Welcome to Diamond Quiz, presented by Locked-on Mariners, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day. And here's the host of Diamond Quiz, D.C. Lunberg. Yes, Diamond Quiz is back, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much, J.M. for leading us into it once again today. Diamond Quiz is, of course, part of Locked-on Mariners, which is part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, or T-L-O-P-N-Lop-N-Lop-N, brought to you by. Bilt Bar.

Also remember to follow the show on Twitter at L-O-U-U-Nor-Mariners and follow me on Twitter at D.C. underscore Lundberg, L-U-N-D-B-E-R-G, if you are scoring at home, and this is one of those rare shows where you can score at home because it's Diamond Quiz, it's the game. And we have three contestants today who have previously played the game, but they did not win their games. And I know that they've got the baseball knowledge in their head. Just one person on each episode was a little bit quicker to the button than basically everybody else on the planet would have been that day.

So I brought these three gentlemen back to prove to you that they do know what the hell they're talking about. And the first game was not won by Mr. Jason Hernandez, who was back with us today. J.D., how goes it? I'm confused, because I tried asking Alexa to play Locked-on Mariners, and it thinks it's the Yankees, and for some reason I'm hearing the audiobook of a Connecticut Yankee and King Arthur's Court. What's going on? I have no idea, but that's an awfully... I mean, the rhyme of the ancient mariner would have been closer to Locked-on Mariners than what you're getting. Yeah, but I used that last time. Anyway, it's good to be back on Diamond Quarther.

It's great to be back on Locked on Mariners again. For the third. Because if you've heard Locked On Mariners recently, then my voice is familiar because I've been on for the third show in a row now. Absolutely. Yes. I'm everywhere on the Locked On podcast network these days. What's going on? He is the Mr. Everything on the Locked On podcast network.

And also with us is Mr. Everything at 83 Studios.com, as it were, player of the second game, Mr. Jason Block. Jason, welcome back. Thank you very much. I want to redeem myself. And I hope I can. Great to have you back. And on the third game, Jason Burke is with us.

Jason Burke, welcome to you. Well, I thank you so much. I'm very happy that we're going to have a Jason winning today. And I don't have to really do much to make that happen. So that's good. Exactly. That's actually, you could go away and have a sandwich

and not come back until I close the program and Jason's going to win today. I might do that. It would be make for a better show if you didn't, so I'd appreciate it if you stick around. rules of the game categories and if you answer it, the question right, you get the points and you get to

choose the next category. You can stay with a category for bigger point totals or move to a different category and start over again. 5, 10, and 15 points a piece. We decided before the show that Jason Block will go first and he will pick from among these categories. Hall of Fame snubs,

Blue Jay Dynasty, baseball by the bay, he shall overcome, and Friday the 13th, Part 1, Jason takes the field. Jason Block, where would you like to start? Of course I've got to do this. Friday the 13th, point one, Jason takes a field. Excellent. These are people named Jason. An all-star in his 1996 rookie season, which catcher had a 288 average over his career, Jason Hernandez. Jason Kendall. That is correct, for five points, sir. Where would you like to go?

We've got to go Friday the 13th. Jason takes the first. field. All right. Second question in that category. Though he was an all-star in his rookie season in 1997, injuries befell him and he was done three years later at age 27. Name this Anaheim Angel. Oh, Jason Hernandez. Is this Jason Castro? It is not Jason Castro. One of the other gentlemen, please. No idea. All right. Yeah, no, I got nothing. Okay. Jason Dixon was the answer to that one. Oh, that's right. And Mr. Hernandez has the next selection. Brady, the 13th, Part 1, Jason takes the field.

