Those classic kids with David Grubby grow podcast. It's those
classic kids with Daly Girl on mlbro pocast.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
What's up, everybody?
Speaker 9 (03:11):
I'm David Grubb and welcome to another week of classic
hits on the MLB.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Bro Show podcast The Mixtape.
Speaker 9 (03:17):
Before Big Poppy, there was another large man holding it
down and being town, a big brother who could send
any mistake into the Boston night sky.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
And was able to put up numbers for average as well.
Speaker 9 (03:27):
We're talking about Moe Vaughn, who spent his twelve year
career primarily with the Red Sox before stints with the
Van Anaheim Angels and the New York Mets. Vaughan fit
the bill for a Boston superstar two of tea. He
was raised in New England, growing up a Connecticut before
heading to Seaton Hall in New Jersey to play his
college ball. The Pirates had an amazing lineup with Moe,
future Hall of Famer Craig Bigio and two players who
(03:49):
would also end up his teammates in Boston, John Vallentin
and Kevin Morton. In three seasons, big Most set the
school record for home runs in a season and a
career with twenty eight and fifty seven, respectively, as well
as the Seaton Haul RBI record.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
With two hundred and eighteen.
Speaker 9 (04:04):
He pummeled pitches in the cape Cod League each summer,
earning a place in the inaugural class of the cape
Cod Baseball League Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
While still in school, his.
Speaker 9 (04:11):
Brothers in the Omega PSI five fraternity gave him the
name hit Dog, and it would follow him for the
rest of his career. Joining the Socks in nineteen ninety one,
More really hit his stride during the ninety three season,
when he had twenty nine home runs and drove in
one hundred and one After the strike sword in ninety
four season, Vaughn picked up right where.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
He left off.
Speaker 9 (04:29):
In nineteen ninety five, in one of the closest votes
in recent memory, he edged out Cleveland's Albert Bell for
the al MVP Award after posting a three hundred average
with thirty nine homers, one hundred and twenty six RBI
and ninety eight runs scored as Boston won the Eastern
Division title. In ninety ninety six, he was even better,
playing one hundred and sixty one games, batting three twenty
six with a career best forty four home runs, one
(04:52):
hundred and forty three rbi, two hundred and seven hits.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
And one hundred and eighteen run scored.
Speaker 9 (04:57):
From nineteen ninety six to ninety eight, Mo had the
fourth most hits in the majors, collecting five hundred and
seventy eight. He hit one hundred and nineteen homers, tenth
best in all of baseball. His three hundred and fifty
four RBI were the twelfth most, and he was eleventh
in run scored with three hundred and sixteen. Among first basemen,
only Mark McGuire and Andres Galarraga had more dingers. But
(05:19):
while Mo was dominating on the field, he wasn't feeling
love in Boston. As one of the few black players
on the roster, he stayed time and time again, and
he just didn't feel.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Wanted by the team.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
So following that ninety eight season, Movan signed with the
Angels for six years and eighty million dollars, the biggest
contract in baseball at the time. Unfortunately, his career in
KLi got off to a bad start and never really recovered.
He sprained his angle during his first game with the
Halos and was plagued by injuries over his three seasons
at Anaheim, but he still managed to hit thirty homers
and driving triple digits in both ninety nine and two thousand,
(05:50):
but he got moved to New York.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Prior to the two thousand and two season.
Speaker 9 (05:53):
In his lone full season with the Mets, he hit
twenty six more home runs and drove in seventy two
runs for the fifth place Mets. The next season, knee
problems and his weight made it too painful for him
to keep playing, and Movaon was gone, But the numbers aren't.
He retired with the career two ninety three average with
more than one thousand runs batted end He hit over
three hundred and five consecutive seasons and was respectable with
(06:13):
the glove too, as evidenced by his nine eighty eight
fielding percentage.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Moe was also one of the final players to.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
Get to wear number forty two in the major leagues
following its retirement to Hunter Jackie Robinson. Today mo Vaughn
is rehabilitating housing units throughout the New York metro area
and providing affordable living for families. His company has plans
to make further investments in urban areas around the country,
including back in Boston.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Even in retirement, mo Vaughn is still coming through. That's
my time. I'm David Grubb and now back to the mix.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Going Deep with Og Margray.
