Live from Southern California, this is the Jim Rome show.

Now, I knew I would get this in at some point today, but I did not necessarily think that I would lead with this today, the Ump show.

But developing and breaking news makes it such.

So on the one hand, it is a hump day.

But it also happens to be an ump day.

Yo, ump show.

Y'all having fun yet?

Yo, ump show.

How's that new challenge system treating you?

You guys don't have to answer

that because we already know.

We already know that you all

absolutely hate it.

Which is why

I absolutely love it.

Of all the positive changes

that have come to baseball in recent years,

this one is by far the most positive

of them all. Now, generally, I am not about the robots snatching people's jobs unless you really

suck at your job and you've got an ego about that job and you make it all about you.

You know, all those things that the ump show does.

Then you're going to get exactly what you deserve.
