We've been hearing that Baseball is dead for decades, so is Baseball dead?

Yeah, I mean, Baseball's dead narrative is just one of those things.

It's like dandelions in your front lawn, you just can't get rid of it.

I mean, the fact that no matter is the games in great shape, we've had attendance increases

each of the last three years.

This will be our fourth, for sure.

Our viewership was way up last year.

We had one at a great world series of all times, and we introduced a relatively new event

at WBC that captured the imagination of countries around the world.

So just to set it back up, you want to talk about ABS.

Again, the state of the game, the condition of the game, I think it's in a really good spot.

I think I'm looking forward to this season.

I'm looking forward to this Red Sox season.

I think the Red Sox are an interesting take.

They nested and released some streaming numbers from yesterday.

They killed it on the stream yesterday, like the highest rated streamed game ever.

Yeah, right, yep.

Which I think speaks partly to the fact that, well, more people have to watch on the stream.

Then overall, but also that there's some excitement with the team, and there should be.

So should be an interesting take this year of a thought, Murray.

Yeah, that's how I watched the first four innings yesterday.

I went to an early dinner with my buddy in Cambridge.

We sat at the bar, and he has the 360 app, and he pulled out his phone.

We watched the first four innings, but we had some drinks and stuffed our faces.

It wasn't on the bar over there.

It was a fancy place that didn't have TVs.

Oh, yeah.

Boogie.

Boogie Murray.

Seriously, huh?

But I'm with you.

I'm into it.

I think the product's been better since they've sped it up, where they can hurt baseball,

though, is.

There was a lot going on Wednesday night with the Bruins and the Celtics in the big

gaming.

That's the thunder.

Did either of you touch into that Netflix?

I couldn't.

I was too busy with those with the Bruins and the Celtics.

Go ahead.

That's what's going to hurt baseball.

This that they got opening day is, you know, I get it.

Streamings taken over, but I don't need a hack comedian, Bert Kreischer in my face yelling

at me.

I'll do respect.

Jason some WWE guy.

Can't remember yelling at me.

The gray hazy look that the game had.

I only watched for like a couple of innings.

I just wanted to see what it looked like.

They're super imposing holographic ads behind home plate.

It looked like fireworks had gone off the whole time out in San Francisco.

The product was, it was offensively bad, horrific even.

And that I, I mean, if I was a Yankee or a giant fan, I'd be out of my mind had I had

to watch that.

Rather than, you know, you're a New Yorker, you would, you would want to tune into the

yes network to watch the Yankees opening day.

You got to go to Netflix and some dopey comedian yelling at you and some WWE guy graphics

that make no sense, the bad camera angles.

It was awful, absolutely awful.

Was the comedian during the game?

Oh, yeah, no, they kept checking in with them.

It's just, again, I only watched a couple innings, but from my understanding, like he was

there the whole time.

So I didn't watch, I didn't watch it.

So I don't have a comment.

You would have been mad.

I don't have a comment on the product, but we did talk Murray the other day.

I think the, the two biggest issues facing the game on the field, number one is balls

and play.

But perhaps an even bigger issue off the field and overall is the general question, where

is the game?

How do I get it and how much does it cost?

It's just become so splintered and confusing and expensive and a pain in the ass to get

all the games.

You can't just turn on Nesson or TV 38 or whatever.

It's, you have to download this, download that, have that service, this service, that

service, this service.

You got to pay for it all.

If you're older or impatient like me, it doesn't come naturally to you.

So it's a chaff, even to get online to have these things.

If it's a big sports night, like the other night, you can't really have it on Netflix

on your TV and then toggle between Netflix and ruins and the Celtics.

You get have an iPad or your phone and your lap and then your regular TV or your pain

in the ass.

You can't channel surf when it's on these streaming services.

You're sort of stuck on it.

But again, I think it's mostly, you know, baseball still trends older and a lot of us

olds don't want to dick around with all the online stuff.

That night on Netflix from what I could gather for the little that I watched was this was

not a product for baseball fans.

And baseball is like a, the older we get, it's really becoming a real niche product too.

Like baseball fans truly care about the sport.

That abomination on Netflix on Wednesday night was for, I don't know who it was for, but

it wasn't for baseball fans.

I got to go back and watch.

You should.

You'll be pissed.

Yeah.

I've heard so many people complain about it.

I'm going to do that.

Well, let's Jason and Brooklyn just jumped in on that very thing.

Go ahead, Jason.

Hey, boys.

Murray, similar thing Thursday.

I went out to dinner alone had my phone up, watched that and then I'm flipping back

between all these other apps.

I got three roll ads having to go, but Murray, I totally agree.

I'm sorry, bougie, Murray.

I totally agree that it is not, that's not for us.

When you watch Sunday baseball on ESPN, it's for the baseball fan.

It's not for my wife who knows Otani and Mike Trout and Aaron Jargent, that's it.

And I think that's, I know Netflix is in these big event things, but there's no eye towards

the regular fan like us.

And I don't understand how baseball can allow that to continue.

It's only one game I know, but it's a shame.