Speaker 10 (06:53):
HBCUs sports are now getting their shine, So could the
next generation of MLB Bros Sensations beat on blackyards around
the country these days. It's the mlbog Mark Gray and
I'm going Deep for the mixtape. Some of the greatest
Black Knights in the history of the game have tied
to America's HBCUs. For example, Saint Louis Cardinal's Hall of
(07:14):
Famer Lou Brock, a multiple World champion and one time
Stolen Based leader, is a graduate of Southern University. Joe Black,
the nineteen fifty two Rookie of the Year with the
Brooklyn Dodgers, is a graduate of Moregon State. The nineteen
sixty nine World Series MVP Don Clinton and from the
Amazing New York Mets is I'm Moore house Man and
(07:36):
houses for potentially the greatest outfield ever considered. Vince Coleman,
Marquise Grissom, and Andre Dawson all played at Florida A
and M. And that's just scratching the surface. The Black
College World Series has played last week in Montgomery, Alabama,
featuring HBCU players from NAIA and NCAA Division Two schools,
(07:58):
and it attracted attention from Major League Baseball teams. This
is one of the new events is putting HBCU college
baseball programs on plass with full support from Major League Baseball,
is one of its several efforts to give black college
players a showcase. If Jonson just can't see stars who
look like them, how they expect to bring them back.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
To the game.
Speaker 10 (08:21):
The first HBCU Swingman Classic is going to feature fifty
HBCU players in July during the All Star Week in Seattle,
with Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Junior as the caalyst.
But here's a novel concept. Imagine what happens if the
league was truly committed to reintegrating black players into the
game and spend ten percent of what their spending now
(08:43):
in Caribbean nations at those baseball academies and reinvest in
entry baseball programs at HBCUs and how that could benefit
the game. You create the next generation of season ticket holders,
app downloaders, etc. And loyal fans. It's because they have
a bunch of players that can relate to There's something
unsettling about the dwindling numbers of Black American baseball players
(09:08):
as the game continues to import most of its new
generation of stars from the Dominican Republic and Asian But
Black American baseball still has value. So the investment of
a little more money into HBCU programs seems to make
a lot of sense. I'm the MLB og Mark Gray
going Deep for the mixtape.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Going Deep with og Mark Ray. It's the Black As Report,
the Black As Report. It's the Black As Report, the
Black As Report.
Speaker 11 (09:46):
What's up everybody?
Speaker 12 (09:47):
This is justin patrully with the Black Age Report on
the MLB Bro Show podcast mixtape. Here's where you get
the latest on the melanated mal Marauders who are showing
with precision and popping out all across the big leagues.
So let's check the After having a rough stretch, Blackjack
Clarty has bounced back. He pitched on May fifteenth against
the Brewers, going seven innings, allowing three hits, no runs,
(10:09):
and striking out ten batters. This is his second game
of the season not giving up any runs, the first
being his very first start of the year, where he
pitched five no hit innings. He is now three and
four on the year with five point two four ra
Josiah Gray was once against saw May sixteenth against the Marlins,
as he pitched seven innings, allowing seven hits and one
earned rove. He picked up a no decision, but has
(10:31):
continued to lower his ERA now to two point seven
to three. Marcus Stroman had his first Cup day on
the mound this season, taking on the Twins on Mother's Day.
The stro Show only won two and two thirds innings,
giving up seven hits and six runs. His ERA went
up almost a full point due to this start, from
two point two eight to three point two four. He
looks to get back on track with his next outing
(10:53):
beam May nineteenth against the Phillies. The Rays rotation just
got stronger as they announced May seventeenth that the team
was calling back out to tas Bradley Wow and that
he would most likely be a permanent placement in their rotation.
