You guys realize how many people asked off this Thursday? It's a thin cast. I didn't put two and two. Wait, hold on. Sorry. I didn't put two and two together. Now look, I took a PTO day last Thursday. It was my first bi week at this thing, okay? But I've been here every week. This is absurd. Where do you go? I'm missing like four people. Where's Chris? Dude? He's like bucket day. Is he alive? He had a dental procedure. A dental procedure? Fitting doesn't have that dental at night. What about the other stuff that happened yesterday? Hmm, that is fine. It is curious. Didn't report in the chat? No, he didn't. It was a little backed up. I was out there for the fireworks. I had to leave the chat. No fireworks. Wow. Any Hoodles? Hey, Hoodles. Well, let's go into the bucket. The Duntek bucket. Yeah. Indianapolis Colts. They are a 6.5-point favorite against the Atlanta Falcons. I'm not gonna do much better than that. Oh wait, that's an away. That's an overseas game. I don't like overseas. 9:30 start. Why don't you like overseas? You should Xenopovic America first prowl. I like that actually. I'll keep it though. Indianapolis is America's team right now. Everybody's rooting for him. Everybody wants him to win. Let's see. Give a nice little rummage. Okay. That one right there. The Minnesota Vikings. Jason McCarthy look good. You got the red hot Baltimore Ravens though coming to town. Four and a half point dogs at home. Little surprising, I actually expecting the Ravens to go on this run. I actually like the. I'm gonna put it back by the way, but I like the Vikings as a home dog. Yeah, that's a live dog. That's a live dog. Two and a half a home live dog. Yeah. I just don't think. What is it? Live dog, dog. Oh, I've got the fine bucket plus death. Are you lost right away? This is my first loss of the season. Hold on. Is there any money in the fine bucket? Nope. I can't remember anyone getting fined. I was the last one to pull that one and took my. I don't know if I could get fin any. Was there anything in there? Yeah, there's a good bit of money. Just a loss at the bucket. Wait, that's all you got? What the hell? Yeah, that kind of sucks, man. Say a little PR. I had the San Francisco 49ers. They are playing. The Rams are four and a half point dog. So that's not happening. That's a live dog. Yeah. What is it? A live dog. I got the Rams completely flipped. Remember the live dog though. You're going up against a live dog. Is there really no money? Say it the way that Paul Rubb says it was the last time we heard anyone get fined on the show. I thought Dan said that he put like 500 bucks in there when like one time that Jess won and she was complaining about. And then Dan was like, yeah, 500 bucks. He's just making it up. Dan, give me 500. I got the Jaguars. They're at Houston. They got the Kobe Myers. I'm gonna keep it. Yeah. Wow. Davis Mills on the other side. No C.J. stroud, Jags Road phase one and a half points spread. I also kind of hate that. Hey Reaper, you smell really good. Like someone finally laundered your cowl. What is that called? Cow. Cowl. Like Simon Cow and Cow? No, that's Cowell. Even though you don't pronounce the name. Some cow. Oh. Thank you for your service. Oh, so you got a service? I'm in Navy. Air Force. Nice. All right. Army is a seventh point favorite against Temple. Navy is a 26.5 point dog against Notre Dame. Do that. And Air Force is a five and a half point dog against San Jose. You should take Navy. San Jose State's got a good little receiver. Navy only has one loss. You should take Navy. Oh, man, if I took them and they won, that would be so awesome. You can also get Coast Guard. What are they playing? Citadel. Wait, does it have to be football? They play in the Citadel. Hold on. Football. Does it have to be football? Can I get. No, I don't think. I can't get a basketball. You really want to trust them? The Avalanche walking through our door. I went to school with a guy that played the Navy, by the way. High school. He was pretty good. I got the Eagles. The Eagles are crying. They're on a bar, I think. No, no. Monday night. Good day. They're a one and a half point dog. Aquarium bar. You're sweat that out. I also like that as a live dog. That's a live dog. We got a lot of live dogs this week. What is it? Say it like Paul Rudd. Slow down. Okay. Slide dog, baby. There's really no money. Thank you. No money. Maybe I'll let you hold a dollar. We'll see on Monday. I was gonna say, let me get a couple of your stocks, buddy. We'll see. I love all those. I drool a lot, man. I don't know. Yeah, I drooled a lot on that one. Live dog is hard. Every time I spoke. That's a live dog. The camera caught one, I'm sure. It feels like everywhere you turn these days. There's another fee.

