Hello and welcome to talking baseball. It's time to have some fun. It is the baseball movie draft. Four of us, four topics. Let's do it. Good, vicious categories. Hello and welcome to talking baseball. As you heard and as you saw on the headline, we're doing the movie draft.

There are four categories to this draft. There are the best baseball movie, baseball scene. So you can take. get the movie, but you want one scene. Fictional player and fictional team. The four of us will be drafting. It's a snake draft. We've all written down a random number one through 100.

We're going to find out the draft order right now. Trevor, what number did you write down? He wrote down 45, Jake. Which number did you write down? 69. 69. BPD? I wrote 23.

And I wrote 18. So the random number is 21. 21 Blackjack. I got 18. Wow. Nice. And then BBD is next.

Yes. And then Trev in order. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to choose. 21 was the number? Yes. I had 23. Oh, so you get first pick.

We're going to give BBD the one. Yeah, yeah. Because you were closest to the number. Yes. Do you want first pick? Do you want wrap around? Do you want the second pick? The third pick might be cool.

Yeah, it was. I think I'm leaning. Take the three, the three six. Three six, yeah. Third overall pick. All right. Everybody's taking the third overall pick.

I'll take the first overall pick. Wow. I'll wrap around. So I'll be two. Jake chooses the two-haul. You guys excited for this draft? I'm very excited. Okay, Trave, you seem excited.

I am, but you always coerced BBD into picking where you want him to. pick. It's incredible. I was between two and three. Oh, brain control. Three is the weirdest. The pick right there. I want a tone set for me.

Okay. Let me ask you this, because we're going to get into it, I know, but are we going, we can pick any of the categories during our, you decide your order of our values. Jim,

you have the first pick? Yeah, I'm making one of those charts because I always forget to do that. Well, Jim makes his chart. This draft is brought to you by Draft Kings. NFL playoff action is continuing this weekend as

Okay. Jimmer Fredette?

Yeah, with the first overall pick in the movies, baseball movies draft, I will be taking a movie. I do think it's one of the deeper fields available, but I am such a sucker. Not only does it make my top 10 baseball movies, it makes my top 10 movies. I love this movie. so I will be taking the sandlock. You get younger kids enjoy it, older kids enjoy it, nostalgia factor.

There's not really any like dark cynical, like the biggest complex issue or whatever is just like a dog, you know? There's never a kid dying like other movies or something like tragic. So it's pretty feel good. And I love the same. A kid pretends to die.

Yeah. And the beast is scary, but whatever. Especially when you're watching as a kid. Yeah. So it makes sense for someone like you that didn't reach the show. And like that's the only baseball you know. Yeah. But for me, Trav, BBD.

You let out a big damn when I drafted. What? Yeah. Yeah, no, that's my first pick. That's on that's okay. Yeah, that's my first pick at the draft. It's a great pick. But like you noted movies was the deepest category.

Yeah. There's room for you guys to make up ground in this category. Maybe it's not the most strategic. But I listed by top four movies. So if you guys grab by top three, I was good and there was just a big gap from one and then two, three, and four. And I love the sandlot. I could talk for hours about it.

It's a safe pick. Like you went for the most proven, like player. And number one. He's going to come. Yeah, it's good. No one's going to debate that. All right. Well, Jake, you're up next.

You have a lot of options available to you. Yeah. No, I mean, I think some of the best parts of the sandlot, I don't think you even explained eloquently. So you almost get, don't get those points. I can talk about the sandlot forever. I'm going to go. There's no. there's no big, you know, there's no announcer that announces the final game.

The second act is when they beat the preppy kids. Any other kids movie, that's the third act. Everyone moved on. Yeah. You told me I moved on too quick. I'm taking, no, you didn't explain the best parts. You still didn't. I am taking a fictional team.

Yep. I think this is a team that potentially, I think is the best fictional team. Because we had some debates about this, like real fictional teams and fictional fictional teams. I'm taking the cacumbos from hardball. Okay. Okay. In fantasy football draft,

we call that a reach. I mean, gee, baby. Call that a reach. I love it when you call me big. You don't think you could have got them last pick of the draft as your team? No.

No. I think that was everyone's if I need to win the draft. Were they on any of your boards, Trev? No, the ADP is definitely lower for this. But you know what? It's about you,

Jake. This is what you want. It's my team. Yeah. I mean, sports gambling, kids dying, we're emotional, the headset, like all of that. That's me. I currently have a headset on. Yano also, I mean, you have to mention him.