I'm also curious about how, yes, or whoever the giants are on, recoups that revenue that

goes to Netflix.

Well, they don't.

They don't.

The thing about that piece, he says about the baseball fan.

I'm totally with all these leagues, but maybe baseball, especially, is too worried about

quote unquote, growing the game or getting young kids to watch.

And meanwhile, they've alienated their core audience.

Like baseball needs to worry about baseball fans who have left the game because the thing

ground to a halt.

It took too long, the quality on the field wasn't good.

And now we older white guys like me don't want to just dick around with all the streaming

services.

Never mind.

Pay for it.

And then you throw on comedians and all sorts of stupid bells and whistles that we don't

need.

Relentless promotion for other Netflix shows and nonsense like that.

And you see that without the other streaming services too, like, oh, here's so and so he'll

be starting Amazon's new show, F off, like, I don't want this.

No one wants this.

And so they need to worry about getting baseball fans back, which I think they, they have

started to for sure.

I think baseball is back kind of, but there's still more to do there.

I mean, a lot of people left the game.

I mean, I've said this more you the other day, but they lost a lot of people during that

period.

Like, for the last, you know, again, I think it's, I think they put the brakes on this.

But how many times have you heard people say, I used to be the biggest baseball fan?

Oh, yeah.

I used to be the biggest baseball fan.

The Red Sox used to be my number one, like, used to hear that all the time.

I'd get those people back before you worry about some 17 year old kid finger banging

his phone on TikTok, like, just stop worrying about that guy or the casual fan who wants

to see a comedian.

I'm glad I didn't see this.

Oh, you, you would have been real man.

It's like Dennis Miller on Monday night football years ago.

Like, you need that.

And as it was, I know you have a longer screen on ABS, but they missed the first ABS challenge

because they are Yammer and with the Giants manager, like the whole production of the

thing was a mess.

Sam in the car on the Red Sox has us on hold, Josh and North Attabour on the Red Sox.

Go ahead, Josh.

Yes, speaking of used to be baseball fans, I was one of them when I was in high school

in college, actually, I used to read Mads as articles all the time online.

And I mean, I disagree with, is Marcel Meyer take?

I think this guy should be an everyday player for us.

But secondly, Craig Breslow, he signed with us for a multi-year deal.

Nobody knows how long and 2023 in the fall.

If the Red Sox, which I believe will not make the playoffs this year, if the Red Sox

do not make the playoffs, is Craig Breslow going to be out of here?

Maser thoughts.

No, not Breslow.

No, I think the guy who's in more risks this year or more danger is Korra.

Korra is going in after this year, we'll have one year left in his contract.

If things go belly up this year.

See you later.

Maser.

Maser's tears yesterday, Murray, were hyped players who didn't live up to the hype.

Okay.

So prospects though, prospects who didn't live up to the hype and Christian Campbell

being the jumping off point.

As usual, it took over the show and spills into the next day.

John, indulting, go, John.

Yes, hi.

I was wanted to talk about the hype.

Yes, go ahead.

Okay.

And that meant I was thinking that's only brought on by sports media.

Not true.

It's not.

No.

You don't think the Red Sox have hyped these young players?

You don't think the Red Sox, they called them the big three.

And did you hear the Red Sox press conference?

The Red Sox.

The Red Sox.

John.

The Red Sox called a top 100 word with players and look at that guy saying there's a quarter

back.

Okay.

He's climbing the media for the hype in the first place.

It's no.

It starts with the team.

And look, I've seen them do it with guys that they knew weren't that good so they could

trade him and get something for him so they even do it then.

But to your point, the press conference for Christian Campbell, Craig Breslow did nothing

but stroke himself the whole time he was up there.

If you have it, Jimmy, he called it an incredibly significant day for the organization.

He did.

That's pretty much exactly his words.

This is what happens when the symmetry comes together with the scouts and the front

office and the swing coaches and the one big circle session in Barrison.

Good.

Here we are today sharing what I would call a massively significant moment for this organization.

Massively significant moment.

He wasn't asked a question.

That wasn't someone writing a column.

That was an opening statement from the team caller.

He was practically pumping it up with a bike pump right there on the freaking podium.

There's certainly cases where the media gets ahead of himself, themselves with a young

player.

And the Celtics like that's inherent in the Celtics experience.

And I guess that happens sometimes.

But not on Christian Campbell.

Would you stop it?

No, that was on them.

Please show that guy down our throats, Dean and Shoesbury, go ahead, Dean.

If Patino was a jerk, but he's not at fault for trading, Tom, see, billups or Joe Johnson,

you should hear what Tom, see, billups have to say about it.

He says, Patino said to him, you're still going to be a great player, but there's a

mandate from ownership to make the playoff.

So that was short-sighted by ownership a couple of different times.

So you believe patino, Dean, you believe patino on that one?

Hey, patino's lion.

Yeah.

I believe concy billups, concy billups is the one who said it, not you know, you're saying

chancy billups said patino told him, right?

And patino lied.

Yeah.

And I believe I believe patino because he always wanted to

develop a young team.

