Transcript

[Chris Cody]

Are you feeling more fulfilled now that you're back to work on August 15th?

[Jeremy Walker]

No, I need a vacation.

[Chris Cody]

See the movie that critics are saying is an awesome look at that crowd pleasing, fist pumping all out brawl of a film.

[Jeremy Walker]

You're right about that.

[Chris Cody]

They're coming after our family. Go fix this.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Oh my.

[Chris Cody]

Nobody 2, rated R. Holding in theaters August 15th.

[Taylor]

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.

[Jeremy Walker]

Interesting how you knew Reggie Jackson. That one.

[Taylor]

Okay, so let's get this straight. You think that I. Hi, everybody.

[Jeremy Walker]

Are we talking about last week?

[Taylor]

Yeah, last week's show. You think that.

[Jeremy Walker]

Well, there was a controversy if you didn't join us last week. Jeremy Walker, everybody joins us everywhere. Jeremy walked into a room holding a paper like, like. And I was just like, that guy clearly looked.

[Taylor]

You have to understand that even I could have looked directly at that paper.

[Jeremy Walker]

You should just know what the category walk in normally. Like, just like. All right, I'm holding this paper. Haven't looked at it. But like the extended arm is just.

[Taylor]

I didn't want to see it.

[Jeremy Walker]

Yeah, but it's just the extended arm implies that you cheated right before that.

[Taylor]

All right, well, this is the Pitch Clock and Chris is just upset because he broke his win streak of four. I won last week. Hi, everybody.

[Jeremy Walker]

I know Taylor already did it, but people wait for me to do it.

[Taylor]

So Taylor, tell us what our is for today.

[Jeremy Walker]

Go ahead.

[Kyle Sealoff]

It's darts 501. So the objective of this darts game is for each individual to work their way down from 501. So like if it's RBIs in a single season, whatever your number is, we're subtracting that from 501. Yeah. You're trying to get as close to zero as possible. The only difference between this and normal darts is that you, you, you guys have to go past zero.

[Jeremy Walker]

So you have to be.

[Kyle Sealoff]

And then whoever's close to.

[Taylor]

No darts. I don't know. I don't know. Darts.

[Jeremy Walker]

I'm with you. I kind of like when said Darts 501, I was like, what the hell is he talking about? But there is a game where in Darts you start at 501 and everything you hit, if you hit a 24, you get 24 off your score. The goal is the first team to whittle down to zero.

[Taylor]

Okay, we can go past zero is what you're saying.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Yes, but it, once you go past zero, it's whoever's the closest to zero.

[Jeremy Walker]

Okay, gotcha.

[Kyle Sealoff]

It's going to be best. Best of three. The first round is RBI's in a single season.

[Taylor]

All right, so, Chris.

[Jeremy Walker]

All right, I'm going to go.

[Taylor]

You go ahead and go first.

[Jeremy Walker]

Paul Canerco.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Paul Canerko's career high or single season high was 117. All right, so, Chris, you're at three. You're at 384.

[Jeremy Walker]

I was hoping he got to like 131 here, but go ahead.

[Taylor]

I mean, so Barry Bonds.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Barry Bonds. Single season high is 137. So, Jeremy, you're at 364. You're at 384.

[Jeremy Walker]

This is such a fun game. Yeah, I like this, like, random names like who's the guy? There was just these guys that could just like, drive.

[Kyle Sealoff]

You could go as many rounds.

[Jeremy Walker]

I'm going to go with.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Damn it.

[Chris Cody]

I'll just go. Albert Puos.

[Taylor]

It's a good one.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Albert Puos's career or single season high, 137. Chris Cody, you're at 247.

[Taylor]

Miguel Cabrera, it's confusing. I know he, like, led the the league in RBIs. I just don't know at the time how many.

[Jeremy Walker]

That was Triple Crown, right?

[Kyle Sealoff]

Miguel Cabrera's career high in a single season attaboy was139.

[Taylor]

Oh.

[Kyle Sealoff]

So, Jeremy, you're down to 220.

[Jeremy Walker]

I am going to go.