Bradley has started three games in his major league career,
going three and oh with a three point five to
two er. That's the black Age report for this week.
(11:16):
This is JP therook now back.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
To the mix.
Speaker 13 (11:24):
Jasiah Gray Washington Nationals young pitcher has shown an extraordinary
model growth in this game. Being his third year in
the majors, He's off to a great start with the
only five homers in his fifty two innings he's pitched
up to this point. Last season, gave up thirty eight
homers in one hundred and fifty innings he's played.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
He's had a strong statement of a game and a win.
Speaker 13 (11:42):
Versus Mariners Tuesday night, great through seven innings and tally
up five strikeouts in one earned run. He's only three
and five with forty five strikeouts with an average whip
but one thirty five. He's starting to develop a variety
of pitches in his toolbox. The Detroit Tigers are heading
out to DC this week. He'll be a great evaluation
for Gray, as you'll see if he's at the point
(12:03):
of his career, if he's going to be a threat.
Speaker 11 (12:04):
Every time he's called the pitch. The tickets are thirteen dollars.
Speaker 13 (12:08):
If you're anywhere near the nation's capitol, go see first
hand of Jesiah Great taking on the kill bad. He'll
be a great family time with the amazing venue and
a fun event to at ten.
Speaker 11 (12:18):
We'll be serving it up all season long right here on.
Speaker 13 (12:21):
MLB Bro's podcast, The Mixed Sa Stay Hungry, I'm divide cooking.
Speaker 3 (12:35):

a heart attack and rejects Wooden whacking Mookiees back in action.
See him start his own show on that thirty thirty
sack shit never lack in the broken back, the broken back,
the story stadiums like we burning a boy would for
Grammy keen and turn the boys, but we beating.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
On boys without a burning The boy got to husident.
You know we're gonna burn.
Speaker 14 (13:05):
Your boy, boy, since your brother's out here playing like
Barry Bard singing.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Ms. Coleman was off to the racist like Golden rud Shreeba.
They try to blows with the bros.
Speaker 14 (13:14):
And now they d o Wayne in the streets of
San Joe pay They call me will he made not

way we work that cave. That recall got a boss
old let them play my fourth pitch. Also, no pay,
no play or lessons because it is rising in. Don't
stress me aside of here riding your sin. I'm twitching.
I'm looking at to a pitcher. I'm nice with the
(13:35):
steals like pat Ma Olfox with the switcher. My hands
showed up blisters to boy boy. The brozer Back blows
her back on.
Speaker 4 (13:43):

Baseball is a game of stats. I'm Sebastianball and I'm
the numbers man.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Some well known like the number Man.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Marcus Simon came into the season with a lot to
prove after receiving a one hundred and seventy five million
dollar free agent contract coming off of a record breaking
season in Toronto in which he hit forty five homers.
Despite going twenty twenty, Simeon's first season in Texas was
not up to his standard, but Simeon's returned to his
brilliant best in twenty twenty three. Simeon was a great
(14:59):
defender last season, posting eight outs above average despite his
inconsistent play production. His one oh seven weightter runs created
plus last season is not bad by any.
Speaker 11 (15:09):
Stretch of the imagination.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
However, it is a regression from his one to thirty
one weightter runs created plus in twenty twenty one. Twenty
twenty three has been a snap back to reality, as
Simeon has a weighted runs created plus of one point
thirty nine as of May sixteen. This hitting residence has
not come at the expensive defense, as his four outs
of of average is the highest of all second basemen
(15:31):
this season, and he has reached half of his twenty
twenty two.
Speaker 11 (15:34):
Total in just under a third of the innings played.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Simeon also has a base running runs above average of
two point zero, which combines to create a fangrafts war
total of two point two, which is the joint best
in all of Baseball. Simeon has reminded everyone what he
is capable of and why he deserves the contracts that
the Rangers offered him before the twenty twenty two season,
and if he can continue his current form, he will
(15:59):
be a strong content for American League MVP. Wow, the
numbers will tell and that's it. Numbers never lie. So
until the next episode. This is Sebastian Ball, the numbers Man,
bringing you the metrics on the MLB Bros.
