Tone and Language

The episode is loaded with the show's trademark rapid-fire banter, self-deprecating humor, regional sports pride, and running jokes about their own knowledge gaps and quirks. The camaraderie and friendly ribbing are present throughout, with a constant push-and-pull between earnest sports analysis and absurd comedy.

Summary Takeaway

For sports and pop-culture fans, this episode highlights the Le Batard Show’s ability to blend heartfelt fandom (WNBA and Bills), pop-culture nods (Cardi B/Diggs), and chaotic sports nerdery (Pitch Clock)—all wrapped in their own unique blend of South Florida flavor and comedic camaraderie. Even if you miss the specific games, you're left feeling the stakes, drama, and fun of sports—and maybe a little confusion about home run stats and onomatopoeia.

Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

[Chris Cody]

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?

[Dan Ogla]

Cal Raleigh also most homers ever is a switch hitter. Did it as a catcher in this room.

[Chris Cody]

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

[Jeremy]

That's right, it's Thursday Thunder and it's presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The crown is is yours, Juju.

[Juju]

Yes, sir. Bills versus Dolphins tonight in a great showdown. AFC East. I see you. I'm starting off with my brother, Tyreek Hill, the Cheetah. He is gonna go over 63.5 yards tonight. Receiving two. We're gonna get it together. Be patient with it 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 Kingaido Dalton Kincaid tonight, over 3.5 catches from your brother and mine, Josh Allen locking in.

[Chris Cody]

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

[Juju]

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 Skyler almost will them boys to a win. So I don't see the Dolphins like y' all see them. If you. If you out there and you got anything, some disposable income, toss it on the Dolphins, because I'm not so sure. But that's neither here nor there.

[Chris Cody]

Okay? I'm surprised to hear you say that. I was also surprised that the Liberty lost last night. Were you?

[Juju]

Oh, yes. The way they lost, too. They got that baby spanked last night. Phoenix, they was on the verge of elimination. In the wnba, the first round is best out of three. So that that second home game or that second away game that you have, if you 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, Brianna 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 deciding game three will be tomorrow night in Phoenix.

[Chris Cody]

Juju and Trist are doing a hell of a job on DLS hoops, covering everything WNBA related and basketball related. What did you think about the Links rallying last night?

[Juju]

Man, it's something about the links.

[Dan Ogla]

The.

[Juju]

The Links have what the early days of Steph Curry and. And Klay Thompson had. They're down 20 points, it's the fourth quarter. Of course they supposed to lose. Not so fast, my friendly Corso style. The Valkyrie will 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 Nakase for a great season. Because inaugural seasons don't go like this. And they hats off to them for having a great season. But the Links man, too strong.

[Danny]

All right, Juju, we Got some deciding game threes tonight. You will want to pick either of these road teams.

[Juju]

I tell you one road team I'm not picking and that's the Indiana Fever. I'm. I'm record list today because the. The WNBA playoff scheduling. Don't get me started.

[Danny]

Terrible.

[Juju]

The game ones was on NFL Sunday.

[Danny]

Terrible.

[Juju]

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 gonna watch my Bills first half on my phone. I'm choosing the. The. The. 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.

[Chris Cody]

When's the last time that a sporting event of any kind knocked out a Bills game for you where you had to wager that's never happened before. So only ever happened. Only the Atlanta Dream are something that has your allegiance a little more than the Buffalo Bills.

[Juju]

They do not have my allegiance more than the Bills.

[Dan Ogla]

We.

[Juju]

We the same, but at the same time. It's a. It's an elimination game. Loser goes home and I have to be there to make sure my sister see me in the flesh and like. Oh, yeah. Okay, he's here. We. We got it.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Danny]

You can only go to one Dan.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, fair enough. I'm sorry, I didn't realize, man. Zazzle's getting more and more confident and I'm a little scared of you.

[Dan Ogla]

Called him a rising star over and over. You're going to gain confidence.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, but I just like.

[Dan Ogla]

I've lost it.

[Chris Cody]

It's too. 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?

[Juju]

Yeah, man. I salute to Stefan Digg. 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 just be in line. He or she's going to be in line for whatever lifestyle they choose. So hats off always. Congratulations. New birth in this world.

[Hannah]

I'm not going to leave you on an island. I would also like to send my best wishes here.

[Jeremy]

Here.

[Hannah]

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.

[Juju]

There we are.

