Is the "human element" killing baseball? Hutt and Chad dive deep into why the Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS) isn't just a gimmick—it’s the savior MLB desperately needs. From ending the framing era to restoring the strike zone's integrity, we break down why the "Robo-Umps" are a win for the game.Plus, Vanderbilt Men’s Basketball Head Coach Mark Byington joins the show to discuss his vision for the Commodores, his high-octane offensive philosophy, and what it takes to rebuild a winning culture in Nashville.

Taylor gives us exclusive behind-the-scenes stories from his time on Idol, and what it’s like to play 18 holes with the Godfather of Shock Rock, Alice Cooper.Learn more about your ad choices.