Speaker 11 (16:13):
Because send to speak some well known't like the number man.
Speaker 9 (16:16):
He's the numbers Man, mlbbro dot COM's analytical whiz, Sebastian Ball.

He had to tell you about well drama.
Speaker 11 (16:30):
What's up everybody? This is young Krit and this is mine.
Speaker 15 (16:33):
We can count down to the biggest plays made by
MLB bros over the past seven days. This week, coming
in at number five, we have net sud just like
a great who got himself solid start last week, going
seven innings along with two rounds on five.
Speaker 11 (16:46):
Hits and striking out three batters.
Speaker 15 (16:48):
It seems like he's really turned the corner and that's
scary for his future opponents. Up next at number four. Yeah,
bro down Smith, who's quably helping him up in next year.
For the Nets, he had the four out of six
games and that included two multi hit games. Sitting in
a three spot. You got Dodger start Mooie Betts, who's
at it again. Last week he had three home runs,
(17:09):
including a two run shot on Mother's Day, who jumps
off the Dodgers to a Ford death in victory over
the Padress And number two this week All rise as
court is in session.
Speaker 11 (17:20):
Aaron Jorges found his groove on Saturday.
Speaker 15 (17:23):
He had two home runs and collect the four RBIs
and a nine to eight victory over the Tampa Bay Race.
Finally number one on Chris gon Down. You know we've
got to go off for the subject Mumins, who became
the seventh player in o's history to hit for the cycle.
He kept it off for the three run shot at
the bottom of the eight to give it ten to
the victory. And that's it until next time. I'm Young

Speaker 9 (04:57):
From nineteen ninety six to ninety eight, Mo had the
fourth most hits in the majors, collecting five hundred and
seventy eight. He hit one hundred and nineteen homers, tenth
best in all of baseball. His three hundred and fifty
four RBI were the twelfth most, and he was eleventh
in run scored with three hundred and sixteen. Among first basemen,
only Mark McGuire and Andres Galarraga had more dingers. But
(05:19):
while Mo was dominating on the field, he wasn't feeling
love in Boston. As one of the few black players
on the roster, he stayed time and time again, and
he just didn't feel.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Wanted by the team.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
So following that ninety eight season, Movan signed with the
Angels for six years and eighty million dollars, the biggest
contract in baseball at the time. Unfortunately, his career in
KLi got off to a bad start and never really recovered.
He sprained his angle during his first game with the
Halos and was plagued by injuries over his three seasons
at Anaheim, but he still managed to hit thirty homers
and driving triple digits in both ninety nine and two thousand,
(05:50):
but he got moved to New York.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Prior to the two thousand and two season.
Speaker 9 (05:53):
In his lone full season with the Mets, he hit
twenty six more home runs and drove in seventy two
runs for the fifth place Mets. The next season, knee
problems and his weight made it too painful for him
to keep playing, and Movaon was gone, But the numbers aren't.
He retired with the career two ninety three average with
more than one thousand runs batted end He hit over
three hundred and five consecutive seasons and was respectable with
(06:13):
the glove too, as evidenced by his nine eighty eight
fielding percentage.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Moe was also one of the final players to.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
Get to wear number forty two in the major leagues
following its retirement to Hunter Jackie Robinson. Today mo Vaughn
is rehabilitating housing units throughout the New York metro area
and providing affordable living for families. His company has plans
to make further investments in urban areas around the country,
including back in Boston.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Even in retirement, mo Vaughn is still coming through. That's
my time. I'm David Grubb and now back to the mix.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Going Deep with Og Margray.
