WEBVTT - Coco Beach 0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:07.280 Is this a great game or what with the Hall 0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:10.720 of Famer Tim Kirkshon. I'm his son, Jeff Kirkshon and Dad. 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:14.200 This is the most exciting time of the baseball season. 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:15.720 This week right here. 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.919 Right Jeff Pennant races are great, wild card races are tremendous, 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:26.119 MVP Cy Young races. It's the best week of the 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:31.200 regular season. There's no way around this. And we we 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:34.640 are spending the most important week of the regular season 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.680 at the beach. I went to the Harris teeter here 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.839 the other day to get groceries for the family, and 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:42.559 a guy comes up to me. I'm in there for 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:44.960 like thirty seconds. A guy comes up to me, doesn't 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:48.400 even say lo and just says, shouldn't you be at 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.879 a game? And I'd been on the island for like 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.760 an hour and that's the first thing anybody says to me. 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.520 I feel so bad about this, But Jeff, explain the 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.800 fathers who are here and now the grandfather you caull 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:03.960 you me. We've been coming here for fifty years. 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.640 It's our family vacation, a great fifty years. Five best 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.720 friends from elementary school. I've been going to the Outer 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.880 Banks and it's just such an important trip. And you know, 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.480 when you're doing with five families, right, that now becomes 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:21.280 thirty two people in one house because fathers became grandfathers. 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.319 There's a ton of kids running around, so you try 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.560 to find the best time for everybody. And guess who 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.000 had the last vote on when the best time for 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.240 everybody was? Old Tim and Jeff kirkshon over here. So 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.399 we brought our travel equipment with us. We're doing the 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:39.200 podcast ad in a movie theater that's in the basement 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.200 of this place, which. 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.280 Is not a house, it's a hotel. It seats like 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.280 it sleeps like forty five people, right, And how many 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.600 do we have at the top here? We have thirty I. 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.920 Think when we have the most amount of people, I 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:52.480 think I did the math. I think it's thirty two. 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.160 I think at the peak of everybody being here. So 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.720 we're just so happy to be here and we're keeping 0:01:58.800 --> 0:01:59.400 up with you. 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:00.480 We've got a. 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.560 Great interview tomorrow with Kevin Brown. We'll get to that 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.760 in a little bit, so the podcast will still go 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.480 off as usual Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:14.040 You'll just see or hear us from Beautiful Kill Devil Hills, 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:14.960 North Carolina. 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.680 Right, and in the spirit of where we are, Jeff, 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.120 we're gonna we're gonna elevate the team. Tim we usually 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.920 put it at the end of the episode. We're gonna 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.480 bring it up to the top because we're at the beach. 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.200 So I haven't told you this. What do you think 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.320 the theme is for this week? It's fairly obvious, the Beach, 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.560 the All Beach Team. Okay, We're gonna start with our 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.760 pitching staff because the pictures are best represented the All 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.520 Beach Team. Our first picture is Matt Beach. How about that. 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:49.919 We've got Ernie Shore perfect. We've got Doc Ellis who 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.720 actually used on the All Dental Team, and I have 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.120 to tell you wait, we're gonna need him next week 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.760 for the All Beach Team. Bobby C s spelled s 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:04.400 A Y, Stephen schll s h E l L and 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:09.840 Son Wu Kim. So those are the six pictures that 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.200 we chose. We could have picked a lot more, but 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.000 I've got to keep it six, all right. Chris Coast 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.720 is our catcher perfect. This is where it gets a 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.760 little repetitive. But you know, Jeff, you can't repeat names 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.000 no matter what. Those are the rules of team, Tim. 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.000 Real quick, go through your pictures again, in it with 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.280 your eyes and tell me blank to coast, what would 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:30.160 be the best picture? 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.600 Catcher sun coast. 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.280 Sun coast, right, might be the best one, right, Sea coast, right, 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:42.680 shore coast, No, right, all right. Jerry Sands is the 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:47.640 first basement. Jackson Holiday, you know you're on and Ekle 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.480 Craig and Toronto calls it a holiday. We call it 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:56.520 a vacation. Same idea. Heine Sand, So we've had Jack Sands. 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.400 Heine Sand is our shortstop. And again we're really pushing 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:06.600 it here. Sandy Alomar Senior Sandy Yeah, is our third basement, 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.440 even though he was mostly a second baseman. And our 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:17.120 three outfielders Drew Waters, Champ Summers and Chuck Tanner. I 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.160 look for a guy named tan but I couldn't find him, 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.919 so Chuck Tanner is going to have to do that. 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.640 Jeff is the All Beach team. