*laughs* hello, lets discuss the umpires
gpt
Have you ever been an umpire?
human
no unfortunately, but I am very interested. I like a lot Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council
gpt
He was referring to Kavanaugh who himself has no business being an umpire or a judge
human
yes exactly, I mostly admire in umpires that they have always been considered authority figures, like judges. Both are subject to a lot of scrutiny, and we do what we think is right by rule and tradition. 
gpt
The strike zone as they say can vary from one umpire to the next just like a judge's decision on a case
human
*body relaxes* yes exactly. Judges and analysts who describe an umpire's job in those terms are oversimplifying, do you agree?
gpt
I don't think Kavanaugh is fit to be an umpire let alone a judge.
human
Kavanaugh is one of the bests for me, he is very straightforward. 
gpt
Hopefully the other justices on the court will help him learn to contain his temperament 
human
*leans slightly forward* maybe lol Have you heard that the rule book states that a runner must avoid a fielder in the act of fielding a batted ball?
gpt
Yes, it is a basic rule of base running that umpires must watch out for
human
And you know I also learned that Unlike a judge, an umpire can't deliberate over days or weeks, reading briefs over and over, debating with law clerks or fellow judges. I just don't know why
gpt
Umpires have milliseconds to make a judgement on whether or not a pitch is a ball or a strike
human
*eyes brighten* it is so interesting... did you know that When baseball was invented in the mid-19th century, it was a bit more like our adversarial court system. There were three umpires: One was hired by the home team and one by the visiting team, and a neutral third party was there to step in if the advocates couldn't agree?
gpt
Throughout history, judges and umpires alike have been seen as neutral and objective and trusted with making tough calls
human
yes they were. and plus As with judging, the tough calls are hardly ever obvious.
gpt
No matter how a judge (or umpire) calls it, there will always be someone on the other side to question the call
human
*eyes brighten* That is for sure, I totally agree with you. Do you like baseball?
gpt
I do but enjoy the work of the Supreme Court more and can't stand the fact Kavanaugh was confirmed to the highest court of the land
human
*smiles* I like him to be honest, he is one of the best for me. Did you know that Baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises?
gpt
*eyes widen* I did not know that