Speaker 10 (06:53):
HBCUs sports are now getting their shine, So could the
next generation of MLB Bros Sensations beat on blackyards around
the country these days. It's the mlbog Mark Gray and
I'm going Deep for the mixtape. Some of the greatest
Black Knights in the history of the game have tied
to America's HBCUs. For example, Saint Louis Cardinal's Hall of
(07:14):
Famer Lou Brock, a multiple World champion and one time
Stolen Based leader, is a graduate of Southern University. Joe Black,
the nineteen fifty two Rookie of the Year with the
Brooklyn Dodgers, is a graduate of Moregon State. The nineteen
sixty nine World Series MVP Don Clinton and from the
Amazing New York Mets is I'm Moore house Man and
(07:36):
houses for potentially the greatest outfield ever considered. Vince Coleman,
Marquise Grissom, and Andre Dawson all played at Florida A
and M. And that's just scratching the surface. The Black
College World Series has played last week in Montgomery, Alabama,
featuring HBCU players from NAIA and NCAA Division Two schools,
(07:58):
and it attracted attention from Major League Baseball teams. This
is one of the new events is putting HBCU college
baseball programs on plass with full support from Major League Baseball,
is one of its several efforts to give black college
players a showcase. If Jonson just can't see stars who
look like them, how they expect to bring them back.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
To the game.
Speaker 10 (08:21):
The first HBCU Swingman Classic is going to feature fifty
HBCU players in July during the All Star Week in Seattle,
with Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Junior as the caalyst.
But here's a novel concept. Imagine what happens if the
league was truly committed to reintegrating black players into the
game and spend ten percent of what their spending now
(08:43):
in Caribbean nations at those baseball academies and reinvest in
entry baseball programs at HBCUs and how that could benefit
the game. You create the next generation of season ticket holders,
app downloaders, etc. And loyal fans. It's because they have
a bunch of players that can relate to There's something
unsettling about the dwindling numbers of Black American baseball players
(09:08):
as the game continues to import most of its new
generation of stars from the Dominican Republic and Asian But
Black American baseball still has value. So the investment of
a little more money into HBCU programs seems to make
a lot of sense. I'm the MLB og Mark Gray
going Deep for the mixtape.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Going Deep with og Mark Ray. It's the Black As Report,
the Black As Report. It's the Black As Report, the
Black As Report.
Speaker 11 (09:46):
What's up everybody?
Speaker 12 (09:47):
This is justin patrully with the Black Age Report on
the MLB Bro Show podcast mixtape. Here's where you get
the latest on the melanated mal Marauders who are showing
with precision and popping out all across the big leagues.
So let's check the After having a rough stretch, Blackjack
Clarty has bounced back. He pitched on May fifteenth against
the Brewers, going seven innings, allowing three hits, no runs,
(10:09):
and striking out ten batters. This is his second game
of the season not giving up any runs, the first
being his very first start of the year, where he
pitched five no hit innings. He is now three and
four on the year with five point two four ra
Josiah Gray was once against saw May sixteenth against the Marlins,
as he pitched seven innings, allowing seven hits and one
earned rove. He picked up a no decision, but has
(10:31):
continued to lower his ERA now to two point seven
to three. Marcus Stroman had his first Cup day on
the mound this season, taking on the Twins on Mother's Day.
The stro Show only won two and two thirds innings,
giving up seven hits and six runs. His ERA went
up almost a full point due to this start, from
two point two eight to three point two four. He
looks to get back on track with his next outing
(10:53):
beam May nineteenth against the Phillies. The Rays rotation just
got stronger as they announced May seventeenth that the team
was calling back out to tas Bradley Wow and that
he would most likely be a permanent placement in their rotation.
Bradley has started three games in his major league career,
going three and oh with a three point five to
two er. That's the black Age report for this week.
(11:16):
This is JP therook now back.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
To the mix.
Speaker 13 (11:24):
Jasiah Gray Washington Nationals young pitcher has shown an extraordinary
model growth in this game. Being his third year in
the majors, He's off to a great start with the
only five homers in his fifty two innings he's pitched
up to this point. Last season, gave up thirty eight
homers in one hundred and fifty innings he's played.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
He's had a strong statement of a game and a win.