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.560 Well done, And I want to give a shout out 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.800 to one lovely couple we go to the beach with 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.440 every year, Tim and Kim daily. They listen to the 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:37.159 podcast and or watch on YouTube every single week. Dad 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:38.919 and Kim looked at me and said it brings me 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.040 so much joy. I'm like the crazy woman walking through 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.960 my neighborhood, laughing hysterically listening to the podcast. 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:47.760 And then she hits me with I don't. 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.200 Understand half the things you're talking about, but boy is 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:50.839 it fun. 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:55.839 Well, that's good. And Tim Daly, Kim's husband also goes 0:04:56.000 --> 0:05:00.840 by pop Pop. So his real name is Tim like mine, 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.800 his grandfather name is pop Pop. So the number of 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.320 times I've turned because someone is calling for pop Up 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.520 but they're not calling for me Tim, well, yeah, yeah, 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:15.479 three three kids call me pop up, and there's seven 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.719 kids here that call him pop Up. So it's been 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.560 a little confusing, but it's been great. Yeah. 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.000 If I multiple times when you two have been together, 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.240 I just go pop Pop Pop Pop, because all four 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:26.000 pops are. 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.520 Taken care of that, right, absolutely. 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.560 All right, dad, Well, let's jump into the takeaways across 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:32.640 Major League Baseball. 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.520 There is so much happening right now. 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.760 Yeah, and we have to go back a few days 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:42.000 because it was that important Friday night, Clayton Kershaw pitched 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:48.440 what will be his final regular season game at Dodger Stadium, 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:53.360 and it was an amazing event. Of course, let's understand 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:57.479 who Clayton Kershaw is Jeff. He's the best active pitcher. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.560 He's the best pitcher of this generation. With all due 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:05.359 respect to Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander or our first 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.760 ballot Hall of Famers, the best picture of this era 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.960 that we're in right now is Clayton Kershaw. He has 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:17.320 the lowest era, Jeff, of any pitcher since nineteen twenty 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.760 live ball era with at least twenty five one hundred innings. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.400 Pitch wow. And the key is Jeff. He has been 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.640 great this year. This isn't a swan song, and he's 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.360 going out on the bottom. He's going out on top. 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.360 And now we can only hope, for his sake and 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.360 for the Dodger's sake that they have a great postseason. 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:41.120 But they finished with a wonderful, wonderful tribute to Clayton 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:45.359 Kershaw and so our cousin, my cousin, your aunt, Julie Schmodian. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:51.039 Julie was there, and Julie Townsend her married name, and 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.599 she must have texted me five times during the night, 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.840 and one was just I can't stop crying, mist I mean, 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.800 that's how important this was. And Jeff, again not to 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.719 be corny about this, but he's pitched his entire career 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.919 for the Dodgers. He is one of the greatest pitchers 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:12.240 in Dodger history. Maybe only Sandy Kofax was better, and 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.800 that's debatable. And he's such a good guy that when 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.880 when he retired, like the final night, you know, people 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:23.200 came back. You know who hadn't played with him in years. 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:27.160 Austin Barnes, one of his catcher, came back. Matthew Stafford, 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.440 the quarterback. Whole came because he grew up in the 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.760 same neighborhood and went to the same high school as 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.000 Clayton Kershaw. So this is why baseball is such a 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.040 beautiful sport. Is we didn't just send off such a 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.880 great pitcher. We sent off such a great guy. And 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.840 that's that was really nice. Oh ye see, and let 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.760 me finish it. Let me let's see if see how 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.680 well you can finish the Remember the anagram that I 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.640 used for Clayton Kershaw, there are two ways to use. 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:59.040 What's the anagram of Clayton Kershaw's name? Now that he 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:03.080 became against the Giants in that game, he became the 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:09.280 all time strikeout leader against the Giants, passing Warren Spawn 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.120 So there's a hook to this ridiculous anagram that I 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:13.720 came up with. 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:20.200 Ci Hero wants K right la la ci Hero wants K. 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:26.400 Jeff very poor la k Hero wants cy. Yes, I 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.880 always forget the la. Yeah, yeah, that's all right, Jeff. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.160 That was really good. You can remember that. I've only 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:32.280 used it like ten times. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.800 I mean I really am a slow to remember these things. 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.599 But when you repeat him, I mean I could. I 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.640 could repeat every line from Get Smart at this point 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.200 because we use him so many times. 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:44.920 Wait, do we have Jeremy Schappa on the air? 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:45.319 Oh? 