Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here?

[Chris Cody]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan LeBatard]

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.

[Mike Schur]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Jeremy]

Evan Williams, Kentucky straight bourbon with Bardstown, Kentucky. No, you are doing so well. I've been on such a. You're doing so well, Chris.

[Chris Cody]

His company.

[Taylor]

Let's do that.

[Charlie]

He has so much confidence.

[Jeremy]

Give it to me from the top, man. Give it to me from the top, please.

[Charlie]

He's a burbie.

[Jeremy]

He's a burbie.

[Taylor]

Stat of the day brought to you by Evan Williams Bourbon game day's number one pour. Evan Williams Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey Bardstown, Kentucky. 43 to 45% alcohol by volume enjoy. Responsibly.

[Stugotz]

21.

[Jeremy]

For two guys.

[Charlie]

Chris said Burby. We officially don't need to go to game five. According to espn, Paige Beckers holds the highest career per game scoring average, 19.9 points in Huskies history.

[Chris Cody]

There you have it.

[Jeremy]

That's quite a great history, too.

[Chris Cody]

More than Maya Moore.

[Charlie]

He's a gak.

[Chris Cody]

More than Rebecca Lobo.

[Charlie]

Yeah, a lot of players have played there, Stewie. And yet she stands apart right now. Also, I mentioned a stat in the last segment about her last three games. 105 points, best in Huskies history.

[Chris Cody]

She's amazing.

[Charlie]

She's on a tear right now, which is why I picked UConn to win in the Final Four game this weekend.

[Chris Cody]

She talks that talk, too. That's what I like about her. You know, you can tell is the playlist is a little urban.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, I met her at her friend.

[Chris Cody]

She seemed paid in full. You know, you could tell. You can tell.

[Jeremy]

Definitely.

[Chris Cody]

Two America's. Cody, I'll let you borrow a shot.

[Jeremy]

Every day, B. Yeah, I had to call them they.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. Yeah. But some words, they do the they.

[Jeremy]

And then you got to be careful. That's why I had to be careful. Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

This won't happen again.

[Jeremy]

I feel like the tournament this year has been really fun, but what I haven't had is the guy who we just met. Like, you know, where we just meet a guy for the tournament, and then he's, like, great for a second, and.

[Chris Cody]

Then Ali Farouchmanek, bam. Is that my guy?

[Jeremy]

That's a good one.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

We did a top five list last week of, like, Tony's secret sauce players, I guess.

[Jeremy]

Oh, like, was pit snoggle on there? The secret sauce was just white guys?

[Charlie]

Pretty much. Yeah.

[Stugotz]

It was Tony's list.

[Chris Cody]

You gotta be careful with that with me. We might have a segment here coming forward. That is true. Celebrating white people. You know what I mean?

[Jeremy]

Golf. You can't tease that entire.

[Chris Cody]

When I had my show in Atlanta, you know, the first day of March, I did White History Month, celebrating average white athletes who have been overlooked in the years.

[Taylor]

Thank you for that.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, somebody had to, you know, somebody had to extol the virtues of John Konkak and Carl Mecklenburg and John Konkak, people of that ilk. You feel me? Chris Dudley didn't do. Do what he did in his career for someone not to shine a light on.

[Taylor]

Was I, Oli? You know, I had a hit off Matt Latos in my high school career.

[Jeremy]

Really?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

Congratulations.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you.

[Stugotz]

I believe you.

[Chris Cody]

I knew that.

[Taylor]

Seems sincere.

[Chris Cody]

It is. It is. Everything about me is. Ask Jackie with the mid, you know.

[Charlie]

Well, that's why we wanted to do a top five list of athletes who maybe were overlooked in March Madness history.

[Taylor]

Oh, I get to read again. That's fun.

[Jeremy]

Oh, you're reading it.

[Taylor]

This top five, sponsored by Jimmy John's. They're finally here, and they're hot. Try the new toasted sandwiches at Jimmy John's. Order one today.

[Chris Cody]

Shorter swing on that one. You know, your hips were flying open on the first one, but shorter swing.

[Charlie]

He still said burby.

[Dan LeBatard]

Hitting for contact.

[Chris Cody]

I think I'm gonna call it that from here on.

[Jeremy]

If. If I hold. If I meet one rock. If I meet somebody and they call it burby, I know that person got a problem. They got a real problem. Don't you have a cute nickname for poison like that?

[Chris Cody]

Like nose beers? Yeah.

[Stugotz]

You know what's funny?

[Taylor]

O L I what's not poisoned? Jimmy John's.

[Jeremy]

Not at all.

[Chris Cody]

Shout out. Listen, Jimmy John's.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

Oli Jimmer for dead.

[Jeremy]

Oh, I know. Is this gonna be all right? I don't want to ruin it. I feel like this might be a similar list to the other list.

[Charlie]

I don't know. Number five, Cooper flag.

[Jeremy]

Hold on.

[Chris Cody]

Wait a minute.

[Charlie]

Number four, Zion Williamson.

[Jeremy]

Oh, okay. Well.

[Charlie]

Number three, Caitlin Clark.

[Jeremy]

Oh, we back.

[Taylor]

I see what we're doing.

[Chris Cody]

We back.