He's a vampire who's universally loved. That doesn't come around too often. I get compared to him a lot. So I think it's a team that has a Q score rating of 100. They're undefeated. Nobody dislikes the Cucumbas. I don't dislike them. I think every other team that will come up will be disliked.

as I should be. Oh, that's right. You're young. We'll watch a movie later. BPD, you're up? I think I'm going to grab my team. Oh, wow. That category is going to be half a gone, Jake.

I'll grab the Cleveland Indians for Major League because they're a Major League team. Filled with fictional players, so they're valid for this. Major League one or two. Major League one or two. Okay. Or the Salt Lake City Buzz.

That's major league three. Is that the minor league one? Yeah. Yeah. Back to the minors. Another, you know, like no doubt first round pick. You went safe there. But definitely not where I would have went with this.

Soft picks. It's a good team. It's a good team. I actually left them off my board because I was going to, I knew someone else would grab them before me. So I didn't put them on my board. Is your favorite guy on that team, Wild thing? Is it? Don't leak any player options.

We're picking individual players later. It opens up my board for that category. There was a fun team, man. It's a great movie. They, you know, winning in spite of the owner, the galvanization happens. You know, a bunch of losers coming together. No one wanted them.

A good identity. Yeah. So if they're a fun squad to root for, a little older. Yeah. All right. I got two picks now. Yeah. Now, are you going to go.

Yeah. Interested? I'm going to go with player. I'm going to go with player. think you guys might have had this on your radar because he did actually play for your team. And now I'm looking at your reactions. And maybe this is a reach. But when you think about the tools that this guy has, I mean, he was Shohei Otani before

Shohei Otani was a thing. And he had the theatrics. It reminds me of myself in high school ball. Steve Nebraska. I love that pick. I love that pick. He is the Otani. I actually was thinking you weren't going to say Steve Nebraska

and I was going to counter and say Steve Nebraska is more of an Otani than that guy but you did say him. I love that. He was playing ball and living his life and then they brought him to New York and he ended up throwing a perfect game in game one of the World Series

and he struck out after being on the roof, the helicopter entrance like that guy knew how to put on a show. Also just like a good dude, he loves doing laundry. I also love to do laundry. So we just, there's a lot of similarities there. I mean, big couple weeks for Brendan Fraser.

Yeah. I mean, wow. Yeah. It's true. Wow. I like that pick, Trev. I think he might have been available for you, but I may have snaked him. I just figured the Yankees aspect.

There's three of you guys. It's tough. So I went there. This one, the next pick for me, this will be my wrap around pick. It's a scene of a movie. And another one that hits home for me because I have an older brother who I compete against a lot. Now this is one of the most debated scenes in any baseball movie.

It's the Doddy and Kit Henson at the end. Damn, I like your draft right now, Trev. Thank you. Thank you. Because in my mind, I think Doddy dropped the ball on purpose there. And if people remember, she went out to the mound and said, high heaters can't hit him, can't lay off them. Well, Kit finally got one of them high heaters that she did hit, runs around the basis.

Now, Doddy Henson never drops the ball. But she knows she wants to go home. this is her last game and she knows Kit has a future in the league. Kit runs her over because she's always trying to beat Doddy. And then Doddy kind of like just drops the ball so easily at the end. Well, it's, it's the whole thing. I've always thought that. Oh, I think anyone that doesn't think that isn't like understanding that that's what the movie is.

She can't get her own tryout without her older sister. Her older sister had to do everything for it. That is Doddy releasing Kit to the world as like her own woman. You came over that, overcame that last obstacle. You're free now. And then when they have her as an old woman revisiting the Hall of Fame, how do they know that it's her? Well, she doesn't drop the ball because Dottie never drops the ball.

She could be 80 years old and she's going to catch that ball with her bare hand. So I think definitely on purpose she dropped it. And that's a great scene. A scene where a player crushes under pressure and loses the game. Barry Trevor Plufe. BPD, back to you. Back to me. I think I'm going to grab.

a player now. I can, if my board's opened up because if I came away from this, not with the major league team, I would have felt compelled to grab one of their players.

But now I can jump to the sandlot. I'm going to take Benny the Jet Rodriguez for all the talent in the world and really nice kid. Didn't tolerate bullying. Let's give everybody a chance to play. Does he have a good career?