Don Levitard every cup, game and at what this is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats. Zaz yeah, what you think about LeBron's plan, man? Oh you look. I'm all over this. When, when when everybody sees what I've been saying. I just want to make sure y' all say props to Zazlow. Zazzle had it first. You see the Lakers, the Lakers last night won again. Yeah, they beat Wembanyama. That's right. The Lakers are 72 now. And ask me how many games LeBron James has played so far this season. Yo, Zaz, how many he hasn't played in any games? There's seven and two. LeBron's plan has completely backfired. You know LeBron. This is a silent protest. He does not have sciatica. It's total bullshit. He wants there to be this narrative. Oh, you don't want to sign me to a long term deal? Oh, you think that the team is Lucas. Oh, you're not going to allow me to be a part of decisions. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Time to throw away all journalistic credibility and get reckless. Here is something we like to call reckless speculation. You're good. Okay, so again, everything that I just said and you know that LeBron wants to come back when the Lakers are struggling. Well, the Lakers are really good without LeBron. This is unprecedented in LeBron's career right now where a team that LeBron is on without LeBron is really good cooking. This is exactly the opposite of what LeBron was going for. I don't know if he's ever even going to play the Lakers. He want. He wanted him to fall apart. Absolutely. When's LeBron going to be back? Absolutely. And now they're winning games without Austin Reaves. That's one issue. 77. What about him? He's not going to let that happen. That like LeBron's not there. Okay, great. The issue is usually the team would tank, but now they have a generation player who's there to be like, yeah, that's not going to happen. And the Lakers front office, their M.O. to start to look past LeBron to give the keys to Luca. Luca is the guy who they're consulting for decisions is all proving to be the correct path. And you know LeBron. If you hook LeBron up to a lie detector right now and asked him is he happy with the Lakers 7 and 2 start, that little meter is going to be flying all over the place. Nope. He is definitely not happy his plan has backfired. I man, it is kind of like staggering because also Luca was hurt. Luca missed games and they won. Through that they've been winning. They're a good basketball team, man. Austin Reeves didn't even play last night. Austin Reeves didn't play last night. Groin injury. Got to hate a groin injury. But like Jake LaRavia, aka who's number 12, he played well last night. He's been lining it up. He's been lining up, he's been shooting well. Deandre Ayton played well. How about that? I was surprised to see that even Bronnie had a basket. Well, okay, every once in a while, if LeBron leaves, Bronny goes with him, right? I don't know. Like, the obligation extinguishes immediately. I don't know. They're gonna cut him. He's not gonna go anywhere. Why would you keep him? But why would he leave? 3 mil? 4? Where's that going? I don't know. You gotta. You gotta aggregate. You think that he's got to make a call and be like, hey, I need to get traded to this? Absolutely. Wherever the old man is, you think the Lakers are all like, Yo, LeBron, when are you coming back? Please hurry up. No, no, no one's. No chance. No one's asked him. No one. No one's asked him. Plans backfired. He probably walked on the facility talking about feeling pretty good. He actually. They went to Shams yesterday during the. The pregame show, and it's like, all right, we got an update on the Braun. He's like, yeah, he's gonna start using doing 5 on 5 in the next, like, week. Always gonna ramp up. Even though it felt like late November was when things were gonna happen, now he's already on five. On five is bullshit. Gotta ramp up. Marcus. Smart man. He's still alive. Hey, he's not a good player. So happy when he takes a shot. Yep. Please take all the shots. It's a weird build of a team, right? Where it's like you have, like, Reeves and Luka, who are really good, and then it's like everybody else is kind of like this mismatched pieces of whatever they could get the scraps of. DeAndre Jake larvae was actually playing good. But then you got Marcus Smartrunner on there doing God knows what. Rui Hachimura turning a 17 foot turnaround jumper. They got whatever they could get their hands on, right? It's like, who's. Who's available? Yeah, it's. It's the supermarket, shop till you drop. And the first things they got are like, Austin, Reeves and Luca right here. And they're like, oh, this looks good, and just throw it on top. Aiden's kind of big. Wrap it around my neck like a python. So it's twofold, this conversation, right? Because you got the lakers, who are LeBron's plan is completely backfired, and the Lakers might be pretty good. And last night, you may have seen the New Orleans Pelicans. Good God. Now that team never wins and they don't