[Charlie]

Number two, Steph Curry.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, oh, wait a minute.

[Charlie]

So the March Madness performances, we never talk about guys. We're always talking about the secret sauce guys.

[Stugotz]

What about number one?

[Jeremy]

I remember him. He was so cute.

[Charlie]

Michael Jordan.

[Chris Cody]

So wrong, but so right.

[Jeremy]

I mean, it's true. These guys are there. We don't talk about their March Madness performances at all.

[Dan LeBatard]

Carmelo.

[Jeremy]

Oh, Carmelo.

[Charlie]

That's a good one.

[Chris Cody]

Would have been timely shoot. Do a better job.

[Charlie]

All right.

[Stugotz]

Make your own list.

[Charlie]

This was my list.

[Stugotz]

Do you remember that guy, Andrew Lovedale on that Davidson team? That's who I remember from that Elite eight run.

[Chris Cody]

Of course, Charlie.

[Jeremy]

I remember.

[Chris Cody]

Charlie finds the person who he can resonates with him relate to.

[Jeremy]

I bet you Andrew Lovedale's dad probably also looked at him and said, be an athlete for once.

[Chris Cody]

Or no.

[Charlie]

He was like, we support you, son. We'll do whatever it takes.

[Chris Cody]

And Andrew Lovedale looked at his dad and said, you weren't there.

[Jeremy]

You ain't see it. You ain't see it. You tell me to cut back.

[Charlie]

I tried to cut back. It went off me.

[Chris Cody]

I love this time of the year. The festival of missed Jump Shots. That is the NCAA Tournament. You know what I mean?

[Jeremy]

But now we're at this Final Four. That's a hilarious name for it, but at this current Final Four, I feel like maybe it's not that we gotta. Really.

[Charlie]

No, I mean, the Elite Eight round was. There were some rough. Look at the numbers, both sides.

[Chris Cody]

Nothing says college basketball like swinging to an open shooter who you know is gonna miss it. You know, show me the. That's why the Cinderella stuff is overplayed for me. Show me the pros. I am here to watch the pro. Have your cheerleaders, you can have your bands, you can have your allegiances to a better time, when you were skinnier and cooler in life, in college. I'm here to watch professional players.

[Jeremy]

There are quite a few. Well, I guess if you. By percentage, maybe not. But there are a lot of pros in this Final Four.

[Chris Cody]

There's old dudes pushing around kids is what they're like. When Rick.

[Jeremy]

Well, I mean, the dudes.

[Chris Cody]

When Rick Pitino could look in a camera and say, yeah, we ain't. We ain't recruiting any high school players. We just go into the transfer portal. Jani broom is, what, 28 years old, pushing people around like.

[Jeremy]

But, I mean, the Duke guys are young enough. Young. And Cooper Flag's young. They're young.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, but, you know.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, you know.

[Chris Cody]

You know why I'm here. I can't believe you. Hey, how about the Duke guys? Do we. You said Con, Knipple and Cooper flags.

[Charlie]

I've been trying to come up with, like, a Top five Athletes who Connote Breasts list for, like, three weeks now, and Knipple is really all I got. Like, I have Gibson.

[Stugotz]

That's exactly where I was.

[Charlie]

Booby Feaster is. But that's a deep cut, so.

[Jeremy]

Not booby. Gibson's not a deep cut.

[Charlie]

Yeah. Okay, so I have two now.

[Chris Cody]

I'd love to make one up, but. Probably get me kicked off.

[Charlie]

It's hard.

[Mike Schur]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

Well, is there anyone named Cans. I don't know.

[Chris Cody]

Bombs McGee? Is that what we're going with here? You can't take us down this road.

[Jeremy]

Okay.

[Chris Cody]

Yes.

[Charlie]

Texas Rangers this year, I guess.

[Jeremy]

Oh, that's right. Well played. I wanted to get into the dopeness of intricacies. It's a phrase that you coined just a few segments ago.

[Chris Cody]

Open mouth to say things.

[Stugotz]

What about Tito Horford?

[Chris Cody]

Yikes. Wow.

[Stugotz]

Yikes. That's how you pronounce it, right? Tito?

[Chris Cody]

Yikes.

[Jeremy]

The dopeness.

[Stugotz]

I love him.

[Charlie]

Just shitting on Jeremy all day, but in A. In an earnest way.

[Stugotz]

It's great because it's totally changing the normal structure. Yeah.

[Charlie]

We all roll our eyes and we're like, ugh, shut up, Jeremy. And you're like, yikes, that's a bad joke.

[Chris Cody]

Is that how you feel you're treated here, Jeremy? How I feel?

[Stugotz]

It's just a fact.

[Chris Cody]

Now talk about it, though, man. We just went through our damn trial.

[Stugotz]

Everyone knows I talk about it pretty openly.

[Chris Cody]

Do people just say, shut up, Jeremy? And then.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, literally, like, almost every day. Yeah, that'll be the last segment.

[Chris Cody]

You're strong.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, it's because I, like, have.

[Taylor]

We follow our leader and Dan hates him.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, he does.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, you're the.

[Stugotz]

I don't know what it is.

[Chris Cody]

You're the Tony Ku. Coach of the.