[Chris Cody]

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.

[Juju]

Yes, sir. Before I update the polls, I also want to say my brother Roy, Rose and Dwark have a new channel, the Hockey Show. Have a new channel. Tell them how to listen to it, Roy.

[Dan Ogla]

Yes, we have a new channel on YouTube. It's at the Hockey Show.

[Jeremy]

That was available?

[Dan Ogla]

Yeah, that was available.

[Billy Gill]

Wow.

[Hannah]

It's unbelievable. I keep getting surprised with this title.

[Juju]

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

[Hannah]

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

[Danny]

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

[Hannah]

Spelled the same way backwards.

[Danny]

That's what the movie's about?

[Hannah]

Yeah. You hold the poster upside down, it still says.

[Dan Ogla]

What's that called? P and Q are spelled the same way backwards.

[Chris Cody]

What's the word for that? Is it. Is it palindrome?

[Hannah]

I believe it's on a stupid. I believe it's onomatopoe. It is absolutely.

[Chris Cody]

Onomatopoeia is punt. No, it's a word that sounds like what it is. Punt.

[Hannah]

Punta manipia.

[Juju]

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

[Jeremy]

Favorite part?

[Juju]

55%, right? 55% of the audience says, yes, they do. Now, that's it.

[Chris Cody]

Wait a minute. No, that's not true in any way. You don't know how to spell W.

[Dan Ogla]

55% of the audience are lying.

[Chris Cody]

That's such nonsense.

[Juju]

Does Christopher Nolan know what Tenet was about? 83% of the audience says, no, he does not.

[Chris Cody]

How does Christopher Nolan make a movie that nobody understands?

[Juju]

In 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.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you, Juju. Pitch Clock next.

[Danny]

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.

[Juju]

This is the Don Lebatar show with the stugats.

[Dan Ogla]

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?

[Jeremy]

Yeah, you think so? So let's do it.

[Dan Ogla]

So let's do it. Welcome to the Pitch Clock. Here's the pitch. A two part baseball segment, comb mining, a nostalgic baseball trivia game and an interview with an expert. This is the Pitch Clock. It's time for another episode of the Pitch Clock. And this is a. Yeah, you heard that noise. That can only mean one thing. Billy Gill is here.

[Billy Gill]

Billy, hello. Hey, guys. Hey, it's Billy.

[Dan Ogla]

It's great to have you here with Chris. Thanks. Hi, Roberta. There it is. Thank you for that. That means the show is officially a.

[Jeremy]

Lot of inside jokes here.

[Dan Ogla]

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.

[Jeremy]

Research, but we just call him Happy.

[Mike Fuentes]

I'm ecstatic to be here.

[Billy Gill]

I mean, Happy is going to have a camera on him. Don't worry about that. There's always a camera on Happy.

[Dan Ogla]

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.

[Jeremy]

Laziest form of trivia.

[Dan Ogla]

Yeah, it is. So, so that you can understand what the deal is here, bill, because I've a one trivia. Yeah, we all start at 501.

[Billy Gill]

501.

[Dan Ogla]

We're each going to guess 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.

[Jeremy]

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

[Billy Gill]

I don't understand at all. What does 501 have to do with any.

[Dan Ogla]

It's a darts thing, apparently.

[Billy Gill]

Okay.

[Dan Ogla]

We didn't understand it either. So I'm Glad we're doing this, though.

[Billy Gill]

I want to get points.

[Dan Ogla]

You can't go past zero, so it doesn't count.

[Jeremy]

If it gets you past zero, you.

[Dan Ogla]

It won't count. You'll stay exactly where you are.

[Billy Gill]

So this is a group effort, no.

[Jeremy]

Competition to see who can get the closest to zero. Oh, why are you laughing?

[Dan Ogla]

Chris is gonna go.

[Billy Gill]

We have the same people.

[Dan Ogla]

No, listen to me.

[Billy Gill]

So if I say Jeff Blouser, he can't say correct.

[Dan Ogla]

So Chris on Blouser. Chris is gonna start.

[Jeremy]

You want that 22, you're gonna need that. You think he had 22?

[Billy Gill]

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.

[Dan Ogla]

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.

[Billy Gill]

What does that get us?

[Jeremy]

We're just doing one, though.

[Billy Gill]

What does 10 get us?

[Mike Fuentes]

We're gonna be here all day.

[Dan Ogla]

Do we want to make this 301 trivia?

