"But first, do you want to send some kind words to Cardi B and Stefon Diggs?"

JuJu, as confident as ever in his Bills but still afraid of the Dolphins, is here for Thursday Thunder, to update The Polls, and to share some insight on the WNBA Playoffs. Plus, Billy Gil joins Jeremy and Chris for this episode of The Pitch Clock while Chris finally has an opportunity to break down the league in 2025, and, unsurprisingly, it devolves into total chaos.

Alright, Smirnoff.

We continue to segregate baseball around here in a way that's offensive.

Pitch clock is going to be tacked on to the end of what it is that we're doing here with Juju.

We've been neglectful of baseball in general.

The other day, Shohei Otani hit his 50th home run and threw five no-hit innings.

And we're like, yeah, whatever.

Didn't even discuss it.

Like, that's a imagine 10 years ago me telling you that a player was going to throw five no-hit innings and hit 50 home runs.

You'd be like, what are you talking about?

Kyle Raleigh also, most homers ever is a switch hitter, dude, as a catcher.

He's a good

in this room.

Pitch clock will be

here at the end of what we do with Juju, but we've got a lot to get to with Juju.

Stephon Diggs and Cardi B are expecting, but let's do Thursday Thunder here first.

That's right.

It's Thursday Thunder, and it's presented by DraftKings.

DraftKings, the crown is yours.

Juju.

Yes, sir.

Bills versus dolphins tonight in the great showdown.

AFC East, I see you.

I'm starting off with my brother Tyreek Hill, the cheetah.

He is going to go over 63.5 yards tonight, receiving.

Tua gonna get it together.

Be patient with your dolphins.

I got more faith in your dolphins than you guys got.

Tua will pass that boy 63.5 yards tonight.

Second leg, my brother Joshua Palmer of your Buffalo Bills.

Over 2.5 catches tonight.

That Dolphins defense, like y'all said, it has holes everywhere.

And I think my brother will find at least three of them tonight.

Last leg, Daltino Kincaido.

Dalton Kincaid tonight, over 3.5 catches from your brother and mine, Josh Allen.

Locking in.

When was the last time you were this confident that the Bills were going to win a football game?

I'm not.

I'm actually not.

My girl always tells me, I hate how afraid of the Dolphins you are.

I look at the Dolphins every time like, man, they play us tough.

I was in Buffalo with Chris Cody one time and he had his shirt off and the Dolphins had Skylar and Skylar almost wheeled them boys to a win.

So I don't see the Dolphins like y'all see them.

If you out there and you got anything, anything, some disposable income, toss it on the dolphins because I'm not so sure, but that's neither here nor there.

Okay, I'm surprised to hear you say that.

I was also surprised that the Liberty lost last night.

Were you?

Oh, yes.

The way they lost, too.

They got that baby spank last night.

Phoenix, they was on the verge of elimination.

In the WNBA, the first round is best out of three.

So

that second home game or that second away game that you have, if you lost lost the first one, you're out of here if you don't make it back home.

And Phoenix, they beat them girls down the entire game.

Now, Breonna Stewart, she got a knee injury she's dealing with, but she was on the court.

So if you out there, you got to do something.

And so the important game three, the siding game three will be tomorrow night in Phoenix.

Juju and Trister are doing a hell of a job on DLS Hoops covering everything WNBA related and basketball related.

What did you think about the Lynx rallying last night?

Man, it's something about the Lynx.

The Lynx have what

the early days of Steph Curry and Clay Thompson had.

They're down 20 points.

It's the fourth quarter.

Of course, they supposed to lose.

Not so fast, my friend, Lee Corso style.

The Valkyrie were up the entire game.

And then out of nowhere, the Lynx just turned it on and was like, you know what?

What are we doing?

Let's get out of here.

We do not want to have to pay everybody to come to our arena.

We got to pay concession stands.

We got to pay the popcorn people.

We ain't got time for all that.

Let's get this done tonight.

Salute to head coach, coach of the year, Natalie Nikase, for a great season because inaugural seasons don't go like this.

And hats off to them for having a great season, but the Lynx, man, too strong.

All right, Juju, we got some deciding game threes tonight.

You want to pick either of these row teams?

