 Hi, everyone. Joe for Jaspy's casebrace.com, coming at you with a full case of 2023 Bowman Baseball. This is Jumbo edition, random player break, number one. One spot gets you four comboed up players. All right, so there are the players plus combos right here. So it's a giant list, right, but includes all of the players on the checklist. Now, if you bought one of the first 28 spots in the break, you got a chance to win an extra spot. That's our first dice roll. Second dice roll will be your names and player names, and we'll have a trade window as well. So big thanks to the first 28 right there for getting in on it. Thanks to the others who bought spots straight up. Congrats to the people who won spots right there for a total of 43 spots. Let's do this dice roll first. So name on top. After six, we'll get an extra spot, five and a one. One, two, three, four, five, and a one, six and final time. Jeremy Short, there you go. JS, after six, with an extra spot going your way. So thanks for being an early bird. There's an extra spot. Now, let me multiply these 43 spots by four. So there's one already. There's two, three, and four. So that's 172 total. So now let's get everybody's names here, put them into a clean list, and let's gather all the players and put them into this other list. And we'll put the results of that in the first tab. Now, let's randomize names and players three and a two, five times. One, two, three, four, and five. And five. Got Jacob down to Jacob. Three and a two, five times for the players. One, two, three, four, and five. So after five, we got Angel Janal, down to the Luis Ravelo combo. These are way too many names for me to read out, but I'll show you the list as is, and then I'll alphabetize by your first name so you can see all of your players grouped together. But I just wanna show you the list as is just for the video. Have that on wax. All right, there's your entire list right there. Great. So look at that, Matthew Nielsen with the Drew Jones spot. Very nice, Matthew. Good luck. So let's sort now by column A, and then you can see all of your players grouped together. Aaron, Barry, Brad, Brian, Craig, Darren, David, David M, Ed P, Eric Houston. I think Eric was here earlier with the spot that you won. Got that Spencer Jones spot. Gabe P, Jacob, Jason, Jason Cox, Jason Fractor, two different Jason's than Jay. Jeremy and your early bird spots. Jim Way, Jose with the spot that you won and your last spot, Mojo. Got Mark, got Matt, there's Matthew Nielsen, there's that Drew Jones spot right there. Michael and one of my favorite beers, Cifico. Mickey, Neal, Nicole, Oliver with the spot that you won. Got Mr. Rob Hepler here, the Hepcat. Robert, Ryan, Scottie, Scott G, Steven. And last but not least, Tristan. There you go, we're gonna pause the video. We're gonna open up the trade window. When we come back, we'll see if there's any trades. Then we'll have the break, stick around, be right back. All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. No deals were done, so the list that you saw remains the same. Now, for those of you watching live, I've shared the link to this spreadsheet in the chat. So you'll be able to go directly to this list and just keep track of your players right there. I know we just wanna put the final printout on wax, on tape, on the record, on video, as they say. And there's everybody right here. All right, now let's pop open this case. Let's see what we got, random player break. Yeah, let's have some fun, Mick. Let's see what we got in here. Oh, what happened here? Oh, did I hit it with the case, maybe? And here we go. What's up, Rex? Did I hear, I did not see your question about Ken Golden. There's a Ken Golden Netflix show? That's right, Joe Pizzle. A little random player break with some Bowman. Yeah, you missed it. It's been here, it's been, we've offered that since last Wednesday, I wanna say. Whatever the new release day of this was last Wednesday. It was on the site. It was the Lebron Logo Man, the one I pulled. No? Well, I pulled the one that was from like 2019, 2020 Immaculate Basketball, Logo Man only. And I don't think that was sold through Golden, so I don't think they're gonna highlight that one. I think it went through Leland instead. What's the Ken Golden thing on Netflix? What's that about? All right, so first off, all card ship, except for these vet comments, unless they're numbered, obviously. All right, rookie cards will ship. There may be some, obviously, this is gonna ship Juan Soto to 2.99. Now there may be, obviously, that's gonna ship, but prospect non-first won't ship either. So Spencer Jones is a key player. Who's got Spencer Jones? That's gonna be for Eric Houston with the Spencer Jones. Supposedly a card and memorabilia show. Both produced it. All right, our first autograph is Caden Dana. Caden Dana is gonna go to Jose with the Caden Dana and Kodai Senya spot. Is that what Teddy said, Eric, that he was cramping up? He's standing. A little bit healthier for him. Cam Collier is the guy that we're looking out for as well. That's gonna be for Jose as well. Has the Cam Collier, Eric Brown Jr. combo. Think Manning should have a sketch comedy show? Yeah, maybe. I think they're doing fine with all that advertising money they're getting. I don't think they need to do a sketch comedy show. It's a