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:47.920 Right, next week? 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.920 That's next week, a week from tomorrow on the podcast. 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.600 Wow, but make sure you tune in for Kevin Brown tomorrow, 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.920 broadcaster for the Baltimore Orioles. Hilariously funny, so great, brilliant 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.199 broadcaster and does it's the greatest Jim Palmer impersonation I've 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.400 ever seen, Jeff, Have you and I laughed that consistently 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.559 hard at the same time, And when Kevin Brown did 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:09.679 Jim Palmer, it's. 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:14.760 That and Aaron Boone's impressions. Laughing that hard? I mean 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:16.520 that was last year. 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:18.760 Yeah, oh, so this season, I don't think you and 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.679 I have laughed as hard than we did at that moment. 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:22.480 Very good. 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.680 Can I also say that Aunt Julie does she miss 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:31.160 an important game? Wasn't she at the Kobe eighty six 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.960 point game? Eighty one point game? 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.439 Yeah? Her and her son Brett, And Brett heard her son, 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.000 my nephew. I went to his wedding last year. He's 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.200 caught like ten foul balls at a game. Then he 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.040 goes to it, you know, an obscure Laker game, and 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.720 Kobe goes for eighty one and then they show up 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.160 at Otani does these amazing things. So yeah, So Julie 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.120 is a good luck charm. So if she keeps going 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.240 to the games, the Dodgers have a chance to do 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.960 something really good. All right, stay on the West Coast. 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:04.439 Mike Trout finally hit his four hundredth home run. Mike Trout. Now, 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.480 let's be clear, Jeff, Mike Trout is hitting in the 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.880 two twenties this year, and he's not the player he 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.600 used to be, and he's had injury issues, but let's 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.760 still be clear, he's one of the greatest players we've 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.400 ever seen. He's a first ballot Hall of Famer. The 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:21.080 amazing thing to me is and Bill Chuck pointed this 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.240 out for us. Bill Chuck from Billy Ball, We Love 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.880 Bill that when Trout got to four hundred, he had 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.480 two hundred homers at home and two hundred homers on 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:35.199 the road. So Neil ay Or, I don't know how 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.079 to pronounce it, sorry Neil, but he also texted us 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.160 a great game or what that? When Fred McGriff and 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.840 Jason Giambi got to four hundred homers, they each had 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.640 two hundred at home two hundred on the road. Now, 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:49.880 I didn't check with Frank on the Elias. Well, I 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.480 could have checked that in five minutes by myself, but 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.760 that's not the point. We have people calling in on 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.840 these things. And what did you You got an email 0:10:58.880 --> 0:10:59.559 from somebody else? 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.800 Ye Woodward, member of the family, always messaging with us. 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.480 Francisco Lindor hit a home run on Sunday for the Mets. 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.320 In his career, he has two hundred and seventy six 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.400 home runs, one hundred and thirty eight with Cleveland and 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.600 one hundred and thirty eight with the New York Mets, 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.880 one hundred and thirty eight at home and one hundred 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.520 and thirty eight on the road. 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.720 Jeff, that is so Bisarre. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.520 I mean, hey, John Woodward found that guy is a 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.319 huge for that he is he really. 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:30.199 Are so helpful? Who are are emailing us because they 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:31.400 have critical information? 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.160 Isn't it great when we don't have to do as 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.520 much prep because they do it for us out. 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.360 On the beach and they're looking up two hundred and 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:37.880 two hundred. 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:41.960 So okay, stop burying yourself in the sand. You're okay, feel. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:42.520 Terrible about it. 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:43.120 I know you do. 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.440 Or of course plays for the Mets And at this 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.400 sitting at the moment we are taping this on Monday, 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:54.280 the Mets would not make the playoffs, which is just inconceivable, Jeff. 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.880 In the middle of June, they had the best record 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:01.000 in baseball. They were twenty one games for five hundred. 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:05.400 So the last team to not make the playoffs when 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.199 they were at least twenty one games over five hundred. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.760 I thought it was further back than this, but the Indians, 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:15.120 Guardians whatever we're calling them, twenty nineteen were the last 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.880 team to do that, and Jeff, this is amazing. Also, 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:23.000 the Tigers might not make the playoffs also because now 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.079 they're in a fight to win the division, and if 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.120 they don't win the division. They might not win a 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.440 wild card because they just got swept at home six 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:34.480 game series first time since twenty nineteen. The Tigers were 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.000 twenty five games over five hundred. So there are two 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.959 teams this year twenty one over and twenty five over 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.320 in theory who might not make the playoffs. It just 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.880 shows you, Jeff, what we were saying right at the beginning, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.319 how great this last week of the season is. I mean, 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.280 we're not rooting for bad things like this, but this 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:57.440 is some mild history being made. And you know, the 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.520 Mets fans are going to be outraged they don't make 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.240 the playoffs after being twenty one games over because the 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.840 Reds are tied with them as of Monday morning, and 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.880 the Reds own the tiebreaker over the. