The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

And 19 different guys had a three-homer game, and three of those had a four-homer game this year.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

The point is, this is what we played today.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

You hit the ball out of the ballpark.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

or you strike out and there's not much in between.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

Now we're getting a little closer to the game we used to play 40 years ago where the ball's in play more, guys are stealing bases, the Brewers and the Blue Jays run all over the place and make somebody stop them.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

That's a good sign.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

But we're still in an era where the strikeout rate is ridiculous.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

We will have more 100 strikeout guys this year

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

than from 1900 to 1963 combined.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

That's what we look at these days.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

And everyone seems to be okay with everybody striking out 100 times and everybody just trying to hit home runs.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

But I would like to see us go back to a different game, the game that we played 40 years ago.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

Listen, speaking of looks like, you got to look this up, Dan.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

Ernie Clement is an infielder for the Blue Jays and a really good one.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

He made the gold glove finalists as a third baseman and as a utility player.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

So there's a chance he could win the gold glove at third base and

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

and win the Gold Glove as a utility player, which I find ridiculous.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

But Ernie Clement looks exactly like Aaron Boone, a younger Aaron Boone, who is the manager of the Yankees.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

And we got a text the other day from Brett Boone, Aaron's brother, watching the game on TV while we're doing it on the radio.

Hour 1: The Hotel Expert (feat. Tim Kurkjian)

And he said, he looks exactly like my brother.
