Chad Hartman

A conversation with former Major League Baseball umpire Tim Tschida to start the second hour of The Chad Hartman Show. Chad asks his thoughts on when we will see robots take over behind the plate, Tim doesn’t think it will happen. They chat about how professionals make the difficult look so easy. “There’s no such thing as a routine play” says Tim. Chad then asks if Tim thinks Bob Manfred (Commissioner of MLB) is good or bad for their sport. Tim thinks too many suits have infiltrated the brass of the league and that they think they know everything. He also offers some names who he thinks would be a better fit for the Commissioner job. In the second segment, they try to make sense of the direction the Twins are taking and Tim details what’s different about the relationship between players/managers/umpires has changed over the years and why.
