Speaker 1 (00:01):
On July twenty seventh, Millienated mal Marauders C C. Sabathia
will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, becoming
the third black starter to be inducted, following Bullet Bob
Gibson and Fergie Jenkins.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Lee Smith, a closer, is also in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
He dominated in the eighties and early nineties, making it
four black pitchers.

Speaker 2 (00:22):

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Along with CC are two players who should have been
inducted by the BBWAA but had to wait, and unfortunately
neither could hold on long enough to be present for
the ceremony that has eluded them along the way for
way too long. But Dave Parker was a bro Bauman
legend who in his prime was a supreme five to

(00:45):
two athlete. Parker was a seventh time All Star in
the nineteen seventy eight National League MVP as a member
of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
AX Philly slugger Dick Allen never gained.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Much trash in his fifteen years on the Baseball Writers
Association of America's ballot during the nineteen eighties or nineties,
stemming from the narrative that he was too brash on
the field and in the clubhouse sound for a million bros.
But much of that was in response to the racism
he was dealing with throughout his career that spanned from

(01:16):
nineteen sixty three to nineteen seventy seven. Anyway, over fifteen
year career, Allen slash two ninety two to three seventy
eight club five point thirty four, three hundred and fifty
one home runs on one hundred nineteen rbi and a
point nine point two ops and one fifty six ops.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Plus. The Hall of Famer passed in twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
So as we deal with the six percent black and
brown Major League is currently in baseball, we must remember

more to come, and then showing the historical impact that
Brows have always had on the game and always will.

Final push for the postseason. What's so awesome about baseball.
It's a long season. It's important to have talent in
the building again right at the hot town. It's fun
to see the whole playoffs could.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
Be shaken up.

Speaker 7 (04:51):
That's the one thing you noticed about this season if
you're looking at the top season American League, the Blue
Jays and Detroit Tigers and Houston Astros. The Tigers hitting
the cold streak, going one to nine in the last
seen games, and the Houston Astros been a fourth World
Series in the last decade. This weekend, though, we have
the number one, number two team in the American League,

(05:12):
the Detroit Tigers versus Toronto Blue Jays. We're gonna figure
out if you are a contender or a pretender.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
Blue Jays, they've been playing very well lately.

Speaker 7 (05:21):
George Springer outfield has been playing phenomenal last seven games
to hits seven runs to RBI, one home run with
a four to thirty five back matach.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
But they're playing against the Tigers. So the Tigers got
a lot to prove to keep that number one seed.
If you lose it, you lose.

Speaker 7 (05:37):
A whole field advantage for playoffs. Jack Flerity scheduled the
pitch on Sunday. It's gonna be a tough task playing
against that Toronto.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Blue Jays squad.

Speaker 7 (05:44):
A good game for Flerty means a ton of confidence
for that team and shows that they can flip a
switch and play championship level baseball whenever they want to.
As we'll be serving it up all season long right here.

Speaker 9 (09:14):
This is Brett Quintine with Brett's reps for MLB Bro
Show podcast The Mixtape. As you guys know, there's a
lot of bros out there who have made some serious.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Contributions to the game.

Speaker 9 (09:25):
I'm old school, so I like to mention the old
school bros as often as I can. There's a few
brothers out there that I'm gonna talk about who made
some noise in the Midwest over the next few weeks.
The first one I want to talk about CC No,
not Sabbathia, and yes, Mad props for him going into
the Hall of Fame this weekend. But I'm talking about
a seventeen year vet, a first baseman, a guy who's

(09:49):
also a manager. Cecil Cooper, five time All Star, came
up with the Boston Red Sox and he was there
for six seasons. But he did his damage as m
Milwaukee Brewer. He drove in one hundred runs or more
four times. He also had ninety nine one season as well.
From nineteen seventy seven through nineteen eighty three. He hit

(10:11):
over three hundred in all seven of those seasons. Do
you realize he hit three point fifty two in nineteen eighty.
You know it's really special. You've heard us talk about
the Silver Slugger Award. He won the first three awards ever,
nineteen eighty, eighty one, and eighty two. It was all
about him when the award was first introduced. You mix

(10:32):
that in with a couple of gold gloves at first base,
runs batted in, not once, but twice. You got yourself
a player after seventeen years. How do you follow that up?
He stayed in the game a while and in two
thousand and seven became the first black manager in Houston
Astro's history. He never got them to the playoffs, but
over the course of three seasons he had a winning

(10:54):
record one hundred and seventy one up and one hundred
and seventy down.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
That's better than a lot of other skippers out there.