need two in a row now. Yep. Both without Zion. All right. And you know who the New Orleans Pelicans won a road game against last night? Luca's former team. Yeah, that's right. The Dallas mavericks dropped a 2 and 6. So you have the Lakers, who are awesome, and Luca, for the most part, looks pretty good. And you have the Mavericks, who were sold, the Maverick fan was sold by Nico Harrison, that their window to win is right now. That team sucks. They're 2 6, and I don't know if anybody could have possibly seen this coming, but Anthony Davis never plays. How's Cooper looking, though? He has best game last night. He's been up and down. Like, he's been up and down. But again, it's one of those things where it's like he's being asked to play a position he's never played in his life. But that also wasn't what Nico Harrison sold the Mavericks fan. It's not about Cooper Flag growing and becoming a star, which he will most likely. No. It's that their window to win is right now, and this trade helps them do that. Right now, the team sucks and the guy they traded for is never available. Cooper Flag. By the way, last night he had this quote, which I loved. He says, this is the most I've lost since, oh, I think, ever. Like, it took him a second to realize, oh, wait, I've never lost this many games in my life. And that's what happens when you've lived a charmed life. He was beaten up on little white kids in Maine, and then he gets to Duke and he's like, beating up on college kids. And then you get to the NBA and it's like six losses in your first three weeks of the season. That's more losses than he's probably had his entire basketball team. He's not dominating like he would be in any of those levels. It's like, oh, no, this is grown man basketball. Plus, I get guarded 94ft and I have to take the ball up and create. He's going to be fine. Oh, for sure he's going to be fine. That's going to be good. Long term. Yes. In the long term, this is going to be good for him. They made a switch in their starting lineup last night. They benched Klay Thompson. They started d' Angelo Russell. That Is Klay Thompson's been woof. Good for him though. I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm happy for him. That tired legs like last year, he wasn't. He was kind of woofish. This year's been. I mean, like, here's one thing. Like, it makes me sad that Klay Thompson isn't a warrior. Not a lot of lift. But it's like they got out at just the right time and took the money that it would have been owed to him because you respect him. And now you take that money and they spent it on 8 billion different guys. They're a much deeper team. They're a better team. Let me ask you though, if he sustained the back to back injuries, his game would age with grace. Right? This is all just a career undone by the widowmaker in that sport. The. The Achilles and the acl, right? That. That back to back to get hurt while being hurt sucks like that. That's awful. But you know about that Cardi B, do you? He's Stefan Diggs. Yeah, you got. He's got his. He's got his black female rappers mixed up. Who is the one that he's with? Yeah, you know about that. Megan Thee. Stallion. Megan Thee. Stallion. Zazzle the sucker. Yeah. That was a sucker move. That was a sucker move by you. Congratulations on your suing nomination though. I gotta say, that was bad. Dude. Not. You have good teammates here. We'll lift you. Thanks. Over your clear and obvious racism. Thanks. I'm gonna say this, Zaz, because he won't be in tomorrow. Great week, but like, perhaps your most sucker week ever. What? You've been a sucker so many times. When else I sucker Braun Strowman. Sucker. Nah, I disagree, man. Braun Strowman retweeted me yesterday. How could Braun Strowman. How could Braun Strowman reteat someone who's a sucker? Pity. He pities the fool. You know about that. Wap. I like that song. What's it stand for? You know what it stands for. Don't make me say it. There we go. You know about that Octopussy. Yum. I can't believe you did that. I can't believe the Cardi B. I mean, I can't. I can't believe you did that. That's tough. I can see where Zaz was going though. Cardi B's been in the news because of Stefan Diggs and them having a kid together. Yeah, you should get that hair system because I could see the bead of sweat that formed on your forehead. You're bald. There was a brief moment. You're bald. There was a brief moment there where we all knew what happened, and then he knew what happened, and there was just a little half a beat, like, how do we spin this win for the old Jay Z? The answer is we don't. We don't. You just sit in it, sucker. Admit it. Like a sucker. It's a little bit of a sucker. A little bit. Pitch clock is next. Yum. With prejudice. This time of year, it's a lot. Lights, noise, pumpkin, spice. It's everywhere. But one feeling that we are all still chasing is coziness. And Bombas has the socks, slippers and tees, basically everything to get you there. There's something oddly therapeutic about a fresh pair of socks.