[Charlie]

He also hates us too, though, Chris.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, but he hates me in a different way. In a way where he, like, you.

[Charlie]

Know, you don't feel you're not special.

[Stugotz]

I know.

[Chris Cody]

Damn.

[Stugotz]

But see, this is just. I just try hard and everyone sees it and it's annoying. I know. It is a theater, kiddo.

[Mike Schur]

What are we doing?

[Chris Cody]

Ditto. It's tough. That's tough.

[Stugotz]

That was tough.

[Chris Cody]

That's tough. You know, punishment from here.

[Stugotz]

We don't let him off the hook for that. It was me.

[Chris Cody]

It doesn't seem like he's ever been let off the hook, though.

[Stugotz]

You thought it was me. You thought it was him. But, yeah, similar voices. Yeah, it was me, dude.

[Chris Cody]

It seems like something Chris would say.

[Stugotz]

It does. Hand up. My bad. I just.

[Chris Cody]

Chris.

[Stugotz]

Chris seems more like a titto guy. I tried to give it to him.

[Taylor]

The funny thing is, Jeremy, like, said it to the room.

[Mike Schur]

That's good. Oh, Jesus.

[Taylor]

Jeremy said it to the room and I even waved it off.

[Jeremy]

I was like, yeah, not that one.

[Chris Cody]

It's one of those they all sounded like moments. Huh, Charlie? That was tough. Oh, he's more of an ass, man.

[Jeremy]

I've been trying. Yeah, well, playing.

[Chris Cody]

I tried to tell my family that I was coming here to do, you know, hard charging sports talk.

[Charlie]

Did you not know which show you were going on?

[Chris Cody]

I do get the show. I do get the show and understand the show, but I didn't think it would be this fun.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, it's a tough thing to be like, I'm going to Miami for work.

[Chris Cody]

Do you just wait. I'll explain to you how tough it is when we leave the show. This is the first time I've left home. I don't know how long. The last time I left home was to Do Dominique's show. And my baby came 12 hours into the trip, right. So I had to go back home. Now it's like anytime I leave, there's a catastrophe.

[Jeremy]

Your wife probably don't like me, huh?

[Chris Cody]

No, she loves you.

[Jeremy]

No, she don't.

[Chris Cody]

No, she loves you.

[Jeremy]

The two times once you come to New York and leave her alone. You made it back in time. I didn't leave her alone. No, I'm saying from her perspective. You left her alone. She didn't feel that way on the doorsteps of pregnancy. You made it back in time. And then the next time that you come to do something with in for me, you in the BBL capital of the world, she gotta be looking at me like I'm trouble.

[Chris Cody]

Well, she knows that the BBLs really aren't my thing. Okay, okay. I'm a titto guy. Yeah, yeah, I'm a ditto guy. Exactly. You know, I mean, shout out to her. You know, she provides the tittle Horford in my life.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, okay.

[Chris Cody]

I'm really not a BBL guy.

[Jeremy]

I mean, I like a natural, you.

[Chris Cody]

Know, more natural look.

[Jeremy]

But I mean, the bee. Everyone appreciates the bee.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, yeah. Without question. Yeah. Shout out to the bees.

[Jeremy]

I've been trying to get to the dopeness of intricacies for a while and I really wanted to talk about the dopeness. No apologies needed because none of those detours are anyone's. I regret, I love it, but I feel as though we're getting to the end of this conversation, so I'm going to steer it back to the dopeness of intricacies. And I know that this is something that Charlie complains about in the past with, like, film guys and. But this is different. What I really like, and one of the things in my social media algorithm right now is player, football player explains the mental part of the game. And I saw Luke Keakley the other day explaining how him and Thomas Davis outsmarted a quarterback. And like, whenever those things come up, I am enthralled because. And like, I have experience telling these stories myself, having been around Ed Reed and Ray Lewis, guys who are like really, really smart guys, I hate to use the word geniuses, but, like, they're advanced thinkers. And when it comes to the game. And I love those clips on the Internet and I don't feel like I see them for all sports. Sometimes I'll hit, I'll hear a baseball guy explain how he worked a picture or understood something. But football is the sport that has the level of complexity that allows for that. It's so rare to hear, like the basketball guys talk about how they saw this play and they said this. But I did see one in the tournament where I think it was Painter. No, it was Samson. I think they, the, the team that they were playing against were defending the inbound, pulling off the on ball guy every time. And then at the end they had a play designed and I was like, oh, I saw somebody explain it to me. I was like, oh, I love the dopeness of intricacies.

[Chris Cody]

The dopeness of intricacies. By the way, you could buy that album wherever you stream your albums. I think it happens because. Or doesn't happen enough because it gets programmed out of people by people who think that fans aren't smart enough, to use a layman's term, smart enough to, to understand these things. Like I've seen players who have to boil it down to something that the listener or the consumer doesn't need it boiled down to. And then after a while, all you're doing is talking in cliches and sound bites. And anytime I can hear a baseball player talk about their front shoulder or what's happening, you know, changing the eye level in terms of pitch sequence, all those things make you smarter and more. It makes you feel like you're more involved as a fan. But, but you've got program directors, you've got producers, you got people who keep it as dense as you possibly can because our audience doesn't understand it. Guess what? You, you alienating your offense and insult, insulting your audience by not telling them what's going on on the field. And also they, they, they like to attribute those things to nothing but instincts. That's film work. Yeah, that's film work. That's, that's someone doing their homework. And then, you know, acing the test on the field.

