It's very easy, Stugatz, because ESPN is so giant for people to take shots at ESPN for a variety of reasons. So I'm seeing a lot of this in the coverage of what was Caitlin Clark, Iowa against South Carolina. Avery Wilkes writes on X, this is absolutely heartbreaking for ESPN.

Drew Tripp follows up with, they must have said Caitlin Clark 257 times in the final five minutes of the broadcast. She's all they can talk about. She's done more for this game than anyone, blah, blah. They say is the back-to-back national champion celebrate off-camera in the background. Then someone else writes in, Ebony Robinson,

ESPN is doing a whole package on her on SportsCenter as if she won zero respect for a 38-0 championship team. It's despicable. I understand why people have that reaction. I can only speak for myself when I tell you, the reason I was glued to my television on Friday night and yesterday at three o'clock was not because of South Carolina,

although they are great, undefeated, won a national championship. The reason I was there was to watch Caitlin Clark. So people could say what they want, but someone who has never been that into women's college basketball is now into it, or at least was for the last couple of weeks, because of Caitlin Clark and that Iowa team.

I know South Carolina's great, I know Dawn Staley is great, she should be the next head coach at Kentucky, but I was there, my wife was there, my kids were there because we were watching Caitlin't let us to call is done a great job of trafficking off of its star power in general ee s p n uh... saw its highest rated basketball game ever friday night

that's a staggering thing to say yes friday night on the espn was the most watched basketball game at a time that our streaming services are more fractured than ever our attention is more divided than ever friday night was the most watch basketball game in the history of the worldwide leader in sports you had fourteen point two million viewers on a friday nights

friday night that's an eight paper families people go out but i also understand why it is that people who have appreciated this board for a long time are looking at all the newcomers this happens with bands all the time you want some of these things yourself i remember it happened us we want to be as p and people were also to pissed off because what was there's now got to be everyone else is and then you get a bunch of newcomers coming and doing what you just did which is hey i'm here now and i've got a lot of opinions and then next thing you know

amino hassen is a better coach than kim milky and can change everything she was doing in a fix it in a day because you get a lot of newcomers who come into the tent but basketball better than the other sports uh... football we've talked before about the fact that they're wearing masks they're all disposable the only stars you get in football stars like with mass appeal of the quarterbacks you know their faces everyone else is interchangeable the grand majority of people listening this probably don't know what justin jefferson looks like if he walks into a room mostly quarterbacks the rogue center

in a tight end the kelsey's and some quarterbacks uh... so you need the star power to uh... to get people into the tent so that they now are interested in the emotions of dawn staley so that when she's talking about the game from her vantage point you're awed by the reverence and the perspective that she has going undefeated articulating um articulating the greatness that you just witnessed that she cares about she doesn't care how people got to the tent because you just have to be thrilled that people are in the tent. But I do understand why that then leads to why is it that all we're talking about is Caitlin Clark. There is no one who

gets to just be popular all the time. I'm sure there are many people listening to this who are tired of the Kelsey's and tired of Taylor Swift, tired of that. There's always a reaction to the overreaction of the media when everyone starts gathering around and now everyone has an opinion talking about the thing and late Friday night into Saturday morning everyone's a college basketball referee if Kailin Clark was the reason that you watched Sue I and I genuinely believe you even though you lie about everything I think that that's great like I think that's a great example of how ESPN was able to sell you her story over a season

and why it was important and why it mattered. I think the criticism comes from why couldn't we make a 38-0 season matter? Because that's a really unique and pretty rare thing to happen in women's basketball. And so I understand why fans of South Carolina or just maybe people who aren't fans of any team in particular are like,

why didn't they get more coverage this year? And I agree with that. I was at Asia Wilson's book signing at Books and Books in Coral Gables the night that I saw Mario Cristobal and gasped on the sidewalk. And I asked her because she played for South Carolina, she's been in the WNBA for I guess five or

six years now. I can't do the math off the top of my head. She was drafted in 2018, I believe. She's been an MVP, she's won championships, and I asked her how has the coverage of women's basketball changed since you became a pro? Because this year, obviously, the ratings have exploded and there's been a ton of interest in the college game. And part of her answer was that she felt like South Carolina wasn't getting the attention that they deserved. And this was a couple months ago, this was before the end of the season,

but she was like, my alma mater's undefeated right now and I feel like we're not getting enough attention. And I think that that rings true for a lot of people. There's more than one thing that can matter in a season and I think that Kaillin Clark getting attention is absolutely deserved she deserves it she is a phenomenal college basketball player she is one of the goats Dan but I think that there's a lot of other story lines there's a lot of other story lines in college basketball and I think we