Now he had Paul Pierce and concy billups, two Hall of Famers, go dancing and dance one

walker, two all stars and Ron Mercer mixed man and Gaston made him trade him.

And yeah, I don't believe it.

So he says he believes patino because patino always wanted to build a young team.

I don't believe patino because patino always wanted to lie.

My answer is no, but whatever patino said to chancy billups, he lied to chancy billups.

David and proctor go ahead, David.

Hey, what's going on guys?

I was going to call on Wednesday when you're talking about the streaming services in

the, you know, you talked about about great, the team was going to be all year.

So I'm like, I'll take a chance and watch the Red Sox.

I had dealt with the Nesson 360 Wednesday night.

I couldn't figure it out.

I got a guy's like, yeah, do this and that.

I was able to watch the Bruins who I haven't seen since milk Schmidt was on the team.

And uh, watch the Red Sox yesterday every time the inning ended about 80% of the game,

I had to shut the app off, go back to the home page and then reopen it to watch it.

I'm like, this is stupid.

The apps sucks.

The app is always sucks.

One more is here to say the net.

The app blows.

It's the biggest gouge going.

You know why they called three, a Nesson 360 Murray mass figured it out because that's

what it costs.

If you're a month, a month, a cost you $360.

And the team is laughing at you.

They put it in the title to basically mock you and we don't even know we're being mocked.

Not only did they send you away spinning in circles, they charge you for every degree

of that spin back to 60 back to cause on a gender free Friday after this.

Hey, it's so, it's shaking things up a bit.

No formal intro?

Let's see what Carla from Auburn has to say.

The biggest thing that I received out of this Awaken 180 program was that I was able to

get a best friend and when I say that, I mean the person that I look to in the mirror

every morning, I would walk by the mirror and not look.

Now the Awaken 180 program has given me the ability to look in the mirror, smile and

actually enjoy and appreciate the person I am.

I went from, you know, 301 down to 213.

I've lost 84 pounds with Awaken 180.

84 pounds.

And Carla did it just under four months and those results, buddy.

Are the results you'll get with Awaken 180?

Do what Carla did?

What I did?

Greg Bedard, Dr. Laura Carmen, and everybody else has done it.

Get back to liking the person you see in the mirror and choose Awaken 180, weight

loss.

Online at Awaken 180, weightloss.com.

Joe Haggity here, between the car, the ranks, two kids in hockey, and covering hockey myself,

my schedule is absolute chaos.

But a few weeks into Awaken 180, I'm down 20 pounds, Awaken 180, weightloss.com.

Catch your challenge.

We'll see.

First one.

Don't walk off the field.

Off they go.

Got it right.

Two strikeouts in the inning.

Yeah, the three, two pitch.

The runner can go a two now.

My are taking off.

And that's in it for strike three.

Well, they want to challenge it.

This is a better challenge.

Yeah.

Pretty good.

One remaining challenge.

So it goes Roman's way.

The call is overturned.

That means it's ball four.

I'll tell it like it is.

I am opposed to replay.

I'm opposed to ABS.

But it worked yesterday.

It worked.

It didn't come up the game.

It got the calls right.

And it contributed heavily to a Red Sox victory.

I get why you come out today feeling good about it.

I just will again caution you.

I'm just waiting to see how you feel about it when you're on the other side of it.

That the fastball at the knees gets challenged and called a ball.

Because the kid measured five foot ten and a half in spring training.

And there's just a digital box behind the plate.

And you're not calling the balls and strikes based on where it crosses his knees or his letters

or his armpits or anything like that.

And that's going to be a challenge for the umpires.

They used to call it the knees or the blooders.

Now it's not that.

It's a predetermined box based on the guy's height.

Right.

And I don't know if I'm being measured.

This is interesting.

I read this.

And again, if you don't know this,

that the ABS box is based off your height and not your stance.

And they measured players in the spring.

Every player's height was measured during spring training.

I'm reading from ESPN.com.

Each player's height was measured during spring training specifically for ABS.

How detailed was the process?

The league was particular about taking measurements in the morning.

As studies have shown, people lose height throughout the day.

Huh.

So they want the strikes to want to be a little bit bigger.

People lose height throughout the course of the day.

So we're shrinking a little bit every single day?

You spent like you spend the whole day like, I mean, I'm proof.

Matt shrinks as the day goes on.

Definitely.

I was like, you're so overwrought.

You're like, oh, God.

So by 2032, I can put you in my hand.

Pretty much.

A little pocket size man.

Pretty much.

I'll be like Nelson De La Rosa.

But it's just over the course of the day.

You're shorter than when you woke up.

Oh, yeah.

No, no question.

The new measure to see me.

I was six to this morning.

The new measurements are based on a player's height.

Not anything to do with their stance.

In practice, those with upright stances.

Think Cody Belinger could have some pitches overturned in their favor.

Whereas the opposite is true for those with a pronounced crouch.

Pete Rose.

Remember how sure.

Yeah, he was waiting.

He was trying to cheese.

He was just trying to cheese walks.

The rat Ricky Henderson used to do that too.

