browser open thing, right? We're just shooting from the hip. Yeah, I would not use cheating. I would not search the answers. I don't really think you, I don't really think you can. I think, aren't they kind of like opinionated? Yeah, you can. They're like opinion-based.

Yeah, I mean, unless you were to hack my computer, which maybe on the hotel Wi-Fi. Who's the swaggiest baseball player? I don't trust you, Jim. Good. Good. Well, here, I'll hit you guys of your first question. And that'll kind of clarify.

So, we got to intro this the right way. Oh, I'm sorry, guys. Hold on, hold on, right here. You ready? Welcome to Talkin Baseball's Family Feud. I am your host, Lorenzo. We've got a good one for you today, folks. All the way from the Shire is the Plouf family.

And here from his mother's basement, we've got the Storelli family. Everyone here is trying to be named the Ultimate Ball Knower Numero Uno. And someone might drive out of here. a brand new car. Probably not. So let's get it started. Here's our first question. Name a current MLB player who could be a Hall of Famer. Oh. Trev, you go first. Screw it. Oh, wow. I didn't know if you were going to spin a wheel or not. We do have a wheel. But it's all right. We've already started. And we got show hands first. And I said show Hey, Otani. Yes. Trev has got show Hey, Otoni, who is our number free answer. I thought he was going to be

the guaranteed number one, but he's our third answer. So you get free points, Trev. Okay. I mean, let's it's got to be the two big guys, right? And I'm wondering if our New York influence I forgot where these questions were asked. Gosh, darn it. Give me Aaron Judge.

Actually, Aaron Judge is our number four answer. Behind show Hey O Tani. He only received 128 votes. Interesting. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay, okay, okay. I will say, I understand the direction. You both point with Otani and Judge,

but the number one and number two answer are legends of the game. Right. Name a player who can become a Hall of Famer this year? No. No, name a current MOB player who will become a Hall of Famer. Who's had like a Hall of Fame career, but they're still active. I'm going to go with Justin Verlander. Justin Verlander is our number six answer.

Might be snubbed from the top five, but he's our number six answer. So Trev, that's going to be your first X, three X's and you can no longer guess fours the round. Jake, back to you. Wow. Current player who's Clayton Kirchaw. See, that's where I saw you guys were going to start us off. That is our number two answer. Clayton Kershaw.

Yeah, he's a guaranteed Hall of Fame. If he retires now. He's in. There's nothing he can do in his career that's going to change that. Okay. I mean, I am perplexed a little shook. Yeah, I like that. A little shook.

So he's number two. That's Clayton Kershaw. Yeah, so the number one answer is still on the board. Legends of the game. I thought I named a few of them already. Okay. Deep thought. Verlander was a good guess.

That's similar to Kershaw. Yeah, that's where I kind of want to go again here, but now I'm just rethinking my entire answer here. Mookie Betts. Mookie Betts is our number seven answers. So you have the six. and seven. Unfortunately, both of those are worth zero points.

Two X's for you, Trev. Back to you, Jake. And a real chance to secure an early lead here. God. Current Hall of Fame. Freddie Freeman? Freddie Freeman is our number five answer. He snuck in there.

So that's a good point for you right there. I didn't know. I thought he was going to be the guy you didn't get. Okay. I thought number one would be. Don't need that energy. No, I didn't think you guys were going to get Fred. Who are we missing, Treff?

I'm not going to say Kenley Janssen, Zoe. I'm not going to do it. I mean, he is a Hall of Famer, so you could. I'm not going to say Craig Kimbril either, because he pitched a game for the, what, for the Braves this year? Did he? One game, DFA. That's tough.

So we're not going to closers. That's how you know he loves the game. The only guy that I'm thinking of that, and has he even pitched this year? He's still in the league. His old crazy eyes, Max Scherzer. Max Scherzer is not on our board. So Trev, you are eliminated.

Jake, you have no strikes. So you have a chance to get this number one answer three times. Also, quick, funny story. My mom texted me a couple weeks ago. She works for the Worcester Red Sox. And she said, Max Scher versus Tanner Halk today. Have a good one. That's awesome.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Mama Zoe. All right, Jake, your chance to get the number one answer here. You have four free answers already on the boards this round. Dude, we're clearly blanking on someone. Oh, no. Did you just get it? Okay.

Okay, I just need that realization. It's not Yandi Diaz. Close, close. James Wood is young. God, where are we going? Like, it's not, I want to say, like, Mani, but that's, that wouldn't be the number one answer. I'll throw it out just to buy myself more time, and I know it's wrong.

I'll throw out Manny Machado. That is incorrect, Jake. That's your first strike. We still have two more to go. Having a lot of guesses in a row. A countdown or something for this guy? Okay. Shot clock.