hopefully can someday grow to have the attention span to follow multiple at once. ESPN did not do a good job covering this. ESPN did a great job covering this. What L. Duncan was doing on a set that has looked like no other set before it in the history of sports coverage. Very entertaining. Was camaraderie, entertainment, and informative. And there were a whole lot of people who were learning in real time because I don't know how many of those 14 million were newcomers but it had to be a lot of them that were gathering around just to

find out what is all the fuss about what do you mean there's a woman who could shoot with the range of Steph Curry what do you what do you mean that that's a thing so the novelty of, but it doesn't matter why it is people get into the tent. The thing to me that- Just get them there. The thing that matters the most to me is that I did not know that this tent

would not be large enough to hold the number of people. You are talking about football numbers? Thursday night, Amazon tried to get into the streaming game of sports by getting professional football the easiest bet that can be made not just in sports in television their average audience on Thursday night was not Friday night's college basketball game was it was four million smaller than what friday night's college basketball game was and the espn was at least in part

able to cover it that way because of the sheer amount of money that was pouring in because everyone realized at the same time holy shit there's a revenue stream here that must be addressed that we did not know there's a revenue stream here that must be addressed that we did not know would proliferate this way when at the start of the pandemic, the women were complaining about how shitty their training facilities were compared to the men. That was three years ago.

They still didn't have the correct three point lines at one of the regionals. Like the NCAA deserves very little credit for any of this. Like I said last week, they fell ass backwards into this. They have never given the women equal treatment to the men's tournament. They didn't even let them call it March Madness until two years ago.

So let's not, yeah, it's not like the times have changed. They haven't. But I think one of the things that this tournament in particular has going for it and why it's such a disgrace that this hasn't happened sooner is that everyone knows the March Madness format. Everyone understands it's a single elimination tournament and knows what the stakes are.

They know how hard it is to win a national championship and what happens if you lose. Your season's over. Only one team ends with a win at the end of their season. And so it's really easy for a casual fan to jump in and understand immediately what the stakes are. And you can't compare that to a Thursday night football game. I love football, don't get me wrong,

but there is no comparison to that with what we saw this weekend, especially Friday night with UConn and Iowa. And also I think there's a real brand recognition thing that people have, A, with Caitlin Clark, because she's in tons of commercials, she's a superstar, she's on billboards, everything. But also, Iowa is a brand everyone knows,

because it's a humongous university. UConn is a brand everyone knows. They won 11 national championships. It's just, it's easy for a casual fan to just jump in and immediately understand what the stakes are. And I think that, like you said, ESPN, especially with the panel they had during the tournament with Shanae and Andrea Carter

and Elle Duncan, did a really, really good job of breaking every single thing down and explaining it to the audience. And they should get tons and tons of credit for that. And I think that if ESPN is smart, they'll make that a weekly show, even in the off season, and they'll just continue to build up more and more storylines because there is more than just Caitlin Clark. And I don't know, it was just awesome to see how many and more storylines because there is more than just Caitlin Clark. And I don't know, it was just awesome to see how many people tuned in and it might be hard

to replicate that but hopefully the networks pick up and realize more coverage equals more eyeballs. When you say stakes though, yes of course, the one and done stakes are something that is March Madness from the beginning of time and yet nothing approaches football. I don't care if it's a Thursday night game streaming or not. I'm still shocked by it, I'm with you. nothing approaches football care for the thursday night game streamer not i'm not a shock by nothing nothing approaches

football when you look at the top one hundred shows on television every year it's always ninety six football games and then somebody interviewed or the the perl prince in a scandal or something oprah interviewed somebody but uh... that the idea that that amazons amazons okay amazons making a giant but first of all i can't believe The idea that Amazon, Amazon, okay, Amazon's making a giant bet. First of all, I can't believe, Stu Gantz,

when I watch some of these broadcasts, Apple, for example, what they're doing with baseball, their coverage, what I'm watching is stupendous. It is unbelievably good, crisp camera work that I don't think people understand how hard it is for the streaming services, how much money it takes to broadcast a game successfully. What's needed there, Amazon has all the money in the world, did it on Thursday nights impeccably. The idea, this is, if you had told me at any time in my life