[Jeremy]

I mean, I think what it comes down to is if it is jargon latent, like if you can explain something that happened on the field in a way that is not full of jargon, that the person gets conf. That the listener gets confused. It's different.

[Chris Cody]

But every man do that, though. Every man who walks into a bar is like, hey, you know, I, I know what a cover. Look, certain men, I should say, I know what a Cover 2 is like. You feel emboldened and you feel like you're a part of the process. Like the jargon, you know, calling curveballs yakkers and Uncle Charlie's. Back in the day, you never heard Uncle Charlie. It feels racist. It's Baseball.

[Jeremy]

I've never heard. I didn't play baseball. A yacker.

[Chris Cody]

I didn't. I didn't play baseball either.

[Jeremy]

So, you know. Well, I mean, you.

[Chris Cody]

I've been around it for a while.

[Jeremy]

A yakker is a curveball.

[Taylor]

I have not heard that one. But Uncle Charlie.

[Jeremy]

Uncle Charlie.

[Taylor]

Uncle Charlie, I definitely heard.

[Chris Cody]

Don't say that. Yeah. What? Uncle Charlie.

[Jeremy]

I don't like it.

[Chris Cody]

Is this you with Uncle Charlie?

[Jeremy]

No, no. You can say it. I just didn't like the way that it sounded with Chris. Said Uncle Charlie.

[Chris Cody]

I'm.

[Taylor]

You said it, and I was like, yeah, I've heard that one.

[Jeremy]

I know.

[Taylor]

Did I even say.

[Dan LeBatard]

You didn't say.

[Chris Cody]

You didn't.

[Jeremy]

Damn it, I said it.

[Dan LeBatard]

Damn it.

[Taylor]

Chris Internet lives forever.

[Mike Schur]

Chester Taylor, Blackest show ever.

[Charlie]

I have a top five list, Chester.

[Jeremy]

Oh, we got a top five list. You look so excited about this top five list. I'm nervous.

[Charlie]

Thanks, Oli. The Minnesota Twins.

[Jeremy]

Oh, I know what top.

[Chris Cody]

The Twinkies.

[Charlie]

Jug McSpaden, Jordan, Tata.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, there we go.

[Taylor]

We're back.

[Charlie]

Number five, Jesse Rack. Number four, Jose Canseco. Number three, Con Knippel. Number two, Booby Feaster. Number one. Number 69 for the Ohio Bobcats. Parker Titsworth.

[Taylor]

What? That can't do.

[Dan LeBatard]

You made that up.

[Stugotz]

Number 69.

[Chris Cody]

I love it. What about Fernando Tatis?

[Charlie]

Make your own list.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, yeah, she's got a point there.

[Chris Cody]

I love you. Shut up. Oh, man, I need more top fives. I need more Uncle Charlie talk.

[Jeremy]

Oh, gosh.

[Chris Cody]

I need more dopeness of intricacies.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, dopeness of intricy. Intricacies is my favorite by far.

[Chris Cody]

I. I'd love to hang up on somebody right now. You want me to hang up on myself?

[Taylor]

That old fashioned?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, yeah. When's the last time you hung up on somebody? When's the last time. You know what? This conversation is over, even if you don't think it's over.

[Charlie]

The problem is I think people under the age of 30 no longer answer the phone anymore. So, like, half the people.

[Jeremy]

So what is it? Is it. Is it just leaving somebody on red? Like, what is the modern version of that?

[Chris Cody]

Hanging up?

[Jeremy]

I don't think that the impulse is left. I also don't feel like I. That feels like a high school or like junior high thing where I would find myself in conversations where I got so angry that I had to hang up. Like, I don't remember the last time I felt the need. Need to hang up on somebody.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, look at Dominique. Look at. Look at Dominique.

[Stugotz]

Huh?

[Chris Cody]

Look at Dominique Cosby over here.

[Taylor]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Chris Cody]

I meant he like as good a dad as he was.

[Jeremy]

Can I be Uncle Phil?

[Chris Cody]

Uncle Phil? We can't do R. Kelly and in the same segment.

[Jeremy]

Well, that is.

[Chris Cody]

You're right.

[Jeremy]

I mean, some.

[Chris Cody]

I mean, you're stunting on us with your happiness and your life. Life. That's all that was.

[Jeremy]

No, it's not.

[Chris Cody]

I don't know the last time James Evans felt. Well, shout out to James Evans felt the same vibe.

[Mike Schur]

Yep.

[Taylor]

Yeah, that's all it was.

[Jeremy]

I don't think it is.

[Chris Cody]

I don't know the last time, you know, in my athlete and now, you know, broadcaster life that I had to actually feel I had to end a conversation abruptly with a loved one. You know, you haven't hung up on a co worker or you haven't told somebody to get off your. You haven't hung up on a telemarketer.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Stugotz]

All right, then.

[Jeremy]

What are you talking about?

[Taylor]

I guess it's the now you get the scam likely. So I don't answer those anymore.