I just shot clocked myself, pal. Pitchcock, actually, baseball podcast. Yes, thank you. I got you. NBA draft tonight. Don't get me in zo going. I will say having a bunch of guesses in a row in this game kind of stinks, because you have no time to actually think of what you're going to guess.

So three guesses in a row. It's like, all right, Jake, go. Juan Soto. That is incorrect. You were down to your last guess and a chance for the five points to go unclaimed. Who's in old? I need the old. I need the old.

Can I answer when he gets this wrong? Inevitably, let me answer. I got you. I didn't need that inevitably. It's a little over the top. Are there any players in the Central? Who are my old? Who are my central olds?

Ah, God. Is there anybody on that team? I don't know. I'm blanking, man. I'll just do this for Zoe. Rafael Devers. That is incorrect. Trev, I'll allow you to guess.

No points. You know what? Now I'm actually thinking there's two guys that we totally zude here that we didn't get. And it is New York, so is it going to be one? So the number one answer.

But I'm going to go Bryce Harper number one. That's who I initially came to my mind. Bryce Harper. is our number eight answers. The number one answer is three-time MVP, 11-time All-Star, and rookie of the year, Mike Trout. Wow.

Known as one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He was by far our number one answer. Okay. I was trying to game the system a little bit, thinking of where we were asking these questions. I'm happy for the East Coasters for putting our guy Mike Trout there. Yeah, I think Trout's, I mean, I could see wanting Kershaw and Verlander. Rutherlander maybe over Freddy, but Trout definitely belongs on this list.

So he's our number one answer. Those five points not going to Jake is huge that round. Oh my gosh. Jeez, that's not a great look for us. That's bad. That's awful. Hey, that's the hard part of this game is sometimes you just... Right, when it's on the spot.

When you're on the spot, you just miss names. I really thought Verlander was going to sneak into our time. Because he's not old. Mike Trout isn't an old yet. He's just... He's just been missing for like four and a half years. What is he? 34?

I was actually just opened up his baseball. I would guess 34. 34 years old, but he turns 34 this year. So roughly, in August, he's turned 34. Okay. That's okay. We're just getting warmed up. So after the first round, Jake, you have seven points.

And Trev, you have free points. So Jake, not getting that number one answer is massive. That was big for me. That is big. Okay. Okay. You ready for our second question? I am.

Our second question is brought to you by Seat Geek. Make sure you guys go out and check out Seek Week. Seek Week. Guys, basketball's done. Hockey's done. It's baseball season. That means it's time to get in the action with Seat Geek. The next sport's going to be football.

Schedules are out. Go check it. But go to a baseball game. Summers here. And the number one rated ticketing app is also here with Seatgeek. 70,000 events listed on Seat Geek. Go to a concert, too. I'm itching for a concert.

It's been a minute. Each ticket is rated on a scale of 1 to 10. One, not so good. 10, good. And green means good. So if you like numbers or colors, we kind of figured out for you. Use code talking 2025,

get 10% off your next set of tickets at C-Kek, 10% off any tickets with promo code talking 2025. All right, so. Okay, I got you. Well, after that round, we're going to go to our next question. Name a player who's been the most fun to watch in 2020. Most fun to watch.

I'll give Jake the floor here. Oh, wow, very kind of you. Gentlemen. I mean, that's how it should work. And we've got to remember on, you're polling your guy's audience. Right. Try to tap into what they're sinking here.

Most fun to watch. I mean, I'm going to cop out. I'll go, I'm going judge again. Aaron Judge is our number six answer. Wow. Didn't it make the top five? Maybe a little fatigue there. You know, he's been,

he's been doing it for a while now. I guess we don't have a New York audience anymore. We're goddamn global. Judge, not making the top five. Well, congratulations on being global. Here we go, Max Kepler. Jake, that's going to be your first ex-Trev, your turn. Damn.

I mean, let's just really test our audience right here. I'm going to go with the big dumper, Cal Raleigh. Is right behind Aaron Judge at number seven. By the way, I was blown away by his stats when I was tuned into a Mariners game last night. What a dog. We just named the two best players in the league right now. Yeah, that was crazy. And they're at six and seven.

I guess that doesn't always equate for fun. Yeah, we got to reset. I feel like Riley should have been on here. But that is an extra. Both of you, back to you, Jake. Most fun to watch this year. This isn't a hit. I will say.

I don't watch as much baseball as you guys do. The number one answer blew me away. I was shocked. I was number one. Most fun to watch play. That's such a unique... Oh, gosh. This is a tough one.