Jessica that there are any amount of stakes that I could put on any game anywhere and it would do better than a Streaming service attaching itself to professional football on Thursday night I would have told you football has to have collapsed something bad has to have happened to football It can't be that another sport has come in and gotten better numbers than football. Yeah, but the difference is that my parents don't know how to turn on Amazon. Yep. You know what, they do know how to use cable. There were probably three million people just like,

how do you do this again? It's buffering, it's buffering. The Wi-Fi password. I think the Wi-Fi's out. What is it, buffering? So many people on hold. Yeah. Also, like, the thing we've said about Thursday Night Football for years is like, man, these

games suck. Yeah, but it's still football. Agreed. No one's going to dispute. It's Titans Jags. Look, you're right. It's always the Jags. It's always the Titans, always in disrepair.

No one's arguing that it's good football. We're just saying it's football. Dugats here from my friends over at Simply Safe. Springtime is all about fresh air, fresh starts, and freshly cleaned homes.

Who are you taking? I don't care. Speaking of back, Razorbacks. How about that? Yeah, they are. How about that? Yeah, they are. Yukon, Purdue, rare game where whoever wins their coach goes to Kentucky. Norby Williamson out of ESPN. Does that mean I can go back now?

Huh? Dan, you know what the N in Norby stands for? Not a moment too soon. Here's the problem with a foul call at the end of the Yukon Iowa game. It was a foul. An obvious foul. Everyone stop complaining. Nika Mule, Defensive Stopper, Headline, Tiger Woods has stopped having sex to prepare for the Masters. Tiger,

got news for ya, hasn't helped my game. Lil' Flyer? Huh? Probably not the day to do this. I don't want to do this. I'm not gonna do this. the I definitely don't want to do this. I'm not doing this. Dan, you know what the C in Clark stands for? Not Clutch. Chris Paul. CP3.

No way. Not doing this today. I'm not doing this. This is where I draw the line. Not doing it. Top five women's basketball players of all time. OLI. Caitlin Clark. Not doing it. Well, this is equality. Top five women's basketball players of all time. OLI. Kaitlin Clark.

Hey. I thought you were going gonna go call there. I should've. Dammit. C in coach. What do you do? Anthony Rendon batting.094. 94.

I like to go.094 94 I like to go point zero nine four And he likes to approach it as if there's a giant speed bump before it the a and Anthony randone stands for automatic outs You're right speed bump For 35 million dollars a year Rendon went 278 days between hits. For context, he had a teammate this year that got drafted, got promoted to single A, double A, then the majors, between hits. $35 million. My late grandfather and his late brother used to say more than any other words

in their life in Spanish, that guy is an out dressed as a baseball player. That's the phrase they most use. Couple of late guys cutting it up. Couple of dead guys, couple of dead guys cutting it up. Not a couple of late guys cutting it up. Oh, you said the late. I know.

It doesn't mean that they were tardy. I didn't want to be too heavy handed. I didn't know if you were over it yet. So it's like a god disguised as Michael Jordan, but it's like this guy is disguised as an out. That's right. No, an out, an out. It's dressed as a baseball player.

There's no disguise involved. It's just a- It is an out. It's just an out and it's dressed as a baseball player. Zach Eady, after 10 years of bully ball at Purdue, it's about time you've had to pick on someone your own size, almost. There's no one his size.

Donovan Klingon, Kling Kong. I am not staying up for this game LeBron James commenting on the foul at the end of the Iowa Yukon game all the sudden Everyone's got an opinion on women's college basketball Jesus LeBron You know what the J and LeBron James stands for Dan? I do not Johnny come lately Where's he been You know what the J in LeBron James stands for, Dan? I do not. Johnny come lately. Where's he been?

I guess it would be James come lately in this case. Maybe. New York Knicks, I'm begging you. Please get him. Now what? What are you doing? You were actively not wanting him a month ago. Treat him as the number one overall pick to whatever you have to do to get brawny

He gets you LeBron the Knicks Dan are a brawny away You would fit it nicely there your words mean nothing like a month ago you just you are I was looking at your month ago What do you mean? You don't want LeBron James? You're asking like I'm arguing. Well, the Knicks were winning games They lost Randall Not arguing you said my words mean nothing I agree with you blessed two for one you get brawny also I mean why not upside Katie Martin doesn't get enough credit She's good player Not enough credit. I think it's Kate. No one's talking about

her. That's why. That's why I don't know because no one's talking about her. Kate? Katie? How would I know? No one says her name and her friends call her Katie. But in terms of her not getting credit, what's worse? Her not getting credit or you demanding for credit and not knowing her name? I mean, it's not on me, it's on Ruko. Yeah, of course. Cyndia Falter also not enough credit. Agreed, faulty. It's unbelievable.