Closing out Part 1 of the category, pitching for nine different teams over his 15 big league seasons. He made one all-star team as a Pittsburgh pirate in 2013 at age 36. Name this relief pitcher. Hernandez? Jason Izringhausen? Ooh, good guess, not correct, though. one of the other jasons that was a good yes

three more seconds now Jason gilly oh grilly cheese yep and now I can picture I can picture of in a Pittsburgh uniform

absolutely I think you spent a lot of time or a significant amount of time with Pittsburgh at least and that's where he made this also spent some time with the angels oh so you blew both angels

questions, J.D. Just to let you know. I apologize to the Angels fans out there, but we'll go Hall of Fame snubs anyway for five. Oh, way to just move on from humiliation. Drug problems may have kept the writers from allowing this former pirate into the hall, despite his 339 home runs, almost 1,500 RBI and over 2,700 hits among other stats, not to mention excellent defensive play in right field. And named this 1978 National League MVP. Wilson Block. Willie Storgel? Incorrect, sir.

Jason Hernandez. Is this Parker? Yeah, I'll give it to you. Dave Parker is the answer. Oh, the other one, okay. Yep. Hall of Fame for 10. Hall of Fame snubs for 10.

Blue Jay's coach, John McClaread once said of him that he had a chance to hit 60 home runs in the season. Well, he didn't do that. He did slugged Jason Block. Fred McGriff? Correct, sir, for 10 points. Let's go to He Shall Overcome

He Shall Overcome for five I'll just finish the Fred McGrift question 493 home runs In a consistent, reliable And under the radar career Now He Shall Overcome These are about players Who overcame physical anomalies

The result of two separate accidents In his childhood Mordecai 3 Finger Brown Had a successful big league career and was able to get break on his pitches that others couldn't. With which team did Brown pitch the most innings? Block? Cleveland Indians.

Incorrect. Somebody else, please, if you want to ring in? Jason Hernandez. Detroit Tigers? Incorrect. Jason Burke, do you have a guess? I'm going to go with the Pirates. Pirates incorrect.

That had been kind of a recurring theme up until now, but that is not the correct answer. Chicago Cubs. He pitched most for the Chicago. Cubs. Of course. And Jason Block has the next choice. He shall overcome.

He shall overcome for 10 points. As inspirational, a story as baseball had in the 1990s, Jim Abbott was born without a right hand. He tossed a hitter in 1993 against the Cleveland Indians, who was the final Indians batter he faced that day. Crap. Wow. Really?

Jason Hernandez? is? Who is Albert Bell? A, you don't need to say what is. B. No. Somebody, Jason Block. David Ortiz. No, sir. Jason Burke, do you have a guess? Yeah, I'm going to go with Kenny Laughton. Kenny Lopton, incorrect? Were you just naming a Cleveland Indian? I definitely was. Which might be what the other two gentlemen were doing also. Carlos Baerga was the final out of that no-hitter. Jason Block gets to select again. He has... 10 points, Jason Hernandez, 10, Jason Burke yet to score. Let's go back to Hall of Fame snubs, please.

Finish up Hall of Fame snubs for 15 points. Though known more to today's crowd for an off-the-field situation, many feel this pitcher belongs in the hall and is 288 wins and 334 Jason Block. Kurt Schilling. No, sir. No, sir. Ooh! Many feel that this pitcher belongs in the hall, 288 wins,

and 3.34 ERA back up their argument. name this pitcher who retired after 26 seasons at age 46 in 1989. Jason Hernandez. Tommy John? Yes, sir, for 15 points, bringing your total to 25. Wow. Oh, yeah. Let's go with Blue Jay Dynasty for five.

Blue Jay Dynasty. These are about the late 80s and early 90s, Blue Jays teams, which were fantastic, but nobody seems to talk about them today. In 1993, the Blue Jays had the top. three hitters in the American League. John Olerud led the league with a 363 average.

Who came in second and third place? Hernandez. Oh, damn. Joe Carter. Okay. Is that one of them? Keep going. Maybe it's one of them. Keep going. And... You said Alamar

Carter Winfield? Give me two names. Alamar and Joe Carter. One of those is correct. One of them is not Joe Carter's incorrect. Jason Block. Alamar McGriff. Alamar McGrith, incorrect. Jason Burke, do you have a guess? Damn.

