How MLB Rule Changes Are Transforming Baseball Broadcasts

What did you think, you know, watching, haven't watched this series from game one, Greg, and now watching, especially last night in the extra inning and the ability where the challenge resets every inning, whether you're right or wrong reset. I, all I remember is the, you know, the old school baseball guys going, this is the worst thing you're ruining the game of baseball. This is not, this is, you're so unnatural. You can't just, I gotta tell you, I, it brings another level. level to watching these games and they've done a really good job on the broadcast because the guys aren't tipping it they're letting you see it and then they talk about what's going on which i think is uh is interesting but i'm wondering when do the guys in the booth know what the result do they see it in real time or are they holding off until until the graphic shows up no no they're not yeah no i'm part of the broadcast so i can tell you that you have a really you have a really good indication sitting at home like everybody else does watching pitch tracks now really we get yeah we get access to uh the uh what's called the major league baseball research tool so that's not something that the public has access to i have access to that and everybody involved in baseball has access to that and that gives us a little a little bit more of an indication as to where the ball landed and whether or not it's a ball it's a strike but the the definitive answer is coming from that board at the game that that's where it's coming from do we do we have a we have a little bit more insight do we have a better guess than than uh the people at home yes yes that is the case but you know to your point and this is why look no one ever likes a commissioner joe no one likes Silver no one likes Stern no one likes Manfred no one likes Seelig no one likes anybody but but Rob Manfred i mean i don't know what his legacy is going to be in the end and certainly if there's a long lockout or and something that could change it but when you think about it joe like you you may do a show in two days and go oh that's rob manfred but think about what he did he get he the bases made more stolen bases right we got more stolen bases out of it everyone didn't want that he eliminated the shift which created more hits there put the pitch clock in no one wanted that it's the best thing ever uh the ABS system that has absolutely worked and listen i know it doesn't sound like joe you like the ghost runner i love the ghost runner by the way i hated it when it first started i will tell you something else as part of the new CBA with the players i can assure you that at some point we're going to get the ghost runner and play off baseball now i i don't think it's in the 10th inning but i don't think you're going to see a lot of games go 12 innings anymore without using the ghost runner i think it's coming Thank you.