I got one deep in the bag. Yeah, I'm in my bag right now a little bit. I don't want to guess Dylan Dingler, but... I'll throw Skeen's out there? Paul Skeens is a good guess. He's our number five answers, so that's a huge point for you, Jake. Just to avoid a second X there is big. Right back to you, Tref.

Skeins, he beat out judge, so that's kind of the bar. Let's go. young and I'll go on Bobby Witt Jr. Right above Paul Skeen. That's the number four answer is Bobby Witt Jr. You guys are back. That's two in a row. Right back to you, Jake.

Most fun to watch. I'll be lame, Shohei. Shohei Otani is our number two answer. There's nothing lame about picking a guy who pitches and hits. Okay, that's the number two answer back to you, Trev. The number one answer is on the board. and hit one beat out Shohei Otani by 100 votes. Shohay is just a great answer for every single.

Yeah, you can always guess so. I'm going to keep my bag, bag, one in, and I'm going to go with a guy who I think might be the most fun player to watch the game. Ellie Daly Cruz. Ellie Daly Cruz is our number free answer. Great guess there, Trev. That is, that's huge.

You're keeping it tight between Jake. I think I know the number one. If you pull that off, I will be very impressed. I keep wanting to throw gag guesses out there. Well, you only got one, actually. You got a room for a little fun. Carlos Santana. Emilio Pagan.

Let's go. I'll throw Fernando out there. Everyone loves Fernando, right? I do not have Tatis on our list. That's going to be... No, he's out. I think there might be too much, like, people who dislike him for him to make this list.

So I'm taking a shot from the logo right here, baby. I'm going with Kike Hernandez, number one. That's that classic NBA meme where it's like Valentine. No, no, because that's just not even close. That's incorrect. No. You haven't like wearing the helmet pitching. I'm just, I'm trying to think along with the people here, okay?

I mean, you said it's a shot from the logo. And I respect it, but unfortunately, I have to give you an exit. Trev's trying to get in the brain of all the normies. Key Kiyos. Most fun to watch. Who did you guess last time? What was your last guess? Tatis.

Oh, wow. So you both have two X's. Yeah. Okay. So Jake, you. If we go over on the number one answer. I was going to say, this is a lot harder of a number one answer than last round, but this could be two consecutive rounds. But, Trev, if you get the number one answer, you're going to take the lead here.

Most fun to watch. Fun is a good baseball trait. We like homers. We like steals. We like defense. Oh. Trev keeps saying he's in his bag and that throws me off. Oh.

No. I'm going from the logo too. Okay. Bad shot selection early. I know who you're going to say. Do it. I think it's right. Is the number one answer, Javi bias? No, that is incorrect.

Gosh, that is not who I thought. Both your logo shots have thrown me for a loop. All right, Jake, you're out this round, Trev. If you can get in your bag and get this answer right, you're going to leave this round with the lead. my heart this is not my answer my heart wants to say Denzel Clark

and that's who I thought you were going to go with Denzel Clark called up we are in our bags maybe after the poll was posted he's been really fun to watch

that's a true ball knower right there I'm going James Wood James that's a good guess actually unfortunately that's incorrect but I really like that guess maybe you guys can explain

to me why this is the number one answer the number one answer is Pete Crow Armstrong Wow okay he's our number one answer that's a good answer It's a good answer. I respect our audience for that.

He has been incredible to watch. Wow. Okay, so he's, wow. I didn't know what the reaction was going to be here. We named Aaron Judge and then Cal Rolley. Those are clearly the two best players right now in the game, statistically.

But PCA is like right there. And dude, here I am babbling about, okay, we like stolen bases, we like homers, we like defense. That's Pete Crow Armstrong.

Wow. And he's our guy. God damn it. Nietz. So that's two rounds in a row with the number one answer was in got. And by the way, shout out to the audience. That category was awesome there.

Jake, you have a good list right there. That is a good list. Jake, you have a lead of 12 to 8. So, Trev, you're not too far behind here after the second round. One of us could get a number one answer. That's true. There's been 10 points left on the board. So that was good swing.

Maybe you guys can get a number one answer on this one. This was a very unique question. Name a baseball tradition. Fans love. So it's a lot, very subjective on this one. You're a big boy. You just got to lead all the time because you're ahead? We've each started one round.

It's been an alternating situation. Is that how we're going to do it? Yeah, I believe so. Don't give me that look. I don't like that. I have a question that I think is fair. Are these team specific or generic? Ooh, that is a good question.

You know what I mean? No, I agree. It can go both ways, but I would say, say mostly generic. Okay. Name a category again, please. It's name a baseball tradition fans love.

And to provide like, because this is kind of a very vague question, to provide a little context, most these usually are like at the game. Yeah, I'm going to go with the seventh inning stretch. That is our number one answer. The first number one answer secured goes to Trev. Wow, you pulled that really quickly.

