What is Camp Fiesta and why does the host promote it at the top of the episode?
You're used to a cold open being here for the pitch clock, but I am going to use this time right before we get started to once again promote Camp Fiesta. I got to mention it on the show earlier this week. Camp Fiesta is a nine day sleep away summer camp for children with cancer that I am fortunate enough to be a part of here locally in South Florida. It has existed for 40 years. This will be our 41st year of Camp Fiesta. It is a nonprofit. We raise all of our money simply through donations. So if you have a dollar to spare, go to campfiesta.com slash donate. It's campfiesta.com slash donate. Donate what you can. And if you can't, just send some good vibes our way. Camp starts next week. So thank you and enjoy this episode of The Pitch Clock.
Welcome to the Pitch Clock. Here's the pitch, a two-part baseball segment combining a nostalgic baseball trivia game and an interview with an expert. This is the Pitch Clock. The pitch clock is back. Hey, what? I'm not doing it. Why? I'm just kidding. Hi, everybody. Hey, all right. You got me. You got me. You got me. I'm not worried. I'm a jokester. You are. What a silly goose over here. Fist me. Nice. It's baseball season, guys. We're back. All-star break already happened. Baseball games are being played. Netflix, am I right? Home run derbies? I loved it. It was fun. I loved that home run derby. It was fun. Just shout out Jordan Walker.
Dude mashing bangers.
How does the show introduce the Pitch Clock format and the Immaculate Grid trivia game?
Yeah, dude. Dudes hitting taters. Yeah. And now we have a new trivia game to play. We'll get to our baseball expert momentarily. But Ethan, what do we got going on? today so you mentioned dudes hitting taters yeah how about dudes naming guys dudes naming guys yeah so what i do jeremy you won last week would you like to go first or second i'd like to go second leave the room carl pavano chris cody hey fan favorite with the war that you get Hi, Chris. I just peaked. It's fine. Open up your folder, then. We're going to bring back an old favorite. Remember the Immaculate Grid?
Ah, the Immaculate Grid.
It's been around so long. It's been around since before I was even on the show. Yes. Wow. Long time ago.
Mm-hmm.
This is grid number 1188. The reason I picked this one is because it's an all teams grid. So it's going to be three teams on the top, three teams on the left. Your teams are, across the top, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Detroit Tigers, and the Atlanta Braves. Down the left are the St. Louis Cardinals, the Boston Red Sox, and the Washington Nationals. This, of course, will include the Montreal Expos in the Nationals category. So, Chris Cody, you know how it works. We're going for low rarity score. This should be relatively easy. Once you get one, if you get one wrong, it's just going to add to your rarity score. Okay. I am starting to sweat.
Why am I not, like, this is so easy, this game. Like, this is... Just work with me here. Work with me here a little bit. I'm waiting for you. Okay. I got one. Yeah. I found one. Yeah. Just thought of it. Keith Folk. Keith Folk. Which team? I think he played for the Tigers and the Red Sox.
I think so. I think you're right. Oh. I got it wrong? Yeah, he did play for the Red Sox, but he did not play for the Tigers. I mean, I can just be bad at this. I don't know if I'm going to do much better. That's fine. Jeremy might not do much better either. I'm telling you, this is a toughie.
He definitely will do a lot better than this. But hold on, I'm not giving up hope here. Hold on, let me just think for a second. All right. Cardinals, Braves, Raphael for call. So happy.
Raphael for call, 4% was a Brave and a St. Louis Cardinal. Cody, you are on the board. I'm on the board. I'm on the board. I feel good about this. I'm sweating.
I don't like this.
Our 2026 MLB expert is here. It's ESPN insider for Major League Baseball. Kylie McDaniel. Kylie is working on the trade deadline now and just recently had an article drop. with Jeff Passan on the most likely trade candidates as we approach the MLB trade deadline.