hassle. You gotta find writers, you gotta find, you know, doing all that. I think they'd rather just get paid by ESPN just to go around and do goofy stuff. I mean, that's a sketch comedy show in and of itself. There's Jet Williams at 399. I think if you watch Peyton's Places on ESPN and Eli's Places, those are pretty hilarious. Those are pretty funny. I think that's where they shine. And they bring out athletes to host. I think we're already getting that Rex on ESPN Plus. And I think they get so much money for the advertising they do. I mean, I think they're kind of at a position where they can do sketch comedy, Rex, in ads where they're getting paid tons of money, much more than they would ever get for doing their own sketch card show. Sketch, sketch card? Sketch comedy show. So I think they've gotten to that unique sort of level. Here is Tommy Speck. Who do I got for the tomorrow night for the Sons or Nuggets? Sons. Ryan Gamsby has Tommy Speck. I do. I mean, Sons are too good. I know the Nuggets are good. But I think that's got to be a seven game series. You know, you don't think the Sons can make the, they're definitely going to make the adjustments. You know, he's going to have to step up. DeAndre Aidan's going to have to step up. You know, they're telling him, big man, you got to go to work. You got to put a body on that, on Yokeitch. You know, like listen, Durant, Devin Booker, they're going to shoot the lights out, but someone's got to slow, but they can't slow down. You know, they can't slow down Yokeitch. You know, I mean, we're doing our best to stop Jamal Murray. So they'll adjust, they'll adjust. Should have one more autograph out of here, right? We only have two, should have three. On average, that's how they get you. All right, next box. Right. Also, you got to think Jamal Murray couldn't miss last night. That is correct. What did he, let me just pull up these 10. I mean, what did he shoot yesterday? I mean, Jamal Murray went 13 for 24 from the field. What is that? Six of 10 from three. He's shooting 60% from three. Like, do you think that's going to happen again? If it does, I mean, that's on the suns at this point. Game one, sure. You know, you can be like, all right, that's what they're going to do, huh? Suns a little dry. The problem is, suns did kind of, that's going to happen here and there, I feel it. Suns for Durant traded a lot of, a lot of that defensive depth away, but DeAndre Aiden cannot have a plus minus of minus 21, Pizzle. He's got it, he's got, he's the only one that could, that could put it, put a body on Yolkage. And he's got a score over Yolkage too. 14 points, seven rebounds. That's not enough, zero, zero blocks. Tom is asking if I, did I buy Contender's Optic Figure D4? No, I did not. It sold out though, we did that break already. Take a look at the schedule, you'll see when we did it. Take a look at our video list. I see it uploaded already. Remember ladies and gentlemen, the schedule will tell you everything we've done previously for the day. What we're doing currently, and what we're gonna do later on. So you're never in the dark. All right, that's gonna be tricky. Doubling Yolkage is rough because the nuggets, they're full of shooters. All right, there is Purple Chrome, Shay Whitcomb. Astros Prospect going two. That'll be for Matthew Nielsen with the Whitcomb Jr. plus Ronald Acuna Jr. combo. There's another Spencer Jones bowman first. Spencer Jones, Chrome. And then a green paper to 399 Colby Thomas. Colby Thomas. Joe Pizzle and other basketball fans like Scott maybe. Who do you have in Lakers Warriors? I think the Lakers may have a bit of a size advantage on the Warriors and I think that's gonna be helpful. That's gotta be six or seven games. Oh, and a Spencer Jones Chrome Prospect autograph redemption. That's Eric Houston, I believe. Spencer Jones, Eric Houston with the spot that you won. Nice. There you go, Eric. You're welcome, man. Thanks for getting to that filler. Thanks for giving that a shot. I know I tell everybody, listen, don't do the fillers. They're a waste of money. Buy your team straight up. Buy your spot straight up. But stuff like this happens and I can see why the filler's gonna be attractive. Rex is, Rex, I can't believe you won't ask me my predictions for that game. Rex, I wouldn't ask you for predictions on most things. I'm definitely not basketball. We've got yellow paper Von Grissom to 75. All right, well, you know what, Rex? Let's give you a fair shake. Rex, what do you think? Who do you have in the Lakers Warriors series? How many games do you think is gonna go? What do you think are a couple keys to the games that'll mean success for each team? What does each team have to do to win that series? Let's hear it. And our third auto is Johan Hel Aponte. 