I'm going to go Carter and McGriff? The answer is Paul... Is it Alamar and Winfield? Nope, it's Paul Molitor and Roberto Alamar. Malmator hit 332, Alamar 326. About a minute to go in the round. Jason, what's your next selection? Blue Jays, 10. All right.

To bolster their rotation in 1992, the Jays acquired David Cohn from the New York Mets in August, along with a player to be named later, which future MVP did they send to the Mets? Oh. Three seconds, gentlemen. Wow. David Ray.

Oh. I don't know. I don't know. Oh, I know. Jeff Kent was the answer. No kidding. Jeff Kent and a player to be named later who wound up being Ryan Thompson. Jason Hernandez, one more selection.

Blue Jays for. Blue Jays 415. Tom Henke is the all-time Blue Jay leader in Saves. He left as a free agent after the 1992 season and was replaced by a man who led the A.L. in Saves in 1993. Name this pitcher who took over the closer's role. Oh, I can see his name. You can see his name?

Yeah. A couple more seconds before I caught up a call time. Jason Hernandez. Is it? Ward? Yes, it's Dwayne Ward for 15 more points as 12. Round one expires, gentlemen. Recapping the scores, Jason Hernandez 40 points.

Jason Block at 10. Jason Burke, yet to score. I was going to clean up that battle all the bay, though. There's a reason I avoided it. Well, actually, I will read you those questions at the commercial break to see how you guys would have done. But for you listening at home, we have an advertisement for Bilt Bar. Honestly, I don't know what I can say about Bilt Bar that I haven't said. already. Well, there is

snark-snick-snack, but that doesn't make any sense. So I'll just reiterate that they are great tasting, low-calorie, low-sugar protein bars made with real chocolate. Lots of great flavors to choose from. My favorites are chocolate, orange, chocolate peanut butter, and of course, chocolate raspberry. They are a great snack for

someone like me who knows he should eat healthier but who won't sacrifice taste for nutrition. Also great for a post-workout protein boost or a quick breakfast on your way out the door. The non-nutty flavors are all made in a nut-free facility and they're gluten-free to boot. Head on over to builtbar.com and use the promo code locked on to get $10 off your first order.

And don't forget about JD's favorite new beverage, Bilt Boost drink powder. Yeah, baby. My favorite flavor, of course, was Pena Colada. So if you like Pete... I don't know, mine is the black cherry raspberry. Which is also an excellent selection. But if you like Pena Colada and getting caught in the rain, go to Biltbar.com and don't forget that promo code locked on to get $10.

off your first order. No Mariner's trivia questions today since the whole show is trivia. Second round of Diamond Quiz will take place following a word from Rock Auto. With the ever-increasing number of makes and models, it is now impossible to stock all the parts you need in a traditional chain storefront. Why endure often pointless or seemingly intimidating questioning and wait while the counterman orders the parts on his computer, choosing the only brand his warehouse happens to carry? You have computers with access to Rock Auto.com. at home and in your pocket. One reason to repair and maintain your cars

is to save money that you can use for other important things like mortgage and food. Why would you choose to spend 30%, 50%, even 100% more for the exact same auto parts at a chain store or car dealership? Chain stores have different price tiers

for professional mechanics and do it yourselfers. Rockado.com's prices are the same for everybody and are reliably low. Rockaoto.com, as I said is for everybody and does not require membership or account login. Rockado.com has a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years. Go to rockato.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.

The rockato.com catalog is unique and remarkably easy to navigate. Go to rockato.com right at this exact moment to see all the parts available for your car or truck. Right, locked on in their How Did You Hear About Us? Box. so they know we sent you. Amazing selection, reliably low prices, all the parts your car will ever need. Rock Auto.com.