Nice job. All right, Jake. to you now. Seven-in-th inning stretches. Yeah, that's awesome. No, it is awesome. That's where baseball wins. It's one of those things where you're like, yeah, I'm happy.

No other sport can touch that. Like, is it the halfway point? No. I will say, it was the number one answer. It wasn't even close. It's like 600 votes ahead. A baseball tradition fans love. God, that was the only one that was kind of

tip of my tongue. How about a first pitch? That is our number. number four answer. The first pitch is our number four answer. I mean, I'm very familiar with first pitches at this point in my life. So yeah, it's kind of awesome. I got you guys set up a target field just so you know. I'm there, man. This one's polarizing with many fans. I'm going to go to wave. That is our number two answer. It's polarizing because a lot of people love it and a lot of people hate it. So that's a great poll there, too. I'm tapped in at ballpark experiences. I'm

in it. I am one of the ballpark. You're a man of the person. Trev, you and your last two guesses, you've passed your total points from the other two rounds. You are now leading 17 to 14. Great job. Jake, back to you. Baseball traditions that fans love.

First pitch, seventh inning stretch, the wave. To give you guys credit, you guys are free for free right now. Which is, I did not expect that. I needed a pat on the back. I'm running out of traditions. Families.

How about? Um, this can't be right because I don't even know how to phrase it, but like, closer entrance music. Uh, that is incorrect, but I get where you were going there. That's your, don't compliment me when I'm wrong. I mean, I like to be yelled at. Do you want me to give you the, like, the Steve Harvey, like, look of disgusted to the distance? Oh, my God. He's like, oh, I can't believe you said that.

I'm kind of running out here. I got a few on my mind, like Jumbotron. stuff. Maybe I'll stick there. What about play ball? You mean just like when they say play ball? That is incorrect. I like it though.

No, I didn't hate that. I was just trying to clarify there. I mean, if you guys are close, I'm a lenient host. Okay. I'll give it to you. Baseball traditions. I'm going to the ballpark and I'm going to. Um, I have how many strikes? Do I have one

You both have one strike. You can also think a little broader than just like a specific game. You can just think of like being a baseball fan in general, like what are traditions. Okay. This is Yankees and it's wrong. What about like the roll call? That is incorrect. Yeah.

I know. It's okay. I know it one, I guess. I'm not against the roll call. I actually dig the roll call. It's nice. It's nice. I think it's pretty cool too.

Broader than in-game experiences. What is? Can I say it? Oh, man. You can say anything you want. I will not stop you. Can I ask for like a hint? I can't do that.

If you get this wrong. I was going to say like is there food on this list? I will say there is no food. Okay. You were thinking it too, Jake. You always are. If you get this wrong, Travis, you both have two X's. So I will give you guys a hint.

Okay. Baseball tradition that fans love. I'm really, I'm struggling. Yeah. Kiss Cam. That is incorrect. So this baseball tradition is more of a, like, kind of like a national holiday, kind of a feeling. And the other one, we're all wearing.

So if you can figure that out. Oh, my. You've sent us both spinning. I got, I got one. I got one. I just dropped two great hints. I got one. Baseball tradition that fans love.

Um, is it like a tip of the cap? Is that your guess? I think so. That is incorrect. Yeah. Because that's not a tradition. All right, Trev.

Clean it up. Clean up the board. He's got one, he says. So this is huge, Tren. Have you ever heard of a young ball player named Jackie Robinson? Wearing number 42 on Jackie Robinson day.

That is an awesome guess. That is incorrect, but that is great. I didn't even think about that. That should be on this list because that's awesome. The day I was trying to get you guys to go for is opening day is here as a baseball tradition which i i do agree like having experiencing opening day is a very good fit like a tradition of a fan and then number five is rally caps oh wow okay

my hints were awesome guys treb after that yeah number five was rally caps so after that round treb you took the lead 17th to 14th so getting the number one answer proved quite quite enriching for you Oh, and let me guess Trev's going to go first again? Actually, Jake, you get to go first. What's that for? Don't worry about that. Don't even worry, man. Don't worry about that.

Now, Trev, you have the lead, but Jake, you're going to get a chance to go first here. And we're going to dig into our baseball ball knowledge. You're going to talk to the teens. Maybe you guys don't always get a chance to talk about. Name a team that's a dark horse to make the playoffs this season. Wow. So enough of your Yankees, talk. Give me some. So that's just the generic.

I would call the Yankees a dark horse to make the playoffs right now. Oh, wow. That's a little toxic. I love that. But I respect it. Please continue down that route. Let's not talk about my Red Sox. A dark horse to make the... All of our teams think right now. Red Sox are so bad. Yanks are a tough watch.

