It's the winter time. You know what that means? Baseball. Right. 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. Bet you didn't expect to see us right now. Hi, everybody. Pitch clock.
Yeah. We're here. We've been renewed.
Yeah. For one episode. For an episode. Yep. That much we know. Season three. Yes. Wow. How about that? Look at us. It's the winter meetings, and we wasted your time because we're going to talk to Adnan Virk soon about everything that happened. Well, I won't. All right, so I will. I'll talk to Adnan Virk soon about everything that was going on in the winter meeting, starting with the big Kyle Schwarber contract and continuing on through last night. But first and foremost, you know what we got to do. This is the pitch clock. We got to play some trivia. Yes. Ethan. What's our trivia for today? This week's suggestion comes from, or this week's game, comes from a suggestion that we received on Blue Sky. Shout out to Andrew Story on Blue Sky, who came up with this awesome idea that I'm really excited about.
We're going to use exactly what Andrew suggested, which is we're going to draft a team of players, and what we're going to do is, you're going to add up You're going to subtract their career RBI total from their career stolen base total. What you want to be searching for here is guys that stole a lot of bases but didn't necessarily drive in a lot of runs because you don't want to end up with negative numbers. You obviously want to end up with positive numbers.
I'll keep it at five. We're going stolen bases minus RBIs. Correct.
Stolen bases minus RBIs.
RBI. RBI.
RBI. RBI. RBI. RBI. So each player, I'll add up the total at the end. Whoever has the best total at the end, you will win. Who goes first? You won the season last season.
I did win.
I did. Jeremy, tee us off, and for the rest of this season, we'll just do whoever won the last game will go first. Terrific. Lou Brock. Lou Brock. Lou Brock has 938 career stolen bases and 900 career RBI.
That is a total of 38 points.
38 for Jeremy. Kill the Ovaris. He has 183 career stolen bases and 239 RBIs.
What were the highlights from the Winter Meetings?
So Cody is starting this game. So this could be fun, guys, because we could bounce him back and forth in big waves. We're going to both end up like zero. 56.
Look at that, man.
All right. You're off to a start. I've got a guy that was in the league, I think, only to steal bases. Raul Mondesi Jr., Adalberto Mondesi had 133 career stolen bases and 157 RBI. That is negative 24 for Jared.
Really?
I'm trying to think of guys that were just pinch runners. I mean, I have a couple names here, but I just know these guys have more RBI than stolen bases.
I wouldn't overcomplicate it. Okay. That's a hint. D. Gordon. That's a good one. That's a great shout. That's a really good one.
What trivia game do the hosts play and how does it work?
D. Gordon, 336 career stolen bases. 236 RBI. Game. Exactly 100 more. Cody, you are back in the ballgame. You're at 44 now. Yeah. And I'm at 14. All right.
I feel better about where I'm at. Oh, boy. So we're drafting how many players?
We're doing seven. So we've each got five left. Oh, man. This is tough. Okay.
What are the rules for the trivia game related to player stats?
I'm going to go... I'm going to go with Dave Roberts. When I think stolen bases, I think his one stolen base in that championship series. Nice job, Jeremy. Nice pull here. 243 stolen bases, 213 RBI. That is plus 30 for Jeremy. All right, now we're exactly tied right now.
Wow, that's impressive. I could just picture this guy. All right, I can't think of right now.