So, you know, okay.

So did the miss the call.

Yeah, he missed the call based on how they have the strike box now in the strike zone.

But he didn't miss the call in the traditional sense.

If the guy's in a little bit of a crouch and he called it the letters.

Or crossing the knees, but he's he's got a exaggerated stance.

Okay.

I don't need it.

I don't need ABS.

We talk about problems in the game.

The calling balls and strikes me was not a problem with the game.

It did not bother me as a fan.

That some unsaid low strike zones or high strike zones are somewhere inconsistent.

I just did.

I didn't think it was a problem in the game.

And I do think it interrupts the flow.

But again, I'm fair.

So I'm telling you, it didn't impact time of game.

Yesterday's Red Sox game was 231.

The average time of game yesterday.

I think was 227.

So it didn't slow down these games.

No, no.

And by the way, I love 227.

To me, that's like.

That's the perfect.

That's the total difference.

And Mike just said not to good on that road.

The point you're making, like when you really think about it.

What's to say the machine was right.

In other words, so how do we know that the umpire wasn't actually right based on what you just told us?

Let me just correct us.

227 was the time of the Yankees.

Giant.

Giant's game.

My baseball reference had not updated when I looked at that this morning.

It has sense updated.

The 12 game so far in Major League Baseball averaged 246.

That's up.

Thank you.

This feeds my agenda.

This is up.

Last year they averaged 238.

The year before 236.

The year before 239.

The three years with the pitch clock 239.

236.

238.

These are for nine inning games.

You know, which was down from over was 306.

The year before they put average nine out average nine inning game was 306.

What a combination that is.

That's brutal.

So with the pitch clock it went from 306 to 242.

238.

240.

Yesterday ballooned right back up to 246.

I'm sorry.

It's the ABS.

10, 15 seconds at a time.

Chip, chip, chip, chip.

It's just going to chip away at the pace that they had reestablished in this game.

For what?

0.9 of an inch.

That was at Rowan Anthony.

That's missing a ball strike call by 0.9 of an inch is not a blown call.

It's called a game of inches, right?

Yeah.

I'm not arguing with you.

Sometimes you get the call.

Sometimes you don't.

I don't need this.

But anyway, Murray, you disagree.

I do.

You know, what separates, you know, a pitcher like Garakrochet to who did the red start yesterday

Andrew Abbott.

Yeah.

Is that a guy like Garakrochet can take advantage of a half of an inch inside the strike zone

and be that pinpoint with his pitches.

Whereas a guy like Abbott or a hack like Brian Beo.

Sometimes these guys benefit from shaky calls from umpires.

These umpires know the strike zone or they should as well as the good pitcher does.

So get it right.

That's all.

And there should be checks and balances for this.

And it goes quick.

I like it.

I have no issue with it whatsoever.

Or already up eight minutes per game on average.

Short sample.

But this is why I like opening day.

Uh, let's see what that time of game is.

It has to be ABS.

There weren't any uh, I don't think there was any extra inning games yesterday.

Uh, so let's.

Met's pirates was a mess because the center field or was a butcher.

I mean, that first.

Oh, yeah.

Well, yesterday's RedSize game was uh, uh, bogged down by a uh,

traditional replay challenge in the first inning.

That play at first base took way too long.

Yeah, it did take too long.

Yeah.

Uh, so that's still a problem.

I'm against replay in all forms.

I'm against any proliferation of replay.

And I'm against ABS.

I don't need it.

And I don't need these game times creeping back up because we're just jerking around

with half inches here and there.

No, I thought you used to believe Murray that replay should be there to change

the obvious mistake that determines the outcome of games.

Not half an inch off the plate in the second inning of an April baseball game.

Murray, what was that phrase you used?

Yeah, I know.

Critical uh, yeah, we know what you're saying, but that.

Yeah.

Replace should only be used for critical calls in critical moments basically.

Right.

Yeah.

But now that it's been implemented, again, it moves quickly for me.

So I have no problem with it.

If it took longer, I could, I could see the frustration with it.

But it's a tap on the helmet.

They quickly look bang bang boom.

It's fixed.

And you're going to find that.

Well, here, here's some numbers yesterday teams had a 61.3% success rate.

So umpires were wrong 61.3% of the time.

The data shows though, overall, that deciding when to challenge is often a tougher decision

than fans might think.

In 2026 spring training, spring, spring training games.

Only 53% of the 1800 challenges were successful.

And only 45% of the batter initiated challenges worked compared with 60% for the defense.

So I think that's catcher or pitcher.

Right.

Overall, they're an average of 4.32 challenges per game.

2.28 of which were successful.

So what we're going to add eight minutes to the to the ballgame.

For overturning 53 for basically a 50 50 proposition.

That doesn't improve the game for me.

Sorry.

And I can't wait.

I can't wait for the Red Sox to lose a ballgame because crochet dots the corner at the knees.

But the dude measured five foot 11 and a half and not five foot 11 in the computer spat back a ball.

And you lose because of it.

I can't wait to see how you feel about ABS after that.