He steals home. Right. He's a pinch runner. Right. He's kind of like, home the jet steals home. It's fun. He's a great.

He's fast. And he was awesome and little. He was a really good. A lot of story. Elian. A really good neighborhood. It's a good story around. He tamed the beast, you know?

He tamed the beast. But was he like, was he like Gore? Like Terrence Gore or was he like? Tim La Cacho. Don't. Tim La Castro. He got some slap it around time. He was better than both.

He was like Ronald Torres. He'd pick him up at the later of his career. But, you know, a quick peek. I mean, you know, he had a long career because he says

he doesn't have the speed he used to. That's true. He stuck around, are there any numbers out there on the internet? Like his career numbers, I'd love to see it.

Ooh, that's a good thing. I bet later on, you know, after he was done playing, his numbers rose because defensive metrics showed up

and all of a sudden this guy was under value. Well, a good nickname is great too. He's finding ways on base. Benny the jet's a good nickname. Penny the Jet's a good name. Yeah.

It's icon. Okay. It's iconic. I, um... Ben Rodriguez was his name, right? Yeah. Ben Rodriguez. Um, I think what I'm going to do is, uh, I'm going to take my player. I don't think this...

Wow. I might have been on Jimmy's board. Um, but at, with the wrap around, I'd rather get my player out of the way because I know Jimmy's already taking his movie and there's tons of scenes. So, um, I'm going to take, you know, a Hall of Fame kind of guy. Uh, I'm taking Stan Ross, uh, for Mississippi. Mr. 3,000? Trev, can I ask you,

how hard is it to have 1,000 hits in the Major League? It's very hard. That's five seasons of 200. It's probably like seven good years. How hard is it to have 2,000 hits? God. Nearly impossible.

Now, 3,000 hits. I mean, that's a hell of a career. Crem de la Crem. So, Stan Ross. I'm a crem de la Cremme kind of guy. I didn't know that was that character's name, but good. He also, you know

He's a bad guy He ends up with 2,999 hits Yeah, he never gets He bunts instead of getting the 3,000s hit But that shows growth as a guy Well, it's not spoil potential scenes Yeah, and that's Yeah, I'll draft that scene

Um Seen draft sounds like I won't But no, it's a story about growth It's a story about growth So what was you took Stan Ross for your player Or this is the movie player. Yeah. You know what I like about Stan Ross is

he was an entrepreneur after the game. Yep. He met the game. He had his hand in a restaurant. At the end, he has an ice cream truck. All the great. He was an entrepreneurial spirit. Yeah. All right. I have back to back now. And you guys have all taken your player so it doesn't serve me to take that, just leave it for the last pick of the draft.

And my back-to-back picks right now are going to be brought to you by Blue Moon, Jake. Yeah. Trev, you were juiced up about this the other day. I was sipping on some Blue Moons this past weekend. You guys all know Blue Moon. Blue Moon's kind of a step up. And Blue Moon, I've been out to the brewery, the Sandlot Brewery, Jim.

Sandlot Brewery? Yeah, my movie. My movie. Sandlot brewery. Orange. How do you feel about that? Iconic. It's a color.

BBD said Benny. the jet. Gagas. The gagas are now. The gagas. Oh, little teaser. I don't think that happens for a little bit. Yeah.

Blue moon, refreshing flavor with the Valencia, orange peel and the subtle sweetness. Hints of coriander. Belgian-style wheat ale is a one-of-a-kind beer that's made brighter. Hello. Hello. It's blue moon. It's blue moon.

A-clock, people. Make winter feel like spring training. Blue-moon, Belgian-style wheat ale. Get dot blue moon. Blue moon beer.com slash baseball. Check out your delivery options. Why not? Drink and stay home.

That's what my dad used to tell me. Get. Dot blue moon beer.com slash baseball. Celebrate responsibly. Blue moon brewing golden Colorado. All right. I am in a bit of a pickle here on scene. I know what team I want,

but I think I'm going to make that my third round pick. I have every scene that I had on my board is still, available. Trev took Dotting Dotting and Kit. I have one from that movie but I don't think I'm taking it. I, man, there's so many good scenes. That was my favorite category actually. I don't think I should draft one from the San Lot even though that's on my all-time thing. I said I have then two sandlot picks. I still haven't made up my mind between the two I want or the three I want. With your third round pick and your second round, that'll that'll, you know, make us think a little bit. it'll improve the value of that third round pick if you do it, right?