[Chris Cody]

I put that as the name for contacts of people who I don't want to talk to.

[Jeremy]

That.

[Chris Cody]

I mean, clearly.

[Jeremy]

Clearly you're showing your privilege by never answering a strange number.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I don't have to do that. All my bills are paid.

[Jeremy]

See, y'all. Y'all. Y'all dunking on me. It's not about bills being paid.

[Chris Cody]

For me it is.

[Jeremy]

I mean, the quality of life for.

[Chris Cody]

A black man starts at, are your bills paid? And then after that, you know, take care of the family. You know, do something for yourself every once, every. Not comfortable. Yeah, exactly. I wake up with worries.

[Taylor]

Just one time I want to see scam unlikely, and then I'll answer. I haven't seen that yet.

[Chris Cody]

That's usually a parent.

[Jeremy]

This is, you know, this is. Yeah. So since you guys think that I was stunting on you by saying I didn't hang up, I occasionally answer unknown calls from places when they're from a particular part of the country because I might be getting a call from a relative in person. It. You gotta answer it.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. You gotta put some money on his books.

[Jeremy]

No, I refuse. I'm done. No money on books. I'm done.

[Chris Cody]

No, I'm done.

[Jeremy]

The one thing I do hate.

[Chris Cody]

We're getting into Republican domination here.

[Jeremy]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Chris Cody]

Wait a minute.

[Jeremy]

There's enough money on the books. I put. I put plenty. I put you right.

[Chris Cody]

You're right.

[Charlie]

Scam. Likely is calling and it's just your kids.

[Dan LeBatard]

You're getting audited.

[Chris Cody]

Real deal. Nah, nah, it usually is your kid. Somebody always wants something on the phone. When's the last time the phone went off and you were like hey, I want to do something for you? When's the last time the phone rang or a text came through? Like, I'm tired of people wanting to pick my brain. I'm tired of people wanting to hey, I'm getting in the business. Well, guess what? Get it out the mud. Like I did. Figure it out.

[Jeremy]

You taught me a Republican. You just bootstrapped everybody who wants some help.

[Chris Cody]

Not everybody, but the people I know who are going to fail. Like, don't send people who I know are going to fail to my phone. That's all I ask.

[Jeremy]

You just want a hard worker who is going to win like our man Jackie with the mid coming up pitch clock ESPN.

[Chris Cody]

Stugats.

[Stugotz]

All I have put in my body today is three cups of coffee and an entire cup.

[Taylor]

Don't let him fool you. He said in the break that he's jittery.

[Chris Cody]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugach.

[Stugotz]

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. Pitch Clock is back after a pretty crazy first week of the season. And our trivia game is back to start. Here. Here. It's me. It's Chris. Hello. But it's also our resident baseball expert who will be showing off his knowledge of the 2025 season in just a moment, but has to be angry over the nostalgia trivia game that we always play. It's Mike Scher. Mike Scher. Welcome back to the Pitch Clock.

[Mike Schur]

Couldn't be more excited and also more terrified to be playing this game again.

[Stugotz]

Taylor, what are we doing today and why will we be disappointed?

[Unknown]

We're going back to old Reliable. It's three strikes and you're out. Alternating guesses. You could flip those papers, Mike. You could see the picture that I sent you from 2000 to 2009, there were 44 times that a player had a war of 8 or better in a single season. And since you guys have the teams listed, I need the year and the team that you're guessing.

[Taylor]

I feel good about this.

[Stugotz]

All right. You feel so good, why don't you go first, Chris?

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Taylor]

I am going to go with 2006. Six Albert Pujols.

[Unknown]

That is correct, Mike.

[Stugotz]

Sure.

[Mike Schur]

I mean, this is a layup. 2001 bonds.

[Taylor]

Yeah. 2001 bonds.

[Mike Schur]

I'm assuming on the Giants.

[Stugotz]

I'm gonna say the 2001 Chicago Cub is Sammy Sosa.

[Unknown]

It is Sammy Sosa.

[Taylor]

I'm gonna say the 2002 giant is Barry Bonds.

[Unknown]

It is Barry.

[Stugotz]

Now, this is interesting because there are some Giants logos on this piece of paper. My shirt.

[Mike Schur]

I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say the 2003 Giants is Barry Bonds.

[Unknown]

It is Barry Bonds.

[Stugotz]

Do I want to do it? All right. I'm gonna say, even if I might be wrong, I know this is his last year. I'm saying it. 2004 Giants. Is that Barry Bonds?

[Unknown]

Jeremy, I hate to say this.

[Stugotz]

It's not.

[Dan LeBatard]

It is Barry Bonds.

[Stugotz]

It is Barry Bonds. Hooray.

[Taylor]

2002 Texas Ranger, Alex Rodriguez.

[Unknown]

It is a Ron.

[Mike Schur]

There's a lot of easy layups on the board here, but I'll go is 2001 Diamondbacks. Luis Gonzalez.

[Unknown]

It's not Luis Gonzalez.

[Taylor]

Oh, no.

[Mike Schur]

Get out of here.

[Unknown]

That is a strike.

[Stugotz]

Wow. I'm gonna go ahead and say that the 2006 New York Met is Carlos Beltran.

[Unknown]

Wow. I was surprised somebody went to that that early. It is Carl's Beltran.