96 out of 4, 99. And that will be for Ed P. You have the Johan Hel, Seiya Suzuki, and Matt Olson combo. Four or two Lakers, I'll take that. Lakers are too hot. Gilo is saying LeBron thrives on Bear Pokers and the Warriors don't got that unless Tramon slips up. There's a good chance Tramon could slip up. Oliver has dubs in five. Honestly, if I had to go out, you'd have to say Warriors in because of Curry, Lakers like to choke four or three Warriors. Yeah, they showed how much they choke in that Grizzly series, Rex. They showed how much they choke down the stretch when they were one of the hottest he has basketball. This is why we don't ask Rex his predictions. And Rex is probably just parroting what Joe Pizzle is saying about basketball. I got a Randy DeJesus to 125. Warriors in seven, says Joe Pizzle. And the problem with the, yeah, the Lakers do have a size advantage, but the Warriors, good perimeter shooters obviously, when is the understatement, but they've got great perimeter shooting. That's something the Lakers still have some trouble defending. So if the Warriors start shooting threes at will, which pulls AD away from the pain and defending the perimeter, then that's a lot of Steph Curry flying by Anthony Davis and breaking down defenses. So that's going to be a challenge for them for sure. But yeah, I mean, the key is always Anthony Davis, as always. Although I will say that if, this is a big if, what are the playoff odds now? Well, those odds must be out. If the Lakers beat the Warriors, then I think they're going to the finals. The Lakers beat the Warriors, then I think that means they're going to the finals. If, that's a good question. All I was saying, if Steph beats LeBron again, does Steph get into the goat conversation? I mean, if the Warriors knock out another championship, then absolutely. LeBron, Kevin Durant, Western Conference final? Absolutely. I would love to see that. There's Josh Hood to 4.99. That will be four. That's going to go to Ed Peep, who has the Josh Hood-Otani combo. I don't know if there's too many Otani's in here, but there could be some numbered cards of Otani or something like that. He's on the checklist. But I think we have some, just kind of putting our fan biases aside, I think we've got a pretty good set of playoff teams here, some playoff matchups to watch. I mean, what's the worst matchup we have? You know, like Sixer Celtics are going to be fun to watch. Phoenix Denver is going to be fun to watch. Lakers Warriors, I mean, I guess Miami, Nix? That's, and that's still a good series too. Is that the worst series? Not a fan of the Nix's area yet. Nix Heat, Oliver's saying. There's a Marion Boyd, it's 250, Purple Chrome. You know, and I still think that's going to be a good series too. I mean, I'd still watch it. What's the ideal Final Four? What's the ideal Eastern Conference Final matchup and Western Conference Final matchup? I'm sure the NBA and the TV networks would love to have seen Warriors, Lakers in the Western Conference Final, but I think that's, it's already happening, obviously it's happening now. But Warrior Sons, yeah, no offense at Denver, but I don't know if, I think the matchup with the most ratings, yeah, Warrior Sons has got to be to 150, Julio Rodriguez, blue paper. And we've got Pedro Ramirez. Yeah, I think the, I think LeBron and the Sons would be pretty good too, but not as good as Warrior Sons because I think, you know, the KD storyline, obviously. Pedro Ramirez, that will be for Stephen Carney, as the Pedro Ramirez-Gavin-Williams combo. Yeah, for the Kevin Durant, Golden State Warrior storyline, I think will be great. Can you imagine the words that Dreymon will have for KD during the series? I think that's going to be a lot, that would be a lot of fun. In the East, what do you think? All you're saying, Nix and Celtics. Yeah, I think that might be the best. Got a big market team in the Nix and the Celtics, and definitely want to knock out a championship with that squad. Got Kyle Harris into 499. And then what would be the best finals match above those final four teams all over? If you got Warrior Sons, Boston, Nix, you want, I mean, TV probably wants Warriors, right? Or no, has there been too much Warriors oversaturation? But maybe you need like a villain. Everyone's rooting against the Warriors because you've seen them so much and people will tune in. And we got a Ryan Clifford, the big red dog. Ryan Clifford is going to go to Jason Fracto as the Ryan Clifford-O'Neill-Cruz combo. Randall's a mess, or maybe he burned me on a parlay, says Eric Houston. Scott says, I do not include Randall on parlays anymore. Lesson learned. First Drew Jones. Script writers, Gilo saying might have LeBron back this year. Yeah, that's right. There's Miguel Blitz to 299. Oh shoot, this is almost over already. Less than 50 seconds left. Colorado down by one, empty net. Seattle could move on to the next round. Hockey. We'll do an autograph recap at the end of this too. Box four. It's funny how a parlay can sour you on a player. It's like a group break. I know when people don't do well in a popular product, they just don't do well in a number of breaks. I'm like, man, this product sucks. One parlay goes wrong and man, it's like, man, Julius Randall's done. Even though he's just went healthy, a pretty solid player. It's kind of, I don't know how much load management Julius Randall's done, but you kind of have to feel for Kauai Leonard, who has been load managed and all that. And in spite of all of their best efforts, he tears a meniscus or something like that early round of the playoffs and then that's that. Paul George bends his knee back a couple of weeks beforehand. That's that. I mean, which I think may be a good example of, hey, what's the point of load managing when you just get hurt at any time? Just gotta live your life. Just go play the game and let the chips