Speaker 13 (11:42):
Versus Mariners Tuesday night, great through seven innings and tally
up five strikeouts in one earned run. He's only three
and five with forty five strikeouts with an average whip
but one thirty five. He's starting to develop a variety
of pitches in his toolbox. The Detroit Tigers are heading
out to DC this week. He'll be a great evaluation
for Gray, as you'll see if he's at the point
(12:03):
of his career, if he's going to be a threat.
Speaker 11 (12:04):
Every time he's called the pitch. The tickets are thirteen dollars.
Speaker 13 (12:08):
If you're anywhere near the nation's capitol, go see first
hand of Jesiah Great taking on the kill bad. He'll
be a great family time with the amazing venue and
a fun event to at ten.
Speaker 11 (12:18):
We'll be serving it up all season long right here on.
Speaker 13 (12:21):

Baseball is a game of stats. I'm Sebastianball and I'm
the numbers man.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Some well known like the number Man.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Marcus Simon came into the season with a lot to
prove after receiving a one hundred and seventy five million
dollar free agent contract coming off of a record breaking
season in Toronto in which he hit forty five homers.
Despite going twenty twenty, Simeon's first season in Texas was
not up to his standard, but Simeon's returned to his
brilliant best in twenty twenty three. Simeon was a great
(14:59):
defender last season, posting eight outs above average despite his
inconsistent play production. His one oh seven weightter runs created
plus last season is not bad by any.
Speaker 11 (15:09):
Stretch of the imagination.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
However, it is a regression from his one to thirty
one weightter runs created plus in twenty twenty one. Twenty
twenty three has been a snap back to reality, as
Simeon has a weighted runs created plus of one point
thirty nine as of May sixteen. This hitting residence has
not come at the expensive defense, as his four outs
of of average is the highest of all second basemen
(15:31):
this season, and he has reached half of his twenty
twenty two.
Speaker 11 (15:34):
Total in just under a third of the innings played.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Simeon also has a base running runs above average of
two point zero, which combines to create a fangrafts war
total of two point two, which is the joint best
in all of Baseball. Simeon has reminded everyone what he
is capable of and why he deserves the contracts that
the Rangers offered him before the twenty twenty two season,
and if he can continue his current form, he will
(15:59):
be a strong content for American League MVP. Wow, the
numbers will tell and that's it. Numbers never lie. So
until the next episode. This is Sebastian Ball, the numbers Man,
bringing you the metrics on the MLB Bros.
Speaker 11 (16:13):
Because send to speak some well known't like the number man.
Speaker 9 (16:16):

Speaker 11 (16:30):
What's up everybody? This is young Krit and this is mine.
Speaker 15 (16:33):
We can count down to the biggest plays made by
MLB bros over the past seven days. This week, coming
in at number five, we have net sud just like
a great who got himself solid start last week, going
seven innings along with two rounds on five.
Speaker 11 (16:46):
Hits and striking out three batters.
Speaker 15 (16:48):
It seems like he's really turned the corner and that's
scary for his future opponents. Up next at number four. Yeah,
bro down Smith, who's quably helping him up in next year.
For the Nets, he had the four out of six
games and that included two multi hit games. Sitting in
a three spot. You got Dodger start Mooie Betts, who's
at it again. Last week he had three home runs,
(17:09):
including a two run shot on Mother's Day, who jumps
off the Dodgers to a Ford death in victory over
the Padress And number two this week All rise as
court is in session.
Speaker 11 (17:20):
Aaron Jorges found his groove on Saturday.
Speaker 15 (17:23):
He had two home runs and collect the four RBIs
and a nine to eight victory over the Tampa Bay Race.
Finally number one on Chris gon Down. You know we've
got to go off for the subject Mumins, who became
the seventh player in o's history to hit for the cycle.
He kept it off for the three run shot at
the bottom of the eight to give it ten to
the victory. And that's it until next time. I'm Young
