I have Gates Brown's autograph. It has no mustard smudges.

Timmermann was of course the Tigers closer before Fred Scherman displaced him.

Dan how do you pronounce your last name? Realizing now I have no idea if the way I say it makes sense ("sim", rhyming with "jim")
AvatarDan Szymborski
2:32
zim-BORE-skee, which is absolutely wrong in the original Polish, but is horrible to say
gotta say the OF *and* the record he holds (don't need the exact number)

AI got your answer too quickly.  Sad state of affairs.

AI can hallucinate quite a bit!
Don't worry, the last one isn't googlable and you can only cheat if you're at my house
2:35
what REALLY amuses me about my last name pronunciation - Boog knows how I say my last name, so MY pronunciation gets to be in MLB the Show

Gavin is generating a ton of swing and miss, even for him. Will be excited to see how it looks compared to his baseline when it's all said and done.

i said this was the record: The record: Wilson holds the post–deadball era career record for most home runs hit by a player who never reached double digits in a single season (he hit 41 career HRs without ever hitting 10 in a season).

I don't know many swings-and-misses and called strikes the Tigers have against Williams, but it seems like a good mix of both. And a good bit of both.

People make a lot of mistakes. AI hallucinations are basically the most human thing they do.

Who does hold the record for most home runs without reaching double digits in a single season?

hmm, i can find tha tout

Sixth inning, tie game. As good as Skubal is, I think it would be a good idea to not give Jose Ramirez anything to hit. You don't want to give this guy a chance to beat you.

I copied and pasted the question about most HR without double-digits directly into Gemini (Google)... and it hilariously said the answer was "multiple players" with "9."

9 *is* the most home runs you can hit in a single season without going into double-digits! AI is coming for us all

The Guardians should just be bunting. Their batting average is way higher on balls in the infield.

Looking ahead to tonight, the Red Sox are 8-1 in their last nine postseason games against the Yankees. Obviously not predictive, but worth noting.

Is this the most evenly matched Wild Card series? Feels like good pitching, few runs is going to be the case for all 2 or 3 games
AvatarDavid Laurila
2:44
Yes and yes.

I personally think SD/CHC is closest
(ZiPS might too, I forget)
2:49
The answer is Brad Ausmus with 80 career homers and a career high of nine.
Tony Taylor is 75, 9
Garry Templeton 70/9
Fred Clarke 67/9
Edd Roush 64/8
Tommy Leach 63/7

Dan: Do you actually know Boog, or does he just have a general knowledge of your professional work?
AvatarDan Szymborski

acquainted
Remember, I worked for ESPN from 2010-2018

How did you find the single-season/career homer info?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I ran the numbers myself

Skubal is at 82 pitches with a season high of 105. Do you think he will be allowed to surpass that figure and, if so, by how many?
