Welcome to Diamond Quiz, presented by Locked-on Mariners, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day. Here's the host of Diamond Quiz, D.C. Lundberg. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, Diamond Quiz has returned for another edition. Hopefully not as bad as it was last time, but we shall see in a few moments. Ow! Yeah, I know. The material was a little rough last time.

Hopefully I've toned it down a little bit, so we have more right answers. Hopefully it's just as fun. I am D.C. Lundberg, ladies and gentlemen, welcoming you to Diamond Quiz, presented by Locked-on Mariners, part of the Locked-on podcast network, or, of course, T-L-O-P-N or T-O-P-N or T-Lopin, brought to you by Rock Auto.

Yes, Diamond Quiz is back. We have three contestants ready to test their baseball knowledge against one another, ladies and gentlemen. The first of these contestants is, well, in effect, he's my boss. He's the channel coordinator for the baseball MLB channel here on the Lockdown Podcast Network. He's the man who hired me. So in effect, he's kind of responsible for the nonsense that's been going on in this program since January. And that's just me shifting the blame, of course.

Mr. Sean Woodley of Locked-on Raptors. Sean, how are you doing today? I'm doing great. My questions better be easy or there will be consequences. Either way, I'm happy to have you here, Sean. Thank you for doing this. We really appreciate having you here. I'm glad to be here.

I am pretty good at basketball trivia. Baseball, we'll see. I'm not sure. Or maybe I'll surprise myself. else, but I'm glad to be here either way. We shall find out in 15, 16, 17 minutes, depending on how the crow flies. Next contestant comes to us from Locked-on Rangers.

He is the host of said Locked-on Rangers program. He is, in fact, Bryce Padderick. Bryce, welcome to Diamond Quiz. Oh, happy to be here as your A.L. West, leading Rangers correspondent. At least as of recording this, hopefully they don't lose before this goes out, because that'd be really embarrassing. Well, we're recording this right now.

It's 10.12 a.m. Pacific Standard time. So I don't know if any games have gotten underway just quite yet, but I think most of them are going to be finished by the time this goes up. So for your sake, I do hope that they win, just so you can, are they 1 and 0, yeah, just 1 and 0 so far right at this exact moment, yes? Yes, 1.0 with a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies last night in a, you know, normally I love pitcher's duels, but that one was just kind of boring, honestly.

I mean, Lance Lynn was dealing, but, like, I mean, it got spicy at the end. Like, hopefully the clerk forgot how to throw a fastball in the strike zone, but, you know, he figured it out later. So, we're all good. We're all good. All right. And our third contestant, I really appreciate this person being here. Literally a last-minute replacement, ladies and gentlemen, from Locked-on Blue Jays, A.J. Andrews. AJ, thank you so much for stepping in at the very last minute.

Well, it was either this or listen to Taylor Swift's new album for the 19th time. So I might as well take a break so I can come back to it with a fresh head. I think it made the wise choice. I have explained the rules to the contestants prior to the game. I'll explain them to you at home. We've got questions. We've got answers. We've got points.

The categories for round one are as follows, ladies and gentlemen. Apropos of nothing. Recent league leaders, nicknames, Hall of Famers by team, and Mulligan Stew. We did draw names prior to the game to see who would go first, and thank goodness my boss won the draw. Sean, you may select the first category

and get us started here on Diamond Quiz today. All right, let's go with nicknames. Nicknames. Which diminutive former Phillies shortstop was known as J-roll. AJ is in there first. Jimmy Rollins. That is correct. Five points.

Five points on the board first. Where would you like to go? I'll go Hall of Famers by team. Hall of Famers by Team. I will name some Hall of Famers who played for multiple teams. You give me the one team that they all have in common. Tom Seaver, Ken Griffey Jr., Harold Baines. Bryce.

Mariners? Incorrect, sir. Somebody else, please. AJ. Orioles. Incorrect. Sean, do you have a guess? Is it the Chicago White Sox? Yes, sir. It is the Chicago White Sox. Five points.

