I know a lot of people haven't seen it yet, but I'm very confident by the time everyone watches baseball at the beginning of the year, or if they're actually watching these spring games, you're going to come around with me. That this is the absolute right opinion, and NGO's already there. And I don't think he's watching these spring training games. I think he's just using common sense, because common sense tells you, why are we challenging it? Just do every call. Right. Make it easy. 888808108

1019 the number. Let's go to Rob and Rockaway Beach. What's up, Rob? Hey, Evan, Heiki. Good morning. Big fan of the fan. Appreciate it. What's up, man? Listen, I was a backcatcher in high school and college. And I was able, I was really good at framing the pitch, tricking the umpire that's sitting behind me.

I've been saying this for years that the umpire should not be behind the plate.

He should be behind the pitcher.

He has a full view of the strike zone.

Instead, all this replay crap, they should just put the umpire behind the pitcher.

I always thought that too, but apparently that's not true. I've heard from like catchers, umpires that you just can't see it the same way. So I get it. I used to have that view as well, but apparently that's not true. Yeah, because when you think about it, if you're behind the pitcher, at some point, you're going to have to either move left or right.

And that's going to take your angle off.

You're also going to have to either move left or right, and that's going to take your angle off. You're also going to be more fooled by the pitch framing. I think he's got it completely backwards. I think when you were, because I've heard who set it up, one of the games I was watching over the weekend, one of the broadcasters, may have been Daniel Murphy, because he was doing the game with Gary Cohen. And I think he said, I spoke to an umppire and they tell me they do not look at where the ball is caught. They're always looking down at where the ball crosses the plate. So they're not, at least that particular umpire, was not fooled by pitch framing because he's not looking at the framing. Right. If you blink, someone's throwing 101 mile an hour fastball. You blink at the wrong minute. Yeah.

And the glove is up. It's like a strike. Right. Right. And yes, by the way, I am well aware that if they ever did balls and strikes automatically by a computer, pitch framing is dead. Well, too bad. Pitch framing is basically cheating anyway. It's legalized cheating.

Like you're trying to cheat the eyes of the home plate op-power. I'm not mad at it. It's a part of baseball. And the Mets actually have some pretty good players at that, like a Luis Torenz. But at the end of the day, I don't care if they get rid of it. Let's go to Russell in New Jersey. Hey, Russell. Hey, Edwin. Hey, real quick. So with the Olympics compared to regular sports,

how many teams could Walter Kirk win a Stanley Cup with?

And in baseball, if the person that spends the most money

has an opportunity to get a better chance to win the World Series.

With the Olympics, first off, there's only a specific person that can play on that team,

and you get picked from a pool.

Now you're the best, and you're going to represent the whole entire country.

So these guys can go and play on any team to win a championship

anywhere. The only place you can win the gold medal is the Olympics. No, it's a fair point, but,

and I hate to pick on you, when you call him Walter Kachuk, it just proves that you do not

care about hockey. And so your opinion on it is actually really unbiased, which I respect. But I'm not sure if you'd feel the same way if you're talking about a player on a team you care about. Yeah. Walter Kachuk. Yeah, made me think of the Woodchuck question. The greatest Woodchuck question ever. I don't argue he cares about hockey too much. You remember is Walter Kachuk? Oh, is that the father?

That's the father.
