All right, welcome to the Kevin Wilde's podcast network. A lot of people have said, what's been going on with the other podcast episodes. And I don't know what to tell you. All of our podcasts, including our 6-7 podcasts, our current events podcast called, hold on, what? And what else? Oh, hold on. I read a book and I need to tell you about it. I'm really in the Stephen King funk now. But now it's time for our current podcast. Hey, what's going on?

Today's episode of Hey, what's going on is about three stories that happened in the last

week in sports that made me obviously say, hey, what's going on?

And they're all based around paying attention.

The first story is the Red Sox and the Astros, where in a normal baseball game, the Astros player, Cam Smith,

swung at a pitch and missed it twice. And then the Red Sox had maybe two errors on a stolen base.

Then the third pitch came in. It was a swinging third strike. And no one cared.

It was a three pitch swinging strikeout. And neither the Red Sox, the umpires, the Astros, or the fans who, it was in Houston, they weren't

incentivized to say, hey, it's not how baseball would work, should have raised their hand and say,

you're out.

I would have done it as a man of principle.

If that game was at Fenway Park and Roman Anthony was at the plate, I would have stood up and said, you're out.

You swang three times.

That's how it works.

So that's part one.

Part two was the Mets game.

Francisco Indoor is a great player. It was one out, ball to shortstop. He picks it up,

man on first, easy double play ball. He touches second base, starts heading to the dugout.

Just not thinking.

Later on in the game, he takes a lead off first base, starts fiddling with his sliding mitt,

and they pick him off, and he's just not paying attention.

So I was like, hey, what's going on, attention edition.