I'll tell you one row team I'm not picking, and that's the Indiana Fever.

I'm sacrilegious tonight because the the WMBA playoff scheduling don't get me started.

Terrible.

The game ones was on NFL Sunday.

Terrible.

Don't start your playoffs on NFL Sunday.

And tonight, playoff game on Thursday.

We can't help this one, but I'm choosing to go to the dream game tonight.

And I'm going to watch my Bills first half on my phone.

I'm choosing

the dream, of course.

But that second game, I don't know, man, if Gabby and Erica Wheeler and NECA can put together a better effort than they did that game one, Vegas might be in trouble.

When's the last time that a sporting event of any kind knocked out a Bills game for you where you had to watch it?

That's never happened before.

So only the Atlanta Dream are something that has your allegiance a little more than the Buffalo Bills.

They do not have my allegiance more than the Bills.

We the same.

But at the same time,

it's an elimination game.

Loser goes home, and I have to be there to make sure my sisters see me in the flesh.

I'm like, oh, yeah.

Okay, he's here.

We got it.

Yeah, you can only go to one, Dan.

Okay, fair enough.

I'm sorry.

I didn't realize, man.

Zazzlo's getting more and more confident.

And I'm a little scared.

You call him a rising star over and over.

You're going to gain confidence.

Yeah, but just like I've lost it.

It's too much.

We're going to get to the polls in a second.

But did you want to send out some kind words to Cardi B and Stefan Diggs?

Yeah, man.

Like, salute to Stefan Diggs.

I was wondering why his season wasn't shaping out to be as much as we thought it was going to be just yet and this is a great reason man my boy is expecting i'm sure it's going to be a healthy beautiful baby between the two of them man that baby is going to be so much like he's going to be in line he or she's going to be in line for whatever lifestyle they choose so hats off always congratulations new birth new birth in this world i'm not going to leave you on an island i would also like to send my best wishes you're here a happy couple warmest regards

Also, I don't think it's because of the pregnancy.

I think it's because he's on the wrong side of 30 and is coming off a knee injury.

There we are.

That might have something to do with it as well.

Pitch clock will be here in a second, but let's update some polls here first, Juju.

Yes, sir.

Before I update the polls, I also want to say my brother Roy, Rose, and Dwark have a new channel.

uh the hockey show have a new channel tell them how to listen to it roy yes uh we have a new channel on youtube it's uh at the hockey show That was available?

Yeah, that was available.

Wow.

It's unbelievable.

I keep getting surprised with this title.

Is it a thin line between journalism and snitching?

72% of the audience says, yes, it is.

Ridiculous.

Do you know what P's and Q's are?

61% of the audience says, no, they don't.

I voted no.

Did anyone like the movie Tenant?

No.

70% 70% of the audience says no, they did not.

I mean, a lot of that audience is lying, ain't they?

Dare you to tell me what that movie's about?

Spelled the same way backwards.

That's what the movie's about?

Yeah, I get it.

Yeah.

You hold the poster upside down.

It still says Tenants.

What's that called?

T and Q are spelled the same way backwards.

How does that work?

What's the word for that?

Is it palindrome?

I believe it's onomopantia.

Stupid?

I believe it's onomonia.

It's not onomonopoeia.

It is absolutely onomo.

Anomonopoe is punt.

No.

It's a word that sounds like what it is.

Panamanopoeia.

Like Hannah, do you know how to spell the word W?

My favorite part.

55%.

Right.

55% of the audience says, yes, they do.

Damn.

Oh, no.

That's it.

Wait a minute.

No, that's not true in any way.

You don't know how to spell W.

55% of the audience are like.

That's such nonsense.

Does Christopher Nolan know what Tennant was about?

83% of the audience says, no, he does not

how does how does christopher nolan make a movie that nobody understands and the last poll should your hockey opinions be disqualified if you refer to the puck as the ball

97 of the audience says yes it should and those are your polls thank you juju pitch clock next don lebatard can i tell you something I don't know, maybe like a month ago, and I decided to watch Pitch Clock, and I told Jeremy, Stugats, this is a good show you're doing.

This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats.

Do you think that Dan's going to be upset that we're getting Billy to talk baseball when he won't do it on the show?

Yeah.