It's true. No, because my third round pick, the team I want isn't chalk, and people aren't going to like it. Yeah, people are going to be upset if I drafted it too, but it is a good draft for people that listen to the app. This is tough. I'm going to be so upset if you guys take one of the scenes I'm not taking here out of my three.

Yeah, let me see. God, which I'm the only movie off the board. I'm trying to not double up. or is it good to double up? I'll take the one I wanted. Did he take the Cacombas? I have a scene from that movie. Oh.

And it's when he puts the headphones on and starts playing. I don't think the rest of the movie holds up. But I think, and that team is not great. They're actually pretty bad. An iconic team. But that scene, I like when you call me big pop, and the kid gets into the zone.

I think it's mimicked by kids. It's like a strategy people try to do, like playing a song in their head. And he starts mowinging to. and I'm down. The other coach, he can't do that. And he goes and cries in the corner

and then he goes and cries in the corner. And they just kids get smoked by the cacumbas. Yeah. So that's the scene that I want. I think there's better chalky picks. But for people that have seen that scene, you remember it. Like you might not remember that movie,

but you remember, oh, when the kid listens headphones and pitches, there's no way you forget that. That scene's played on Jumbotrons all throughout minor league baseball fields, even some big league fields throughout every single game. It's great.

Great picture. And then now let's hear this reach. Let's hear this reach. I'm taking the angels from angels in the outfield. You have God on your side and literally like you have angels making plays for you. Majority team plus God. I mean, tough team to beat.

Yeah. They got McConaughey. They got Tony Danza. They're hot as shit. Plus they have an angel that will just fly you to the ball or take the foul pole, bend it. So it's now a fairer. and it's a home run.

Like tough to beat a team that's got God on their side. Divine intervention, literally. Yeah. Wow. And you also are a big fan of paper out of baseball. They didn't have to have paper in baseball. They can play wherever they want. Yeah.

I mean, their faith, they're the one team that can say, like I'd love to thank my faith and God for helping me out here and really mean it. They truly understand, you know, this isn't a guess. God was on my side,

not yours. Oh. Yeah. So that's my team. A great manager. I like it. Some good picks there. I love the movie scene.

You're up, Jake. That team? So I've taken the cacombas. Taking the cacombas. I took Stan Ross. Yeah. You know, Hall of Fame kind of guy.

You campaigned that it was awesome that he had 3,000 hits, but he actually didn't have 3,000. Jim, he could have had 3,000. But he's a team player. Yeah, essentially. And life's not all about, numbers.

Yes, I'm just saying that your selling point was how cool 3,000 hits were. He was a Hall of Fame, because Jim, the whole point, you know, having 3,000 hits is having 299.99. No. I'm between movie and scene. Two choices left. Movies got more opening as I'm the only one to take a movie. BPD took a movie, right? No.

Team and player. He took team and player. So Major League, the movie hasn't been taken yet. No. Oh. My goodness Major League the movie It's my favorite baseball

I'm glad that was... Round three? Yeah, I think that's the best value. Value. I think that's the best value in the entire draft. You got a Cicumbus scene A controversial first pick

but people are like, wow. Well, I got my... I'm happy with Sam La One. I'm happy with Sam, it's on those two for letting you get that in the third round. Sheesh, that's my favorite baseball movie. Yeah, it's...

Winning out of spite is like my... favorite thing. I mean, Sanlott and then... Rotten, blah. Sandlot and then Major League were the top two movies on my board easily. There's a big space after those. I don't know if I have those. I mean, I'd have other movies

close with those and on par. Major League's pretty high on my list. If I didn't feel as great about my secondary team options as movie options, I might have said that wrong, but it would have been the movie I targeted.

But I was like, I'll get the team. Well, Bibi, you are now up and you have movie and scene open. Trev goes after you where he is going to take a movie. That is true. So the scenes on the board no matter what. That's a helpful reminder because I was going to go scene because my movie is a little, I think a little off the map. So, so thank you.

You don't like all that. You don't like all the help I'm giving? Trevor, I don't, I'm going to be surprised if you're upset with my movie pick here. I want bench warmers. Oh. It's funny. Oh. My good friends in that movie like that.

