That dude, Josiah Grey gets it even more so off
the field than he does on it. It's your boy,
Mark Gray, the O G and I'm going Deep for
the mixtape Washington National. Josiah Gray gets it in an
era of most young athletes caught up in their brand
(02:56):
and their narcissistic mindset. His gun that opens up and
gives himself freely to the kids in the DC community.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Josiah Gray is wise, but harn his years. Folks. This
is a kid who gets it.
Speaker 10 (03:12):
He knows that if you want to stimulate interest by
young African American potential baseball players, you have to give
them somebody that they can reach out and touch and
see and feel and look to them, not through a
television screen or on social media in their face. So
(03:34):
this one black American baseball player who's in the face
of young black American kids.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
He is Josiah Gray. That is why he is.
Speaker 10 (03:46):
More than worthy of being a nominee for the Roberto
Clemente Award.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
But even if he doesn't win, he's doing.
Speaker 10 (03:57):
His job by putting a black faced all the American game.
Thank you Black kids. Kennis Park to be like, it's

mike for the mixtape.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It's the Black A Report, the Black Age Report.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
It's the Black Age Report.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
The Black Age Report.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
What's up, everybody?
Speaker 11 (04:28):
This is justin Petroley with the Black A support on
the MLB Bro Show podcast mixtape. Here's where you get
the latest on the Melon and the Mount Marauders were
shoveling with precision and popping out all across the big leagues.
So let's chart the report. Hunter Green returned from the
covid Ie on September tenth and was absolutely sensational. He
pitched six strong innings in Cincinnati against their division rival
(04:49):
in the Saint Louis Cardinals, and only gave up one hit,
zero on runs. And sent down nine hitters on strikes.
He picked up his fourth win of the season, as
it was the first time in his young career that
he's picked up the win in consecut kative starts. With
the Reds having fourteen games left in the season, every
game counts as the only a half game out of
the last wildcard slot. Green is scheduled to get the
nod once again on Friday, September fifteenth against the Mets
(05:10):
in New York. While the Oders have been cruising to
have the best record in the American League, it has
not been a great month and a half for Blackjack Clarity.
He was very good in his first start with Baltimore
on August third, going six innings and picking up the win. However,
in his last five starts, he's zero two, has only
pitched five or more innings twice and as at eight
point seven to two ERA during this stretch. Flarity will
(05:32):
pitch again on Friday, September fifteenth against the Rays, which
will be a crucial board game series as only one
game separates the two teams from a top the Al
East TODs. Bradley pitched twice over the last seven days,
and while he didn't pick up the win to either start.
The Rays won both times. The Rays are now three
to zero and Bradley starts Since his return as he's
averaged a one point nine zero strikeouts to walk ratio
(05:52):
and ten point six to nine strikeouts for nine innings.
So that's the black A support for this week.
Speaker 5 (05:57):

Speaker 13 (09:08):
I'm Sebastian Ball and I'm the numbers man.
Speaker 14 (09:11):
Some well known Jason Hayward has been a great hitter
for many organizations over his long fourteen year career, and
at the young age of thirty four, he is hitting
better than he ever has in his entire career. With
his reseurss to form in LA, Jason Hayward has been
an underrated piece in this Dodgers team. Hayward, as of
(09:32):
September thirteenth, has a weight runs created plus of one
hundred and twenty five, which would be the highest since
his rookie season in seasons where he has had at
least two hundred plate appearances. This return to top hitting
form comes at the same time as his return to
defensive form, as he has accumulated six outs of of
average along with preventing six runs above average in the
(09:52):
outfield for the Dodgers in just six hundred and fifty
nine innight. This resurgon is on both sides of the
ball makes for a spectacular season for Jason Hayward, and
his current Fangrafs war total reflects that his war total
sits at two point two in just three hundred and
twenty five play appearances and just six hundred and fifty
nine defensive innings. This production over a full season would
(10:16):
warrant a war total of well over four and just
shows how great Hayward.
Speaker 13 (10:20):
Has been for the Dodgers. If he can maintain his
current production, you can expect to see him as an
impact player for the Dodgers. In October, Young.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Krit he had to tell you about the bro Bombers.
He had to tell you about mo drama.
Speaker 15 (10:40):
What's up everybody, This is young krit and this is
my wuki condout are the biggest plays made by MLB
bros over the past seven days. This week, come get
a number five. We have Arizona Diamondbacks offitter Tommy fam
who got some revenge on his old team on Monday
when he hit a double, a home run, got ANBI
and scored two runs as well, and a four to
(11:00):
three win over the New York Mets. Up next to
number four, we have national shortstop c. J. Abrams who
continues to rate. On Monday, he had two arm runs
and had three RBI and a six to win over
the Pittsburgh Pirates. Sitting in the three spot, we've got
money Mike Harris, who went off from the physics on
Monday and missed of a doubleheader. Between the two games,
(11:21):
he had four hits with a double, two arm runs,
and three RBI. And at number two this week we
have Oriol's outfitter Sedgric Mullins. We had a grand slam
at the bottom of the fifth inning on Monday to
help his team, then eleven five victory over the Angels. Finally,
number one on Chris con Down. You have Texas Rangers
second basement Marcus Simmy, who had two two ho run
(11:43):
games last week. On Friday, he hit his franchise record
eighth leadoff horme run of the year in a nine
four win of the Oakland A's Simmon has had a
stellar year and not for Mookie Betts for being contingent
for MLB bro the year. And that's ittil next week.
I'm Young Krek and this has been Chris counted down