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 Don Levatar show with the Stugats. Na na na na na na na na. Hey, hey, hey. Goodbye. Hi, everybody. Are you sad it's the last episode? Nah, don't be sad. 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. It's the final episode of this season of the Pitch Clock. I already did. Hi, everybody. Yeah, you did. In the cold open. That's how anxious we were to get this thing started. So I've got. I've got some news. We have the results of the World Series winner. Obviously, that's the Los Angeles Dodgers. I also have in hand the results of our head to head Trivia from throughout the year. I'm not going to to reveal those yet because this game might play a factor into what the ultimate head to head results are. Adnan Virg's joining us as a sad Canadian to talk about the Blue Jays losing to the Dodgers. We'll get to that in just a moment. But Ethan, what is our apparently new and creative trivia game for our last game of the regular season. And folks will be back. Last game of the regular season. Well, all right. You suck, Ethan, what is it? So before we get started, I have a number in my head, okay. Between one and ten. Jeremy, take a guess. Seven. So you could just make it up. Take a guess. Four. It is four. Jeremy, leave the room. Wow. What's his name? Adnan Virk. Now with us as our 2025 MLB expert. The last time I get to say that here in 2025, the World Series has ended. It was maybe the greatest World Series of any of our lifetimes. It was spectacular. It was an extra innings game seven showdown and an incredible baseball game that was played. The Dodgers overcome the Blue Jays. They win the last couple of games on the road. Adnan Virk, we're going to put the, the Canada stuff aside for just a second and I'm just going to ask you, as someone who covers the game of Major League Baseball, as someone who is a fan of major League Baseball, what was your reaction to this World Series? It was unbelievable. Just watching those games and the ups and the downs and the thrilling cascades of emotion for the Dodgers. They are the heart of the champion. Just incredible resolve and composure to be down three, two and to win games six and seven on the road when your offense was sputtering, Yamamoto is nothing short of heroic. I don't know about your lovely lady, but my wife is not an avid baseball fan, but even she was glued to game seven and she said, this guy's like Bum Garner. And I said, yeah, she's a Giants fan. Love that. And I said, in some ways Mad Bum is more impressive. In some ways it's less impressive. She goes, what do you mean? I said, it's less impressive because Mad Bum pitched more of Game 7 against the Royals in 2014. He pitched five innings. But it's less impressive because Yamamoto is doing this on zero days rest. He just pitched game six and he woke up the next morning and now he's pitching game seven, two and two thirds in like the highest stakes possible. Like, it is nothing short of heroic what Yamamoto did for his team. And in terms of great Stories. It's why you and I love the sport so much. We are avid sports fans, of course, we love basketball and hockey and football. But what about baseball makes it the most special, is that when you're two outs away from losing the World Series, it's not Mookie Betsy, it's the home run or Freddie Freeman or Shohei Ohtani or Will Smith or Max Muncie, but Miggy Rojas, the number nine hitter who crushes sliders and gets a slider that hangs. And he can be the hero, and he can be the guy who doesn't make a smooth, effortless play at second base. He looks staggered, like a drunk in double clutches. But someone makes the play as Smith's got cleat, goes up and then goes down. And it's the sport in which Andy Pahas, who had done nothing offensively, is in the game, ostensibly for his defense and makes one of the greatest catches of all time. It's what makes the sport so special. So full credit to the Dodgers. This is not a situation, I think, Jeremy, where people said if the Dodgers win, it's bad for the sport. I think it was great for the sport. They're a Goliath. You love them or you hate him. That's three World Series in six years. Props to them. They deserved it. They