Oh my God. Swordson. Oh. Yes, Nick Swordson is in the fantasy football league. I was too old for that movie. It was the first time I saw a movie and realized I'm too old for this. There's a little too recent for you guys to like it be in your heartstrings. Yeah, because we were.

too old. It was like, I think you need to see that when you're 12 or under for the first time. I did. Yes. Yes. I'm not disagreeing with your age group loving it. I was just 18.

So I was like, oh, I don't think this is my demo. All right. Treve, you got a round out your draft here. This is it for me. And I wasn't really going into this draft looking for the best value or the best

having the best draft. I wanted it to be personal to me. I keep reminding you guys of that. Not a good draft for you. If I, wanted to pick a movie that I thought was like the best movie I would have picked a league of their own which I believe is on par with major league and I believe it is on par with the sandlot that's my number three we just agree that's my number three yeah good flick but I'm not gonna pick it

okay aren't fair because I don't want to have two of the same things I don't want to have seen I don't I don't want to have movie I agree with that as well I mean summer catch Marla hutch I mean what a hitter it goes on and on yeah I am going to go with something that's near and dear to to my heart No one's ever promoted a league of their own and led with Marla Hooch before. That was insane. I love Marla Hooch. The way she's like breaks and her dad is like, see? Mrs. Hooch is hilarious name for someone.

So I'm going to go with, if you guys know, my dad was a pool man, my grandpa was a pool man. I played Little League in California. We had misfits. I almost named my son Kelly after Kelly Leak, the bad boy cigarette smoking motorcycle ride a motherfucker. I'm going to with Bad News Bears, the original, 1976 with Walter Mathau and Tatum O'Neill. Walter Mathau. It spawns other good movies when they go to Japan.

That's great. They play in the Astrodome. That's great. You're not taking those one. You're just taking the original. I'm taking Bad News Bears, the original. Just because there's a lot of similarities to my youth in that.

My dad was not drinking beer in the dugout, but he was a pool man. A lot of people are going to like that pick. You're going to get a demo that BBD isn't going to get. Different different demos. You guys like, you know, put a spike in the earth and you're on bolder, each side with those two. For my team.

Yes. Let me ask you as a question. All right. Have ever played in the playoffs? No. Well, was I part of, Let's ball. Twice.

Was I part of any mediocre teams in the show? Saw a couple. Yeah. But did we have heart on those teams? I am going with the Milwaukee Brewers from Mr. 3,000. for a couple different reasons. One, I love the mentor aspect that Stan Ross brings in.

We got the guy T-Rex, who just thinks he's the best, but he has to learn how to actually play baseball. Should I watch this movie? I've only seen it once. I've never seen it. You got to watch it. He learns how to be a team player and get along with everyone. I love the two Latino brothers up the middle, rolling double plays.

It should be respected more, man. And many a times in my... big league career we were fighting for third place and we took pride in that baby and i think that's what they ended up getting man i think that was the point that was tough as me at the end of the movie the first one i'm watching when they all stand on the chairs and the and chant third place i'm like i think i think i can't root for you as a heart yeah we never we never did that i think i could root for us a movie if that's that's the come together scene but the the the camaraderie that ends up happening the closeness of that team i felt that before and that's my drive people wow

Yeah. Why did you look so surprised? surprised when it was like we can use it for your beard now. Like, have you been using your manscaper lawnmower for your beard as well, like going back and forth? I don't know. Jake's kind of a toes to, toes to fingernail shaver. Because you look surprised.

Like, oh, they haven't had a beard one. Trev, I don't want to tell you a lot, but I, I mean, I don't know a ton about shade. I, I've used a blade because there's not a lot of hair that comes in on my face. What about that when you grow those goatees? that's a razor. I'm around it. I don't think you've had to declutter before. I don't have a lot of facial hair.

But maybe I'll get in the Manscape game. They sent us enough that I've been able to have a face and a knot face. A guy's beard on my face before. Yeah, I've put his beard on Jake's face before. Jimmy trimmed his beard with a trimmer, Manscape Trimmer, put it on my face. Yeah, super glow. All right. Trav, you have to take your team.

He did. Oh, sorry. I wrote it in movie. So you have to lose fair. Yes, I have to take my scene and wrap up my draft. I'm going to take the No Crying and Baseball scene. Iconic, very quotable, comes up a lot when you play. I mean, Jimmy Dugan has many, many lines in that movie that we all can recite,

but there's no crying in baseball. It transcends the movie. It transcends. It transcends everything. It's the one that I think has the most carrying power. Yes. Jake, are you going to take a scene from the movie A League of Their Own?