That we can agree on. Masters week, Dana. Eclipse. Eclipse. Spencer Strider, out for the year. Shane Bieber, out for the year. Shane Bieber out for the year. In 2020, Steven Strasburg signed a seven year, $245 million contract.

Since he signed that contract, he started eight games, went one and four with a 9-6-2 ERA. You sign a pitcher to a long-term big contract, you get what you deserve babes If you combine the Mets and the Marlins they would still get swept by the Dodgers Chauncey billups Inducted into basketball's Hall of Fame Dan

Mr.. Big Shot. Inducted. Speed Bump. Eclipse. Masters Week. Eclipse. Rooka. If it was up to Nick fans, Jalen Brunson would get a statue outside of Madison Square Garden.

The Mecca. He is good, man. Anyway, yes, he's really good. No one expected him to be this good. Nobody. Nobody. That's true. Crazy. He doesn't do it often. But when John Carlos Stanton makes contact with the baseball, I feel bad for the baseball.

Taking a flyer, Tiger Woods to win the Masters at plus $13,000. I love a good flyer. In honor of Masters week, top five people in sports and entertainment that can note the Masters. That's a good one, Dan. O-L-I. J.J. Putz. Josh Burdey. Number five. Anyone with a last name, Butler. Anyone.

Who is Brent Butler? Look it up. Okay. There it is. Trying not to laugh. There's the move. There's the move. Brent Butler played for three seasons between 2001 and 2003 for the Colorado Rockies. He was talking about the lead off man for the Braves and the Suns. He's not talking about the comedian Brent Butler.

Why didn't you just pick someone? Number four. Cause he's lazy. Master P. Josh Bertie or John birdie hmm look it up Number three Ben Coats You like that one oh, yeah, it's good great tight end Number two Iggy Azalea

And number one, Amen Thompson. Here come the Royals. It's not called the green coat. I hated that list. Wow. It is called the green coat. It's called the green jacket. It doesn't, Bubba Watson said he had two green coats.

He told me that. He's won two of them. He said green coat. Dan has a couple of green coats too. Not the same as the jacket. Couple of green coats, cutting cutting it up what he actually told us is that they only get one Yeah, like you don't get another one if you win another Masters. It's bullshit. Yeah, it is It's not called a coat it just isn't and he's not a great tight end there was no one named jacket Green coats I I feel crazy right now. I'm leaving, I have to pee. Ben Coates. Green Coates!

I don't know the difference between a jacket and a coat. Put it on the poll, Juju. I love the dark show. Roy, what are you laughing about? I have to leave, I'm going to pee? Yes, verbatim. I'm gonna pee. Stugatz's brand of laziness is now infecting everyone.

She was eating during the first hour and she just left during the segment saying she's gotta pee. The Bucks were 30 and 13 when they fired Adrian Griffin. The Bucks are 15 and 17 with Doc Rivers. Grass isn't always greener, Dan-O. Man, that is weird to watch them lose to these bad teams. I know that Knicks last night are not a bad team, but the three before that are bad.

And it's weird to watch them struggle like that. Can't wait to see who Doc blames after losing in the first round. Doc Rivers' diagnosis is never himself. Purdue and UConn. 920 PM my ass. No chance in hell. I'm staying up to watch that. Speaking of hell, our priors, Dan, those are the weekend observations. In today's economy, saving money is like an extreme sport.

Strike one would be, strike! And then you stand up and you give a good point to the right. Stugatz. That's the same for strike two. But strike three, you get down low, you got your hands behind the catcher. All right, the right arm goes up into the air. Hyah!

And then you finish it with a punch. The right arm flings way up into the air. I wish I could see that. The audio is great. This is the Don LeBattar Show with the Stugats. A couple of months ago, Stu Gatz, I had mentioned when talking about the amount of theft and desperation that are everywhere in our country at the moment, that Amazon packages, I can't imagine how much money is being lost in people simply stealing packages that are being left somewhere. And I saw a video over the weekend that made me laugh at the lengths that someone was going to to steal a package because there are so many ring cameras and doorbell cameras that are allowed to catch

people while they're thieving. And I saw somebody dressed as a garbage bag walk slowly up to the door and basically swallow a package. And I hadn't seen it done that way. It was a level of desperation that I had not considered. It looks very much like a garbage bag. I just don't understand why you wouldn't just wear a mask. I don't understand, can you guys walk me through what you imagine this thieves game plan was? Was this thief thinking that no one,

this thief was, cause look, that's the thief. The old moving garbage bag. The thief walking backwards. It looks very much like a garbage bag. You'd have to look pretty closely to see that there are sneakers involved there. I don't get height, you don't get weight, you don't get skin color.