really did. And like you said, I mean, those stories, right? To have Miguel Rojas, who began his career with the Dodgers with Don Mattingly as his manager, to end it against Don Mattingly, on the other side is the bench coach of the Blue Jays. And Rojas, who's really only in the game because Pajes had been struggling so much and they shuffled around that lineup. He makes a defensive play. Pahes makes a defensive play. Obviously, the Mazarovsky moment for Rojas, it's so spectacular. And I mean, obviously, the fans of this show know I. I couldn't get enough of it. It was a perfect World Series. And I'm so grateful to, for everyone who followed along this show this year that they got to have a postseason that looked like this one. But now I'm just going to ask you, right? As a Canadian, we talked about what it would mean if, on our episode last week, we talked about what it would mean if Canada was able to bring this World Series home. I think we all sort of anticipated that they would if not for these heroic efforts, really, by Yamamoto, who ends up being the best Japanese player on the Dodgers in the Series, despite Shohei Ohtani having the Series. That he did. But as a Canadian adnan how does this one feel? What's your reaction from that standpoint? It was awesome, man. I mean, the patriotism, the excitement. The numbers are robust, by the way. We talked about it. Yeah, please brag on it. We had 7 million people watching game one of the World Series. For a country of 41 people, to extrapolate that to Americans, which are 330 million, that's like 65, 70 million people watching a baseball game, it's unbelievable. Game seven in America was 31 million. An average of 27 hit 31 million by comparison. And again, you and I are basketball fans. I'm not trying to besmirch another sport. No, but please, the NBA finals, this was 53% higher. Baseball was 53% higher than the NBA's game seven. So don't tell me basketball is great. Listen, Thunder Pacers, you couldn't even touch Dodgers, Blue Jays. And the rating, you only could count for one of the teams because Nielsen doesn't count the Canadian households. Right? So the numbers for Dodgers, for the Blue Jays and Dodgers was actually the equivalent of Yankees Dodgers last year. And as Fox said, the biggest thing is the number of games last year is only five games this year went 7.15.7 million people on average watch baseball. That's a huge win for the sport. Especially when an entire country of Canada was into it. First world series in 32 years. The thought was Dodgers starting pitching without pitch, the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays starting pitching had a better era. The Blue Jays out hit them, they played great defense and they still lost the World Series. It's absolutely crushing. Good news is Shane Bieber opted in. He could have got $100 million contract. He opted in $16 million next to Rich Toronto. That's great. I think Boba Shet's probably gone. Maybe they can resign him. But hell of a season. Try to focus the positives. Springer dinger in Game 7 of the ALCS. You savage. Game 5 World Series. Vladi's entire postseason was incredible. But it still hurts. So Cody, all right, what we're gonna do is we're gonna see how well how much you learn this postseason. So inside that packet gonna be a sporkle like game. Okay? You have every single packet in front of you. You can go to anything you want. I'm gonna put a five minute clock on, okay? You just throw out names at me, okay? And I'm gonna give you get a point each time you get an an. Oh, so this. Okay, my bad. These are all of the games that we played during this postseason. Okay. Okay, so it's. You have, like, the 2005 Dodgers, the 2005 Blue Jays, the 2001 Cleveland baseball team, the 2001 Mariners. And then you have MVPs and the final outs. Remember the pitchers that were the final outs? That's the game we played during game five of the World Series. So I'll count you in. It'll be a three, two, one count. You have five minutes to start. Just throwing things at me. Ready? Three, two, one. Go Dodgers. All right, this. I forget what year this was, but we're cooking here. This is Hysop Troy at first base for the Dodgers. Correct. I'm gonna keep cooking. Yep.