Speaker 16 (12:28):
Jack Flerdy set the pitch for the Orioles on Apple
TVs seven h five pm East of Time. Cedric Mullins,
running around one hundred percent, just had a Grand Slam
Monday night. Mullins playing very well in his last fifteen games,
eleven hits, twelve RBI, three home runs, ten runs in

Speaker 16 (13:14):
Who is the playoff sleeper team Chicago Cubs versus Arizona
diamond Bass.
Speaker 9 (13:18):
Playing this weekend.
Speaker 16 (13:20):
Timmy fanm is playing extremely well for the Diamondbacks playoff push,
posting twelve hits, eight RBI, three home runs, eight runs
in three eighty seven bat and average in his last
seven games.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
Fan best part of his game that he's a.
Speaker 16 (13:31):
Great athlete, having explosive first step and covering the lot
of ground.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
Fan being the slugger just means he's really on top
of his game.
Speaker 16 (13:38):
As mlbbrought dot Comms covering everything black and Brown and
baseball as we'll be serving it up all season long
right here on MLB Bros Podcast The Mixtape.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
I'm Devine Cook, Stay hungry.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Your guns. I'm out here walking in these streets, and
the word on the MLB streets is that Tommy fam
is the number one trade deadline acquisition for the power, consistency,
and boost of offense that he's added to the Arizona
Diamondbacks lineup as they fight for the third National League
(14:17):
wild card spot?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Is it foul or fair? Fair?
Speaker 12 (14:22):
Arizona's fighting tooth and nail to hold off Miami and
San Francisco and Cincinnati, who's still lurking all three teams
too or less games behind Arizona for that final National
League playoff spot. Every at bat and every win counts.
With less than twenty games to play for most teams
in the regular season. At mlbbro dot com, we've covered
(14:46):
how Fans, veteran back in the heart of that Arizona lineup,
has given the Diamondbacks new life and an offensive boost
that they sorely needed down the stretch.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Fan was a bright spot early.
Speaker 12 (14:58):
In the season for the Mets, hitting two sixty eight
with ten homers in seventy nine games. But he's been
a firecracker since coming to Arizona at the trade deadline,
hitting six home runs with twenty five RBI and seven
steals in just thirty four games.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
And all of those homers and hits seem to be
big ones.
Speaker 12 (15:19):
And we have to go to Miami and talk about
Josh Bell since coming from the Cleveland Guardians at the
trade deadline, he's been impactful in that order, but fam
has been the heart and soul of the lineup in
Arizona and he's changed the offense and got them in
a position where they should make the playoffs. He is
the best trade deadline acquisition.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
What's up lake right?
Speaker 17 (15:45):
I'm live on tape of the ballpark bro dot com?
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Ko me wait? Wis all right?
Speaker 17 (15:57):
Ragdie Jackson appreciate you, Jonah mobebro dot com.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Let's first off.
Speaker 17 (16:01):
Talk about the twenty twenty three Houston Astros. That with
a bunch of injuries earlier in the season, you're done
Altuve paying, You're gone rally since the All Star break,
got Berliner back from the trade deadline, and it's a
playoff push in September here, So sort of what's your
quick assessment on the team.
Speaker 18 (16:18):
I think we've been playing better as we continue to go,
but we need to get better. We've still got some lusens.
We can pitch better, we can have more timely productive hitting.
We'll have a lot of outbursts where we score a
bunch of runs, but then all of a sudden we'll
(16:39):
come up with a one or two or something like that.
So we need to be the best team we can be.
I think we're the best team in our league. Maybe
Baltimore is better with their record, et cetera. But I
think I don't think we've played to our potential yet
(17:00):
the entire season, and here we are in it to
win it, if you will. We've got maybe twenty five
games left or something like that. I think we still
need to get better. We're in the hunt. We're probably
the favorite, but we can play better. We're here and
(17:23):
we haven't played our best.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
It's again choice, It's a gambler's voice.
Speaker 12 (17:33):
This week, the Gambler here with Black Baseball Dads, where
we get never told before stories from the fathers of
MLB bros. Coming up this week is Damian Simeon, father
of Texas Rangers all star infield DeMarcus who holds the
record for home runs in a season by a second
(17:54):
baseman with forty five and just had a twenty five
game hitting streak ended and that is good for second
place all time in Texas Rangers franchise history.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
So let's talk to the dad about Marcus's journey.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Good morning MLB bro.
Speaker 19 (18:11):
One particular memory that sticks out in my head about
Marcus Simeon as he was a kid. I remember peeking
into his room at night just to do my parents
check in on him, and he would be sleep with
his baseball glove as his pillow. And I found that real,
real interesting because it continued and when I saw that,
(18:36):
I knew this boy had a love for the game.
I believe this is carried over to his well actually
all throughout his baseball career from.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
T ball all the way up to the big leagues.
Speaker 19 (18:49):
And he has a strong love for the game that's
never left him since he's been a child, and I
think that's a big part of his success.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
He has a genuine love for the sport understood. Thanks
Damien for that story about your son.
Speaker 12 (19:07):
Marcus Simeon, who has finished in the top three in
al MVP voting twice since twenty nineteen. That concludes another
episode of the MLB Bro Show podcast mixtape for this week.