This is genius. Like I know with ha ha, this is funny for the giggles of, oh, a person in a trash bag, this is as good as it gets. You might as well be an invisibility cloak. I think you're being reckless. I don't know, this isn't just a magic trash bag. That's right. If this thief was smarter, they would have

walked a couple feet and stayed still for an hour. Walked a couple more feet, stayed still for an hour. I should have done that. Walked a couple more feet, stayed still for an hour. And then if you're watching the security footage, you're like, okay, there's just a bag there. And then, is that bag moving? They're in slides, you can see toes,

if you look very closely. Hold on a second, look at the turn. Wait for the turn, you're gonna see the tips of toesies here. Hold on. Oh, they're not for flocks. There they are. You're right, they're not sneakers. Chris, is this the toe that was under your stall

in the bathroom at Oktoberfest? These are, what kind of, those are like pantoufles. Like what are those? Those are like fuzzy slippers. I think those are like the modern day slip-ons that you see everywhere. The performance slides. They're everywhere, yeah.

Got that thick bottom. Kinda nice. They're honestly pricey slides. Unless they're fake toes. I was gonna say the same thing, they're like $80 slides. It's not very efficient though, in terms of trying to move quickly, in and out. But it is well concealed,

we can agree that the concealment is pretty complete, although I would say that those particular pantuflas are indeed incriminating. I don't know if there are many just like that. They seem to be a little different than most, I see. Can't believe you would go through the lengths of covering your entire body and then wear shoes that don't cover your feet like that,

especially considering the athletic element of it's way easier to stumble or twist your ankle wearing these sandals, unless it was just a challenge to themselves. You can't believe that there would be an inefficiency in this plan? Yeah. You went through all the late garbage?

It's well thought out. You're stunned that there would be holes in this particular caper. There are no holes in the garbage bag, Dan. This heist is something that you think is imperfect. Look, I've never seen it before. This is a creative effort, and if they're going through that effort,

I'm surprised it wasn't a foolproof plan. I just love, because in theory, this person could have just walked like a human, and as long as you're upper torso, you're not gonna see anything. But this person was thinking, if I stay low enough, they're gonna think that I'm just a trash can.

Like, in this person's mind, he's like, I don't know how I can get caught. I don't know how I can get caught here. Trash bag, and I'm willing to say this, Billy, while it's nice of you to always be that careful, that's a dude. There is no, Billy? Billy?

No evidence. I don't know. There's a level of dumb there. I like to believe that women can be criminals too, Danny. I like to believe. Equality. That men are the only ones capable of this profound stupidity.

Well, the thing about this is, this person knows the person they stole from. Like, I'm gonna go out and assume they know the person that they're stealing from, because they know that package is getting there that day and what it is, and when you're wearing those shoes, your friend's gonna recognize those shoes. This person messed this up.

Yes, we've covered that. However, what I would say to you is I don't understand why you would object to my absolute conviction on that being a man, and then you think it's not reckless to hypothesize that this is clearly a person that knows the person that they're stealing from like which do you think is more accurate your assumption or my assumption that it's a man my assumption that that has to be a man doing that or your assumption that that has to be a thief who knows who they're stealing from?

I mean, historically, like murders and stuff like that, it's usually someone that you know. I got a hypothetical. And a man. This guy, it's a guy for sure, and this hypothetical. This guy ordered something to his house that was inappropriate. He was ashamed to pick it up, so he covered himself,

made it seem like it was stolen, but really it's actually him and it's actually his. He robbed himself? He robbed himself just so his wife or spouse never realized what that was. Maybe the wife saw the package and was like, did you order this? He's like, I would never order that.

What are you talking about? Or it got delivered to the wrong address. So it got delivered to the neighbor and they were embarrassed about what they ordered. So this isn't even a crime. This person's just going and picking up what they ordered. Yeah, that's exactly right. Just saving themselves from the shame

of everyone knowing what it is that they ordered. I would argue that women know how to crouch like this from years of crouching over public restroom toilet seats and therefore I could see an argument. Wow. You think that might be a woman. Never put your butt cheeks on the seat, Dan. Big squatter she nailed it hmm

Speaking of video I'd like to show people the latest video that incriminates that blight of against my people angel Hernandez the worst umpire in the Hess in the history of Basically making judgments put it on the poll, please, Juju, at LeBittard Show. Is Angel Hernandez the worst person in the history of judgment? It's his job. It is his job, that's right, to be an arbiter. But the umpire's union is very strong.