[Mike Schur]

I'm gonna shocker.

[Taylor]

I'm gonna continue to be a coward and just take the easiest ones on here. I'm gonna take a rock. 2003 Ranger.

[Unknown]

It is a Rod.

[Stugotz]

There he is.

[Mike Schur]

Alts say that 07 was also Pujols.

[Unknown]

Correct.

[Stugotz]

That was the right move. 2001 Arizona diamondback. Randy Johnson.

[Unknown]

Correct.

[Taylor]

And on the right, we'll go with the righty Curt Schilling.

[Unknown]

Correct.

[Stugotz]

There he is.

[Mike Schur]

2007 Yankees has to be a rod.

[Stugotz]

All right, We've kicked Chris Cody out of the room. It is just me and Mike Scher. We're actually talking about MLB in 2025 because after a week, it's been a really interesting start of the season. But there is no story that is swept the globe more than the torpedo bats. It's torpedoed our chance of talking about anything else. Mike, what is your Take here on this newly designed bat and, and the way really, that this story has exploded over the last week.

[Mike Schur]

As soon as I saw it, I knew two things. Number one, obviously, I'm furious, but number two, it's legal. They've had it checked out, and it's smart and a good idea. And it's a. This is a classic example of someone in baseball just choosing to question something that everyone had taken as gospel for the eternity of the sport and saying, like, well, why is the bat shaped like this? Why shouldn't it be shaped differently in a way that helps the hitters? And it's a very Bill Belichick kind of a move is what it is. The data seems to suggest that this gives hitters an advantage. And frankly, even though it's the Yankees, I'm thrilled that hitters are getting some advantage because every advantage in the last 20 years has gone to pitchers.

[Stugotz]

That's right.

[Mike Schur]

If we can have something that helps the game and just increases the amount of offense in the game, I think that's. That's only good. Even though. So it's horrifying that it's the Yankees. Everyone in baseball will be using these bats within three months.

[Stugotz]

I. Look, Mike, I genuinely hate to go negative at any point in Major League Baseball, and I particularly am not exactly excited to do it with you and your team, but as our resident Red Sox expert, I do feel like I have to ask you about Rafael Devers, because why this has been.

[Mike Schur]

Why what's. What's. What's been happening.

[Stugotz]

Well, after being moved from his. His natural position, or at least the position he had been playing, of third base, he has started the season to the point of this recording over 19 with 15 strikeouts. What in the world is going on with Rafael Devers? And do you think that this is something that can and will be fixed with him?

[Mike Schur]

Yes, I do. I mean, I think this is a situation where, like, there's a bunch of things that are all true and contradictory. It is true that he. He is a little bit sensitive about, like, I would say, the mental aspect of the game. It is also true that he is a terrible defensive third baseman and that Bregman is a much better defensive third baseman. And it makes a lot of sense. You know, he had a shoulder injury in the summer last year, and if you look at his bat speed starting at the moment that that injury happened, his bat speed has gone down pretty much every month since that injury. So I don't. I don't think that this is necessarily just a sort of like this. He's a head case situation. I think he's had a shoulder injury and I think his bat speed is really slow. And if you've watched his at bats, which I tragically have, he's swinging right through like everything, you know, 92 mile an hour cutters that are over the heart of the plate. And I don't think that someone who's as good a hitter as he is suddenly starts just missing 92 middle, middle. So I think it's going to be fine. It's just that because of the Boston media and because of the scrutiny in general on a guy who has a $300 million contract until he has a weekend where he goes 7 for 12 with two homers, this is all anyone's going to talk about.

[Stugotz]

I agree with you completely. Partially mental, partially physical. But he also did become the first hitter since 1901 through five games for his team to have zero hits and 15 strikeouts. I mean, a truly remarkably rough stat that Taylor, the Yankee fan, just fed to me while you were giving me all of your very positive analysis. Assist H. 2005St. Louis Cardinal. Albert Pujos.

[Unknown]

You went with 05.05. It is Pujos.

[Stugotz]

Thank God.

[Taylor]

I am continuing to be a coward. 2004 Albert Pujos, cardinals.

[Unknown]

One of the cardinals. Correct.

[Stugotz]

Man.

[Unknown]

Mike Sher. I have an update here. Luis Gonzalez's war in 2001 was 7.9.

[Mike Schur]

Perfect. Serves me right. Sure.

[Stugotz]

You're back up again.

[Mike Schur]

2008 Philly has to be Utley.

[Unknown]

The 2008 Philly is Utley.

[Stugotz]

Okay. Ooh. Let's go to the end of this list. 2009 Tampa Bay Rays. Evan Longoria.

[Unknown]

No.

[Chris Cody]

Nope.

[Stugotz]

No.

[Taylor]

Wow.

[Stugotz]

Mike Scher myself have a strike, but Chris Cody. Yeah, I'm chilling with no strikes on the board still.

[Taylor]

I think a couple easy ones on here. I think I'm gonna go 2000 Rocky.

[Stugotz]

Todd Helton.

[Unknown]

Todd Helton is correct.

[Stugotz]

Wow, that's a good one.

[Mike Schur]

I mean, I hate to do this, but the 2008 cardinal is also going to be pool holes. Right? Right.