It should be for, you know, look, any replay that ever used should be for clearly blown calls.

Katie, I don't think that thing was a blown call yesterday either.

I know I'm not going to fight you on that one.

But the one thing that doesn't add up if there are only four challenges a game.

And the game went up eight minutes.

This was in spring training.

They were using data from spring training.

Okay.

But then that suggests that each challenge took two minutes and they're less than that.

Again, man, I don't have the time of game from the spring.

Oh, I see.

Those numbers I gave you were from spring training.

I gotcha.

This was a story written going into the regular season based on 1,844 challenges in spring training.

Only 53% were overturned.

Only 45% were overturned when the batter initiated the challenge.

Overall, there was an average of 4.32 challenges per game in the spring.

2.28 of which were successful.

So I guess I'm applying that to the.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotcha.

I was taking the apply that to yesterday.

All I'm saying is you're going to find yesterday.

Again, the challenges were successful 61.3% of the time.

That number is going to go down.

It's going to be closer to 50.50 when it's all said and done.

And now we're going to sit around here, tap in our helmets and playing with ourselves for eight extra minutes for a 50.50 call.

And it's going to amount to nothing.

So I would love to see what the success rate was in the minor leagues.

Does it say there?

It doesn't have it.

It's got to be around 50.50.

The only thing reason I'm wary about the spring training numbers is because I think guys were challenging just a challenge.

Yeah, I know.

You know, I'm not going to learn it.

Right.

Like it wasn't an earnest or honest challenge.

It was we got to see how this works.

It's just, it's just a thing in the game I don't need.

And listen, Roman Anthony, that's the exact time it should be used.

And I'm not sure that he was convinced.

You know, he acted after the game like I knew it was low.

Well, Luma Loney pointed this out on the broadcast and why'd you stand at home plate?

Right.

Why didn't you leave the batters?

Why don't you go run to first base if you were so sure?

He didn't know. They had one left. It was the top of the ninth. It was, you know,

he'd use it or lose it. And it was a key play. It was a walk or a end of the ending.

So he's a three to pitch. Yeah, three to pitch. It was either a walk or a strikeout.

And the ending was over. So use it. But he didn't know. He's acting like he knew this

point nine of an inch. He didn't know. If he knew, he would have ran to first base.

So, but that was the time to use it. Crucial spot. And I get it.

I just, well, let me tap in our helmets in the third inning of some useless game in the middle

of April. Maybe that's a way to do it too. If they're going to keep it, like you can only do it

in the last three innings or something like that. And Murray, common sense for critical calls.

That's what it is. Thank you, man. So I couldn't remember. Yeah, common sense for critical calls.

That's what it was. Anyway, you can wait on that if you want. ABS is here for Major League

Hey, it's Owen shaking things up a bit.

No formal intro. Let's see what Carlo from Auburn has to say.

The biggest thing that I received out of this Awakened 180 program was that I was able to

get a best friend. And when I say that, I mean the person that I look to in the mirror every morning,

I would walk by the mirror and not look. Now the Awakened 180 program has given me the ability to

look in the mirror, smile, and actually enjoy and appreciate the person I am. I went from,

you know, 301 down to 213. I've lost 84 pounds with Awakened 180.

84 pounds of Carlo didn't just under four months and those results, buddy, are the results you'll

get with Awakened 180. Doing Carlo did what I did, Greg Bedard, Dr. Laura Carmen, and everybody

else has done it. Get back to liking the person you see in the mirror and choose Awakened 180.

Joe Hagerty here between the car, the ranks, two kids in hockey, and covering hockey myself. My

schedule is absolute chaos. But a few weeks into Awakened 180, I'm down 20 pounds. Awakened 180. Weightloss.com.

Periodic table of sports star. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, buddy. Sorry. We need to blow a

gas. No, no. Blow it, baby. Blow it. Bellgirt and mass. I mean, I'd say stunning, but it's not. I'll

tell you what, but I'll tell you because again, this has been his pattern. So just a couple things I

wonder about the story and then I'll get to work my real interest in it. One, it said nobody was

injured and he was involved in a crash. Does that mean his car didn't roll over and another car

did? Like I would like to know more about that and just said he involved in a roll over crash. Nobody

was injured. So were there two cars? Like that's I would like to know a little more in the details.

Secondly, you know, the the other night night, I don't expect that you would follow this. Not a

lot of people do, but they had the indoor golf league playoffs the other night. Tiger Woods played

for the first time. Did you know that? I I mean, I just because I watched sports on it. Okay,

well, same with me. That's that's where I heard it that he was going to play and they were kind of

hype in the crap out of it. So I started to get, you know, optimistic or enthused about the idea

that he could play in the Masters. So, you know, now I look at it and say, well, that sucks because

I enjoy watching him play. If in nothing else anymore, the Masters, I think in the Masters, he would

have they actually have a chance. He obviously wanted once a post, you know, peak of his career.

And so I was I hope this doesn't take him out of that because I would like to see him play in the

event selfishly. I would. What I think about is just how much of a past is guy gets.