They're a tough watch. Hey, I can't shake this team. It's probably... They have to be in the vote. I'll go with the Texas Rangers. They are not in the vote. That is incorrect. Just a miss.

aren't they really bad yeah but the whole a L is kind of okay well that's fair that's fair actually dark horse to make the playoffs I have to think along the lines of our audience here and I'm gonna go with

the team that's just gonna do itself Ray's gonna Ray Tampa Bay race our number two answer Trap Tampa Bay Rays nice okay okay that's yeah get on board Jake

yeah is taking all the momentum. Well, that's what I kind of needed that because... Oh, it kind of gave you a direction. The rays as of today are in the playoffs. So this hasn't skewed our fans from teams not in the playoffs. So that's kind of what I needed. Oh, I see.

A dark horse to make the playoffs. Screen says hoes, kind of like it. Dark horse to make the playoffs. I am going... How about America's team? This is such a bad guess. The Seattle. Mariners. That is not a bad guess.

There's a number six answer and they barely missed qualifying in the top five. So that is not a bad guess. They're also in the playoffs as of today. These teams can be in the playoffs or not in the playoffs. There was no like, there's no rule on that. But Trev, you have a chance to really start pulling away here. Another Dark Horse team to make the playoffs.

I have the number one. I mean, my ball knowing, brain has the best answer, and it's the Atlanta Braves. I don't know if people have enough faith in them to be on this list, but I'll go Atlanta Braves. Right behind the Seattle Marin is at number seven. That is incorrect. Huge for you, Jake.

You have two Xs. You need to get some points this round. Dark horse to make the playoffs. I'm between a couple right now. That's where you live, baby. I know. I need to go NL, I think. Let's go.

I mean, are people no ball, right? The Milwaukee Brewers. That is incorrect. Jake, you get skunked that round. No points. Now, Trev, you have two X's remaining and four answers are still eligible this round. So you can really stack it up some points.

I know, this is a tough one, though. This is a tough question. If the other team I was going to guess is number one, I might jump. There is a team that I'm just going to do this just because I think it might be a dagger to your freaking heart, which I dream about all the time. I'm going to go to Cincinnati Reds. Talk about a dagger. The number one answer is the Cincinnati Reds. They pull it out and for back to back rounds, Trev.

You not only get the number two answer, you get the number one answer. Oh my gosh. You're thinking about that. Jake. That's your team, bro. You can't quit them. That horse. That horse, I don't know. I'm going to stick in the National League here and just really try to hammer it down.

I'm going to go to the Arizona Diamondbacks. That is going to be incorrect. So you have one guess remaining. There were still free good answers on the board. That was the one that I thought was going to be. Well, that's good then. You don't have to jump. So I'm just a complete failure.

Okay. I got one more guess here. The Reds? The Reds is crazy. The Reds isn't crazy because they listen to our show. You freaking pump them up all the time, bro. I know. These are your fans, Jake.

I'm going to go quick here because, you know, I'm already in a commanding lead. I'm going to go the St. Louis Cardinals. That's our number four answer. Continuing to add up points. Nice job, Trev. And then. I'm going to go the Cleveland Guardians.

That is incorrect, but still a great round for you, Trev. You're able to take three of the five answers correct. The two that you guys missed are the Toronto Blue Jays. I don't know. I'm a number three answer. And then our number five answer teams that's been working both our teams, Jake. The Los Angeles Angels are our number five answer. I was there.

I'm moving on. You're letting this one go. Because to have the raise it to, and they've been the best team in baseball for like over a month. And then to put the halos on the board. I just don't know. Well, Trev, you got 11 points that round to Jake's zero. So you are up doubling Jake's score at this point.

28 to 14, but we still have two questions remaining. So the game is not over. It's time to lock in. And Trev, I do believe you have the number one answer or a number of first guess. Oh, I do. This time. Could go nuclear here. And this is a classic question.

I think we've asked this before, but it's always fun to check in just to see the state of baseball on it. Which team has the best uniforms going? Oh, gosh. I've asked this question to an audience so many times, and I've never gotten the same board. Yeah, it's so difficult. I was looking at the Mariners hats last night.

They're like the Navy with the teal cap. Those are absolutely classic. I love the Mariners uniforms. I'm a big fan of what's going on. there. Best uniforms in baseball. You know, a GQ article came out about this. I'm being serious. I remember reading it, and they had the Cardinals at number one. I'm not going there. I was going to say, are you using GQ as a source? How often you're reading GQ, huh, pal? Good question. More so my younger years when I was easily influenced. I've never read GQ in my life. I didn't really know what I'm still going on.