You think so?

So let's do it.

So let's do it.

Welcome to the Pitch Clock.

Here's The Pitch, a two-part baseball segment combining a nostalgic baseball trivia game and an interview with an expert.

This is the pitch clock.

clock.

It's time for another episode of the pitch clock.

And this is a

real, yeah, you heard that noise?

That can only mean one thing.

Billy Gill is here.

Billy.

Hey.

Hello.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Billy.

It's great to have you here with Chris.

Thanks.

Ah, Robota.

There it is.

Thank you for that.

That means the show is officially.

A lot of inside jokes here.

So, this is fun.

We're going to have a couple of really special baseball guests that join us to talk 2025 MLB in just a moment, but we got to get started on our trivia.

Taylor is not here today, so the voice of God that you are going to hear that we don't have enough cameras to show him is Mike Fuentes.

He's going to be doing all the research.

We just call him Happy.

I'm ecstatic to be here.

I mean, Happy's going to have a camera on him.

Don't worry about that.

There's always a camera on Happy.

I'll describe what it is that we're doing today because we're doing 501 trivia.

Once again, thank you to Taylor for introducing this to us.

So the way that this works.

The laziest form of trivia.

Yeah, it is.

So

that you can understand what the deal deal is here bill 501 trivia yeah we all start at 501 501

we're each going to guess uh

a player based off the category in which we're we're guessing which i'll get to in just one moment

and for each player fuentes will look up the answer to this category today that is going to be atlanta braves single season home run leaders okay so our goal is to get down to zero the closest to zero without going over.

So you have to start saying,

you have to start saying players from the

Atlanta Braves, single season home run totals until you to try to get down from 501 to the closest to 100.

Yes, I don't understand at all.

What does 501 have to do with anything?

It's a dark dark thing, apparently.

Okay.

We didn't understand it either.

So I'm glad we're doing this, though.

I want to get points.

You can't go past zero.

So

it doesn't count.

If it gets you past zero, you can't

stay exactly where you are.

So this is a group effort?

No.

It's a competition to see who can get the closest to zero.

Oh.

Why are you laughing at me?

Chris is gonna go.

If we have the same people?

No.

Listen to me.

So if I say Jeff Blowser, he can't say Jefferson.

Correct.

So

Chris is gonna start.

You want that 22?

You're gonna need that.

You think you get 22?

Here's the thing.

You don't need to go biggest to smallest first.

You just need to get it down, as I'm understanding the game.

That's right.

So the way that we're gonna do this, traditionally, we end up doing five guesses total.

Today, we're gonna do 10 guesses total.

What does that get us?

We're just doing one, though.

What does 10 get us?

We're gonna be here all day.

Do we want to make this 301 trivia?

Do we want to make that 301 trivia?

So if you go over, you lose.

That's the pitch.

Like the price.

So we're gonna do 301 trivia.

What did you play last time that you got to 500?

We were doing single season home runs.

Uh-huh.

Sorry, Danny's in my ear as I'm trying to speak, telling me to do 305.

We're doing 301.

305.

Okay.

So we're going to do 301 trivia.

305 to 5 makes sense.

sense.

Especially if you're doing Marlins.

It's Atlanta.

Why is it Atlanta?

But we're in Miami.

You have the advantage now because you picked the topic.

I didn't look at anything I promised.

Yeah, right.

We need to decide another thing.

So we're doing 305.

Yes.

Are we doing the Braves?

Yes.

404 trivia.

Because it's still chord.

I understand.

Okay.

But, okay.

404 trivia.

Yeah.

It's going to be single season.

Home runs.

Home run

highs for the braves.

Yes, we're married to that.

Okay.

Done.

Nothing.

10 guesses, Matt.

10 guesses each.

If you go over, you stay where you are.

And importantly, because there are guys that are multiple times on this list, it's going to default to whatever their best with the Braves was.

Right.

The career high.

Single season with the Braves.

Their single season career highs.

Overexplaining.

Exactly.

All right, I teased it that there would be a really special MLB expert with us.

And actually, finally, for the first time on this show, I'm getting to dive deep into

actual 2025 Major League Baseball with Chris Cody.

However, buddy?

I guess that's a fair response, right?