[Billy Gill]

So if you go over, you lose.

[Jeremy]

That's the pitch.

[Billy Gill]

Like the price. Right.

[Dan Ogla]

So we're gonna do 301 trivia.

[Billy Gill]

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

[Dan Ogla]

We're doing single season home runs. Sorry, Danny's in my ear as I'm trying to speak, telling me to do 305. We're doing 301.

[Billy Gill]

300. Okay.

[Dan Ogla]

So we're gonna do 301 trivia.

[Jeremy]

305 does make sense.

[Billy Gill]

Especially if you're doing Marlins.

[Dan Ogla]

It's Atlanta.

[Billy Gill]

Why is it Atlanta but we're in Miami. You have the advantage now because you knew. You picked the topic.

[Dan Ogla]

I didn't look at anything. I promised.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, right. We need to decide enough.

[Dan Ogla]

So we're doing 305. Yes.

[Billy Gill]

Are we doing the Braves? Yes. 404 trivia.

[Dan Ogla]

Because that's. I understand. Okay, but okay, 404 trivia.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Dan Ogla]

It's gonna be single season home runs. Home run highs for the Braves. Yes. We're married to that. Okay, done. Nothing. 10 guesses max. 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.

[Jeremy]

Single season.

[Dan Ogla]

Correct. Their single season career over.

[Jeremy]

Explaining.

[Billy Gill]

Exactly. All right.

[Dan Ogla]

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.

[Jeremy]

Let's dive in.

[Dan Ogla]

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. What do you think about Cal Raleigh getting to this space in the season?

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, he's good.

[Dan Ogla]

Anything else, or.

[Jeremy]

Well, big ass.

[Dan Ogla]

Okay. So the Astros and the Mariners.

[Jeremy]

The Astros. Sorry, go ahead.

[Dan Ogla]

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?

[Jeremy]

I'm an ass man. Astros.

[Dan Ogla]

Okay, go ahead and get us started.

[Jeremy]

Fred McGriff.

[Billy Gill]

All right. Do I write that down or no?

[Dan Ogla]

Maybe. So that you might want to say.

[Jeremy]

It, you might want to mark your own make. Like maybe.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

At least we don't.

[Dan Ogla]

You could just search.

[Jeremy]

At least we don't have to do this.

[Mike Fuentes]

I have a number.

[Dan Ogla]

What's the number?

[Mike Fuentes]

34.

[Billy Gill]

34.

[Jeremy]

Ooh, round number.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

370. I'm down, too. So I go from 404. 370 is my next number. Billy, who you got?

[Billy Gill]

It's my turn now.

[Dan Ogla]

Your turn.

[Billy Gill]

Are we doing a certain number? We're doing 10 for sure.

[Dan Ogla]

10 total guesses.

[Billy Gill]

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

[Dan Ogla]

You can also do it.

[Jeremy]

This could have been 305.

[Billy Gill]

I'll go with Idris Galarraga.

[Dan Ogla]

All right.

[Jeremy]

Ah, the big cat.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Mike Fuentes]

Billy took the lead. Colorado. 44.

[Billy Gill]

44.

[Dan Ogla]

Wow. Another round number.

[Billy Gill]

So down to 360.

[Jeremy]

All right.

[Dan Ogla]

I'm going to say Matt Olsen.

[Mike Fuentes]

Jeremy's a cheater. Matt Olsen. 54.

[Dan Ogla]

I'm allowed to know.

[Jeremy]

Do you have, like, the best single season Braves? Like, that's what you should.

[Billy Gill]

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

[Mike Fuentes]

Most Impressive things is that you all managed to get a number with four.

[Dan Ogla]

Yeah, that's kind of crazy. So I guess we have to stick with 404.

[Jeremy]

I'll go Ronald Acuna.

[Dan Ogla]

That's a good one.

[Jeremy]

You had a four. I know.

[Dan Ogla]

He had 40.

[Billy Gill]

40, sure.

[Jeremy]

I didn't.

[Mike Fuentes]

Or 41.

[Dan Ogla]

41. So now you're down to 370 minus 49.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, crap. What's 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. Let's say David justice, which probably doesn't have a very big career high, I'd say in the 30s.

[Dan Ogla]

Yeah, that's pretty good.

[Billy Gill]

Can I just do a quick Google search?

[Mike Fuentes]

David Justice, 44.