follow where they may. I mean, can't you load manage during a game? Does Kauai have to play zero minutes? Can you not put them out there for 15, 20 minutes or so? Call that the load management? I mean, I do get the argument for load managing. You know, I think Greg Popovich kind of popularized that. But now I feel like you could argue that Pop was probably doing it for smart reasons because he's a very smart coach. And I feel like everyone's just kind of ran with it and it's kind of gotten out of control. Sort of a, if you give a mouse cookie situation, the Seattle Kraken has knocked out the Colorado Avalanche in the first round. First expansion team to win first playoff series against defending champions. I feel like there's a lot of qualifiers involved there, but nevertheless, it still stands. I don't know how many times an expansion team has gone to the playoff where they're facing the... First autograph of the box is Vaughn Brown. 58 out of 150. Going with a, what, like a van's shoe symbol right there. Maybe a little division sign if you're in elementary school. That goes to the Giants, or sorry, that goes to Vaughn Brown. Not the Giants, that's gonna be for Neal Schumann. Is that right? A lot of NHL teams actually, and Vegas went to the, I guess Vegas did go to the finals in their first day, but they didn't lose. A lot of other teams have to. I guess I feel like NHL expansion, whenever there's, they've had some expansion teams recently have been pretty generous with their expansion drafts. Is that part of the reason, Jason Jackson? All this, you know what? My tower, this might be a little surprising to some people, but I have not seen that movie. I have not seen Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Here's Alejandro Osuna, Aqua, a wave to 125. Hockey needs a three point line, says Gilo. If you're gonna give him a three point line in hockey, wait, are you awarding three goals? Gilo, that's a lot. That would have to be on the goal line, if you shoot it from the goal line on the other side, on the opposite side, you score a goal. Yeah, I don't think it's gonna work, Jason. There's Jose Ramirez, pink to 2.99, and we've got Manuel Beltre, and that will be for Jay Goins with that one. Any rule changes that should be made in hockey? I think, hockey's like soccer. I feel like, or even like baseball, there's really shouldn't be too many fundamental rule changes. I mean really the only major rule changes that have been tinkered with, I think overtime has been tinkered with a little bit, but fundamental parts of the game, there's Jay's bow into 3.99 paper. I don't know if there's been a call for any changes there. No one says hockey games take too long. So no, I don't think there's any real fundamental, you know, or pace of play changes. Is there anything like that? I don't think so. Not to my knowledge. I mean, I've been watching, every year I've been trying to watch a little more hockey every season. And as a sort of, as a casual fan, there's nothing where I'm just like, oh, that's confusing or I don't understand this or you know, like I wish there, what's more of this or that doesn't make sense or anytime I ask Jason about a question about a rule, it's always like, oh, that makes sense. There's no situation where I'm like, oh, that's just weird. There's nice Edward Julian, by the way, this speckle autograph, he's one of our key players we're looking for, 63 out of 299. Edward Julian goes to Neil. Neil Schoon with the Edward Julian Javier Baez combo. But there's never a moment where I see a weird rule asked like someone about it or asked Jason about it. And I've never heard him go, well, it's just a weird quirk of the NHL or something like that. That's just the way it is. No one likes it, but there might be rules that exist, but none that I've really come across in my casual viewings, where Jason's like, oh, that's a weird rule, that's just the way it is, you know? I wish they'd change it someday. I don't really hear anything like that. I mean, I think a sport like the NFL could stand to simplify a lot of rules. It was Cole Young to 150. I feel like if you just, I mean, maybe growing up with it is a little different because you just kind of learn something every year of your life. But if you just took like, I don't know, let's say you took someone, probably the best example would be like someone who's watched soccer for their entire life. Never even seen a single snap of American football, right? And let's say they're 25, 30 years old or something like that, and that's all they've been watching and that's all they're kind of, it's kind of hard to explain. I mean, the fundamentals I guess are there, but I mean, there's such a huge learning curve in terms of like, penalties. Think about all the penalties. There's false starts, there's off sides, there's too many men along the scrimmage line, can only have so many men there. You know, who's eligible, how come everyone's not able to catch a football? Like they have to learn that. So those big guys up there, they can't catch it unless they tell them they're eligible to catch it. You know, like, pass your interference rules, what's a catch rule? You know, I feel like it could get pretty overwhelming for someone to kind of learn if they don't like, you know, as a child, you got hours to spend just learning