But I'm really excited for this because we've been talking baseball outside of the pitch clock all year long.

And to have a chance to go kind of in depth with you is something that excites me.

Let's dive in.

I want to talk to you first about Cal Raleigh.

He's now got the most home runs of any switch hitter in the history of Major League Baseball.

He has a chance to win the MVP.

The Mariners, as we sit here today, are presently in first place, and he's doing it all as a catcher.

So really, I just kind of want to know, what do you think about Cal Raleigh getting to this space in the season?

Yeah, he's good.

Anything else?

Well,

big ass.

Okay, so the Astros and the Mariners then.

The Astros.

Sorry, go ahead.

They're in a wild card race with each other.

They're in the NL West race with each other.

Who do you ultimately think they play against each other this weekend?

Do you think one team has an advantage over the other?

And ultimately, who do you think is going to win that final wild card spot?

I'm an ass man.

Astros.

Okay.

Go ahead and get us started.

Fred McGriff.

All right.

Do I write that down or no?

Maybe so that you might want to say it.

You might want to mark for my own make like a maybe yeah.

At least we don't have to just search.

At least we don't have to do this.

I have the number.

What's the number?

34.

34.

Ooh, round number.

370.

I'm down to.

So I go from 404, 370 is my next number.

Billy, who you got?

It's my turn now?

Your turn.

Are we doing a certain number?

We're doing 10 for sure.

10 total guesses.

Oh, because I have one that I want to say, but I don't think it's going to help me in my game.

Right.

You can also do it.

Remember, this could have been 305.

I'll go with Adris Galaraga.

Ah, the big cat.

Yeah.

Billy took the lead.

Galaraga, 44.

44.

Wow, another round number.

So down to 360.

All right, I'm going to say Matt Olson.

Jeremy's a cheater.

Matt Olson, 54.

I'm allowed to know.

Probably smart.

Do you have like the best single season Braves?

Like, that's what you should have.

Yeah, you should.

If you keep that up, it'll be easier.

Probably.

Most impressive things is that you all managed to get a number with 40.

Yeah, that's kind of crazy.

So I guess we have to stick with 404.

I'll go Ronald Acuna.

That's a good one.

I know he had a 44 year.

I didn't say Jeremy.

Sure, I didn't.

41.

41.

So now you're down to 370 minus 49.

Oh, crap.

What is that guy's name?

I have plenty of people that I want to say, but there's one in particular that I want to say, and I'm blanking on his name, but I'm not going to tell you because then you guys will just steal him from me.

Hmm.

Let's say David Justice, which probably doesn't have a very big career high.

I'd say in the 30s.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

Can I just do a quick Google search?

David Justice 40.

40?

Wow.

All right, I'll take it.

So down to 320.

I'm gonna have to say Chipper Jones.

Larry Chipper Jones.

You ran out of people, are you fan?

Yeah.

Just if one of them.

Chipper Jones, 45.

There you go.

So I'm down to 305.

Andrew Jones, really good one.

Yeah, I was thinking him, but that's not who I was going to say.

Andrew Jones, 41 again.

Carried a one.

288.

I am down to 281.

288.

I lied.

Andrew Jones, 47.

Okay.

Oh.

That's it.

So 281.

281.

I lied again.

It's actually 51.

Are you kidding me?

What are we doing?

What if this is insane?

And I swear I knew he had a 51.

Like, I thought that was yeah, you knew that.

My turn?

Yeah.

Yeah, Billy's turn.

I don't want to say Blouser.

I'm not going to say Blouser.

All right, Javi Lopes.

Ah,

that was one of my names right here.

Let me see.

Javi Lopes.

J.

Lopez.

I'm not going to say that.

Let's see.

It's going to be like 32 or something.

Yeah, it's going to be like 32.

He's a cat.

I'd He's gonna say 38.

He had some pop, though.

It's gonna be 43.

Wow.

Wow.

Down to 277 by my math.

Wow, this is getting close.

I'm gonna go ahead and just say

Freddie Freeman.

Freddie Freeman, 38.

I'm gonna go with Ryan Klesko.

Whoa.

Bad guess.

Ryan Klesko, 34.

Oh, see, good guess for me.

All right.

Sure, you got that right?

