Following his retirement as 85 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 6: a player, Baker went on to become the first black 86 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 6: manager in baseball history when he was named to leave 87 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 6: the Batavia Pirates, one of Pittsburgh's minor league squads, in 88 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 6: nineteen sixty one.

In nineteen sixty three, 91 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 6: he continued as a sin by joining the Pirates as 92 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 6: a coach on a major League team. 93 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: Baker was the second. 94 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 6: Black coach of the majors, following Hall of Famer Buck 95 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 6: O'Neill by about half a season that same season. On 96 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 6: September twenty first, nineteen sixty three, sixty years ago, Gene 97 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 6: Baker became the first black manager in Major League baseball 98 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 6: history when he had to step in for the ejected 99 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 6: Danny Mert tal.

Texas Ranger's second baseman doing it big 376 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 3: this season. Gary Sheffield Junior is dealing straight facts on 377 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 3: mlbbro dot Com. 378 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 12: RmlB brow this week and I feel like a broken 379 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 12: record going back to this guy. But he just keeps hitting. 380 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 12: Marcus Simeon. 381 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 8: First pitch swaying, Simon hits it down the line. 382 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 15: If that's good, first cut to the game at Simeon 383 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 15: puts the Rangers in front. 384 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 12: Let's just cut to the chase. Simeon has been an 385 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 12: absolute monster this year, having scored one hundred and twelve runs, 386 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 12: driving in eighty nine himself. Those numbers are a product 387 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 12: of a player that gets on base within unique ability 388 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 12: to adapt to any situation he finds himself in with 389 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 12: the bat adjustments. Who knew it was still possible today's baseball. 390 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 12: Simeon has struck out less than one hundred times in 391 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 12: twenty twenty three and he's driving the baseball. How many 392 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 12: players can you name in the sport today? They can 393 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 12: do both. The list is four or five players long 394 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 12: and should prove why these type of bats are valuable 395 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 12: when the games matter. In September, as we trickle into 396 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 12: the fall. People forget why Vladdie Junior and Bobaschett were 397 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 12: driving in runs left and right. The catalyst for that 398 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 12: team Marcus Simeon. He was all over the base pass 399 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 12: and he was no slouch in the field either. Overall, 400 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 12: Simeon has piled up a war of six and a 401 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 12: half that's kept the Rangers in the thick of the 402 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 12: AOS race. And let's be honest, most have given up 403 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 12: on Texas in large part due to their unhealthy rotation. 404 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 12: It's a problem. Max Schurzer goes down, Jacob deGrom went 405 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 12: down early in the season, and they even said Schurezer's 406 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 12: not going to come back even if they have a 407 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 12: deep postseason run. It's disappointing. But what's not disappointing is 408 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 12: that lineup led by Marcus Simeon. He will not let 409 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,239 Speaker 12: them down and it's the reason they paid them all 410 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 12: that money. It's impressive and we're watching it here at 411 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 12: that mb. 412 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 18: Bro mlbbro dot com covering black and Brown major leagues. 413 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 3: Malik Writing Dante Miles bring you the Fire with the 414 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 3: High and Outside podcast every week on mlbbro dot com. 415 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 3: This week they kick it with Devin sweet picture for 416 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 3: the Oakley A's and the only HBCU player in the 417 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 3: major leagues right now. 418 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 2: The debut July High nineteenth.

True, 501 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 3: But rarely have I heard him as excited about a 502 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 3: young talent as he is about Key Brian Hayes, third 503 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 3: baseman for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he is the focus 504 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 3: of Rob's rant for the last Robs rant of the 505 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 3: regular season, the two Thy twenty three Robs Rand. 506 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 2: Rob's Rand. 507 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 21: Maybe it's because I know his dad and I covered 508 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 21: him in New York when Charlie Hayes played for the 509 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 21: Yankees and won a World Series with the Bronx Farmbers 510 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 21: in nineteen ninety six. 511 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 8: You might remember he caught the final out of the 512 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 8: ninety six World Series. 513 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 21: But I always watched Key Brian Hayes for the Pirates 514 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 21: from Afar, and I admired this kid's glove at third base. 515 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 8: It's so hard to play third base, but now it 516 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 8: looks like he's fully arived. 517 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 21: The bat didn't come with the glove when he first 518 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 21: got into the big leagues, but this year he's turned 519 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 21: it around. Playing a great third base, has a great 520 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 21: chance to win a Gold Glove, and he's swinging a 521 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 21: hot bat too. Coming into Thursday. He had ten hits 522 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 21: in his previous twenty two at bat. He's finishing strong 523 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 21: at the plate in the field. 524 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 8: Keep Brian Hayes and the Pirates. 525 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 21: Remember they gave him that contract, the largest contract in 526 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 21: the history of the Pirates. 527 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 8: It was for a reason they believed in him. 528 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 21: They believed that he was more than just a defensive guy, 529 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 21: that he was an all around player glove, stick it all, 530 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 21: and keep Brian Hayes. 531 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 8: Is living up to it here in this twenty twenty 532 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 8: three season. 533 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 21: It's great to see him finish the season out with 534 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 21: a strong performance. 535 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 8: I'm rob and that's my rant. 536 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 3: Since the MLB added a third playoff team, the playoffs 537 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 3: have been amazing. Is it foul or fair to say 538 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 3: that adding one more wildcard in each league would make 539 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 3: baseball even better? Fair? The wildcard races are crazy in 540 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 3: both the American League and National League. In fact, the 541 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 3: NL has a handful of teams still slugging it out 542 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 3: and this is just what baseball wanted. The third wildcard 543 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 3: spot MLLB implemented last season has added an extra importance 544 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 3: to the last fifteen games of the season, which in 545 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 3: the past was not as exciting. Until they added the 546 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 3: second wildcard and now the third. 547 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 2: It's clear that baseball is winning. 548 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 3: The regular season has healthy ratings despite some attendance issues 549 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 3: in certain small market franchises who most importantly aren't winning 550 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 3: like Oakland, but the wildcard has ensured that even teams 551 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 3: who most likely aren't constructed to win a World Series, 552 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 3: but are good enough to make the playoffs keep their 553 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 3: fans involved by snagging one of three available wildcard slots, 554 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 3: So why not four? That's just more excitement, more revenue, 555 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 3: more inclusion for MLV fans, more money for MLB coffers. 556 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 3: Baseball had to find a way to keep the small 557 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 3: market teams who won't ever really spend to contend annually 558 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 3: and their faithful fans involved past August, adding the wildcard 559 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 3: has been a winner and replacing the two single elimination 560 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 3: wildcard games, which was unfair, with four three game series 561 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 3: is a baseball bonanza. Opponents of this idea will say, 562 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 3: we already have twelve or thirty teams in the playoffs, 563 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 3: and I say, what's two more? Can't see where this 564 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 3: hurts at all. Let's up into four wildcard teams. More 565 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 3: playoff teams means more tests, more fans locked into the season, 566 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 3: more chances for upsets, and chances for incredible storylines that 567 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 3: make baseball great.