the game, so it's something different, but as an adult, it's different to reinvest in the game. It's not as simple as soccer, per se. They were, who's they, Eric? So they were saying today the timers in the MLB have increased the instances of IL. Yeah, I don't know, that brings to mind one of my favorite games, coincidence or correlation? You know, is it just a coincidence that's happened and people are just connecting dots? Or is there actually correlation? I don't know if we'll really know until the end of the season. If, you know, just to keep track of all the time changes, like what, are pitchers being rushed to pitch the ball? Like, who's getting injured more? I don't see why hitters would get injured more just because of the clock, that doesn't make sense. I suppose pitchers could get injured because they're rushing to pitch, but I don't think they're really being rushed. You know, if they were just like, if it was just like, you pitch, the catcher catches the ball, whips it back and they have to rock another pitch again, like if they kept doing that, I could see that. But if you look at the game, it's really not, it's really not, they don't seem like they're rushed. Like, I feel like they have plenty of time to get the ball back, get the signs, get into their routine, you know, set, wind up and throw. Here's Juan Cerella, or Cerella. And Juan will go to Darren McKenzie, but ultimately, IL listings are up. I mean, let's take a look at some of the IL listings, like who's on the IL and why? And does it have to do with the pitch count? Or the pitch clock, not the pitch count, pitch clock. I would argue that it would be the bases. Now that it's a little more inviting to steal a base, are more players attempting stolen bases and are those players likely to end up on the IL? Players that normally don't steal too much? That's steal, but not that much. Are there a number of steals up? And also, are those the players that are landing on the IL with maybe like a tweaked hammy or a strained calf? You know, something random like that. But I don't see how it would affect, how the clock would affect pitchers, or hitters that is. It would mostly be pitching, if anything. There's a Marion Boyd to 399. And there's Andy Pais, it's a big prospect for the Dodgers. And we have Moises Baesteros, 60 out of 75. This Cubs prospect going to Darren McKenzie, that is 60 out of 75. All these Justin Crawfords, by the way, or go to Jim Wei, that is, Jim Wei Yin. Ooh. I feel something different on the back of my hand, ladies and gentlemen. It is the cool, cool feeling of a printing plate on the back of my index finger, where this card is resting. I feel the cool, coolness of a plate, there it is. Is it autographed? You don't think so. Isn't there usually a numbered card, then the auto? Yeah, not autoed, but a Juan Olmos plate. It was Olmos, an autograph, but just not quite. Juan Olmos going to, it's for Craig McGinnis. Let's hope he becomes a superstar. Super Estrella, Juan Olmos. Craig, all aboard the Big Hit Express. Woo-hoo. Any Matt Mervis yet? No, I've not seen a Matt Mervis. So an odd thing happens this game, Whit Merrifield returned to Kansas City a few weeks ago to a warm welcome, stepped out of the box, tip his hat, and I think they called the Pitch Clock Penalty on all. The Pitch Clock gave, they're not sentimental. They don't care about nostalgia or sentiment or anything like that. It's a cold, cold SOB. Doesn't care about former players returning. All right, we got a Yoann El Aponte, another Yoann Hell. Four for Ed P. You know what, that's on the ump. Doesn't the ump start the clock? Who starts the clock? I think the ump starts the clock, right? I think, I was just gonna say, yeah, Oliver, I think Cody Bellinger got the same thing, too. I mean, the umpire should just be like, hey, we're gonna not do the clock. Let's give this first. The ump should know, umps are baseball fans. They should know. They know these players. They know the history. They're not idiots. I blame the ump, Gabe. The ump should have been like, listen, let's give Whit Merrifield time out. Let's give Whit Merrifield his time. You know, the ump can count off like 10 seconds in his head or something, and then start the clock and be like, hey, I'm starting the clock, get in the box. Stupid ump. All right, three boxes ago. Pitch clock should never be an issue for most players. Don't think it used to be in the minors. Yeah, well, at least, when did it start in the minors? Three, four years ago, maybe? I guess anyone who was in the minor league system three or four years ago, probably. I don't think Whit Merrifield has ever dealt with a pitch clock in the minor, so. I mean, that's a different story, but I mean, anyone who gets a violation, like Manny Machado, Juansa, like those, the guys who've been hit recently with those. So I want to say a vast majority of the players actually probably haven't dealt with a pitch clock, if you think about it. What's the average age of players in the major league? Maybe that's not a good metric. What's the average age of starters of everyday starters in major league baseball? I mean, eventually, when all those players, I guess, age out, yeah, eventually, we're kind of in a transitional period. Once all those guys age out, then, was it longer than, yeah, someone looked that up. How