This is a one that I've been trying to get off the tip of my tongue and I keep forgetting.

And it

is Adam Duvall.

Oh, 16.

Ooh, what?

That's important.

I don't think that's true.

Sure, you looked up the right Duval?

Adam Duvall, who played for the Atlanta Braves and the Miami Marlins.

He played in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

In those years, he had zero home runs, I guess because he was a mid-season trade.

10, 16.

Oh, wait, there's one here, 38.

Billy's on his phone, but at 38.

With the year, he only had 16 with the Braves at here.

He had 22 with the Marlins.

Oh, no.

He ended the season with the Braves at 38 and no runs in it.

That's 240.

Oh, I don't think so.

It's however many home runs he hit with the braves.

The braves, the highest he ever had was only 16.

I don't know about 16.

100%.

Danny ruling?

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

16.

He says 16.

This isn't my ruling.

What's the number?

It was Danny B's ruling.

16.

16.

I'm going to say 38.

Ultimately, that's not how this is going to go.

All right.

Go ahead, Jeremy.

We were at 261.

Tamarin Hank Aaron.

Oh, wow.

That's a good one.

He's not.

in 1971.

He also had one, two, three, four seasons where he hit 44.

Too bad that doesn't help, Jeremy.

Nope, 47 only.

After four guesses each, Chris Cody sits at 244,

Billy sits at 261, and I sit at 220.

And now I guess Brian McCann as my fifth guess.

Brian McCann, 24.

He must have led the league at home runs during like COVID year, right?

Yeah, it must have been that.

My turn.

Oh.

Terry Pendleton.

Ooh.

That's not going to be very high up.

Nah, that's a great name.

Terry Pendleton, 22.

At 220.

I'm going to go ahead with Jason Hayward.

That's a good one.

Jason Hayward, 27.

Yeah.

That's not good.

Yeah, it's not great.

Uh,

what's that?

Let me.

Since we're, I'll just go with him.

He's got it.

He had to at least hit 30.

Jorge Soler.

Oh, yeah, for sure.

Not good.

Is this another example of the most home runs he had in a season was split between two teams?

Yeah.

And the most he had with the Braves was 14.

Oh my gosh.

I don't know if I trust this.

See?

All right, my turn.

World Series.

Yes, it's your turn.

Dan Ugla.

Nice.

That's such a good one.

Dan Ugla, a high number, 36.

Wow.

Here's a fun name.

Little hair.

Oh, he trusts.

Brian Giles.

I think you just said the wrong one.

He didn't like his brother did.

That counts though.

That is a binding guess.

Fine.

Because I'm going to guess his brother next, the second baseman.

Damn, that's what I was thinking.

Marcus.

Damn.

Why is this curse?

Nope, that's going to be a zero.

So I let you guys back in it.

I don't think Brian ever played.

Brian Giles, in fact, did not play Curtis.

Yep.

All right.

Damn it.

I'll guess.

No.

I'll guess Marcus Giles.

What a choke job that was.

Oh, no.

I just completely mixed up the Gileses.

Did you look over here, see Giles?

No, I just...

I had Giles on there.

Oh, what a disaster.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Cheater?

You have one guess on there.

It's really bad.

I can't can't believe it.

He has one guess on there.

We're getting definitely

a pretty solid guess from Cody, given the circumstance.

30-something, for sure.

15.

Actually, no, sorry, 21.

What?

Why would you?

I was off all the time.

Why would you get me excited saying that was a decent guess?

Well, you did a decent guess compared to Zero.

At 185 through 6 names.

No, you're not.

What do you mean?

I was at 2.

What did you say?

You said Martin Styles.

You can see my math here, each one.

All right, Nick Marcakis.

You're such a piece of tie.

You're an

God.

He for sure had 20-something.

Billy saved you from an embarrassing thing because Marcakis only...

Good.

14.

Good.

I meant that.

That's what I guess.

I deserve that.

That was on purpose.

Eddie Matthews.

Eddie Matthews?

Eddie Matthews.

How far back are we going, Eddie?

Eddie Matthews, deep pull in 1953.

He had 47 homes.

Yeah.

I mean.

Bitch.

Whoa.

You're more of a National League guy, Chris.

ultimately because of

because of the Marlins, right?

