00:00what did you think you know watching haven't watched this series from game one uh greg and now
00:06watching especially last night in the extra inning and the ability where the challenge resets
00:13every inning whether you're right or wrong reset it i all i remember is the you know the old school
00:21baseball guys going this is the worst thing you're ruining the game of baseball this is not this is
00:26it's so unnatural you can't just stop i gotta tell you i it brings another level to watching these
00:33games and they've done a really good job on the broadcast because the guys aren't tipping it
00:38they're letting you see it and then they talk about what's going on which i think is uh is
00:45interesting but i'm wondering when do the guys in the booth know what the result do they see it in
00:50real time or are they holding off until until the graphic shows up no no they're not yeah no i'm
00:56part of the broadcast so i can tell you that you have a really you have a really good indication
01:01sitting at home like everybody else does watching pitch tracks now really we get yeah we get access
01:07to uh the uh what's called the major league baseball research tool so that's not something that the
01:13public has access to i have access to that and everybody involved in baseball has access to that
01:17and that gives us a little a little bit more of an indication as to where the ball landed and
01:22whether
01:23or not it's a ball it's a strike but the the definitive answer is coming from that board at the
01:27game that that's where it's coming from do we do we have a we have a little bit more insight
01:32do we have
01:32a better guess than than uh the people at home yes yes that is the case but you know to
01:37your point
01:38and this is why look no one ever likes a commissioner joe no one likes silver no one likes stern
01:45no one likes manfred no one likes ceiling no one likes anybody but but rob manfred i mean i don't
01:50know what his legacy is going to be in the end and certainly if there's a long lockout or and
01:54something that could change it but when you think about it joe like you you may do a show in
01:59two days
01:59and go oh that's rob manfred but think about what he did he get he did the bases made more
02:04stolen bases
02:05right we got more stolen bases out of it everyone didn't want that he eliminated the shift which
02:10created more hits there put the pitch clock in no one wanted that it's the best thing ever
02:15uh the abs system that has absolutely worked and listen i know it doesn't sound like joe you like
02:22the ghost runner i love the ghost runner by the way i hated it when it first started i will
02:25tell
02:25you something else as part of the new cba with the players i can assure you that at some point
02:31we're
02:32going to get the ghost runner and play off baseball now i i don't think it's in the 10th inning
02:37but i don't think you're gonna see a lot of games go 12 innings anymore without using the ghost
02:42ghost runner i think it's coming
02:43i think it's coming