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.560 Over the Mets and nine of the last ten games 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.080 the Guardians have won nine of the last ten games, 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:20.000 Detroit has lost nine of the last ten games. Seattle 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.040 has won as well. 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.280 So we're seeing. 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.240 This is the time to go on a run. And 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.439 they took over the division from the Astros. 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.679 This is what makes this time so exciting, right And 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.600 in this taping, the Mariners had won fourteen out of 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.600 fifteen to take a three game lead in the division, 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:38.440 which is amazing. And if the Guardians come back and 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:42.120 win the division, because they were fifteen and a half 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:46.240 games back, they will set the record for the furthest 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:52.040 amount back to come back and win a division or 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.000 a league. How about that? That's what we're talking. 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.520 Incredible. I mean that clubhouse has really turned around. And 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:59.440 you know, at the trade deadline you kind of looked 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.520 at both THEA and Cleveland and you were like, are 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:03.240 they not really? 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:04.600 You know what's going to happen? 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:09.640 Both out multiple times? Again, this is the beauty of baseball, Jeff, 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.280 But this is the biggest beauty of twenty twenty five 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.480 just how unpredictable it has been. 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.960 And I don't want to throw you, but also the Diamondbacks, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.800 we all thought that what is going on there? A 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:21.720 game out of the wild. 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:26.440 We talked about them last week. Also, they they traded 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.000 at the they didn't acquire, they traded trade deadline, and 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.040 here they're coming back. Tory Lavello a great job that 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:33.520 he's done. 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:35.920 All right, Dad, should we jump into the courtchins? 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:36.200 Yes? 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.880 So we had this was pointed out by several people, 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.640 including me. We had a three eight six force out 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.240 the other day and people were asking me, have you 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.440 ever seen anything quite like this? And I don't think 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.720 I have. So the Reds are playing the Cubs. Pete 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.840 crow Armstrong is at the plate. He hits a line 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:59.520 drive that hits off the first baseman's mitt of Spencer Steer. 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.840 What's the US and on mits and gloves. 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:05.080 Jeff, Only catchers and first basemen have mits. Everybody else 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.880 they don't have what they don't have the fingers fingers 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.320 right if you put on right in. 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.400 The winter, you don't have fingers if you have gloves on. 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:20.040 So it hits off Spencer Steer's mitt. It then hits 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:24.400 the runner and then the ball goes into center field 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:28.280 and TJ. Friedel in center field picks up the ball 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:33.480 and throws Moises Ballistero's out at second. So Pete crow 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.000 Armstrong gets a rocket to first, doesn't get a hit 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.960 out of it. The ball actually hits the ground, still 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.400 doesn't get a hit out of it because Ballistero's is 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.680 forced out at seconds, so Pete crow Armstrong gets no 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.800 hit on that. It goes as a three eight six 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:51.840 force out. How weird is that? 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.360 That is very strange? 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.680 And now how weird is this The Royals beat the 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.280 Blue Jays twenty to one in a game just the 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.840 other day, of course, and earlier this year, the Blue 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:06.960 Jays beat the Rockies twenty to one. So the Blue 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.640 Jays won a game and lost a game by nineteen 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.840 runs in the same season. So I called Frank from 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.760 the Elias. He's so helpful. The twenty eighteen Mets and 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:22.720 the twenty eighteen Phillies are the only teams ever to 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.360 win a game by nineteen and lose a game by 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.320 nineteen or more in the same season. So it's only 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.240 been done two other times, and it was done in 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:35.080 the same year twenty eighteen, and the Mets that year 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:39.960 beat the Phillies in one of those games. Oh wow, Yeah, 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.880 so that's weird. But no team has ever played a 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.000 I mean twenty to one. It is kind of an 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.880 interesting score, right, So no team has ever won a 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.160 game and lost a game by the exact twenty to 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.000 one score in the history. 