Quero has already won 3 challenges today

Y'all are on it.

Does anyone know how Quero has done on challenges so far today?

Whoopie Pie update: Good
Davy Andrews
3:04
Further update: I have texted Matt like 15 questions about the texture, flavor, composition, baking technique of the whoopie pie.

Treat for the next Subway Ghosts show? Would be extra-impressive given the logistics involved.

I'm definitely going to make the Mariners moose cookies. I might have to cheat on these, as Matt indicated that it's likely a cake baked in a mold rather than a cookie with the features stamped into the dough.

@Oaktown Blues I hear Quero has won 3 challenges
Randy Johnson

I sure bet he started opening day of both of his Yankee years, so he'd be one. I am also certain Clemens had more than one with the Yankees, and definitely Sox and Jays and probably Astros too.

You're right about both. Meanwhile, I found Gaylord Perry with 5 teams as well: Cleveland, Giants, Mariners, Padres, Rangers.

Ask him about the mouth feel

Mouth feel good
Davy Andrews

He's a wordsmith.

Are we really asking Matt about Mr. Met's mouthfeel. Is that really a thing we're doing.
Davy Andrews
3:08
Say "Asking Matt about Mr. Met's mouthfeel" three times fast.
Matt Martell
3:13
That's a thing you're all doing. I'm just obliging

Acuna deciding to hit righty against the righty Mis is an interesting choice
Davy Andrews

I will never get sick of this joke (for at least another week).

Davy, which of your 1%/99% predictions do you most wish will actually happen?
Davy Andrews
3:10
I mean, I think Gabriel Arias turning into a great hitter would be truly wild. But it's got to be the Bratwurst turning into Milwaukee's MVP.

Dan, you have the Natty Bo in the coozie?

I'm a beer snob so no
and I drink very little these days because of my stomach

Too much beer can turn Useful Slop into Useless Slop

Honestly, I am NOT a beer snob, and I still can't stand Natty Bo.
AvatarJay Jaffe

I'm not even sure I've had a Natty Bo. More due to regional reasons than anything else.

James Wood got news of Cruz's exploits and said "hold my beer." Cubs draw even at 1 - 1. Cade Cavalli didn't wax his handlebar mustache for this crap.

I forget who it was, but one broadcaster last year kept pronouncing Don Kelly so that it came out as "Dank Ellie" and it drove me nuts

I recall reading that someone who listened to Red Sox games on the radio in the 1980s though Spike Owen's name was Spy Cohen.

Jim Deshaies just claimed that Michael Busch is now batting 2.000 on the season after getting his second hit in as many at-bats. I will quote this to my Cubs fan wife this evening and see if she sees anything wrong with that statement

Sciambi-Deshaies is a good broadcast duo.

Boog could make pretty much any booth solid and Deshaies isn't bad.

I think baseball needs to embrace being the ultimate 2nd screen experience. I have huge open world RPG on one monitor and baseball on the other is peak.

Royals are really missing out on an opportunity to serve the Hipolito Pitcher-do, a pitcher of Boulevard Wheat in a collectible pitcher

Natty Bo is a cultural thing...but a terrible beer.  Jerold Hoffberger owned the National Brewing Company, and he brought the Orioles to Baltimore from St Louis in 1954.  Thus, the Natty Bo connection.

Juan Soto with the bases loaded, good luck with that, Buccos