I'm, like, stressing out now. Big Poppy. Not on this list. Mike Lowell. Yes. Oh, whoa. Big Poppy's on the other list. I'll give it to you because we're a Sporkle style. Yeah, yeah. Sporkle style. Paul Canerco. Paul Canerco was not the World Series mvp. Kurt Schilling. Yes. He was one of. He was one of two for the Diamondbacks. I'll give you both points if you get them right. Madison bumgarner. Yes. In 2014. Correct. Oh, and you said Madison Bumgarner. And I'll give you two points because he got the last out of the 2014 World Series as well. All right, let me actually. All right. Josh Beckett. Yep. Uihara Uehara. Yes. One minute left. I mean, come on. There's one. You gotta have Marian Rivera. Of course. That's two. Keith Falk. Yes. Darren Erstadt. No. You love that name. You love that name. Frazier Nodd Fraser. I don't know. I know what you're thinking. Freeze. Yes. David Freeze was the World Series MVP in 2011. Young. Young Kim. Seconds. Nope. I don't know. I don't know. All right. Five, four. Alex Rodriguez. Derek Jeter. Derek Jeter won a World Series mvp. I'll give you that point. And you're done right there. Dude, you did good. All right, let's get to these next couple of questions with some pace here as. As we're wrapping up the pitch clock because they're. They're pretty simple. I want the first one. Your takeaways from 2025 Major League Baseball season overall, great year for the sport. Attendance goes up. Third straight season, national ratings were up on espn, on MLB Network and on Fox. And just good stories abound. Not only the Milwaukee Brewers, 97 wins, the most wins in baseball. Nobody saw that coming. So you get your smaller markets. Detroit's obvious been a great baseball city for a long time and get them back in the playoffs. But also Cleveland. The way they finished the season was incredible. Seattle winning the division for the first time in a long time. Getting to within one win of the World Series would have been their first in 50 years. Obviously, Toronto getting back, first time since 93. And in the National League, I mean, listen, sometimes good stories are stories of futility. The Mets spend all that money. They were 83 and 79. It is always fascinating to watch a car crash and figure out what the Mets will do this offseason. The Dodgers end up winning the World Series, but San Diego had a good year. Philadelphia had a great season. They won 96 games. The Phillies, as Alex Abila said to me, everyone says, oh, the Phillies window is closing. The last seven seasons, their win total has increased every single year. Hopefully they can resign Kyle Schwaber. And still the guy who for me is must see TV is Paul Skeens. What he did this season. Sub two era. I'm going to win another Cy Young win. His first son. Excuse me. Unbelievable. Great year for the sport. Great year for the sport. We talked about it all year long. It's a golden era for stars. And so many of those teams you just mentioned have those individual stars like the big dumper people who captivated sports fans to bring them over to Major League Baseball. And then finally let's talk about those people moving Forward heading into 2026. We're not going to be gone for too long here with the pitch clock. Look out for us to come back in the next, you know, hopefully few weeks. But as we look ahead toward 2026, what are some of the things that you're looking forward to Adnan, whether that be teams, players or just sort of overall in Major League Baseball? Well, I'll be at the winter meetings in Orlando in a month. Hopefully you will join me there for special pitch Clock edition. Let's do it. Yeah. I look forward to award season in November. I think a hotly contested race is NL Rookie of the year Kate Horton versus Drake Baldwin. Love the Drake for most of the year Baldwin was the guy but Horton was incredible in the second half. And of course the MVP race which you mentioned Judge versus Raleigh in 2012 Miggy won it because of triple crown even though Trout had the better numbers according to war very similar race in that judges numbers across the board are better if you look at history saw Raleigh first catcher ever 60 home runs that time Miggy won. I think this time Judge wins mvp. But I'm really curious how the race is going to go down. I mentioned Skeins the fact he doesn't have a winning record. He's going to win the sign which is amazing and yeah what moves are gonna already the moves are coming down. Trevor Story ops in he's staying with the Red Sox. Imana Aga not resigned by the Cubs. That's pretty shocking. Three years, 57 minutes he's going to hit the open market. I I'm genuinely surprised that they're not resending Imanaga. They must really like Kate Horton. Maybe they'll just give Inaga a qualifying offer. But those free agents out there, what's Bellinger going to get? What's Bregman going to get? What's Kyle Tucker going to get? Pete Alonzo Lots of major names to look forward to. Yeah, lots of fun. Lots of stuff coming up. And that's all before we get back into another really exciting year of major League Baseball. Adnan, thank you so much for being our constant superstar here. You win the MVP of the pitch clock this year but you know what we're also going to find out is who ultimately won the most trivia games between Chris Cody and myself. That's what's coming up right now. Just let me know when you're ready. I'll count you in. Three, two, one. Jeez. How much time are we gonna give? Three, two, one, go. Okay. Blue Jays. Vernon Wells.