[Unknown]

Kuos continues the run.

[Stugotz]

Oh, man. So is it him and 09. I'm not going to go with with him yet. I'm going to. I'm going to go back to 2001 and I'm going to use the Oakland Athletics. I'm going to say Miguel Tejada.

[Mike Schur]

Dang.

[Chris Cody]

Wow.

[Taylor]

I'm going to go, you know, just going to keep it. Randy Johnson. 2002 Arizona Diamondback.

[Stugotz]

Which one?

[Taylor]

On the left.

[Unknown]

Correct.

[Mike Schur]

2000 Mariner. Runners is still available, correct?

[Stugotz]

Yes, it is.

[Mike Schur]

That's gonna be a rod. To me.

[Unknown]

It is a rod.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Taylor]

The real question is the next year, like, right? What year did he go, right?

[Stugotz]

I mean, 2005 Yankees. Alex Rodriguez.

[Unknown]

Jeremy stays alive.

[Taylor]

A lot of a rod, huh?

[Stugotz]

A lot of a rod. A lot of a rod. A lot of pujos.

[Taylor]

Good decade, huh? Good decade.

[Stugotz]

Good for those two.

[Taylor]

I'm gonna go with Kurt Schilling. 2002 Diamondback back.

[Unknown]

Chris stays hot.

[Stugotz]

Chris. I feel like you're like the same name over and over. Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Okay.

[Mike Schur]

So. So, 2001 Mariners. A rod's gone. I know who this is the Ichiro year. And this is the Brett Boon year. That's Brett Boone.

[Taylor]

Oh, wow.

[Unknown]

Wow.

[Stugotz]

I can't believe it. I'm gonna take your. Your hint because you just said a rod's gone. I'm sticking in 2001. I'm going with the Texas Rangers and I'm going Alex Rodriguez.

[Unknown]

Good strategy. It is.

[Stugotz]

Oh, I have a crow.

[Taylor]

Todd Helton again. 04 Rockies.

[Unknown]

It is Todd Helton again.

[Stugotz]

It is. Wow.

[Mike Schur]

I'm embarrassed about not choosing a Red Sox yet. So. So 2003, Ortiz doesn't start hitting until May, right? I'm gonna say it's Pedro.

[Unknown]

It is Pedro.

[Stugotz]

I nailed it. Had to. As the Red Sox guy. I just said that I was going to not be risky and that I was just trying to put bad on ball. But this guy came to mind and I feel like I have to say it. 2004 Dodgers. Sean Green.

[Mike Schur]

Oh, that's a good guess though.

[Stugotz]

I really thought it was going to be him.

[Unknown]

Goes down swinging.

[Stugotz]

Let's go to something positive because hey, our Miami Marlins. And I'm including you in that. Mike Shur walked off three times in the opening weekend. They became the first team to do it in 22 years. And their in division rival, the Atlanta Braves got off to a terrible start to the season. Which of those two things made you smile more? The Braves terrible start or the Marlins? Marlins fluky and fun. Three walk offs in the first weekend.

[Mike Schur]

Oh, Marlins by far. I mean Marlins getting a bunch of walk off wins with a roster full of players that literally no one, including me has ever heard of is a. Is a very fun story. And like I. I live for the weeks and months that that teams provide their fans with hope and joy and because that's really what. What you count on baseball, if you're a baseball fan, to give you six months of entertainment and if your team stinks. These moments, these weeks of like oh my God, what a fun week we just had with this team. Like there's nothing better than that. And so the Marlins hot start or the, their walk off run was truly delightful. Like I had nothing but happiness for the, for the fans of Miami, which I can't say about any other sport in your ridiculous town.

[Stugotz]

Final question for you after a week of baseball, I'm going to ask you for the opinion of yours that you've already held about 20, 25 that was influenced the most in the first weekend either in an affirming way of saying I was right and I continued to be proven right or a team or a player that you looked at and went, you know what, what I might have been wrong about that going into the year. Maybe that could be something different.

[Mike Schur]

Well, I mean sadly I, my, my opinion of the Yankees was that they're finally maybe gonna finish below.500 because Cole losing Cole for the year, losing Luis Heel for at least three months like Rely, I was like they're relying on Paul Goldschmidt and Bellinger for power. And then you know, they go absolutely nuclear in their first five games and just look like world be which is of course why didn't I see this coming? I don't know why I roll this particular rock up the hill. I will say that my other kind of secret prediction was that Ellie De La Cruz might win the MVP this year. Through the first couple of games I thought that was a very bad prediction. And then now that he's using the torpedo bat, he's back baby, like Ellie De La Cruz. So I, I mean it would, it would be hard for him to win the actually when the mvp because I don't think his team is going to be that good. But, but man oh man, you know who else? The Cruz brothers. As I think of them in my head, those two absolute baseball monsters, Ellie de la Cruz and O'Neill Cruz. If those gigantic wreckers of the sport could both have put together full years of, of like whatever their ceiling is, that would just be so fun to watch. It would give everyone a reason to tune in to NL Central games in May. And I would, I would like to believe that that's possible.

