In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark explore current events in baseball, including the Mariners' recent challenges, the anticipation for the trade deadline, former MLB stars like Trevor Bauer and Robinson Cano in the Mexican League and they learn about John Coleman and his no good, really bad rookie season (and his modern day counterpart). The main segment is Mark and Jeff each telling three short stories, two of which are true and one that is made up. Can you figure out which is which? Finally, Wax Pack Heroes pits some players from 1991 against each other in a duel to the baseball card death. 00:00 Introduction and Mariners' Struggles 01:56 Trevor Bauer and Other MLB Players in Mexico 06:17 Astros' 1995 Game and Peculiar Baseball Stories 24:01 Bizarre Baseball Stories: Fact or Fiction? 38:53 Wax Packs Heroes: Baseball Card Battles 41:37 First Round: David Cone vs. Mark Newfield 45:18 Second Round: Todd Van Poppel vs. Mark Dewey 49:37 Third Round: Mike Scott vs. Paul Molitor 53:30 Fourth Round: Todd Stottlemyre vs. Scott Fletcher 58:01 Fifth Round: Juan Berenguer vs. Jack Morris 01:01:30 Sixth Round: Gary Templeton vs. Mike Heath 01:05:08 Seventh Round: Steve Lyons vs. Kevin Seitzer 01:08:45 Eighth Round: Mike Morgan vs. RJ Reynolds 01:11:07 Final Round: Junior Ortiz vs. Jimmy Key 01:13:58 Conclusion and Wrap-Up Facebook -https://www.facebook.com/TwoStrikeNoise/ Instagram - @twostrikenoise Bluesky - @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Threads - @twostrikenoise Twitter - @twostrikenoise Two Strike Noise on YouTube - www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise E-mail - [email protected] We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.