I am not. Okay. I have a scene that I like from a League of the Own. I would have taken that because this is like a big time reach. But when he gives the pump up speech when he's drunk as shit and it's just gibberish and he's just, and then walks out and they're left to look around and be like, What? That is such a good scene.

That's my... It's good mom. Yeah. I love... Hold on. Let me one more Jimmy Dugan thing in. When he goes into the church and like he's doing his thing, he doesn't believe, but then he, like, he realized, though I better turn around and deal and give a little, you know, Father

Son, Holy Spirit. Oh, so good. Yeah. So good. Great stuff, guys. Genuinely. Jake, you have to draft a scene. I'm going to take a scene from a scene from.

movie. I support crying in baseball. I just want to say that. I'm so excited to talk scenes after the draft. I have like five on my board. Uh, there's a couple things that define me as a person. Short. Um, short. Um, hairless. No. Silly. Um, dumb. I'm, I was gonna, I was gonna rip off that a little bit. Um, you mentioned short, but that actually works. Um, you know, there's the youth and the love of baseball. Um, um, my mother. I love my mother. I have a blind belief in myself for no reason. Okay. And in the movie Rookie of the Year, his juice runs out. Yeah. And his arm. Yeah. And so what does he do? He looks over to his mom. Yeah. And she tells him, fling it up there. Oh, she says fling. She doesn't. She says, like, lofted. Loft it. Loft it. He says, float it. Floated. Floated, yeah. The Eiffis

pitch. I've read about three books in my life. One was about Rip Sewell, Sewell, in the Ephis pitch. You read the whole book about an Ephis pitch? Yeah, man. Because I thought that might be my ticket one day. And for Henry Rohingerner versus Big Pete, not Big Pete, he gets him. And that's a moment for me.

He's got his loser buddies in the stands that are hyped for him because his buddies on the Cubs for no reason as a little leaguer. There's mom, there's a crazy old guy. in the stands that he's hype. It's a beautiful scene and I'm taking it. The problem with that scene, there's a dark element to it. Because if you notice in that movie, Henry only gets the girl because he becomes a big leaguer. She wasn't feeling him when he was dropping balls in the outfield.

What do you think she's going to do when he's got no arm anymore? Yeah, true. I want to his mom. I also have a scene from that movie on my board. That is also just like a personal favor of mine. Like I've never drafted. but when they go on the boat trip and it's like, good luck.

Oh, yeah, that's good. They're going to try to get the chicks in the boat. You know the song. Yeah, because they've been working on the boat all summer. Yeah. And he's been ditching them to be a major league player. And they're like,

we just got to be kids again. And then they're splashing each other with the girls and flirting and that song's playing. Is it good loving? Or give a little bit. Give a little bit of your head. Is it that song? I don't know.

I love that scene. I used to have a VHS and I would have it play. I just put it in and played that scene when I just put it in and play that scene. when I needed good vibes. I probably did that once or twice in my life. It's a great scene. I actually gave this lesson to my son Teddy.

And I don't mean, this isn't like, doesn't mean everyone. But I said, Teddy, girls love boats, bro. And he didn't know what I meant. And then kind of asked his mom,

and she's like, I said, do you love a boat? She's like, I love a boat. I said, see? So it made sense.

The scene made sense. Jimmy's looking up to see what song it is in there. You told Teddy girls love boats. huh? Yeah. As long as you know early. Gotta get on to the two. Talking over it a little bit.

Copyright. Yeah. Yeah. Do we finish the draft or do you have something, James? You got to finish the draft. I'm left. I have a player. I have fictional player left.

And this is near and dear to my heart. I love catchers. I'm taking Crash Davis. King of the minor league home run, which is a dubious honor. wins the girl in the end. He's a mentor to young guys. So in the end, he can look back and get his coaching tree

and reflect on that as well as the home runs. Kind of a gritty grinder guy gets to a team instantly, like basically is the manager, you know, because he's got so much status in the minor league system. The bar fight scene is awesome. Couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat. Then he throws the pitch and misses him. And then the Lusia's like, damn.

That's such a good scene. I got punk so bad. I thought you were going catcher for sure. Yeah, it was Jake Taylor. Crash Davis, but I like Crash Davis more. I mean,

the bar fight scene and then and then tell him the batter what pitch is coming because he got shook off and then yelling at the batter for watching it. Like he was like a crazy director of that whole situation.