[Stugotz]

Cruise on cruise crime. I'm pretty sure Adnan Ver last week and predicted Vladdy Jr. And Ellie Dela Cruz as his MVPs which would be so fun for Major League Baseball if that ended up being the case. He also though said I believe what Diamondbacks and Royals as his World Series. Taylor, I am going to give you one Second here. Just to say what you said in my ear as Mike sure was talking.

[Unknown]

The death of the Yankees. Greatly exaggerated.

[Stugotz]

Unfortunately for you, Mike, I kind of think the Yankees are a really, really, really likable team. But we'll continue to explore that. We'll continue to. Unfortunately, Mike, we don't have the time. We have to get back to our competition. One strike for Mike Scher. No strikes for Chris Cody. Can Chris maintain the lead down the stretch? Chris Cody, you're up.

[Taylor]

I'm definitely not as confident as I was through the first few of these, but I'm gonna go. I think this has Johan Santana, twins 04.

[Unknown]

Johan. Correct.

[Mike Schur]

There he is. Damn. 2000 Red Sox is Pedro.

[Unknown]

It is Pedro.

[Stugotz]

Had to be.

[Mike Schur]

It's like the greatest year of all time.

[Taylor]

I'm going to just. Albert Pujos. 03 Cardinal.

[Unknown]

The Pujo train.

[Stugotz]

God, this is crazy. You have said Kurt Schilling, Randy Johnson and Albert Pujos like six times.

[Taylor]

I worked in an A rod like.

[Mike Schur]

2004 Cardinals, who the Red Sox defeated in the World Series. Had the one of the great years hitting years off of right hand Sanders in the modern era was Jim Edmonds. And I'm gonna say that because he played center field. I'm gonna say that the other Cardinals. Jim Edmonds.

[Taylor]

No, I'm just gonna say I'll take a strike if it's not Chris Carpenter.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's not Chris Carpenter.

[Stugotz]

That's okay.

[Mike Schur]

You took 12000 Braves is still around, right?

[Unknown]

Yep. Yep.

[Mike Schur]

That's Andrew Jones.

[Unknown]

It is Andrew Jones. And I have an up date. Jim Edmonds, War in 2004, 7.2.

[Stugotz]

This is crazy. This is insane. You are. When you're off, at least you're not Sean Green off.

[Taylor]

I am gonna go. Roy Halliday. 03 Blue Jays.

[Stugotz]

That's a great guess. It's a great one.

[Mike Schur]

David Wright.

[Unknown]

David Wright in 2007 is correct.

[Chris Cody]

I'm gonna go.

[Taylor]

Randy Johnson. 04 Diamondbacks.

[Unknown]

It was Randy Johnson, man.

[Mike Schur]

All right. There's a. There's another obvious one, I think because Nobody on the 2009 Royals could hit. Which means that has to be Cy Young Award winners at Crinky.

[Unknown]

It is great.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Taylor]

Dodgers04. Matt Kemp, Dodgers04.

[Mike Schur]

My friends, is, I believe maybe MVP winner.

[Taylor]

No.

[Mike Schur]

Adrian Belter.

[Taylor]

Okay.

[Unknown]

It is Adrian Bell.

[Taylor]

This is where shirt gets me. I'm gonna just go. Since you said him in 2008, I'm gonna say Chase Utley. 09 Phillies.

[Unknown]

Way to foul this one off. You stay alive.

[Stugotz]

Nice job.

[Mike Schur]

2004 Mariners. That I believe is the year Ichiro set the hits record.

[Unknown]

It is.

[Mike Schur]

So it's Ichiro.

[Taylor]

I guess.

[Mike Schur]

That's a guess.

[Taylor]

I mean, geez. I'm gonna go with David Price. 09. Raise.

[Chris Cody]

No.

[Unknown]

Mike sure needs us to win.

[Stugotz]

Damn it, Mike. Sure.

[Mike Schur]

I think I got the A. It's either Tejada or Giambi, but it's. I think it's Giambi.

[Unknown]

It is Giambi.

[Chris Cody]

Wow.

[Taylor]

I told God it with Giambi even when he's down. Who was the 2000 diamondback?

[Stugotz]

Can I. Can I get that? Was that also Randy Johnson?

[Unknown]

It was Randy.

[Stugotz]

That was Randy Johnson. Okay, Taylor, please give us the rest of our 2,000.

[Unknown]

The only one you guys missed was Darren Urstead.

[Stugotz]

Oh, J.D.

[Chris Cody]

Drew.

[Unknown]

The Cardinal. Was Scott. Rolling. All right, 2009, the Cardinal. It was Albert Provost. The Ray was Ben Zobrist.

[Stugotz]

Ben Zobris.

[Taylor]

Ben Zobris.

[Mike Schur]

Wow.

[Stugotz]

What a way to end it. Ben Zobrist. From. From A to Zobrus.

[Taylor]

Spoiled again.

[Stugotz]

Mike. Thank you.

[Dan LeBatard]

You know it's that time of year where everyone is debating who the number one pick is going to be. Well, let me tell you something that is undebatable. Who the world's number one vodka is. That is Smirnoff. And as fun as it is to debate whether or not the team with the number one pick goes pass rusher, wide receiver, quarterback, one thing that we all know is we're going with Smirnoff as our number one one vodka pick. Isn't that right, Dano?