Whatever. Yep. George Springer. Yes. First Astros. Yeah. Madison Bumgarner. Yes. And you get him for another point as well. Since you said his name, he got the last out in 2014. Nice. Thank you. Cody Ross. Chef Sa. No, no. Marco Scudo. No. NLCS MVPs. Oh, my God. That's why I remember them. If you get, like, three in a row wrong, you should lose a point. No. Relax. You have three minutes left. No problem. 180 seconds. Yeah, this is. I don't like this anymore. Coming back to last out. Brian Wilson. Okay. Yep. Madison Bumgarner. We already got that. Yep. Bobby Jenks. Yes. It's. It wasn't Jason Marquis. It was somebody else. Yep. You did learn different jm Yep. Jason Mott. That's correct. Learning it. Yeah. Josh Beckett. Yep. Really? Slow down. Don't rush. And since you said his name, you get him for the World Series MVP as well. Mariano Rivera. T. Twice. Don't be given. Oh, you did. Okay. Mariano Rivera twice. Yes. I can't remember. The Angels. Jonathan Papelbaum for 1 1. The first one. The first one. Okay. And you guys both get Mariano Rivera for World Series mvp. Cody, you're cool. Oh, you get one more point. Yeah. Wade Davis. Yes. Ichiro Suzuki. Go around the diamond. Ichiro back on. On 01 Mariners. Sorry. Yes. Interesting. Brett Boon. Yes. Okay. Is there a question mark there? Yeah. Because I hate you. Jeff Kent on Dodgers. Yes. Jeff Kent was on the Dodgers. Is Omar Vasquel on the. The Cleveland team? Yes, he was. Eric Hinsky on the Blue Jays. Yes. Corey Koski on the Blue Jays. Yes. 20 seconds. I hate. Stop it. That's. Is that Greg Zahn behind The plate? Yes. 10. Stop it. 50 seconds. 50 seconds. Oh, you jerk. Adrian Beltre for the Mariners. Third base. No. Okay. Have I gotten other World Series MVPs? Derek Jeter. Yes. Whoa. How many times are we gonna give him credit for Jeter? What are you talking about? That's the first time I have him down for Jeter. Yeah, that's the first time I said it. There's that other Blue Jays guy. It's not Joe Carter. Who is it? 25 seconds. Shoot. The Angels. I didn't actually get that one. But it's not Garrett Anderson. It is. It's not Tim Salmon. Is it Darren Urstadt? No. Think about that. Royals outfielder. No. Stop it. Center fielder. No. Big poppy. Poppy. One in 20. Yes. Nice. Thirteen. Five. Four, three, three, two, one. Last guess. One. Catcher. It was Salvi Perez in 26. 2015. Oh, my God. What? We have a tie. Oh, my God. Yeah, it's 35. 35 did not sound very. It's 35. 35. No, it's 35. 35. I promise. So what's. So what's the tiebreaker? So what is the tiebreaker? I did not consider that there would be a tiebreaker. Cody, who is the World series MVP in 2023? Stupid game. I know. Can you tell me who won? No, don't. No. The Texas Ranger. The Texas Rangers won the World Series in 2023. It's right. It's right there. I got this one. Didn't I get this one earlier? Corey Sear. Yes. Yeah. You got it. Yes. I just need to find it. Congrats on the Tide. So I won. Cody. Cody wins. So who won the season series? The winner of the entire series. Can I. Can I just say that I can tell by Jeremy's vibe it's Jeremy. Yeah, it's me by one. Oh. Even after this one. After that win, it's me by one. I was up by two and ready for this. I was up by two. We had three weeks this year where we included someone else in the trivia with us, and that person won all three weeks whenever we added someone else. So what I wonder is what would have happened if it's been head to head, who did better those three weeks? Great question. Doesn't really matter. I won. Did you? I won. What was the final score? I won. I don't know. Who tracked this? I won. I don't. Shout out to Gabe. Winner. I love it. Gabe. Looking around, he's like, afraid to look at me. You're dead to Chris. Hey, we'll be back with Pitch Clock. Pretty soon. Hopefully. See you then. And if not, you know what's coming. Bye, everybody. Pitch. Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here? Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo. The tequila that invented tequila. Roximo. Cuervo. Com. Please drink responsibly. Cuervo.