[Juju]

Wow.

[Billy Gill]

All right, I'll take it.

[Dan Ogla]

So down to 320. I'm gonna have to say Chipper Jones. Larry Chipper Jones.

[Billy Gill]

You ran out of people. Yeah, Just if one of those.

[Mike Fuentes]

Chipper Jones 45.

[Billy Gill]

There you go.

[Dan Ogla]

So I'm down to 305.

[Jeremy]

Andrew Jones.

[Dan Ogla]

Really good one.

[Billy Gill]

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

[Mike Fuentes]

Andrew Jones 41 again.

[Dan Ogla]

Carry the one.

[Jeremy]

288. I am down to 280.

[Mike Fuentes]

I lied. Andrew Jones, 47.

[Dan Ogla]

Oh, that's a 281.

[Jeremy]

281.

[Mike Fuentes]

I lied again. It's actually 51.

[Dan Ogla]

Are you kidding me?

[Billy Gill]

What?

[Dan Ogla]

It is insane.

[Jeremy]

And I swear I knew he had a 51.

[Billy Gill]

Like, I thought that was. Yeah, you knew that. My turn.

[Dan Ogla]

Yeah, Billy's turn.

[Billy Gill]

I don't want to say blower. I'm not going to say blouser. All right.

[Dan Ogla]

Javi Lopes a look, that was one.

[Jeremy]

Of my names right here.

[Billy Gill]

Let me see.

[Dan Ogla]

Jav Lopez.

[Jeremy]

Lopez. It's going to be like 32 or something. Yeah, it's going to be like 38.

[Mike Fuentes]

He had some pop, though. It's going to be 43.

[Billy Gill]

Wow.

[Juju]

Wow.

[Billy Gill]

Down to 277 by my math.

[Dan Ogla]

Wow, this is getting close. I'm gonna go ahead and just say Freddie Freeman.

[Mike Fuentes]

Freddie Freeman, 38.

[Jeremy]

I'm gonna go with Ryan Klesko.

[Billy Gill]

Whoa, bad guess.

[Mike Fuentes]

Ryan Klesko, 34.

[Jeremy]

Good guess for me.

[Billy Gill]

All right.

[Jeremy]

Sure, you got that right.

[Billy Gill]

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

[Jeremy]

I'm at 244.

[Billy Gill]

It is Adam Duvall.

[Mike Fuentes]

Oh, 16.

[Billy Gill]

Oh.

[Dan Ogla]

What?

[Billy Gill]

That's impossible.

[Jeremy]

Sure you looked up the right Duvall.

[Dan Ogla]

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

[Mike Fuentes]

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.

[Jeremy]

Billy's on his phone.

[Dan Ogla]

But at 38.

[Mike Fuentes]

But with a year he only had 16 with the Brazil. Here he had 22 at the Marlon.

[Billy Gill]

He ended the season with the braze at 38 runs.

[Dan Ogla]

That's a tough one. Oh, I don't think so. It's however many home runs he hit with the Braves.

[Billy Gill]

The Braves.

[Mike Fuentes]

The highest he ever had was only 16.

[Billy Gill]

I don't know about 16.

[Jeremy]

116.

[Dan Ogla]

Danny ruling. Talking about 16. He says 16.

[Billy Gill]

He.

[Dan Ogla]

It's. This isn't my ruling.

[Billy Gill]

What's the number?

[Dan Ogla]

It was Danny B's ruling 16.

[Billy Gill]

16. I'm gonna say 38.

[Dan Ogla]

That's ultimately. That's not how this is gonna go.

[Billy Gill]

All right, go ahead, Jeremy.

[Dan Ogla]

You're at 261. Tamarin. Hank Aaron.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, wow.

[Jeremy]

It's a good one.

[Dan Ogla]

He's not you say that for that.

[Mike Fuentes]

Long because he had 47 in 1971. He also had 1, 2, 3, 4 seasons where he hit 44.

[Jeremy]

Too bad that doesn't help Jeremy.

[Mike Fuentes]

Nope, 47.

[Dan Ogla]

Only after four guesses each. Chris Cody sits at 244, Billy sits at 261, and I sit at 220.

[Jeremy]

And now I guess Brian McCann as my fifth guess.

[Mike Fuentes]

Brian McCann, 24.

[Billy Gill]

He must have led the league in home runs during like Covid year, right?

[Dan Ogla]

Yeah, it must have been that.