Tom Sever, Ken Griffey Jr. all played for the Chicago White Sox at some point in their careers. And Mr. Woodley, sir, you have the next selection. Yeah, let's go with nicknames again. Nicknames this time for 10 points. Which slender relief pitcher is known as the String Bean Slinger? Nobody's ringing in on this one so far. up. Yeah, Sean, just a little late to the draw, I'm afraid. That was Carl Edwards Jr. Or as I like to call him, Carl's Jr. Sean, you do have the next selection, however.

Former Ray. All right. Let's go with recent league leaders. Recent league leaders beginning that category with this five-point question. Who was last year's American League batting champion? Bryce. Tim Anderson. Tim Anderson's correct. Led all of baseball, as a matter of fact, at 335. Everybody's on. the board five points across. Bryce, you have the next selection. Good game so far. Hmm.

Let's do recent league leaders for 10 points. Okay, continuing in the category. Which national leaguer led all of baseball in 2018 with a 1.70 earned run average? Bryce? I want to say

Oh, crap. Yeah, I got nothing. Okay. That's all right. Somebody else, please. Let's see. That is AJ. I'll say, Janjur.

Incorrect. Sean, do you have a guess? Jacob de Grom? Yes, for 10 points. Woo-hoo. So that brings your scoring out of 15 points. You're the opponents. I want to say Ryu, by the way.

I was going to say for you. That's what I was going to say. I took the head for you. That was last year. That's okay. Sean, you're in the lead, and you have the next election. Yeah, let's go with Hall of Famers by team again.

All right. back to that one for 10 points. Harold Baines, Frank Thomas, Reggie Jackson. AJ. The Oakland A.S. Correct, for 10 more points. Let's finish Hall of Famers.

Let's finish Hall of Famers by Team 15 points. Is this question? Harold Baines, Ferguson Jenkins, and Gaylord Perry. Bryce. Who are the Phillies? No, sir. Somebody else, please. AJ.

Is that the Orioles? No, it's not the Orioles. Harold Baines, Ferguson, Jenkins, Gaylord Perry. Sean, do you have a guess? Yeah, I wrote it as my buzzet because my brain is stupid. Is it the Cubs? It's not the Cubs either. Harold Baines, Ferguson Jenkins, and Gaylord Perry all played...

Is it the Rangers? Yes, the Rangers. I'm so stupid. Gailor Perry literally is, like, the exit that you take when you're going up to, from, like, Dallas to the Frisco AA ballpark. Thank you, Bryce. That erases the embarrassment of

that erased the embarrassment of me thinking Ken Griffey Jr. is an Oriole. So thank you. I forgot that Harold Bain was a ranger. I knew they look. I'm like, I knew Fergie and Perry, but I was like, oh my gosh. Everybody has forgotten that Harold Baines is a ranger. Ferguson Jenkins, though, I didn't even know he was a ranger

until I researched this quite honestly. I knew about Furgy Ferg. All right, there you go. Sean, I believe, has the next selection, does he not? I think it was AJ. Okay, I'm sorry, AJ. What is your next choice? I'll go nothing for five.

Apropos of nothing. Big, sure-handed first baseman, Andres Gala Raga, was known as the big cat. Kats. AJ. That was going to answer, Big Cat. No. Is it Cats Casmat Silly? I don't know.

No, I'm sorry. I'll finish the question for the gentleman. I'll reread the whole thing. Big sure-handed first baseman, Andres Galaraga, was known as the Big Cat. Cat Scratch Fever was recorded by what Motor City Madman? Sean. Ted Nugent. Yes, sir, for five points.

Now we get the gist of this category. Apropos of nothing. Sean, you do have the next selection. You're in the lead by five points. 20 for you. AJ 15, Bryce 5, close game so far. About a minute to go in the round. Let's go recent league leaders.

Let's finish off recent league leaders. In 2016, 2016, which American Leaguer led all of baseball with 47 home runs. That is AJ. Chris Davis? Not Chris Davis. Good guest, though. Somebody else, please. Bryce is in there.

Take two shots at once. It's okay. Bryce. I want to say, running out of time. Miguel Cabrera? No, Sean, do you have a guess? Was it Edwin Encarnacion? It was not. It was Mark Trumbo.