Man, because now I'm thinking, you know what? This is like the kids love this. I'm going to go to San Diego Padres. Trev, you are an absolute heater. All number one answers have gone to Trevor Pluth. That is our number one answer. You're cooking. He knows the youth right now.

33 points for Trev. Wow. God, I'm getting dusted. You still have a chance to get some points here, Jake. So you got to lock in. I don't know. So I try to read three. Try to read through your poker face sometimes.

I'm going to play through it. Give me the Seattle Mariners. That is incorrect. They are on our board at the number eight answer, but not top five. That's crazy. Just out of touch. It's all right, man.

Trev, how are you going to be here? Give me the Chicago Cubs. Chicago Cubs are our number six answer. Just missed our top five. Jake, that's big. You needed that. Maybe. Okay.

Unis. Padres are cool. I do like the cup duties. Are people thinking city connects? I should not be pulling up from the logo right now. Give me the Chicago White Sox. No, that is incorrect. Jake, I will say you are very off track right now. Horribly, Zoe.

Thank you. I went logo. That was a... That's not where we're looking for here. Jack Doyle come through me. Yeah, that was horrible. Trev, back to you. Two guests.

I'm going to go Cardinals. I'm going to have trust GQ. Very solid guess, number free answer. I think they're known for having one of the most consistently good uniforms in baseball. Son of a bitch. Also, that bird logo, never get old. Two birds. People forget that.

It's awesome. Which team has the best uniform. I don't mean to put pressure on you. We've got the Padres are new age-ish. We got the Cardinals are traditional-ish. Give me the Dodgers. The Dodgers are our number four answer. You've been taking logo shots.

There, you just hit a layup. And you needed that. You needed that because you were 0 for your last five. So that was a huge one. That was... I think Dodgers and Cardinals fall under the same category. Just classic, traditional, really good baseball uniforms. I mean, the Dodgers whites...

Your Dodgers whites are incredible. I'm going to go... I don't agree with this, but I feel like they're classic. I'm going to stay classic. I'm going to go to the New York Yankees. The Yankees are... incorrect. They didn't make our top eight. Wow. Wow. Okay, so two X's for both of you. Back to you, Jake.

I need to really chef right now. We still have two good answers remaining on the board. The number two answer and the number five answer. So these five points could be huge for you. This is, I think they've been a little polarizing. I feel like polarizing is played. Zo, are your Boston Red Sox on here? My Boston Red Sox are not on here, Jake. That is incorrect. I love the new city connects. Yeah, those are fantastic. Like maybe one of my favorite jerseys I've seen.

So much better than their first city connects. I'll go fuck myself. One guest left. I'm going through the divisions. I'm going to take a shot here because I actually really, really enjoys. I don't think this is the correct answer. Twins. Shout out right there.

I like that. I'm going to go to Arizona Diamondbacks. I mean, all their combinations. Keep taking no shots, man. That's our number two answer. Four more points for Trevor Plu. You really do.

That GQ article did you good, huh? I'm in. I'm in the game, Jake. Not enough of GQ and Jake. I'm not hip. I got to start reading GQ. Well, Treve, you have a chance to finish a board here. Clean it.

Clean it. You're out? I'm out. He's done. All right. The White Sox shot her around the world. White Sox are not the answer, bro. Never the answer.

That's a really funny. White Sox and Red Sox. What am I going to go? I'm going to go. Well, that's our number five answer. Strav, what a round. You just pulled out four of the five. Prime curry.

Yeah, I mean, you're not missing right now. That's crazy. It's crazy. Just pull over the fish. Look how happy he is. I like the place. You want to know a position player right now? Look how happy he is right now.

Are there any of these uniforms that you guys disagree with? Dalton. Do you guys, do you think any of these uniforms didn't deserve to be in the top five? Padres, Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Cardinals, Phillies. I think the Diamondbacks, if I had to go those five, I think Diamondbacks would probably be last for me. They were my most shocking one to see here as well. Especially at number two.

I think Phillies and Padres are my number one, too, because they have traditional uniforms and I think, you know, like the powder blue Phillies is amazing. I even like their city connects. I think that's what made Padres number one was their city connect. I agree. I would have. The old city connect.

I really like. I don't think they were the pink San Diego ones anymore. I really like the Cubs unies, so I would have liked to see them in the top five. But that's just me. The new Cubs unies or the traditional ones? The traditional ones. I'm kind of a traditional baseball jersey guy. Wow, Trev, after five questions, you are leading in a, I mean, turn off the game.