Let's play here some, for the audience, some video of Angel Hernandez being Maximum Angel Hernandez. Here is some B-roll of a check swing, like clearly not a swing. Could not have swung less. I mean, it would be hard. It could have swung less. It would be hard to swing less than that though.

It's not, it's clearly not a, it's not a half swing. It's not even a check swing. Not a single part of the bat goes over the plate. If you can, like, if you're just listening, like it is just a terrible call. It's a high and tight pitch. It nearly hits the batter in the hands. And essentially the only movement

is as they're going forward in their motion like they normally would to swing, is pulling their hands back into their chest. How does this guy have a job? I wish every union was as good as the umpire's union. In angels defense, do you think, hey, who would swing at that? Like the mere fact that you started to swing? You know what you swung mm-hmm right? I mean it's high and inside high and tight

You know is angel hernandez in that forgive me for not Understanding or seeing in the video was angel hernandez the first base umpire there who was making the call or was he from behind the plate so Confident that he didn't even have to go to first base to see if there was a check swing. That was a strike He was the home plate umpire He didn't even go check with somebody else. He was just had a great deal of conviction about his own his own I had a great deal of conviction about his own. I got this one first base coach. All right, let me see some more. Do we have some more just Angel Hernandez video

being maximum Angel Hernandez? What is this Billy? This is Angel getting mad at the Yankees pitcher. So a lot was going on in this game yesterday between the Yankees and the Blue Jays. I believe this was the second incident. So what happened earlier in the game yesterday between the Yankees and the Blue Jays. I believe this was the second incident. So what happened earlier in the game was the Blue Jays pitcher kind of stumbled off of the mound and then decided to throw the pitch anyways.

Gleybar Torres was batting and he was like, whoa, how is that allowed? He didn't like reengage. He didn't look at me. He just threw the ball and it was clearly a ball and Angel called it a strike regardless. So on that play, multiple things went wrong. So there was chirping back and forth and neither team was really all that happy. See, that was the one that I was talking about right there

where the pitcher kind of stumbles off the mound, throws it anyways and he's like, hey, what's going on here? And Angel's like, no, that's a strike. Aaron Boone went out there, he was arguing, how is that allowed? Because I believe it was a third strike and that ended the at bat and he's like, this should not be allowed.

Everyone was a little bit unhappy with Angel yesterday. So then their pitcher, Luis Gil of the New York Yankees, he did not engage with the Blue Jays batter, which is what didn't happen with the Blue Jays pitcher. And then Angel decided he wanted to enforce this rule. And then he was telling him, no, no, no, you're not allowed to throw the ball anymore. So Angel walked out in between the hitter and the pitcher

to make kind of a scene and say, hey, you were wrong about that. And that wasn't even Angel's worst thing of the day yesterday because Angel had one that went right down the middle that he called the ball. What do you think his perception of himself is? Oh, he loves himself. He laughs at himself.

Do you think he says it's a perception out there, I'm a damn good umpire? Or is he just like, I got this whole thing fooled, I got everyone fooled. I think he's great for baseball. I too I like it I love him I think every team should when you're blessed with an angel Hernandez game you know it's gonna be wacky it's gonna be something that you haven't seen in quite a while for your team everything is getting so precise umpires are getting

better and better every year based off the data that we've seen with pitch-tracking even though everybody wants robot umps, except for Angel Hernandez. And it's always gonna be ridiculous. You're always gonna be, both teams are always gonna be upset. It's great for baseball. The thing is, Angel's really doing a service to baseball if you think about it,

because they brought replay into it, and it was a situation where it's like, well now there's replays here, so you can't really dispute a call, you can't have the manager go out there and argue anything because they'll just go to replay and then the replay tells you what it is that happened and that's it, that's the end of the story.

But Angel finds a way to kind of get around replay because he'll do this in plays that are not reviewable. So he's brought back the element of the manager coming out and being like, what the hell is going on here? And arguing with him in full uniform because he does these on all these plays that aren't reviewable. Do you realize how rare it is to have someone

this incompetent never get any consequences?