[Billy Gill]

My turn. Oh, Terry Pendleton.

[Dan Ogla]

Oh, that's not gonna be very high. No, that's a great name.

[Mike Fuentes]

Terry Pendleton, 22.

[Dan Ogla]

That's pretty good.

[Jeremy]

I'm at 220.

[Dan Ogla]

I'm gonna go ahead with Jason Hayward.

[Billy Gill]

That's a good one.

[Mike Fuentes]

Jason Hayward, 27.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah. That's not good.

[Dan Ogla]

Yeah, it's not great.

[Billy Gill]

Is that.

[Dan Ogla]

Let me.

[Jeremy]

Since we're. I'll just go with him. He's got. He had to at least hit 30. Jorge Solaire.

[Dan Ogla]

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Billy Gill]

Not good.

[Dan Ogla]

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

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Mike Fuentes]

And the most he had with The Braves was 14.

[Dan Ogla]

Oh, my God.

[Jeremy]

I don't know if I trust this.

[Billy Gill]

That's.

[Dan Ogla]

See.

[Billy Gill]

All right, my turn.

[Dan Ogla]

World Series. Yes.

[Billy Gill]

It's your turn, Dan Ogla.

[Dan Ogla]

I'm not heist. That's such a good one.

[Mike Fuentes]

And I'll high number 36.

[Dan Ogla]

Wow, I'm here's a fun name. Brian Giles.

[Jeremy]

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 gonna guess his brother next. The second baseman.

[Dan Ogla]

Damn. That's what I was thinking.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, Marcus.

[Dan Ogla]

That's gonna be a zero. So I let you guys back in it.

[Jeremy]

I don't think Brian ever.

[Mike Fuentes]

Brian Giles in fact did not play.

[Billy Gill]

Yep. All right.

[Dan Ogla]

Damn it.

[Jeremy]

I'll guess. No, I'll guess Marcus Giles.

[Dan Ogla]

What a choke job that was. Oh no, I just completely mixed up the Giles's.

[Jeremy]

Did you look over here? See Giles?

[Billy Gill]

No, I just Dave Giles on there.

[Jeremy]

I had Giles.

[Dan Ogla]

Oh, what a disaster. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Billy Gill]

Little cheater that. You have one guess on there. That's really bad. I can't believe he has one guess.

[Mike Fuentes]

We're getting a pretty solid guess from Cody given the circumstance.

[Jeremy]

30 something for sure.

[Mike Fuentes]

15 actually. No, sorry. 21.

[Jeremy]

What?

[Dan Ogla]

Why would you off all the time?

[Jeremy]

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

[Mike Fuentes]

Well, you did a decent guess compared.

[Jeremy]

To zero at 185 through six names.

[Billy Gill]

No, you're not.

[Jeremy]

What do you mean? I was at 2.

[Dan Ogla]

What did you say? You said Marcus trials. I can show.

[Billy Gill]

You can see.

[Jeremy]

You can see my math here.

[Billy Gill]

Each one. All right. Nick Marques, you're such a piece of.

[Dan Ogla]

You're an God.

[Jeremy]

He for sure had 20 something.

[Mike Fuentes]

Billy saved you from an embarrassing thing because Marques only good.

[Dan Ogla]

14 good.

[Jeremy]

I meant that.

[Billy Gill]

That's what I guess I deserve.

[Jeremy]

That was on purpose.

[Dan Ogla]

Eddie Matthews.

[Jeremy]

Gary Matthews.

[Dan Ogla]

Eddie. Matt.

[Billy Gill]

How far back are we going?

[Mike Fuentes]

Matthews deep pool. In 1953 he had 47 homes.

[Dan Ogla]

Yeah, I mean.

[Billy Gill]

Whoa.

[Dan Ogla]

You're more of a National League guy. Chris, ultimately because of. Fair to say, because of the Marlins, right? So the National League wild card 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 wild card 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 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?

[Jeremy]

I'm red. I'm going with the Reds.

[Dan Ogla]

Can you give me any analysis, Chris?

[Jeremy]

Reds.

[Dan Ogla]

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 Cal Raleigh alongside Aaron Judge. Can you explain what you think the MVP vote should look like?

[Jeremy]

Look at me, I'm thick. Cal Raleigh, Kyle Schwaber.

[Dan Ogla]

That's the explanation.

[Jeremy]

Take it to the bank, Frank.