Speaker 9 (11:01):
Mister Cooper, you did your thing. In addition to having
a great on field presence, you're a Roberto Comente Award winner,
and you're also on the Milwaukee Brewers Wall of Honor
lifetime two ninety eight hitter and almost twenty two hundred hits.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Thanks for the memories.

Speaker 10 (11:18):
MLB bro Marcus Simeon has continued his elite defensive form
from twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four onto his
twenty twenty five season, but his overall production is still
only up from here, as his luck is waiting to turn.
In twenty twenty three, Marcus Simeon nush thirteen outs above
average at second base, which is a spectacular defensive season

(11:41):
worthy of Gold Club contention. But in twenty twenty four,
he somehow managed to one up himself. Nineteen outs above
average put him as the overall defensive leader at second
base and the second best defender in all of baseball.
Now in twenty twenty five, he isn't reaching quite the
same heights of his previous two seasons, however, for his
six outs of of average still makes him the second

(12:02):
most productive defensive player among second basement. This defensive production,
alongside his two point one base running run value above average,
combined for one point eight fangrass wins above replacement. But
when you consider his unlucky time at the plate this season,
his war could easily jump up. His ninety one weight

(12:23):
runs creative plus translates to a below average hitting season. However,
his expected weight on base average is nearly thirty points
higher than his actual weighted on base average, so in
his quality of contact has been much better than his
results have shown. All it takes is a bit of
luck on his side for his twenty twenty five to
turn to a special season for the thirty four year old.

(12:47):
The Texas Rangers find themselves in a tight al wack
car race, and a vintage second half from Marcus Simon
could be the final push they need for October baseball.

This is Young Krek and this is mine weeks.

Speaker 8 (15:00):
He counted out all the biggest plays mb bros over
the past seven days this week coming get at number five.
Atlanta Braves rookie catcher Drake Balls went off on the Monday,
collecting three hits, including two doubles for driving in six
and his team's nine to five win over the Sam
Francisco Giants, up next to number four. New York Yankees'
offerer Trent Grisham came up clutch for a squad on Saturdays,

(15:20):
hitting a go ahead grand Slam at the top of
the ninth and put the x L twelve eighth.

Speaker 5 (15:24):
They were going to defeat the Braves twelve to nine.
Sitting in the three spot.

Speaker 8 (15:28):
We've got Minnesota Twins third basement Rous Lewis, who started
to heat up a bit. On Sunday he hit two
bro bombs and his team's seven to one victory of
the Colorado Rockies. And at number two this week Timpa
bay Ray's rookie Chandler Simpson has been great for a
squad since being recalled up at the end of June.
He had a thirteen gay Peter Street staped on Sunday,
but during that stretch Simpsons recorded and told him eighteen
hits with three doubles and for stolen basins. Finally number one,

(15:51):
our Chris Countdown. Washington Nationals veteran bro Josh Bell has
started to perk up a bit since the All Star break.
He went deep in back to back games in the
National Series. Oh this is Nattie rich Hell doubled off
the right field wall back in the first inning the
last thirteen games, batting three sixty four.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
Oh guys on the deep right.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
This Bell is crushed.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
Watch it fly into the second deck.

Speaker 8 (16:15):
Josh Bell number twelve on the season, staying red Hans
a double and a homer for JB tonight and it's
five to nothing.

Speaker 10 (16:23):
There's a sweeper kind of pops out there trying to
go in off the plate, trying to get the swing
over at top, and he knew it.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
That's it until next week.

Speaker 8 (16:31):
I'm young k and this is me Chrits calmed down
on the MV bro Show Podcast mixtape.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
Now back to the mis.

Speaker 10 (16:36):
What's up everybody?

