blow it badly...
02:14It's not a plate.
02:15Like, that to me is a problem.
02:18That's where you've got an issue.
02:19It's part of the game.
02:20Well, it's not part of the game anymore, but it is part of the game.
02:23It should be part of the game.
02:24It doesn't have to be part of the game.
02:26You don't want that to be part of the game ever.
02:28That's what I want.
02:29I want an electronic box telling me what's a ball and a strike.
02:32That's what I grew up with.
02:33I want the call to get right.
02:34And then the drama that would have been there, right, by the way, if you had Tatis at the...
02:38Get rid of the umps, then.
02:40I'd be fine with that.
02:41We're on our way there.
02:42I'd be fine with that.
02:43I mean, that is going to happen.
02:44Balls and strikes are going to be automated, fully automated at some point in the probably
02:48near future.
02:48There's literally...
02:49I know that people like to talk about these things in the abstract as if it's many years
02:53away.
02:53It's not.
02:54It's happening.
02:56It is coming to baseball.
02:57It's coming to baseball.
02:57It's coming to baseball.
02:58It's going to be big for me.
02:59You