[Chris Cody]

With.

[Jeremy Walker]

I'll go a Rod.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Alex Rodriguez's career high in a single season, 156rbi.

[Taylor]

No way, Chris.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Cody, you're down to 91.

[Taylor]

Oh, all right.

[Jeremy Walker]

Babe Ruth, different time.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Babe Ruth's career high in a single season, 168 RBIs. Jeremy, you're down to 57.

[Jeremy Walker]

Told you it was a different time.

[Taylor]

I'm not happy about that.

[Kyle Sealoff]

You guys, a reminder. You guys have to go past zero.

[Jeremy Walker]

I'll go. I need to go. I think I'll go. Hanley Ramirez, that's a, that's a really good one.

[Taylor]

And mine, I feel like his high.

[Jeremy Walker]

Like 103 or something.

[Taylor]

Mine is from the exact same era of Marlins. So we'll, we'll, we'll get to it in just a second. Once Taylor lets me know where you're at.

[Jeremy Walker]

He's probably had a 110 season.

[Kyle Sealoff]

He has had a 110 season. His single season tie was 111 RBI. So, Chris, Cody, your final score for, for this first game is minus 20.

[Taylor]

So that means Cody Ross.

[Jeremy Walker]

Damn it.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Cody Ross's career high in a single season, 79, 90 RBI. That puts him at minus 33. And that's going to be one point to Chris.

[Jeremy Walker]

Let's go.

[Taylor]

That was with the Giants, wasn't it?

[Kyle Sealoff]

It was with the Marlins. 2009.

[Jeremy Walker]

Dude had a nice season.

[Taylor]

And now we get to our 2020 league baseball expert, the former radio voice, current TV voice, in his first year on the television broadcast, it's Kyle Seal off, who you guys might remember from some old clips on the Levitard show playing around with Chris Cody and Billy Gill during spring training. Kyle, welcome to the show. Love the teal Marlins hat, and thank you for joining me today.

[Chris Cody]

I know this is the best, isn't it? I was pumped when they wore them over the hall of Fame weekend, so I had to grab one. But yeah, dude, it's great to be with you. It's bizarre you and I are doing this when we're usually doing it on the broadcast together.

[Taylor]

That's right. That's right. And I'm normally upsetting you with all sorts of weird pop culture references, but today we're doing baseball and baseball only. So you're here as the voice of the Marlins, and it's time to start with the Marlins. I. I've tried to avoid them as much as possible on this show, but now there's a real reason to discuss the Miami Marlins. And for the people who have not been paying attention, the Marlins just now snapped a streak of six straight series wins as the Astros take this series from them this week. They went from 16 games under on June 13 to 500 by August 3 with a sweep of the New York Yankees. They're the youngest team in baseball, Kyle. How have they done it?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, it's a loaded question, but I think it's a good one. I'm, you know, look on, on the surface, I, I think you point to the pitching that's obviously been much better up until recently. In the last couple of days, I think the coaching staff fits perfectly because addition to having the youngest team in baseball, they have the youngest coaching staff. I think when you start to put all that stuff together and you do have to start in the front office and hey, I'll say this, too, and I've said it on the broadcast. It's. It's the most unsexy thing in the world. But ownership has invested tens of millions in dollars to the infrastructure of the organization. I promise you, prior to them spending this kind of money, they had no chance because they weren't going to keep up with the rest of the league. It Required tens of millions of dollars just to be competitive, just to stay with the industry standard, whether that's literal human bodies or technology and computers and all this stuff, to give them a fighting chance. That to me is really where it starts. Without that stuff, I don't think they're any good. Again, you start to put all that stuff that I just said together, you can start to understand why they start to having. They're having success. So again, I know that's a lot, but it's way beneath the surface of just well, they're pitching really well. It's going so much deeper than that to give him a chance to win here.