So the National League wildcard race is as entertaining as any because ultimately the Mets have been collapsing, right?

You got the Diamondbacks who've been surging.

They're just a game and a half out of that final wildcard spot.

You got the Reds and the Giants there just two games back.

Okay.

I know you've been watching the National League because that is the league that we've been discussing the most, right?

We're doing Braves trivia at the moment for a reason.

Ultimately, who do you think is going to be able to secure that final NL wildcard spot as we've got about a week to go?

Because I know, again, you've been watching a lot of Mets baseball because they're within the division with the Marlins.

So, can you give me a little bit of analysis on what you think is going to happen here?

I'm Red.

I'm going with the Reds.

Can you give me any analysis, Chris?

Reds.

All right, who are your MVP votes in each league?

You got Judge and Raleigh.

Can you please explain what your MVP votes are going to be in the National League, where you have, I guess, Schwarber alongside Shohei Otani,

and you have Kyle Raleigh alongside Aaron Judge.

Can you explain what you think the MVP vote should look like?

Look at me, I'm thick.

Kyle Raleigh, Kyle Schwarber.

That's the explanation.

Take it to the bank.

Frank.

Good show we have here.

Come on, you got this.

Can I give a subtle hint?

No.

No, it's fine.

What is the hint?

Just make it subtle.

Yeah, subtle.

There are just two guys on this list you really should know.

Wow.

That's all I'm going to say.

That's

a subtle hint.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

That's not subtle.

Say that one.

Alright, I got this.

I'm going to go with...

I literally have nothing.

Julio Franco.

I have nothing.

I just had to say a name.

I'm trying to think of the two names that he says we should know.

I know.

Julio Franco had nine.

Adani Cheveria.

That's the one I didn't want to say first.

I love that.

That was my my first time.

I love that you're just punting.

That no one was going to say.

I appreciate that.

Adani Hetcheveria was a really good shortstop who could not hit.

Yeah, he's not a power hitter at all.

It might be three.

Defensive-oriented shortstop.

No way.

Zero

as a brave.

To 189, he stays at.

Jeff Frank Core.

Yeah.

Frenchie.

29.

There you go.

See, that's a good one.

Let me get Dansby Swanson.

Ooh.

Wow.

Good one.

Swanson, 27.

Wow.

That's good.

Thank you.

I have an addendum.

Three, four, five.

Yeah, I have an addendum.

Seven.

Yeah.

Jeff Aria actually have four.

See?

He's been cheating me this whole time.

Okay.

Who are the two names?

Should we be thinking outfielders?

One of them for sure played outfield.

Okay.

I don't know if I believe that.

Just give us the initial, the first letter of, just, it's either their first or last name.

Oh, I love that.

Like, yeah, go for it.

Give us a first letter.

S.

I like this because I like this specifically.

I hope that helped.

Yeah, and because it's like your third to guess.

So now both of us at least have an actual power.

I get more TV.

Right.

S.

Initials S.

I don't have a clue.

Outfielder.

S.

This isn't helping me.

Do you want the other initial?

I'll give it out, even though you two are now.

Do you know it?

No.

I'm saying, like, should he give the other initial?

Give the other initial.

Give the other initial.

S.

Is it going to be...

SG.

So that is first letter, last name?

That's really interesting.

You don't know?

You're not going to tell me?

I'm not happy to tell you that.

It's really interesting because there's a guy I'm thinking of, but I don't the guy I'm thinking of I don't think ever played for the breaks.

Say it in risk a zero.

Oh, you know what?

You know who I'm gonna say?

Marcelo Zuna.

Oh, great one.

That's the other one.

That's one of them.

Marcelo Zuna.

2023.

He had 40 home runs.

Yeah, man.

145.

So 149 for Chris, 145 for Billy.

That was a big one, huh, Chris?

Chris and Billy already said.

So if you guys want to give Jeremy a nice one.

No, there we have.

I have one more.

Exactly.

But for the rest, I'll give you another hint on a different player.

Okay.

Okay.

He's a famous Yankee, but not not how you think.

Oh, well, there's a different one.

Mark Teixeira.

He hit.

I don't trust any of the numbers he's given us.