I was tossing in my head. I knew it was one of the Orioles. That was weird. That's why Chris Davis was a pretty good guess. That's why Chris Davis was a good guess. I was going to say Chris Davis, because the other Chris Davis. I don't know which one you were guessing.

That's why I said. I asked him K. Chris Davis, because, you know, you got to have some way to differentiate him. And also, he just destroyed the Rangers. So, you know, I've got to give him something. Sean, you have the next election. Yeah, let's go nickname. Let's finish off nicknames.

A gold glove winner in 1987. This catcher was mostly a platoon partner with Don Slot in Pittsburgh. Name this catcher known as Spanky. That's about it on that one, I think, ladies and gentlemen. James Span. James Spankton. Nope. Mike LaValleye. Anybody remember Mike LaValleye here?

Absolutely not. Absolutely not. The late 80s pirates are not my guilt. That's literally before I was born. Same. Well, that's about it for round one, ladies and gentlemen. Good game so far. Sean's in the lead with 20 points. AJ, not far behind with 15 points. Bryce on the board with five.

Round two points will be doubled. And we will be back with that round after a word from Rock Auto.

Once again, your host, D.C. Lundberg. Thank you very much, J.M. Diamond Quiz, presented by Locked-on Mariners, presented by Rock Otto Bichette, has returned. Recapping the scores before round two, Sean's in the lead with 20 points.

AJ, not far behind with 15 points. Bryce also not far behind with five points. Points are doubled in round 2, 10, 20, and 30 points on offer, respectively. Anything can happen. Somebody usually pulls away in round 2, as has been tradition. Let's hope that doesn't happen again. Let's hope it stays nice and close. Last correct answer was given by Sean, so he will have the first selection from among these categories. The Diamond D Quiz Spelling Bee, epic movie trailers, technicalities, a cup of Joe,

and a sinker. Hmm. Hmm. Let's start with Diamond Quiz Spelling Bee. Going right forward, huh? It seemed like everyone else was scared of it, so that seems like my strategy is, frighten my contestants.

All right. I'm easily frightened, so, you know, pick it in the category. All right. Diamond Quiz Spelling Bee, first question in that category. Spell the last name of the player who ended the 1960 World Series with a home run. Sean. M-A-Z-E-R-O-S-K-I?

Yes, sir, for 10 points is correct. Just qualification, Z isn't a letter here in America. I'm sorry, I think it's a two-to-one vote. Majority rules here, I'm sorry. I am close enough to the Canadian border that I'll accept it. Wow. Sean, what's your next choice? Yeah, let's go with Spelling Bee again.

All right, gonna be daring and try the next one. Spell the last name of the 2009 American League Sy Young Award winner who has been named to six All-Star teams. Nobody wants to try this one, it looks like. Sean's in there. I don't know the time buzzer. But I'll say V-E-R-L-A-N-D-E-R. You know, that's not a bad guess.

It's not correct. though. One of the other people, please. We know it's not Justin Verlander because that was the correct spelling of Verlander. 2009 A-O. Yeah. Time ran out though. Do you want to try it after? You can try, time's expired, but do you want to try it anyway?

No, because that was my guess. Okay. I was going to say Cliff Lee, but I thought he's in the... That's a little easy to spell. Yeah, I'm not going to put L-E-E-E in the spelling fee, but I would put G-R-E-I-N-K-E in the spelling. Oh. Zach Grinky won the 2009 American League

Sy Young. Sean Woodley has the next choice. Let's keep going with the spelling. This is fun. Let's get rid of it, huh? All right. Spell the last name of the Oakland Catcher, who was the 1988 All-Star Game MVP.

You didn't get Mike LaValleur. Not surprised no one's ringing in on this. AJ. Well, that's with the 80s catchers. M-A-C-F-A-R-L-A-N-E. Not a bad guess. not correct, though. Mad for something.

Of course. You're not going to lose points, so it doesn't hurt to try. Nobody else is going to however it looks like. Time is up. S-M-I-T-H. I don't know. There's literally no idea. L-E-E.