[Dan Ogla]

Good show we have here.

[Billy Gill]

Come on, you got this.

[Mike Fuentes]

Can I give a subtle hint?

[Billy Gill]

Yes.

[Jeremy]

No, it's fine.

[Billy Gill]

What is the hint?

[Jeremy]

Just you can make it. Subtle.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, subtle.

[Mike Fuentes]

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

[Billy Gill]

Wow.

[Mike Fuentes]

That's all I'm gonna say.

[Dan Ogla]

That's not.

[Jeremy]

Give me initials.

[Billy Gill]

Subtle hint. Yeah, that's a good. That's a good idea.

[Jeremy]

That's not subtle.

[Billy Gill]

Say that one.

[Jeremy]

All right, I got this. I'm gonna go with. I literally have nothing. Julio Franco. I have nothing. I. I just had to say a name.

[Dan Ogla]

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

[Mike Fuentes]

I know Julio Franco had nine.

[Billy Gill]

Adania Chevarria.

[Dan Ogla]

That's.

[Billy Gill]

That was what I didn't want to say first.

[Dan Ogla]

That. I love that.

[Billy Gill]

That was my first.

[Dan Ogla]

I love that. You're just punting that.

[Billy Gill]

No one was gonna say no.

[Jeremy]

I mean, I appreciate that, but Danny.

[Dan Ogla]

Hechavaria was a really good shortstop who could not hit.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, he's not a power hitter at all. It might be three.

[Dan Ogla]

Defensive oriented shortstop. No way.

[Billy Gill]

Zero.

[Dan Ogla]

As a brave to 189. He stays at Jeff Francor.

[Billy Gill]

Frenchie, 29.

[Dan Ogla]

There you go.

[Billy Gill]

See, that's a good one.

[Jeremy]

Let me get Dansby, Swanson.

[Dan Ogla]

Ooh, wow, good one.

[Mike Fuentes]

Swanson, 27.

[Billy Gill]

Wow, that's good.

[Dan Ogla]

Thank you. I have an addendum. Three, four, five, seven.

[Mike Fuentes]

Yeah, Faria actually had four.

[Billy Gill]

See, he's been cheating me this whole time. Okay, who are the two names? Should we be thinking outfielders?

[Mike Fuentes]

One of them for sure played outfield.

[Dan Ogla]

Okay.

[Billy Gill]

I don't know if I believe that.

[Jeremy]

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

[Dan Ogla]

Oh, I love that. Like, yeah, go for it.

[Jeremy]

Give us a first Letter.

[Mike Fuentes]

Yes.

[Dan Ogla]

I like this because I like this specifically. That helped. Yeah. And because it's like you're third to guess. So now both of us at least have I get more time. A, right?

[Billy Gill]

S. Initials?

[Dan Ogla]

S. I don't have a clue.

[Juju]

Outfielder.

[Dan Ogla]

S. This isn't helping me at all.

[Jeremy]

Do you want the other initial? I'll give it out even. You two are next.

[Dan Ogla]

You know it.

[Jeremy]

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

[Billy Gill]

The other initial? Give the other initial.

[Jeremy]

Is it gonna be sg? So that means first letter, last name.

[Dan Ogla]

That's really interesting.

[Jeremy]

You don't know. You're not gonna tell us?

[Dan Ogla]

Okay, 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 brakes.

[Mike Fuentes]

Zero.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah. Oh, you know. You know who I'm gonna say? Marcelo Zuna.

[Dan Ogla]

Oh, great one. That's the other one of them.

[Mike Fuentes]

Marcelo Zuna. 20, 23. He had 40 home runs.

[Dan Ogla]

Yeah, man. 145. So 149 for Chris, 145 for Billy.

[Billy Gill]

That was a big one, huh, Chris?

[Mike Fuentes]

Billy already said so. If you guys want to give Jeremy.

[Billy Gill]

No, we have. I have one more.

[Chris Cody]

Exactly.

[Mike Fuentes]

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

[Billy Gill]

Okay.

[Mike Fuentes]

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

[Dan Ogla]

Oh, well, there's a different one. Mark Teixeira.

[Jeremy]

He hit.

[Dan Ogla]

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

[Billy Gill]

I see zero. Hey, we have the same birthday.

[Dan Ogla]

Half a season for the Braves. That's it.

[Billy Gill]

That is wrong.