He might have a drug problem like and it's been kind of staring people in the face for a long time

and no one really covers it or mentions it. So I'm just reading from the ESPN story. Tiger Woods

was involved in a rollover crash in Jupiter, Florida on Friday, according to the Martin County Sheriff's

Office. No details about the cause of the crash or Woods' condition were immediately released by

the sheriff's office. Police are investigating and a sheriff is scheduled to speak with reporters at

five o'clock crash occurred just after 2 p.m. And happened in the same time where Woods lives,

a photo from the scene showed the vehicle lying on the driver's side. So that implies it was just

because then the story on ESPN says Woods has been working towards a return to competitive golf

after rupturing Achilles tendon marks at 2025. On and on about playing the TGL finals the other

thing. Yeah. Then it has a paragraph in February 2021 Woods suffered significant leg injuries in

a one car crash in Southern California in which the vehicle rolled several times and left him trapped

in the car. He later had surgery to deal with open fractures to his lower leg. He had a ride

placed in a in his tibia and had screws and pins inserted, etc. He had at least one more

surgery related to injuries from the crash in April 2020, 2023 period paragraph and a story.

No mention of the 2017 DUI arrest where his car was idling in the middle of the road.

And he looked out to lunch with those photos after that. And he was passed out, passed a breathalyzer

because he wasn't drinking. But toxicology reports showed five different drugs that were traced

in his system. Hydrocodone, which is what? That's right. Opiate pain magic. So hydrocodone, hydro

morphone, a lap, I can't pronounce these five different drugs were found in his system. He

was out in space. Totally. There's passed out in the car. So now he's hooked on painkiller. So he's

got like this track record of these car, you know, incidents. It's really not hard to draw a line

or at least bring it up. And no one brings this guy gets a total pass when it comes to this.

So the story you just read, I read just a little blurb from one of the TV stations in Florida

that did not have the details you did about the car being on the side. And there's no mention of

a second car. No, but they're calling it a minor incident, but a rollover doesn't feel like a

quote unquote minor incident. I would agree. Either the man simply cannot drive a vehicle.

Or he's got his serious problems. Yeah. But no one does the second thing when it comes to

Tiger Woods. He gets a complete pass. Back to your calls on everything. Here's Andrew and Rhode

Island. Go ahead, Andrew. So I just feel like you're a little wrong on ABS. I know you're old and

it's the change is a little hard, but it's just a part of the game. I said, I don't need it.

It's a personal opinion. I don't need it. I personally, for my enjoyment of the game,

don't need ABS. That's not right or wrong. That's just a personal opinion. You feel like you do need it.

Doesn't it feel like a little good to walk away from the big, that game and say, yeah,

they got that right. And I get that it's going to go wrong in the future and we'll definitely

be upset about it. But there's no, no more CD Buckner, no lady umpire blowing a call down the

middle. It turns into a big moment because you can change the game. Did you say lady umpire?

Yes, the lady umpire blew the call right down the line. Why do you got to go there with the lady

umpire? Well, how do you got to do that? I mean, there was that overlay. I sent to you guys.

And CB Buckner wasn't he at first base yesterday? Who was at first base yesterday? I didn't even

look at the umpires yesterday. I thought my question him would be, how do you know that the machine

got it right? All I'm saying is I don't need the machine to call a ball on the corner. I'm okay

with the ump being a half an inch off. It doesn't that, but that's a personal opinion. That's not

right or wrong. If you feel you need it, you need it. Good for you. I don't need it.

0.9 of an inch on that Roman Anthony call. Like I just, but from the story you read too, you said

everything was done early in spring training and in the morning, what guy standing straight up?

Yeah. So how has that inaccurate strike zone then during the game when they're in a stance?

Right. So it's the strike zone has changed. And I think the umpires deserve a little bit of

leeway for growing up their entire lives and their entire professional career is calling a strike at

the knees. It's no longer necessarily a strike at the knees. It's wherever they measured the kid

with some morning in spring training. And now it's like an arbitrary line. It's not at the

knees. It's where his knees would be if he's standing straight up. Or whatever that measurement is.

It's not where his knees are at the time. The ball crosses the, you know, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah. No, I know exactly what you're saying. And look at a whole different thing. So when they

put this thing in, right, I told you, I watched the system, uh, you know, at work in the minor leagues

a few years ago. And I thought it was quick. So I got, oh, I like it. But the more we get into it,

I do look at it and say, well, wait a minute. We're talking about that much that the that the

pitch missed by that much. And now you're telling me that the machine is going on measurements that

were taken in spring training that are not the same as a guy stands. Right. Yeah. Then why should

I believe that that is right? Because we just have to believe everything. The machine spits back

at us because that's how the young people operate. It's just all put it in the machine. I mean,

so it's like really like that everyone's need for an absolute on something is ridiculous. And

which I think is what you said in the past or what you're getting at. Yeah, I think why does

everything happen? Why is there no gray area anymore about anything? Or the, you know, the thing

about where we should get it all right. Do we think we know sports was never meant to be that.

