Tiki began the show saying,

this is an All-Star game gimmick.

It is.

It's never going to come to Major League regular seasons.

Because of something a bunch of our callers have been saying,

it just screws with the integrity, competitive integrity of the game.

You have a dad or a pitching coach doing batting practice.

How is that competitive?

I know it ends the game, but it's not like a hockey shootout or soccer penalty kicks.

It just feels different.

It is different until you get used to it.

And I am telling you, I know baseball, like the back of my hand, that was a nice test run they loved.

And the way people gobbled it up and our first hour calls, people were very pro, oh, I loved it, I loved it, I loved it.

That's what baseball wants to see.

And the fact that a game that was 2-0 in the sixth inning that many people went click to yesterday, today has become a talking point.

Baseball never owns the talking space like this. If they could find a way to get people to react to regular season games, if they end in swing-offs. It's all the problems. It's only going to be like five of them. Which makes it even more special. And baseball lacks special moments. So Tiki and I have disagreed. I think it's not a matter of want.

It's not a matter of whether you think it will work. I believe it's coming. And I believe it will happen after that next CBA. We will get swing off to end Major League Baseball games. So we have plenty of calls on that. That wasn't the only kind of test run we saw in the Major League Baseball All-Star game. and again, calls 888-808-101-9.

We'll get to in just a moment.

Last time we got to see that automated balls and stream, kind of test run we saw in the Major League Baseball All-Star game. And again, it calls 888-808-101-9.

We'll get to in just a moment. Last time we got to see that automated balls and strikes system in play. Now, they did do this in spring training, and they've done this throughout minor leagues and whatever. So maybe you've been at a game and you've experienced this in real person. Independent leagues. Yeah. Both the batter and the pitcher can challenge. It's actually really quick.

Yeah.

So it doesn't feel as disruptive as you would think it would. independent leagues. Yeah. Both the batter and the pitcher can challenge. It's actually really quick.
