So I called my dad last week right after we played the game. It was embarrassing. And I said, Dad I'm so sorry. Yeah. And he asked me what happened and I explained to him the results of the game. And he filed paperwork to disown me as a sort of I was wondering why I got a text from your dad with adoption, like a link to adopt paper. Adoption papers he wants to adopt you? Yeah. Not Michael though? No. Hm. Well, Jason and Chris. Yeah. Will you change your last name? Yeah. Or will you at least go by Kote now? So like Tashe. I'll convert in any way needed. Chris Tashe. Tashe. Christopher the Jew. Who knew? Mm-hmm. Let's start the show. Yeah. 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. Alright, pitch clock is back. Blowing out the eardrums because I'm um I'm I'm locked in. I'm ready to go. Yeah. I'm I'm I'm taking the failure of last week. I'm throwing it out of my mind. I'm thinking about a playoff race in Major League Baseball. I'm excited for that. I'm in good spirits and I'm not going to fail today. Right, Ethan? Didn't Chris Cody? fail already by forgetting to do something. There it is. There it is. I mean he started with a his cold open was just like a story time instead of the classic the pitch clock. Hi everybody! Well, Jeremy, good news for you is you won't be able to make a Lou Gehrig-like fluff because we're not using hitters today. We're gonna talk about some pitchers.
So within that folder there, there is a list of criteria. I had to have a strength it'd be hitters. Okay. Yeah? Okay. So there is a list of five criteria in front of you. Okay. Uh we are going to build a rotation based off of these five criteria. So for those playing at home, we have a less than three-time All-Star, a player that pitched for multiple teams in the same division. A multi-time Cy Young award winner. Spent time as a reliever. Spent time as a reliever. Spent pirate. And a Pittsburgh Pirate. Okay. Are you writing C? What we're gonna do is we're going to take the best uh their career best ERA. We will average those ERAs, pump out a rotation ERA, the best rotation ERA wins the game. Their career best ERA for a season.
Single season ERA. Jeremy, you were awful last week. You do not deserve to go first. Chris Cody, you will draft first. Bro, this is so hard. It was hard before you made it. The last two make it so hard. I'm like
This is I need a
second here. Um, okay. A pitcher. That was a pirate. Can be from any day and age. If only Darren Oliver had won a But I'm sick of this guy helping people over and over again. I'm helping I'm the one coming off a tough week. Best DRA ever. Pedro Martinez. In for which category? Cy Young. Okay. Pedro's career best ERA was in 2000. It was a 174. Unbelievable. Spent time as a reliever is a slippery slope. Yeah, I'm going with spent time. What's the minimum time here? We're talking like one relief appearance. We're talking about a guy who was a reliever. Just someone that you can push and so it's like porn. Someone that you can't do. It's like porn. You know when you see it. Yeah, exactly. And so I know when I see it, I'm going John Smalls.
Yeah, okay. That's I'll allow it. Allow it. I'm I made that category with him and I it's textbook. But I guess if you spent time as a reliever, you could have just always been a reliever. But you gotta be a starter. Oh. So you've had to have had one start. So you spent time as a starter, technically. Gabe knows what I'm talking about. Yeah. Wow.
Which pitcher should be drafted for the rotation game and why?
In tw in 2003, when he was a reliever, he made 62 appearances out of the pen and pitched to a 1-1-2. That's right. Tom Glavin. Okay, for which category. Multiple teams, same division. I had him written down. A 2-4-7 in 33 starts in 98. I'm very excited about this because we have the triumphant return of David Sampson as our twenty twenty-six MLB guest, one of our very favorites, one of my favorites. Couldn't be happier to have you back here, David. Thank you for taking the time to join us here on the
pitch clock. Triumphant, I'm not so sure about, but thank you.
