0:00.0	There you go. Here you go.
0:15.1	HPP nothing personal word of the day Thursday, April 15th. It's Jackie Robinson day 74th anniversary of
0:21.8	Jackie Robinson. We're going to talk about that. We're going to review an interesting movie on Apple.
0:27.3	But first we start with the news of the day HPP. What do you do when you're being no hit?
0:34.9	And you're up there to try to bun. When the defense is playing back, there's a shift to try to hit
0:40.8	the other way to break up the no hitter. Unwritten rule of baseball. You don't do that.
0:46.0	Gorshaki. We told our teams to absolutely do that. We don't want to ever be no hit. It's embarrassing.
0:52.1	Last night, the Chicago White Sox Carlos Rodan, that the same guy who was the third pick on the
0:59.7	draft in 2014. The guy who has had declining performance every year was non-tendered and then
1:04.3	resigned with the White Sox for like $3 million. That guy had a perfect game going into the ninth
1:10.8	inning against the Cleveland Indians. Now you know Terry Francoin to the manager of the Indians is

1:32.0	a bunch of other way. If you're going to do a shift and leave wide open one side of the infield,
1:36.0	you deserve to have a hit against you. Forget the unwritten rules of baseball.
1:40.3	Roberto Perez gets into the box, backdoor slider, back foot slider. That's when you throw a ball
1:48.9	and literally from the pitcher standpoint, you're aiming at the back foot of the hitter.
1:54.8	Rodan is a lefty. Roberto Perez is a righty. So you spin it in and you try to get a swinging strike.
2:01.7	You're never getting a called third strike on a back foot slider. You're trying to get a
2:06.7	swing strike. So the ball spins in and bang, bang, boom. We got to run around first hit by
2:13.6	pitch. Perfect game over. The crowd goes crazy. The announcer's go crazy. Everyone is saying this
2:18.7	is an outrage. Of course he then gets the next two outs gets the no hitter Chicago White