What happened? To 16. 41 to 16, I'm sorry. You know, I punt on Mike Trout just to be nice to you. And then, God, damn it. Well, we still have one more. question. We've talked about dark horses. We've talked about uniforms, but I mean, we play 162 baseball games for one reason. That's to win a World Series. So tell me which team

will win the World Series this year. God. And I believe Jake, I think you have done a born answer. Even if you don't, I'm going to give it to you. He does. He does. If it's not the Dodgers, get Dullin from outside. You going Dodgers? Yes. That is our number one answer. The Dodgers are favored to repeat according to our fans. The champ is here. I mean, yeah, that's got to be the number one answer there. Nice job, Jake. You needed that.

I'm going to go with the team with the best record in baseball, the Detroit Tigers. That is our number two answer. Oh, the Detroit kitties, huh? Now this is where it starts to get interesting to me. Because I feel like those two answers were pretty chalk. You know, best team's kind of going right now. So now I'm interested to see where your guys' mind goes. Give me.

Give me the Phillies. Phillies are our number six. Insane. You're putting a lot of number sixes up today, unfortunately. That is going to be incorrect. It's insane. Back to you, Trev. All right, all right.

I feel like the Phillies are always like, they kind of got to get it done. I'm going the Yankees. That's our number five answer. Jake, put your bias aside. And it could have gotten you a point there. I think so I'm just being honest

I'm just being honest I can't if I'll have some fun Okay you know what Maybe Maybe our friends in Chicago Have cooked this with PCA Give me the Cubs Great guess Jake

That is our number free answer on the board Okay I like when the cubs are good I'm Okay Wow you guys have four of the five answers Only one more correct answer All knowers.

These are about ball. This is true. Dare I guess my Minnesota twins, one in nine the last 10. They're working on things. They're trying. Rocco. Wow.

Chicago Cubs, Tigers, Dodgers. The other division leader would be the Astros. And then the, well, yes, the Phillies already. I'm going to go with the Astros. That is incorrect. Correct. So Trev, that is going to be an X for you. Back to you, Jake. You both have two strikes remaining to get this one last. I think we agree. Whoever gets this win, give me the San Diego Padres. That is incorrect. They're a number eight.

That's our number eight answer. Back to you, Trev. This is, um... We guessed all the division leaders already. I believe you have. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Number four answers. who's going to win the freaking world. So there's the whole thing. The New York Mets.

Is our number four answer. And Trev, you finished just how you started in a commanding way. You are our winner. You doubled up Jake's score exactly 48 to 24. Congratulations. You are the winner of our grand prize. Rob, do you have our prize for Trevor Plouffe? I do indeed.

Well, Trevor, you've just won a personalized video from Mr. Jack Doyle. My dear friend. Congratulations to you. One of the most handsome and one of the closest people to me in my life, a dad here. Are you the congratulations to the win? This isn't going good. To the win of this family feud, wow.

What a great performance by you. Congratulations on being the winner. Did he say Trevor's name at all? Was that the same video either way? Yes, same video. Okay. I mean, we're not getting two videos on a Jack. It wasn't even looking at the camera.

Can you just bring up that initial freeze frame of Jack? That's a guy who's just soccer reviews right there. Well, that was awesome. Thank you guys for playing. Thanks for all the fans who submitted your guys' answers. It was awesome and great questions all around. So well done. Thank you, Zoe.

I love these episodes. How are you feeling about your Red Sox? I mean, you want me to start crying on the show? Or is this like a difference? Just a little bit. I mean, it's tough to care about a team that doesn't care about winning. And that's kind of them right now. That's kind of how it feels like.

I mean, we trade our best player. You know, there's GM manager troubles every single year. We call out. We get ejected during big games and don't actually care. Like, I don't, it's frustrating to watch them. Crochet's awesome, though. So thanks for getting him. That's good.

Trev, congratulations. And a little bonus, I'm going to send Trev on a trip. And he's going to stay at a Best Western. Today's episode is sponsored by Best Western hotels and resorts. If you haven't seen Zoe and Jack Doyle, they were in the mix with Best Western, throwing out first pitches. Be there tomorrow. The Best Western.

Really? Tomorrow night. Well, that's because there's 4,000 Best Western hotels worldwide. So if you're hitting the road traveling for work or chasing the next big game, Best Western has a spot for you. I stayed at the one outside Riggly this year. Where are you going tomorrow? We're going to D.C. for a Savannah Bananas game.

Trevor, congratulations. God, I'm a little broken. I needed that, guys. I've been sitting back here for five games now. Yeah. Watching my twins just get absolutely. shillacked. So I need to that victory.

It's a good way. Wait, are they 0.5 with you in the booth? Yes. Trev. I got two more games, too. It ends now. It ends now. I think they've given up in those five games if I had to guess.

Oh, God. I mean, like, close to 60 runs. I don't think that's an exaggeration. I can go back and look at the numbers right now, but it's like 60 runs. What do you do when it starts to get to a blowout. Do you start doing the classic like you just start talking about random stuff? You just doing a podcast now?