long has the pitch clock been in the minors? I want to say it's within the last, I don't think it's as long as, it feels longer, but I don't think it's as long as we think. I don't think it's more than five. It might be four or five years. Is it more than that? All right, another box. Here we go, good luck, everybody. All right, we've got a Carlos Jorge. Man, I love his use of the canvas here. It's strong. That's a player I'm rooting for. A player with a bold autograph, he must be a bold player. Carlos Jorge is for, is for Brian Heyman. Refractor autograph, 17 out of 499. Here we go, number 25 Reds Prospect, according to Baseball America. Yeah, I don't know how the punishment of officials work in different, on all the different leagues. There is some sort of, there is some sort of evaluation system. You know what I mean? Because the only punitive thing that I know of is that if you don't grade out as well, you don't get post season assignments, which is essentially like a bonus for good officials. Because I think it's just more money for those playoff games. So if you're on a playoff, if you're part of the playoff team, that's like an honor, being rewarded for it. So there is an evaluation thing. They just don't roll out there. But it's not public. The NBA kind of does something where, or they will maybe say, yeah, we messed up on this call or that call, but for specific things. But NFL or, NFL or MLB definitely has not adopted that. I think that's a nice little feature that NBA officials do. But I think that's only from the, the officials unions are pretty strong. So, you know, for obvious reasons, they don't wanna put a lot of negative light on themselves. But, but yeah, I don't know. So I don't know what the punishment system is. That's never revealed, you know, by the player or the officials unions. And, you know, probably for obvious reasons, I don't think any officials wanna get called out. So they've probably collectively bargained or whatever, saying that, yeah, we're not gonna, we don't have to. It's a private, it's a private money. It's not, I don't think Major League Baseball really controls too much. Like in the way that I don't know if they could force the Major League Baseball umpires union to like, you know, to take accountability. I suppose they could, Michael Royo, by the way, goes to Craig. That's why. Yeah, for Angel Hernandez has claimed, like it's because of the color of my skin because of my last name, you know, if you get his drift. But I think the umpires union has kinda said, without calling him out, I think it pretty much been like, yeah, we have an evaluation process and we use that to determine who ends up in playoff games. It's not cause we like you or not. Which pretty much says it all. It's Gabriel Martinez to 125. It was Justin Crawford. Well, Rex, that goes into the, goes into what is a reviewable play or not? That has also been collectively bargained and agreed upon. What plays are reviewable when? So there's that. There's Micka Bell to 150 atomic. Now, the argument of course, there's Zack Nito to 175. That is, he got called up too. That goes to Ed P. So I guess the argument is, well, if you're gonna have review cameras out there, let's have everything be reviewable, but everything is not reviewable. So there's complications there too. Oh, NBA reviews are the worst. Yeah. I thought MLB reviews are bad and they are pretty bad, but just especially for some reason this season, like, maybe they've always been that bad, but for some reason I've just, it's just kind of needled me a little bit more. It just bugs me a little bit more this year, the way NBA reviews are taken. Like there's been some complicated ones where I'm like, all right, yeah, I could see why that would take some time. But I've seen some real obvious ones where there's still, there's Manuel Beltre, by the way. That's another one for Jay Gont. But like, I'm like watching that, it's like, it's real obvious and they take like, and the announcers say it's obvious, the crowd isn't, even if it's like an opposing crowd, they're not saying anything because they've seen it on the big screen, and they're just waiting. I don't know what they're waiting for. Is this a problem with the people who are looking at the review? Is it all sent to a central replay center? Why are they taking so long? You know? I feel like half the time, someone went out for a smoke break or something like that. Like one guy in the replay center goes out for a smoke break, and then there's like a big red light beeping in the control room where it's like, we need a replay assistant. All right, two boxes to go. And then someone comes inside from his or her smoke break and they're like, oh shoot. They run to the thing. Wait, wait, what play am I, where were you? Bob, where were you? I was out for a smoke break. Bob, we're in the middle of the game. We could do that afterwards. There's nothing that's going on. Well, now something's going on. We've been waiting for like four minutes. Yeah, you can't review everything. I mean, you know, I feel like you almost have to be like, let's review nothing and just have it the way it was before or let's review everything. I'm kind of getting to that point. And just be like, listen, you can review everything. I don't know how many reviews basketball gets now. Is it