It's not you're not supposed to get everything right. Like that's just the way it works,

especially in sports. And there's too many, by the way, I know it sounds like it's nothing,

only two per team. But if you get it right, you get to keep going. So there's going to be at least

for a game. Yeah, someone's going to have to be the hot hand at the blackjack table. And if you

get it right, you just keep going. It's like crap. Draft Kings is going to make a fortune on these.

The lightning round brought to you by Blue Sky Restoration Contractors. Indeed,

spring weather here in New England. It can be unpredictable, but your restoration partner

shouldn't be our guys at Blue Sky are always ready to respond 24 seven, and they take care of

everything from beginning to end. So visit Go Blue Sky B-L-U-S-K-Y. Go Blue Sky.com. No, E,

Tom and Quincy. What do you got, Tommy? Hey, what's going on guys? Hey, I, I knew going in

the season at the Sox. I'm going to have to win these low scoring games, and it's I understand

it's three zero with crochet in the mound. They're going to have to win games like that. I don't

know what they're going to do in the rest of the rotation stats. My big concern is finding out that

we shrink during the day because I grow up it. I wake up at 5.8. I do not have inches to give away

throughout the course of the day. That's the most concerned thing I have going on right now.

We apparently shrink over the course of the day, which is why they measured these ball players

in the morning during spring training. How about that one? Is that circumcised in the mosquito

or what? You know what? I'm going to start measuring my height for my license every morning.

Noonan here is in the car on the light. I don't know about you, but I'm not sure every

thing that you're doing. Go ahead, Noonan. Thank you. How you doing? Hello, boys. So,

hey, quick question. Scotty Sheppler withdrew from the Houston Open because his wife's

supposed to have a baby. Hasn't had the baby yet. Secondly, how do you guys feel about people

who don't return their shopping cart at the grocery store parking lot? Thanks for hanging out.

Okay, that second thing I would return the cart if you could. The Sheppler missing time,

I don't know what you want me to say on that one. I'm with you. I'd maybe you're asking the old

me. The old me would say that you could try and balance your professional and personal life and

still work and have a kid and do it right by everybody, but that's the old me. Alex Korra set me

straight. I've told you this now for a year. Alex Korra is right. This is just a job.

You know, if the people who rely, if you work, you people screw you. It's about my time off.

And it's about, well, I'm the only one on earth who's having a baby. So, I'm going to take

the two full months. Now, so I'm with you folks. Like, listen, I've completely reformed.

Say Scotty should take all the time that he needs, but this is another another example that no

one's ever catching Jack ever, because no one has the mentality to do it. Well, so I was just

going to say though, in the case of Sheffler, if I were him, I would have scheduled it for a C section

this week, because they're in Texas playing a couple of S bum tournaments and that a lot of guys

have dropped out of and the master's isn't a couple of weeks. So I think, you know, he lucked out

actually because otherwise of me, my guess is he wouldn't have missed the master's if his wife had

the baby then. Although you do never know, say what you will about Tiger Woods. He was a nut about

winning. And his personal problems got in the way. You know, it's a part of the story that's just

not said or covered, but that's what happened. He had a chance to catch Nicholas, but he's a

mess personally and it got in the way, but he was a nut about winning. No one is, no one is

anymore. It's not going to happen. That's it. Sheffler's definitely not that guy. I mean, not even

close. No, he sort of adamant about the other thing. Yeah, he is. And look, I wonder if in his case,

it's part of the reason he, you know, he plays so well, like he just doesn't give a crap. I think

in some ways that can help you letting around is brought to by Blue Sky Restoration Contractors,

Bob and on set. Yes, Bob, what do you got? Yeah, guys, I was just curious what you guys thought

about myself. I'm not being in the set and line up on opening day wouldn't you think the future is

there in Roman Anthony. So I just wanted to see what you guys thought about Maya not being in

the city. I K. S. It bothers me, but Matt's not so much. No, again, I would tell you that I think he

needs I just don't want his difficulty against left handed pitching to start affecting the rest of

his game. That's all. And I don't think he's there yet where he can block it out. The kid likes

video games for crying out a lot of he's not taking balls. That makes it different. Well, but it might

be worse with him. He might have like a kind of Murray kind of situation. What if he signed the

contract that the Red Sox had put in front of. Okay, so they care about the video games. Well,

no, so listen, I agree with you on that part of it, but I also I'm not sure that they've approached him.

Oh, you don't think? I don't know. I've heard different things on this. Really? Yeah. Well,

I think the kids are flat out stud and he's going to be good, really good. And he should be playing

every day is what I think. The lightning rod is brought to by blue sky restoration contractors,

masses, tears, prospects, hyped prospects who didn't pan out. Paul and Marilyn, what did we miss?

To stop provoking controversial picks here, Scott Cooper, third base Boston Red Sox,

the Red Sox traded Jeff Bagwell, keeping Scott Cooper. He was mediocre, made a couple of

all star games only because MoVon couldn't get in with the ale having so many first baseman.

And then I would throw out the Patriots 2024 NFL draft. I love Drake May. He's awesome,

but every other pick's dunk. I agree, but too early to call those picks that they didn't live

up to the hype. And I'm not sure Cooper ever had really had height. Scott Cooper, yeah.

