Und ich habe das Foto gefilmt, um das Foto für 30 Minuten zu rekreatieren und nie noch so nahe gekommen. Er hat gesagt, ich verspreche dir, wenn ich das Foto jeden Tag für eine Stunde bis ich 90 Jahre alt bin, werde ich niemals das Foto rekreatieren können. Das war so verrückt.
That's a good question. That's how you use a Tim Kirchen, Dan. Tim? I think I said it was Ron Hasse. He did. And then I pitched. He caught a bunch of no-hitters and was a good catcher. And he had some bad knees, so he was slow. And Chris, you came up with Benji Molina, right? Yes, Benji Molina.
Und Benji Molina, der einmal für den Cycle gespielt hat. Wie war das? Wow. Also Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron und Babe Ruth haben nie für den Cycle gespielt. Aber Benji Molina hat es gespielt. Ich möchte das Triple sehen. Es ist so gut. Es ist so gut. Die Sporte sind so gut. Und du hast recht, Dan.
Ich bin immer noch überrascht, wie die Probabilitäten und die Möglichkeiten sind, wenn du ein Spiel siehst. Und das Schuss habe ich noch nie gesehen. Und du hast recht. Ich glaube nicht, dass wir das wieder sehen werden.
No, but Dan, this is why I'm laughing. I swear to God, yesterday I went to the Safeway and this guy comes up to me. I don't even know him. And he says, what's your favorite looks like on the Levitard game? I don't even know who he is. So I tell him, well, it's Jeff Van Gundy, who looks like the coroner who does an autopsy while he's eating a ham sandwich.
And then this guy says to me, my favorite, he said, is Stan Van Gundy looks like the generic face on a pizza box. I came on right after him. This is unbelievable. What a position me next to Stan Van Gundy after a guy in the frozen food aisle asked me a question about the Van Gundy brothers.
Yeah, I used to host a show on baseball called the Seamhead Edition of Baseball Tonight, which ran every Sunday. I did that for four years and that was really cool. But this is by far the best thing that I've ever done and the most satisfying thing that I've ever done. Does Paul Feinbaum
Isn't he the personification of the NCAA rulebook?
It's the playoffs, Dan. You can't use these during the NBA playoffs.
Speaking of strikeouts and lead-off guys, last night Lawrence Butler struck out four times in a game for the A's hitting lead-off. So that's 16 times this season that a lead-off hitter has struck out four or more times in a game.
Again, Dan, I bring this up because when I grew up, the lead-off guy was a pixie little second baseman shortstop who could run a little bit, put the ball in play and rarely struck out. No season before June has ever had 16 guys strike out four or more times out of the leadoff spot.
Just another reminder how much the game is evolving, that we just put our biggest and best players, whether it's Kyle Schwarber, Shohei Ohtani, in the leadoff spot, because they can get up more times. If they strike out four times in a game, it's not a big deal. So, yeah, that's just another thing that is changing in the game. You mentioned Aaron Judge, Dan.
I got asked the other day if Aaron Judge is going to hit 400 this year. The answer is a resounding no, nothing against him. It's just this is the hardest hitting environment that I've ever seen and no one will ever hit 400 facing the stuff that they face every day. The fact that he is that close to 400 and we're almost to June and he's 6'7", 282, Es ist ein Wunder.
Und es zeigt, wie viel er als Hitter beteiligt ist. Er hat immer gewonnen. Er hat immer gespielt. Er hat immer aus der Streichzone geschossen. Er macht das nicht so oft mehr. Deshalb ist er fast jeden Abend spektakulär gut.
No, it's Field of Dreams, no doubt. My dad was the most important part of my life in every way. My dad was a really good player. My dad taught me and my brothers how to play the game, gave us a feel for the game. And that movie is all about a father and a son. So yes, it is my favorite movie. It always will be my favorite movie.
I like that Charlie Sheen was able to throw a baseball athletically. I was not expecting that. And he did, playing the part of Rick Vaughn, the pitcher in Major League. And today I'm going to the airport as soon as I'm done here to pick up my friend Rick Vaughn, who used to be the PR director of the Rays and the Orioles. Yeah, Rick Vaughn, big redhead.
Und Rick Vaughn hat wirklich hart in seinem Tag gespielt. Wirklich hart.
There are probably a handful that could throw three straight pitches, 99, 101, 102. Maybe a handful, but that's three pitches in a row that's hard to do. Maybe a couple more, maybe one more than that could throw as hard as 102.
Right. And Mason Miller is tremendous. And by the way, that guy got sick a couple of years ago and he lost weight down to like 155 pounds. I weighed 140 this morning, by the way. He weighed 155 because of the sickness. Then he gained it all back and now he throws over 100 miles an hour again. And Dan, one more time, if anyone out there.
Actually thinks they could put a ball in play against a major league pitcher today. You've got to be kidding me. And 102 is an incomprehensible rate of speed. Chris, sit down. You have zero chance. None of you guys would get a bunt down against Garrett Cole or anybody else. No. Left-handed, right-handed. No chance. Chris, you have a good swing, I can tell.