We've had we've had three blowouts where like they weren't even close and then two where they made a comeback which was nice. But yeah, you just start trying to entertain people any way you can. I mean, there's nothing you can really talk about. We've had a position players pitch and it's just like, man, you know how I feel about it. Yeah, it's you find a way. I respect to entertain the masses. Trev bought a fan of beer the other day because he caught a home run ball.

Awesome clip by the way. That was awesome. That what a catch by that guy. Nice now. Incredible catch. Yeah, insane. He was kind of nonchalant about it, too. I was like, that's awesome.

Golly. We're going to have to get all the boys up in Minnesota sometime soon. Target field's on my bucket list. Lorenzo. Thank you, guys. Thank you, Brother Nature. Oh, my God. The Jack Doyle first pitch.

I can't get it out of my head now. No, we talked about it yesterday because we've been doing a couple of minor league first pitches. And something I'm learning is that minor league first pitches, 50 people do the first pitch. It's mind-blowing how many people throw out of first pitch. I'm like, oh, my God. It's always kid, kid, Jack, someone who's so important to the community. Like a figure of the community.

So it's always mind-blood. Jack walks out there. He's talking to like some kids and the oldest person you've ever seen who means so much to everybody. But tomorrow or Friday, Savannah Banana's National... Yo, he has to throw a strike. Sold out. Well, we'll see. That's kind of the whole...

What's the word? Feasus of this video. So we're going to find out. If you guys don't follow Zoe and Jack and we got ice, you need to. They're the best. warehouse games, warehouse challenges, all that fun stuff.

Zoe, maybe we need an end of the year feud. I can't, I can't end on that. Well, that's devastating. I'll come back after the World Series and we'll do a 2025 recap.

Oh, okay. We'll address everything going on. And yeah, we'll call it like Family Feud World Series. This one matters. Yeah, this one,

this isn't spring training. That was a beat down. That was ugly. That was ugly. That was a beat down. Mike Trout. Okay. Okay.

Thanks, Big Z. And because, It's Wednesday. It's time for bet the cycle brought to you by Draft Kings. Use code jam baseball when you sign up with the Draft King's sportsbook. And Trev, kind of like what's going on in Minnesota and New York. We got to shake up the lineup. I'm going to need you to lead off because we put up an O for last week.

Sweet. I'm seeing the third baseman back. A little drag, bunt, base hit for a single right now. I'm going under eight and a half runs in the Phillies Astros, Thursday afternoon, getaway day game. these guys are going to be swinging first pitch. They want to get on that bird to the next city. And Christopher Sanchez, that 8-foot-6 M-Fer with a 287 ERA, is thrown against Hunter Brown with the 1-8-8.

And 30 combined starts this season, Jake. The two pitchers have allowed more than three runs in a game just twice. So expect them to go deep in the game and not give up very many runs. I feel like we're back on base. It feels like a rally's forming. The double, New York, New York, Yanks and Mets to win. This is a little scary for the double, but the Mets are playing the Pirates and the Yankees are playing the A's.

Both of these teams, both New York teams a little cold, but you know what comes after you're cold? You're hot. I hope. I really hope. Otherwise, I'm going to start turned into a sad boy. All right, I'm taking a good turnaround first. See the ball in the gap?

Oh, I'm taking three right here. Sandy Alcantara to record 18 plus. outs, that means get in or past the sixth inning into the seventh with two or less earn runs allowed this weekend versus the D-Bex. He started the year with an 8-4-8-ERA in his first 11 starts. Jake, in four June starts, he's been incredible. He wants out of there. He's gone six plus innings pitch in three of the four starts and has allowed two earned

runs or less in three of the four starts. So look for him to continue his June dominance. Trev for the home run. If you're new to this, like we swing big here. We swing big here. Alejandro Kirk and Bo Bichette to Homer Saturday versus Lucas Gialito.

I hate this because Gialito is a friend. But this is a little bit of heart over height. Kirk, five for 14 with four homers off of Gialito and Bo Bichette, 7 for 17, with one homer off Gialito. So we're swinging big there. Dalton does help us with these, and I do think that triple is a little bit of him

trying to reverse psychology, his debacks. So that one doesn't pass the sniff test, but I like the rest of them. Go check them out on the Draft King Sportsbook. People, we appreciate you. The family feud one is a fun one that I think is going to be an annual tradition. Thank you to Zoe and Rob for sending it up.

Molly, everyone. Thank you, guys. We will be back on Friday. Yucking ball. Oh, Jake's nuts. I'm coming live from a lake house on Friday. I might have seen Cole Tucker last night. He told me, oh, it's not July yet.

It's almost his birthday.