like two, one review? And then you keep, or one challenge, and you keep the challenge if it's successful. Yeah, pivotal moment of the game. I mean, that gets to be a little bit, I mean, I think they already kind of do review there's Jonathan Mahia in Victor, 57 out of 99. That is for Darren McKenzie and the Mahia, Xander Bogart's combo. They kind of do that already, do they not? I feel like there are a few moments where in pivotal moments they're not reviewing. I don't know, I've heard people argue that every moment is pivotal, Rex. Let's say your pitchers in a, your pitchers in a bases loaded jam in the second inning, it's two outs, you know, and they could get out of this inning with one more out. But then there's that one play that happens that turns into an extra batter which turns into a crooked number, blah, blah, blah, blah. There's Colson Montgomery to 125, Bowman Scott's top 100, Aqua at number 43 on the list. Colson Montgomery will go to Oliver. There's Martin Gonzalez to 199 for Seattle. Could be analysis paralysis, bi-analysis, however you want to say, well who's that, I really didn't see that, a really bad quality, ended up being the last track out of the game. Yeah, you can't review balls and strikes. So Rex, you're saying moments like that, balls and strikes should be, you can review a ball and a strike. Now the argument is that in the bottom of the ninth, every pitch is pivotal. So are you saying you can review every pitch in the bottom of the ninth? There's Myro Shendrick Martinez, 78 out of 100. Goes to Jay Goins, daughter's prospect. I mean, if it's a blatant bad call that everyone knows is a bad call, but I like how often, I mean, I'm not trying to be, that's that, I'm just trying to explain, I'm just trying to illustrate just how tricky it could be. It's easy to say, well just a bad call, but then how many bad calls? Is it every batter, every pitch in the bottom of the ninth? How much time are you willing to give up in a game to argue those? Cause then at that point, you should just be like, well, let's just have an automatic ump. Let's have the computer say what a ball and strike is. That way they'll be never any, they'll never be a problem. Which I kind of wouldn't mind by the way. As the years go on, there's Jordan Diaz to 399. Like I kind of think for balls and strikes, how much time do we waste arguing with our friends, talking with each other on the stream, while you're watching a game with your buddy, how many times are we arguing balls and strikes? It's all a waste of our time. Here's Matthew Wood. There's Jim Wei with Matthew Wood. Why not just balls and all balls and strikes? Just robo and no one can argue with it. Let's just really dial in robo umping. That can adjust to different heights of players, different batting stances, all that sort of stuff. Let's make it super high end, super state-of-the-art. Not just what you see on TV today, but just let's just really make it some of the most amazing technology ever. Let's just put that out there. Humans can still decide, can still decide outs on the bases. Got a James Wood purple paper to 250. I mean, yeah, if we can have robo cop, I know that was maybe a failed experiment, but I feel like if we have the technology to build robo cop, we have the technology to build robo ump. Why can't we just take the robo cop technology and put it towards robo ump technology? There's Ariel Almonte, 56 out of 499. I mean, Eric Houston, I saw the same documentary, robo cop, that's a good documentary. And we saw firsthand what robo cop can do. Barry Roberts has Ariel Almonte. We watched the documentary, we see what robo cop can do. Good and bad. Right, amazing documentary, Eric's saying. So we know what robo cop can do. Good and bad, we've seen the documentary, we've seen what it is. Maybe there are some issues with it, but I think it has shown that we have the technology to build a robo ump. We need justice in the strike zone, ladies and gentlemen. We need justice in the strike zone. Are you favorite of taking humans out of a referee action only in baseball or just in other sports? Just for balls and strikes in baseball. Or maybe just use more robo technology in more black and white issues, you know what I mean? They do that with offsides, the offsides rule in soccer. They've got robo technology, they've got, I don't know, throw a head on. There's computer technology that'll dictate, oh, this guy's shoulder was over, one foot was offsides. I feel like that's important for soccer. I feel balls and strikes are always such a, such a hotly debated thing. Especially as fans, when we can see when we can see a box on the screen and we can see where the pitches are landing inside the box, you know what I mean? When it gets to that kind of technology, like, you know, there's a lot of like, you know, Monday morning umps, if you want to call it, is it couch umps, couch umpires who are just like, that's not right, you know, like, right. They use that Hawkeye technology in tennis. Are you telling me we can't use that for baseball? Just for balls and strikes, which is the thing that we seem to be debating the most over something that should be sort of clear and obvious. The blue line of scrimmage on them is still not in, still inaccurate. Yeah, I got to look into this Jilo, but I used to be outraged about the same