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:54.920 That's crazy. 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.360 And we're saying in the history of baseball, which is 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.680 currently running at seven hundred and ninety four years, right, 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:02.960 think about that, that's how long the game's been around. 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:04.160 It At least it feels. 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:07.280 That long, right, Okay, So in that game, the Royals 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.120 got twenty seven hits. I was surprised by this, and 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.200 the Blue Jays got three. So they got out hit 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.040 by twenty four hits in a game. The last time 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.840 any team did that was in ninety four. The Phillies 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:25.240 scored twenty eight more runs than the Louisville Colonels ninety four, Jeff, Now, 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:26.880 what's the answer to that. 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.600 The Colonels, right, what about them? 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:31.760 Eighteen ninety four? 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:32.439 Oh eighteen? 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:36.600 Of course, the Louisville Colonels, as we know, right where 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:42.040 there were still Civil War colonels alive. The Colonels were playing, right, 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.920 and we have a note that goes all the way 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:50.240 back to that. All right, speaking of the Phillies, Taiwan Walker, 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.119 Phillies are your team now, Jeff. 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:53.960 Okay, we've adopted them, right. 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:58.920 Taiwan Walker started and a newcomer came in to relieve him. 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.399 Do you remember who the the brand new pitcher, that 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.760 the veteran pitcher that they Walker Buller. Yes, yeah, So 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:10.399 Taiwan Walker was followed by Walker Buller, right, not the 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.320 most unusual thing. My favorite one on all these was 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:17.040 when the Blue Jays had a bullpen that included David 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:23.520 Bush and Brandon League. And multiple times David Bush was 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:27.440 relieved by Brandon League, so we had the Bush Bush 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:29.800 League bullpen. We love that. 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:30.960 That's Bush League, right. 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.520 And last thing, Jeff Aaron Judge drew his one hundredth 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:39.480 intentional walk of his career, all of them of course 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:44.439 with the Yankees. Now we started charting officially intentional walks 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.479 in nineteen fifty five. So the only two Yankees that 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.959 have had more intentional walks in their career, so this 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:56.479 doesn't include Ruth or Garriger DiMaggio. John Mattingly had one 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.359 hundred and thirty six and Mickey Mantle had one hundred 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:03.359 and twenty six. And now Judge has his one hundredth 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.400 intentional walk. All right, Now, let's see if you can 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:10.119 remember the amazing statistic about Barry Bonds. Just give me 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:14.560 a rough idea how many intentional walks Barry Bonds had 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.760 in his career? Now again, play this whole career since 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:24.239 we've been charting, right, Just take a guess, Jeff six, 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.960 I'm gonna say three fifty eighty eight. 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:28.639 Didn't he have one hundred in a season? 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.240 Yes, two thousand and four Jeff, he had one hundred 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.720 and twenty wow in one season two thousand and four, 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:36.359 So airon Judge. 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.480 For people who might not know Dad, give a rough 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:42.960 estimate roughly of how many at bats a how many 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.800 played appearances an everyday player would have in a season, 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:49.919 well roughly six hundred, six hundred see one hundred and 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:53.400 twenty in a season. So basically one out of four times, 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:55.600 one out of five, one out. 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:58.240 Of five times he gets intentionally walk, not walk. Think 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.320 about no one in the American walked one hundred and 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:07.840 twenty times that season, any in any way walk walked intentionally, unintentionally, combined, 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.800 So that that just shows you who Barry Bonds is 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.560 and as great as Aaron Judges. And we don't intentionally 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.560 walk people today, Jeff, like we used to. But it's 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:17.520 pretty amazing. 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:18.400 Even though it's easier to do. 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:23.720 These areas had more twenty more in one season than 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:27.879 Aaron Judges had in his career. It just shows you 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.200 how amazing it is what Barry Bonds did. 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:32.639 Coming up next on is this a great game? Or 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:35.679 what we've got on this date in baseball history, Dad 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:39.800 brought some cards from the bathroom. Yes, we'll explain we'll 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:44.119 explain more. And then I finally, one week late, have 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:49.159 my team Jeff that I have created and hopefully, hopefully 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.280 it lives up to your standard. Dad, we'll find out 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.200 it's all coming up next. 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.280 Welcome back to is this a game or what we 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:02.040 are recording? 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:04.800 In a movie theater in the basement of a beach 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:09.280 house in Outer Banks, North Carolina. Dad, give your little 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:11.160 disclaimer before? 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:14.680