I see, we have the same bird.

Half a season for the Braves.

That's it?

Or two halves?

That is wrong.

Two halves of seasons.

It does seem like that is the case.

What was his career high in a half a season with the Braves?

17 and 20.

20?

Yeah, 20 is his high.

All right.

Thank you, Billy.

As I'm reading this.

As I live and breathe, it looks like 20 was as high.

Sean Green did not play for me.

Okay, so that's who I was thinking of, but there's no way.

I thought there's no...

Greg, Gary.

It's not Gary Sanchez.

Oh.

You got it?

Go.

Yeah, I got it.

Like, you got the one he's specifically.

I got it.

And I helped you.

The G's a last name.

Okay.

Greg Maddox.

Ooh, that's a good guess.

I like that guess.

Greg Maddox had two home runs.

Two home runs.

That's it?

You had a good season as a brave.

Gary Sheffield, dude.

Oh, shit.

Gary

Sheffield.

Gary Sheffield.

You're going to have to get the boy.

Gary hit home runs.

I said Gary.

That's why I said you guys should know who this is.

I said.

How many did he hit?

I'll tell you right now.

Oh, I'm nervous.

See again.

I'm nervous because now I'm going to have to get some home runs.

We may have a contest for him.

Gary Sheffield had 39 home runs.

Oh, nice.

Okay.

That wasn't good.

Yeah.

I thought, like, we may sneak in like compared to who's left.

32.

39.

I already lost.

All right.

Jeremy here showed up early so that I could tape the baseball breakdown with Chris Cody.

He's our guest today.

And I couldn't be more excited about that.

So by this point, you've probably watched what it is that we were working on together.

So I really hope you guys enjoyed his analysis.

It should have been something, hopefully, that is a little bit different than the bit of going on in this game with Billy.

But the important update here is that our math was wrong, as it was throughout the entire show.

So as you're about to see me think that I have 107 to Billy's 106, and I need to surpass him, ultimately,

we're going to go to a wild card round

bonus round here.

And that's because we thought I was at 107.

Turns out I was actually at 97.

I should have won in regulation.

And I was running late for reasons that you will see.

And Billy billied everywhere.

So enjoy the rest of this.

Shouldn't have been so stressful.

Hope the baseball analysis was better than the stress of that game.

Should I take a risk here

and say Tom Glavin?

I know he's hit at least a home run in the season.

He hit one home run his entire career.

All

Ember he has to get to a train.

Yeah, I like really gotta go.

It's not going to rush me out.

Billy, I swear to God.

Any other initial hits?

Billy, please.

Hold on.

Let me think.

I offered to let you go first, too, so I have more time to think.

I don't know either.

Sorry, Gabe.

He's the editor.

Do you have a guess or you don't have a guess?

No, I'm trying to think.

Do you see?

So why are you rushing me?

Seriously?

Like, it's going to take me 10 minutes to walk to the train.

It boards at two.

I have a guess and you just want to end it.

Okay, go ahead.

No, no, no, no, no.

I want to know how much I need to beat you.

You go first.

That's the order we've been in.

I don't know.

Going back and forth here.

All right.

I'm just going to say a name because I really, I do have to go.

Mike Jacobs play for the name?

I'll say Sean Murphy.

Okay.

I'm probably not going to beat that.

I don't know what he got to, but

I'm going to have to run run to the training.

You can do it, I believe you.

Chris can try to get a bad one.

I can't believe you did this to me.

Huh?

Yeah, you were an athlete.

You're a baseball player.

I were.

Sean Murphy had 21 in 2022.

Oh, I'm not going to beat that.

Can you please guess?

Jeff Blauser.

You're leaving before you even know.

Is it Ryan or Jeff?

Oh, my God.

Jeff Blauser.

Jeff Blauser.

But if Ryan has more, let's go with Ryan.

I feel like Jeremy pressured you into letting him.

What was the Yankee one that we missed before...

Just tell us that one.

What's the number?

Jeff Blauser, 17.

All right, what was the Yankee one that we missed?

The Yankee that you...

Not as you expected, Joe Torrey.

Alright, well, this is still under protest, so

that'll do it for this week's edition of Pitch Clock.

Everyone has left now, except for me.