Speaker 11 (16:37):
This is justin Patrullou with the Black a support on
the MLB Bro Show Podcast Mixtape. Here's where you get
the latest on the melanated Mountain Marauders who are shoven
with precision and popping out all across the big leagues.
So let's check the report. With the Yankees needing better
starting pitching, Marcus Stroman stepped up big time. The straw
Show pitched on July twentieth against the Braves in Atlanta

(16:57):
and had his best start of the season, allowed only
one run on six innings pitch and pick up his
second win of the year. The Yankees have been decimated
with injuries to the starting pitching all season, so Strowman
can continue to pitch like this. He'll give manager Aaron
Boom and the fans of bread the fresh air. Stroman
will make his second start post all star Break on
July twenty sixth, the second of a three game series

(17:18):
between their inter league rivals to the Philadelphia Phillies. Hunter
Green made a rehab start on July twenty third for
the Arizona Complex League Reds, pitching in total of twenty
eight pitches, with sixteen of them being strikes, and striking
out four batters. Green was supposed to make a rehab
outing a few weeks ago, but was scratched since he
was still feeling pain and is growing. The team will

(17:38):
try to make sure Green feels fine from this outing,
and if he does, his next rehab start will most
likely be with the team's Triple A affiliate in Louisville.
The Rays of Auction todge Bradley to Triple A Durham
after his rough start on July twenty third, where he
gave up four runs on one in two thirds innings pitched.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
The move is a bit.

Speaker 11 (17:58):
Surprising, as before start, Bradley had pitched very strongly in
his previous two outings, giving up only one run on
five hits in twelve combined innings pitched. It has been
reported that the race have been opened to potentially trading
the twenty four year old righty, as the trade dead
line is coming up fast. If he is not traded,
he has to spend at least fifteen days in triple

(18:20):
A before being called back up unless he's needed to
replace someone on the I L.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
That's the black Age report for this week.

Speaker 11 (18:27):
This is JP the rook.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Now back to the.

Speaker 12 (18:30):
Coming from my seat with pots my weakness spots when
my enemies reading the dog that read the horse pollution aloud,
will see the stars and then like wick, if I'm
beneath the host, I'm hard, a hand bella sminder, miserlative,
having the wick up meditate of the strength of the
senative better disease like a.

Speaker 13 (18:46):
Smoke, and seeing the streets white boy that he wilt
the fack I neber perceived. Set it be another as
prayers like hey, remember some pounds on one to shake a.

Speaker 5 (18:53):
Stick of buck like.

Speaker 13 (18:57):
Said he was against the pop gun, so now they
praised him. But there's a reason for everything. You can
say ten months. Can't allocate time rather to the great bond,
drink liquor quickly hate on the family member. I tell
stories to struggle and trial, but you will lie. The
nods collide it with minds upond before your colored line
government team up with the other side, while crist his
only staying with your mind. Try to look on the

(19:18):
bright side. They say, never go to the lights. But
if this is life, there will death make it white.
Wafi and man he bes the same color as you can't.
The only reason that ever win the dies for them.
Maybe that's why the sells are packed over capacity and
rappers telling stories that they being slash racks, that they
captured begin the cellables of the streets. As I opened
my mind, that kept the big thoughts to the beach stressfully.

(19:38):
As I take another step into tomorrow, hoping to they
will get to carry your sorrow's.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Look at CJ.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Abrams, he's catching on that Brookie slack now as Dad
it's blazed.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
He wanted to bring the city back. That's how we
do it. When CJ.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Broctice fitted Captain Nats a rereap in DC, it's time
to bring the city back.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Sixty three long and lanky with a blister back.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
The Bend of Bros. Got the Nats myn elite system
back to one, so tho trade. Mike Grizzo wanted to
fade you, not out far in the GM will been
nice for days.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
That's the letter ball in the hole. Yet he getting
that spinning on his back.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Make the throw yo.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
He off of that.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Another Georgia boy employed to recon destroy the MLB bro scene.
So high lights your boy average creeping up Homer's double digits.
The Nats are in the cut with the tunnel vision,
and as the team grows, so will Abrams game. This
ain't that team flow. Aprams already in the game, and

(20:49):
you see the progression as he's rising from fame. He's
learning to win walk offs, homers and missiles. This ain't
the next and Abrams. YOI don't double dripple. He hit
doubles and triples. The effect this ripple number five's initially
CJ April. He's catching off that rookie slack. Now, what's
baddist placing? He wants to bring the city back.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
How we do it?

Speaker 6 (21:12):
When c J.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Bactis l captain, that's of Repp in DC. It's time
to bring the citty back.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Look at DJ.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Aprils, he's catching off that rookie slack.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Now with badus placing, you want to bring the city
That's that's how we deal with When c J.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Boctus fit the captain that's of Reping DC. It's time
to bring the city. It's the right.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
That concludes another episode of the MLB Bro Show podcast
mixtaper this week. Remember we will gladly pay you one
two c from an NLB.