That's another good scene. And I'd, Bulldorum is my top four movie with the other three we talked about for sure. If the ending wasn't 15 minutes long, I'd like it more. But like the movie ends and there's 15 minutes of slow love story that you're like, this is still going on. Well, there it is. Yeah.

To round it off. BPD has benchwarmers as his movie. No crying in baseball as is seen. The Cleveland Indians from Major League. as his team, and Benny the Jet as his player. Trev, you got Bad News Bears as your movie, the Doddian kit play as you're seen, the Brewers for Mr. 3,000 as your team,

and Steve Nebraska as your player. I like those two picks a ton. Jake, Major League as your movie, float it for Mercury of the Year as you're seen. Cacombas as your team and Stan Ross as your player. I have the Sandlot as my movie. Like it when you call me Big Papa as my scene. Angels from Angels in the Alto as my team.

And Crash Davis as my player. I like Crash Davis as last pick in the draft. I like the value I got there. That is nice. Jake's not a fan of four-A guys though. Although he's just the three-A guy, right? Show guy. He got time in the show.

He got time to show. ungodly breaking balls in the show. Oh, yeah, lying. Yeah. Sheesh. No fungus on your...

You see one of those tumblers coming in and you're a, who, who, the trick play scene from Little Big League, that's an awesome one when they all shake their hats and put on the fake pickoff play.

And they get Griffey at first. I had that. A lot of scene. Yeah, the fireworks, Fourth of July game and the Sandlot. If I didn't draft Sandlot one and movie was taken, that would have been my first

scene taken in a i'm surprised it didn't go but i didn't want to match movie and scene but that is maybe my favorite baseball scene of all time it's a lot of good scenes i mean the uh thing in major league yeah the rookie when he throws and the speed the speed limit sign on the side of the road says like you know like 70 and then it flickers is 98 or whatever the hell the numbers are chills yeah actually for the rookie it's when his dad shows up to watch him play and he gives in the game ball. Oh, I cry. At the end of that movie, that's, that's tear-jurking scene for me. Joaquin Phoenix, he starts hitting the water.

Yeah, the aliens. I mean, that's... It's a good one. That's nuts. For a fictional team, I had Rockford Peaches. Right. And I thought, I thought, I thought, uh, that movie could have offered us a lot more. Yeah.

We only got, yeah, two scenes from it. We didn't get a player. I thought the Rockford Peaches would be a team. I thought we'd get a player at a team from there. I thought that movie would get all four categories. I hope that people are like, listen to this part and understand. I think that is my number one baseball movie.

I mean, I wanted to pick. I just didn't want to double up. There's just so many, like, absolutely timeless moments in that movie. I think, I think from like beginning to end,

it's the best movie also, like better than the Sanla, better than Major League. I think Sanla and a league of their own are my top two. I think a league of their own is the best, is a better movie than Major League. Major League is a better comedy. The people in that movie are hilarious, too.

Madonna's in it. Rosio Donald. Yeah, Roseo Donald. Is that Roseanne? Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell. Gina Davis. Yeah. Hubba, hubba, by the way.

Okay. Okay, which at what age? Beetlejuice. Hmm. Is it, is it? Is it summer catch where Jessica Beale comes out of the pool? We're doing hubba hub at times. Yeah.

A lot of people are going to be like, well, no Roy Hobbs are best player. Boo. Ew. Hubs. Hops out the lights. Billy Chapel for pitcher. I had him. Nukleloosh.

Yeah. These are all obvious. I like Willie May's Hayes coming out of bed to beat everyone in the race. That would have been the scene. One of the scenes I would have chosen. That's the sound on the board. Yeah. I was.

I thought about. saving Roger Dorn for my favorite, my player. Because, you know, he had a really good career, and he reminds me of Trev. That's so mean. Trev, get your body in front, man. I know. Yeah, Roger Dorn, I get it 24, too.

Take one for a team. How about, how about this? The scene is a glorious bastards, Eli Roth, the baseball bat. Is that count as a baseball scene? Because that's a pretty... Sure. Different vibe for the team.

Woo! Five for the team. Yeah. Good drive. Everyone. Proud of us. Nice funeral episode. I'm glad Steve Nebraska got picked.

I was surprised he went number one. And I'm glad he got it. I had to get him. He's the best player by far in this draft. He's electric. All the family. Wow. All right.