If it's Steinbeck, I'm going to be mad at myself. I got bad news for you, AJ. Damn it! S-T-E-I-N-B-A-C-H was the correct answer. I am sorry. We have four categories left, epic movie trailers,

technicalities, a cup of Joe and a sinker. Sean, you may choose from among those. Let's go with a cup of Joe. A cup of Joe. These are about people named Joe. Amazingly, it took this man three years to be voted into the Hall of Fame after he became eligible. Named this

all-time, AJ. This is Joe DiMaggio. Yes, it's Joe DiMaggio. Amazingly, not a first ballot Hall of Famer. Took three tries known as the Yankee Clipper. AJ, you're now just five points behind Sean on a very close game, Bryce with five, Sean 30, AJ 25, AJ has the next election. Stick with Joe.

Let's do, let's stick with Joe. Though he's currently the longest tenured umpire, he is usually voted by the players, AJ. Joe West. Joe West is correct. You've just taken the lead at 45 points. He's routinely voted among the players as among the worst umpires in baseball, named as venerable but disliked arbiter. You do have the lead 45 points, and you have the next.

I know it is Cowboy Joe West. Cowboy Joe West, yes. Hey, he gave the Blue Jays a win yesterday. I'm on a couple of bad calls, so I'll take it. Every time he starts ejecting players left and right, I just feel like he has under the country album to promote. He just wants to get his album out there. Cowboy Joe Bichette in the chat.

Oh, my. AJ, where would you like to go? Um, let's go movie trailers. Epic movie trailers. You know, the movie trailer voice can make anything sound tough. Here are some descriptions of past and present big leaguers that may make them sound a little more epic than they really were. Standing at 5'4.6 and weighing in at a robust 165 pounds, baseball is a buzz over this three-time batting champion in 2017 and 2017. In 2017, Betteette, in 2017, American League MVP, you'll be so excited, you'll bang a trash can.

Your discretion is advised. Bryce, you have the next selection, 15 points. You know, let's go epic movie trailers for 20. Yeah, continuing for 20 points. This could get you in second place if you get this right. Coming soon to a theater near you. Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, this fine fielding shortstop hit 2.15 over his nine Major League seasons.

And is the name, AJ. Who is Mendoza? Yes, Mario Mendoza Hit 2.15 over his nine Major League seasons and is the namesake for a nickname for a 200 batting average. 65 points you have now. Name sake. Yep.

Definitely the right answer. Where would you like to go next, AJ? I think we have to finish that category. Let's finish the category. This 160-pound lead-off special. has a career on base percentage of 377 and a 376 slugging average. He stole 558 bases and a 17. AJ.

Is Juan Pierre? Juan Pierre is incorrect. I'll pick up where I left off. Stole 5508 bases in a 17-year career that ended in 1997, mostly with the Dodgers, rated G. Sean. Oh, God. I'm wrong. Ricky Henderson.

I'm so wrong. I don't have to call it. Bryce, do you have a guess? I got nothing. That was Brett Butler. Yeah, I would not have gotten that. One minute to go on the round, ladies and gentlemen. We can get to maybe two, three more questions.

AJ does have the next choice from among technicalities, a cup of Joe or a sinker. Let's go sinker. A sinker. These are about sinker ball pitchers. After his big league career ended in 2015, he pitched for Israel in the 2017. World Baseball Classic, AJ? Why did I?

Shoot, no. No, okay. He pitched for Israel for the 2017 World Baseball Classic, named this 2019, pardon me, 2009 National League All-Star. Sean. Oh, God. Is it Brandon Webb? It is not Brandon Webb.

Bryce, do you have a guess? Ended his career in 2015, pitched for Israel in the 2017 World Baseball Classic. Oh. The only person I know of the 2017 World Baseball Classic who played for Israel was Ryan Braun,

but he is not a sinker baller. No, he's not, but Jason Marquis is. Jason Marquis is. AJ, you have the final selection it looks like as we wind down in round two. It's a hundred point question. Otherwise, I think I might

lose. The game's locked up, Let's do, but games locked up. Let's do one more for fun. Sinker. Okay. All right. Once the owner of the richest contract in baseball, he won a World Series in 1997 with the Marlins and appeared in the fall classic as a Padre the following year. Name this six-time All-Star.