[Taylor]

And so now I do want to give you an opportunity to highlight a player here. So I'm going to pick three. You know, we talked about the pitching. I'm going to bring it to the, the, the starting lineup. At the moment you got Kyle Stowers, who you and I both have been advocating to at least get some MVP votes and consideration considering what he's done for this team and booing them in the early parts of the season before they got hot. There's Agustin Ramirez, who leads nearly every single offensive category amongst rookies, certainly in the National League. And then there is Jacob Marcy, who basically has lit the world on fire in his first five, six games here. You know, had a historic opening weekend, has shown a lot of patience at the plate, ability to drive the ball, and has made some pretty spectacular plays in center field. So Kyle, I know it's tough to pick one, but between Stowers, Ramirez and Marcy, let, let's focus on one of them and give these folks an opportunity to hear some more.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I think it's Kyle Stowers. Last season, Kyle Stowers had an OPS + Jeremy of 54. He was 46% worse than league average. If you told me at the end of last season and the Marlins made the decision to designate Kyle Stowers for assignment, I think there's a chance that 29 other teams pass on him. He clears waivers, he ends up off the 40 man, and he's a 4A player in Jacksonville. His OPS plus and you and I are chatting at 10:15 in the morning on August 6th prior to game three against the Astros, is 155. He is literally 101% better year over year. To me, just to look at that one number to literally be, per the data and the analytics, 101% better version of yourself, year over year in less than a year's time in the major leagues, Doing something that I personally think is the hardest to do than any other professional sport.

[Taylor]

So now we've got a new category.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Career wins for a pitcher.

[Taylor]

Oh, good lord.

[Jeremy Walker]

Who the hell is the all time winner wins? I'm just, just. Cause I can't think right now and I need a second. I'll go Randy Johnson first.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Randy Johnson had 303. So Chris Cody, you're going to be at 190.

[Taylor]

To be a short one. Yeah, and. And it's going to be so short because I know that I'm about to go over. If I'm going to guess in my brain, it's 5:14 and it's Cy Young.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Cy Young had 511 wins. Why would Jeremy's going to pitchers wins.

[Jeremy Walker]

If it was going to be able to get just one name in the game's over.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Okay. I didn't think he was going to get Cy Young.

[Taylor]

Well, what else was I going to do? My boy Cy Young that I know is over 500 wins.

[Jeremy Walker]

The guy that's the.

[Taylor]

The pitching award is named after. He also has losses.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Chris, you could still.

[Jeremy Walker]

Jeff Heisman.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Chris, you could still win this.

[Jeremy Walker]

I know.

[Taylor]

Yeah, easily.

[Jeremy Walker]

Tell me the number I need. What do I need here?

[Kyle Sealoff]

You need 198, but you have as many rounds to get it. Like just. You could name. You could name pitchers that you think could start chipping away at 198.

[Taylor]

Don't back guess back to back weeks of strategy to Chris. Interesting. Interesting bias that's happening.

[Jeremy Walker]

Sandy Alcantra.

[Taylor]

You'Re just going to really chip away. God.

[Kyle Sealoff]

At the time of the recording, Sandy Alcantara, 46 wins. So Chris Cody, you're at 152.

[Jeremy Walker]

You know what, let me just. I'll take a big chunk out here. Shohei Ohtani, it's not that big of a chunk.

[Taylor]

It's a chunk though.

[Jeremy Walker]

I was gonna say Trevor Rogers. So just be happy.

[Taylor]

I said.

[Kyle Sealoff]

At the time of the recording, Shohei Ohtani is 38 wins. So Chris Cody, you're down to 114. Keep chipping away, baby.

[Jeremy Walker]

Trying to think of someone who's been in the league for like three years, but it's been damn good for like three years. I'm gonna go. Well, this is not three years. I'll go Paul Skeens next.

[Taylor]

I never got.

[Kyle Sealoff]

At the time of this recording, Paul Skeens has 16 wins. I'll tell you right now, the way Chris is playing, a win is within range.

[Taylor]

It totally is.

[Jeremy Walker]

I got a good one that I think will help I'll take a chunk out of this. Max Freed.

[Kyle Sealoff]

At the time of this recording, max freed has 84 wins, so Chris Cody's down to 14.

[Taylor]

Sucks.