So not quite. No, you know, Bagwell didn't have a lot of hype when they traded them. It changed

to all change when he gets a Houston. But, you know, I neither one of them I think at that time,

you know, there might have been something else going on with Bagwell if you want to clear your

throat now. Really? Yeah, please. Yes, once he got to Houston, what happened there? So, but

there was neither one of those guys I think were looked as ads like, you know, franchise players.

Ryan and Adelbro go. Bethel Johnson of the Pats. And I got a two for Dave Murphy and Brandon Moss.

They never did anything when they were actually with the Red Sox. I'd decent and would be careers,

but they were, they were the next great outfielder, Ellsbury, Moss and Dave Murphy.

Okay, Missedop, you Bethel Johnson was never hyped. He was drafted relatively high second round,

I want to say, but he didn't come in with a lot of hype. Yeah, no one expected him to immediately pop.

And he didn't. The murphy. David Murphy. I remember a little bit. He was a first round pick. I think

I'll double check where he went number 17 overall. There was some hype around him a little bit

because he was a first round pick, but not like, you know, not like you would say that again.

Matt Merton, the Elfielder, him and we're the same guy, right?

That's a, that's not a bad comp in terms of the hype. They got it. He wasn't off the charts.

Lightning round brought to my blue sky restoration contractors visit Go Blue Sky. No,

E go blue sky dot com. Nico in the car. Quick.

All right, real quick. Sneaky tier three from now to tears. Remember that video ablaze Jordan.

Went in the high school home run Derby and how everyone kind of freaked out saying he was the

next big thing. And now for some reason he's in St. Louis. I'll give you plays Jordan more than

maybe some of these other guys. The name itself. Yeah, there was a little bit of hype with that.

There was was it deserved or was it just the name? Yeah, cool name. Cool name and a couple of clips.

So I think in the future, I know it's a gender free Friday. We need to put like a statute of

limitations on when people continue to call with tears. So if it's not by the end of the day,

Thursday, you're not getting in. It's thus enacted.

Thus it is. It is so decreed. No more tears calls. Please on Fridays. Paul in Foxboro.

General on a lightning round here. Paul, what do you got?

Hey guys, thanks for taking my call. I don't know if you're aware that Long Island vodka is actually

suing the live tour for copyright infringement because the live tour is actually trying to promote

alcohol and drinks, branding themselves as to live this live alcohol. This and that.

My question is for you, wasn't the live tour initially called the 54 and it was Roman numerals

which are the quate to birding 18 holes. And when it became the Americans got involved,

people started calling it live rather than the 54. So I'm just curious, like,

is the repercussions they're going to have to rebrand? Or am I wrong that it was never the 54?

Was it always the same? I know this is a gender free Friday. I have no earthly idea. What the hell

you are talking about? Okay, so I don't know about the lawsuit, but the live. It was initially the

Roman numeral 54 LIV. I don't think it anything to do with 54 birdies. It had to do with the fact

that there were playing three rounds instead of four. But I never heard anyone call it the 54

tour. No, mean either. Well, people just sort of, you know, went to live because they were

used to. That's why they call it live. Yeah, LIV 54 holes. It was appealing to the PGA guys

because they play 72. So, you know, we reduced it to three rounds instead of four. They made it

more player friendly. That was the whole gimmick behind it. Andrew and Haver in a lightning round

of fashion on ABS. Go ahead, Andrew. Hey, I'm not against the ABS system. Here's my question,

what the way they're measuring these guys? What happens when the computer loads up the wrong

batter line up? And then everybody's measurements are all screwed up. Yeah, there's going to be glitches.

There's always F and glitches with this. That's good. Sinan Rafiela gets Roman Anthony's strike zone.

That's a good one. But let me ask you, ma'am. Should that be the way that you do a strike zone?

You know, first thing in the morning when you're taller, you know, I'm making a face like I didn't

know that was a thing. Standing straight up. No, that's a bigger strike zone than it should be. So

it's going to benefit when you get in your car. I mean, you're naturally like Mike, I'll be honest

with you. Okay, I thought it was going to be that the strike zone is decided when you set in the box.

I thought the technology was such that as you get in the box, they know where the armpits are.

They know where the knees are and it goes from there. It makes the read on its own. It's predetermined.

If it's predetermined, what the hell is that? What is that? That's ridiculous. It's technology and

the insatiable demand from young people to put everything on your phone and in a computer.

That's what that is. Oh my gosh, that's ridiculous. So again, I thought it was going to react

to where you were. Like, I don't see why they can't do it that way. Why? When you get in the box,

it can identify where the strike zone is based on your physique. Yeah, it's just not the way it works.

Asinine. I hate the way they set it up. Okay, Blue Sky Restoration Contractors brought you the

lightning round back to your calls in a more normal pace at six and no more tears and masses right

on that. No more tears. Six, one, seven, seven, seven, seven, nine, zero, nine, eight, five,

open lines. You can fill them up and we'll go right back to you after Mary's 90 second update.