AJ. Kevin Brown? It is Kevin Brown. Yes, that's correct. Wow. And time is up in round two. AJ has won the game. Our last minute replacement came in, swooped in,

and took victory away from the gentleman with 85 points. Sean with 30, Bryce with 15. Good game, ladies and gentlemen. Very good. Look, I'm just happy I got two. I thought I was going to sit there at the end with five. I'm like, I got to make this at least semi-respectable. Considering how some of the other games have gone,

you guys have done well, trust me. Started off hot, lost near the end. Got two overzeals with the spelling. That's the story of the. this loss. Oh, that's right. You fooled yourself on a spelling, and I just... That is all right.

As our winner, AJ, you may plug your show and any of your social media handles first, and we'll give the gentleman a chance to do that later, but the glory is yours and go for it. Sure. You can find me on Lockdown Blige's on the Lockdown Podcast Network, undefeated at this point in the season. And you can find me on Twitter at A underscore J underscore Andrews. The underscores are in there because Twitter is dumb.

AJ, thanks again for stepping in at the last minute. Congratulations on the victory. 85 points is actually a pretty good score in this game, despite what Sully has proven at 275. That's the record, but nobody's ever going to touch that. Oh, man. Sully scored 275 when he was. here. This is how I envision

the game going, actually. I think this is a perfect example of how this game should go. You see, Alan Travers, you let up that many points. Sean was in second place. So, um, plug away, Sean. Yeah, uh, I'd like to plug all of you. First of all, your shows are great. Go listen to Lockdown MLB shows across

the board. Also, I'm another host of Lockdown Raptors. If you're into that, the Raptors played their first preseason game last night. So we got super jazzed about that on the latest episode. Very good. Thank you again. Sean, I really appreciate you being here. Bryce Padderick, Locked on Rangers. I just plugged your show by accident. I apologize for that. But anything else you want to talk about? It plug Locked on Rangers again. What the hell?

Yeah, go listen to Locked on Rangers, the undefeated Texas Rangers at this moment. Hopefully they are undefeated as this show is posted. But yeah, follow me on Twitter. Just at Bryce Patrick, Bryce with an eye, Paderick with no C. And listen to all these people's shows. They've got great shows all across the Locked On podcast network. Thank you very much. Controlling the board today, as it were, and kind of keeping time for the game is

Locked on Anaheim Ducks host and duck hunting enthusiast Jason Hernandez. Jason, do you want to plug anything while you're here? I'll let's see. I'll plug Locked on Anaheim Ducks, which is at L.O. underscore Ducks or follow me at Stimpy JD, where I talk about

Nickelodeon shows. I'm kidding. I talk all sports. I talk baseball, hockey, basketball sometimes because I'm a Searle guy and the Lakers are probably going to blow it somehow. Because that's par for the course. To the magic. The defending champion Toronto Raptors, I might add. Hey, they're not going to get there. They're not going to get there.

I know. I'm still scared of the Bucks. But I'm allowed to have different opinions. On this podcast, the Bucks are cowards and frauds and are going to lose. And hey, you know, I'm home to the podcast. That's across the street from the first ever team to give up a walk-off grand slam in this weird baseball parallel universe that is 2020. Runner on second base.

Hey, he's got only fans. Oh, my gosh. There he is. Oh, goody. Anyways, next time on Locked on Mariners, ladies and gentlemen, which will be Monday morning, I will be joined by guest panelists, Balki Bartokamus,

grimace, and a belt sander. You will not want to miss that conversation, ladies and gentlemen. It will be delightful. So please remember to download, rate, and subscribe to this program on Google Podcast, Apple Podcast, Spotify, Stitcher Radio,

Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, I hope you have a wonderful weekend. And I'm throwing to nothing, apparently. Okay, bye, guys. This is Joey Martin, speaking for Diamond Quiz, presented by Locked-on Mariners, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network. We're talking.

We're going to schedule a one-on-one call with you next week. We're going to go over things.