thing. But someone or like why there was an argument like why first downs can't just be automated or something like that? Because I think ultimately the camera only accounts for where they see the ball on the TV broadcast, something like this. If there was some science involved that I didn't wrap my head around. But I think on the field, the refs and the side judges are coordinating to exactly where the football is on the line of scrimmage. Let's say we're looking down the field here on this camera angle so the end zone is back there. And so like I think where they're putting it, they're lining it up with the side judges over here. And the camera that's looking down on the field on a football game, yeah, I think there's perspective issues with that too, Mike. There's something I'll have to look that up. There's Julio Rodriguez paper to 4.99. And cameras are placed in, it doesn't seem like it, but cameras are placed in different angles in different stadiums, because they're all built differently. So camera wells in one stadium will be at another part of the stadium, which also complicates issues. There's Lazaro Montes, 77 out of 125. That is a lunar parallel, lunar aqua maybe? Yeah, I'll have to look that up. There were some ESPN E60 should do a story on it, but there's Randy DeJesus. But pretty much there's a reason why humans are still marking downs and ball positions and stuff like that. And why that chain gang still exists. But hey, I hear you, Jilo, we're about to send people to Mars, you know? And here we are figuring out, not figuring out an accurate strike zone. In the beloved game of baseball. That's un-American. Un-American folks. If I went back in time and told Abraham Lincoln, President Lincoln, we still don't have an accurate way to figure out balls and strikes. Hi, I'm from 2023. We still have not figured out a way to accurately call balls and strikes. I mean, how disappointed would he be? He's like, I guided this country, you know, out of a civil war, guided this country through a civil war. And you're telling me we can't figure out balls and strikes? He'd be like, we have not advanced at all as a society. There's Yenir Fernandez, 62 out of 150. A little color match there. Blue Chrome for the boys in blue. Blue Chrome, take two. Blue Chrome for the boys in blue. That's gonna go to Scott Goodman. Oh, Rex. Would Lincoln know what baseball is? Open a history book, Rex. Open a history book, Rex. Actually, I don't know if he would or not, but early forms of baseball were played in various union and confederate camps throughout the civil war. Played a lot. Organized baseball, as we know, it probably didn't happen until much later. But many forms of baseball were happening during those times. One of the soldiers' favorite pastimes. But baseball, as we know, it probably wasn't until double day. Organized all of it. Codified some rules and figured some stuff out late 1800s, 1890s maybe. So I'm not entirely sure if I had a 399 green paper. I don't know if Lincoln, I'm sure Lincoln knew of baseball. Do you think Lincoln ever played baseball? That I don't think so would be my argument, Jason. But there's Randy DeJesus to 150. Blue Chrome for whoever has Randy DeJesus. Should be one more autograph here. But I mean, I would imagine that he's like de-de-de-de telegraphing reports back and forth from all of his generals and stuff. There must have been a report coming across as desing, you know, the soldiers are camped in for the winter. You know, if the weather is good, sometimes they're, you know, some of the soldiers are playing a little game of balls on bases or something like that. And there's Jacob Berry. Jacob Berry goes to our final autograph going to, the other page here. Going to David Harrell, big boys, 007. That's the Marlins first round pick six overall. I've never seen the ridiculous six. Is that a documentary on baseball? With Lincoln height frame, yeah, he'd probably be, what's Abraham Lincoln's official height? Abraham Lincoln height. He was six four. How much do you think he weighed? No. I mean, that's a, that's, I mean, if Lincoln weighed six four, two 15. Woo, nah, he's probably six four, one 90. That's a solid, that's a solid, maybe a solid point guard height right there. And today's NBA anyway. I mean, maybe back in the day, he's definitely a center back in the day, right, Mike Tower? No, I mean, look at you. Look at the pictures. He's super skinny. Can you find it online? Does anyone tell you like, no, I don't, I don't, I don't see weight. I see a lot of height, but I mean, I don't know, but maybe they wore looser suits back then. You know, that seems like, seems like he could be, he could be hiding a lot of weight unless he was just ripped. You know what I mean? You don't see Lincoln with his shirt off. If you pop that shirt off, maybe we, maybe he's just ripped 0% body fat and he's just jacked. I mean, he's got to slave vampires. I read that biography. All right, that's random player break number one. We got another one in this tour if you want to get it going. Sometimes during these long breaks, yeah, we get sidetracked a little bit. We'd like to have fun here, folks. So thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. I'm Joe for jaskiescasebreaks.com. That was a nice hit. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.