[Jeremy Walker]

All right. I almost just said Trevor Rogers, but that might be too much. Hold on, that's not my guess. Yuri Perez, did he get more than 10 last year? Oh, no. How long has he been around for?

[Kyle Sealoff]

At the time of this recording, Yuri Perez has eight wins, so Chris Cody is down to six.

[Jeremy Walker]

Oh, that's even. Damn it, this is hard.

[Taylor]

I know the name that's at the top of my head that I would go with just for fun, but I. I think it would make it even more difficult on him. Scrubal.

[Kyle Sealoff]

At the time of this recording, 51 times. Chris Cody's at minus 45.

[Taylor]

Dude, can I tell you? Can I. I would have gone. I was gonna go. First of all, I think if you had guessed Trevor Rogers, you would have beat me.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Trevor Rogers, he had 18 wins.

[Taylor]

Yep. I knew it.

[Jeremy Walker]

It.

[Taylor]

I. I can't believe that you. Literally, from your second guess, I know. We're teasing. Trevor Rogers.

[Jeremy Walker]

Trevor Rogers.

[Taylor]

Trevor Rogers. Incredible. Let's talk about the Toronto Blue Jays, huh? They've stormed back from being a pretty mediocre team, you know, in. By the end of May, a team that was just two games over.500 entering June, now sitting around 20 games over.500. Kyle, what's changed for them and. And what makes this team so good as a bit of a surprise in the American League?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I mean, I think they. They pitch pretty well. Again, I think you. If you don't get good pitching and you're constantly behind every night, it's. It's hard to win. But go look at Nathan Lucas and Addison Barger and Alejandro Kirk, Ernie Clement, Joey Loperfido. Some of these guys that you've probably never heard of before are having great seasons, and they're huge complimentary pieces to a team that's pitching well. The other thing, too, is I watch the Blue Jays a little bit when I get an opportunity to do so. They do every little thing right?

[Taylor]

Yep.

[Chris Cody]

Generally mistake free baseball. They don't bash their way to a win every night, but they just do every little thing right. And when they get on base, they'll put pressure on you. That leads to extra base hits or a base hit with two outs to score a run. So I.

[Taylor]

That.

[Chris Cody]

That's a. That's a real team. I don't think that's a fluke.

[Taylor]

Let's take a look at the AL wild card race. Now that The Blue Jays have jumped into that first place spot in the American League east and we could may pick a team to focus on here because there's a couple of AL east teams that we'll talk about. Red Sox, they've been surging, playing really good ball as well. Obviously they had that Profit Devers trade earlier in the year and they've only played better since. Have some guys who were really standing out and young players who were standing out. There's the Seattle Mariners who were really aggressive at the deadline. They, they acquire Yohanio Suarez. They acquired Josh Naylor, who's like stealing bases at a record rate since he's been acquired. Pretty funny. And then there's the Yankees, who, who have been falling apart at the seams. You watched it happen in Miami as the Marlins swept them. Which of those teams stands out to you that you want to highlight here, Kyle?

[Chris Cody]

Well, Seattle and Texas. I think the American League west is going to get really interesting. Jeremy down the stretch here. I think Seattle had the best trade deadline above anybody. Obviously everybody knows how good their starting pitching is. But to go out and get Suarez and Nailer and put those guys around Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh, that's a real team. I think if they get in, I. I honestly think the Seattle Mariners could win the World Series. I really do think that's how good they are. Nathan Evaldi with the Rangers is an unbelievable story. Like that guy's made like a million bucks and he's been doing this for 15 years and he's aging like a fine wine with Jacob deGrom who's overcome his injuries. But if I took a dark horse to win the World Series right now, I think it's the Seattle Mariners.

[Taylor]

Kyle, I. I'm springing one thing on you real quick. I'm just going to look for a quick note. We Norma, do what we refer to as a golden era of baseball. Star of the week on this show. Just a quick note on Kyle Schwarber. We've talked to Kyle Seof, we've talked about Kyle Stowers. Kyle Schwerber has been ridiculous. Anything that you got on Schwarber, I.