[Dan Ogla]

Two halves of seasons.

[Billy Gill]

It does seem like that is the case.

[Dan Ogla]

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

[Billy Gill]

17 and 20. 20. Yeah. 20s is high.

[Jeremy]

All right.

[Dan Ogla]

Thank you, Billy.

[Billy Gill]

As I. As I'm reading this, as I live and breathe, it looks like 20 was as high.

[Jeremy]

Sean Green did not play.

[Dan Ogla]

That's. Okay. So that's who I was thinking of. But I'm. There's no way.

[Jeremy]

I thought there's no Greg. Gary.

[Dan Ogla]

It's not Gary Sanchez. Oh, you got it.

[Billy Gill]

Go. Yeah, I got it.

[Jeremy]

Like you got the one. He's a specific.

[Billy Gill]

I got it.

[Jeremy]

And I helped you.

[Billy Gill]

The G is a last name.

[Jeremy]

Okay. Greg Maddox.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, that's a good guess.

[Dan Ogla]

I like that guess.

[Mike Fuentes]

Greg Maddox had two home runs.

[Billy Gill]

Two home runs.

[Dan Ogla]

That's it.

[Billy Gill]

You know. You know, you had a good season as a Brave. Gary Sheffield did.

[Jeremy]

Oh.

[Dan Ogla]

Gary. Gary Sheffield. Gary hit.

[Billy Gill]

Home run.

[Jeremy]

I said Gary that's why.

[Mike Fuentes]

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

[Dan Ogla]

How many did he hit?

[Mike Fuentes]

I'll tell you right now.

[Dan Ogla]

Oh, I'm nervous. I'm nervous because now I'm gonna have to get some home runs.

[Mike Fuentes]

Gary Sheffield had 39 home runs.

[Dan Ogla]

Oh, nice.

[Billy Gill]

Okay, that wasn't good. Yeah, I thought, like, we made sneaking.

[Dan Ogla]

Like, compared to who's left, 39.

[Billy Gill]

I already lost.

[Dan Ogla]

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. 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 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 gonna 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.

[Mike Fuentes]

He hit one home run his entire career.

[Jeremy]

Remember, he has to get to a training.

[Dan Ogla]

Yeah, I, like, really gotta go.

[Billy Gill]

It's not going to rush me, Billy.

[Dan Ogla]

I swear. God.

[Jeremy]

Any other initial hits?

[Dan Ogla]

Billy, please.

[Billy Gill]

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

[Dan Ogla]

Yes. I don't know either.

[Jeremy]

Sorry, Gabe, he's the editor.

[Billy Gill]

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

[Dan Ogla]

No, I'm trying to think. You see?

[Billy Gill]

So why are you rushing me?

[Dan Ogla]

Seriously, like, I. It's Gonna take me 10 minutes to.

[Billy Gill]

Walk to the train.

[Dan Ogla]

It boards at 2. I have a guess that you just want to end it if you. 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.

[Billy Gill]

I don't know, going back and forth here.

[Dan Ogla]

All right, I'm just gonna say a name, because I really. I do have to go.

[Jeremy]

Mike Jacobs.

[Dan Ogla]

I'll say. I'll say. Sean Murphy.

[Billy Gill]

Okay, I'm probably not gonna beat that.

[Dan Ogla]

I don't know what he got to, but I know that I'm gonna have to run to the train.

[Billy Gill]

You can do it. I believe Chris can try.

[Dan Ogla]

I can't believe you did this to me.

[Billy Gill]

Huh? Yeah. You were an athlete. You're a baseball player.

[Mike Fuentes]

We're Sean Murphy at 21 in 2020.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, I'm not gonna beat that.

[Dan Ogla]

Can you please guesser?

[Billy Gill]

You're leaving before you even know.

[Mike Fuentes]

Is it Ryan or Jeff?

[Dan Ogla]

Oh, my God, Jeff.

[Billy Gill]

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

[Jeremy]

I feel like Jeremy pressured you into letting. I need.

[Billy Gill]

What was the Yankee one that we missed before? Just tell us that one.

[Dan Ogla]

What's the number?

[Mike Fuentes]

Jeff Blauser. Seventeen.

[Billy Gill]

All right. What was the Yankee one that we missed?

[Dan Ogla]

The Yankee that you.

[Mike Fuentes]

Not as you expected, Joe Torrey.

[Billy Gill]

All right, 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.
