You're going to be. Hello and

welcome in episode 681 of the sleeper in the bus. It is Wednesday May 1st. I'm your host Paul Spore and I'm joined not only by Justin Mason, but also Joe Pza Pia and gentlemen were here to fix baseball.

Welcome and good morning.

Excellent. That sounds like a worthwhile task. I love baseball, but I think it needs

some fixing Paul. I do too. I absolutely love it.

Baseball's perfect podcast over. Thanks for coming on Joe.

I love the talk.

Yeah, I mean, geez, you know, it's, it's, yeah, I'm an optimistic guy,

but I'm a realist at the same time there's things that have

annoyed me quite a bit about baseball in the last I would say two to three years especially.

I cape for baseball in particular things.

The one thing I probably the most is while pace to play is bad.

I do balk when football fans of all people try to try to really clown baseball for that because I find

football games to be nauseatingly painful to watch which again if they feel that way

about baseball that's fine but just admit that your own sport is similar. But other than that there's a lot of

stuff that that baseball needs to needs to clean up and right now I'm worried that

the man at the helm Rob Manfred isn't really the right guy for it.

So we'll start on field.

We'll talk about some on field.

That'll be like rule changes, pitch clock, you know enforcing batter staying in the box, spanning spanning the shift other ideas that you may have not just the ones that have been talked about

We'll start there and then we'll go to off field stuff labor sort of things

Playoff sort of stuff.