[Chris Cody]

Think he's the front one. Or to win the National League mvp every time they're down on their luck, they've lost a couple games, they need a big hit to extend a winning streak. That dude comes up and it's generally not a single. It's like 35 rows deep somewhere.

[Taylor]

Exactly.

[Chris Cody]

As long as he, I think he is in such good position to win the National League mvp, if he remains very steady, doesn't need to be elite. In the left final two months, I think he's going to win the National League mvp.

[Taylor]

We have Kyle. Kyle Schwarber winning the National League mvp. Kyle Stowers, certainly the Marlins mvp. And probably top five, Kyle Seof, our MVP today. Thank you, Kyle. And now it's time for us to get back to our game with Chris Cody.

[Kyle Sealoff]

This round to settle it, it's going to be.

[Jeremy Walker]

I just wanted a game of three.

[Taylor]

Yeah. Okay.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Most strikeouts in a single season for a pitcher.

[Taylor]

Okay. Nolan Ryan.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Nolan Ryan's career high in a single season. 383 strikeouts. Jeremy, you're down to 118.

[Jeremy Walker]

Um, Verlander.

[Taylor]

It's a good one.

[Kyle Sealoff]

In 2019, Justin Verlander had 300 strikeouts. So that brings Chris Cody down to 201.

[Taylor]

Perfect.

[Jeremy Walker]

Yeah. You know what career high I've got? Weird.

[Taylor]

I've got a. I've got one. Eric Gagne.

[Jeremy Walker]

I like the strategy. I get what you're doing.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Eric Gagne's career high in a single season. 137. Jeremy is going to go over, but he's at minus 19.

[Taylor]

I overshot it.

[Jeremy Walker]

Which means I got to be under 220. Correct. Here I'm at. I'm at 201.

[Taylor]

Yeah, you got to be under.

[Kyle Sealoff]

You just have to be closer.

[Jeremy Walker]

Between 201.

[Kyle Sealoff]

- 19.

[Jeremy Walker]

Between 201 and 220.

[Kyle Sealoff]

- 19 is not bad.

[Jeremy Walker]

I'm going to go with a guy that I don't think ever had, like, he was great in the playoffs, but I don't think of this guy as ever having, like, a dominant season where he would have had, like, 250, 260. And it's a marlin.

[Taylor]

Oh.

[Jeremy Walker]

And I just picture his career high being somewhere in this range.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Jeremy Walker]

I'm gonna go.

[Taylor]

Josh Beckett. Yeah, It's a good one. I think it's. It's gotta. I wonder if he ever got to 200.

[Kyle Sealoff]

Chris Cody, you're at 201. Josh Beckett's career high in a single season was 2009 with the Red Sox. 199. You're down to 2.

[Jeremy Walker]

No, that's terrible.

[Taylor]

Oh, my God. Yeah. That's not good.

[Jeremy Walker]

This guy. I'm about to say, my. The buddy of mine that, like, he's.

[Taylor]

Not a buddy of mine.

[Jeremy Walker]

I just know who he is. He probably has, like, 47 career strikeouts. Like, you know what I mean? It's one of those where it's like, damn. Oh, man. But whatever the pitch clock's running out on me. Whatever. I'm just gonna guess. I don't have a better guess. I'm trying to think of, like, catastrophic injuries after, like, three starts.

[Taylor]

I got nothing.

[Jeremy Walker]

Tyler Kinley.

[Taylor]

Oh, Tyler Kinley.

[Jeremy Walker]

I bet he's with the Rockies. He was with the Marlins. Like, he's.

[Taylor]

He's probably played five seasons, but, like. Like, he. He's like a. I don't know.

[Jeremy Walker]

He's not a reliever that gets used.

[Taylor]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Jeremy Walker]

I can tell.

[Taylor]

I don't know.

[Kyle Sealoff]

You were at 2. He had 72 strikeouts. Chris Cody finishes at minus 70.

[Taylor]

Wow. I win. What a back to back. Back to back.

[Jeremy Walker]

I ruined this.

[Taylor]

Wow.

[Jeremy Walker]
