Kids with Davy Grub on mb bros Podcast.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
What's up, Everybody, I'm David Grubbing. It's time for another
edition of Classic Hits on the MLB Brochhow Podcast The Mixtape.
Willie Stargel was perhaps the biggest bopper for the Pittsburgh
Pirates during the nightnineteen seventies, arguably the most successful decade
in the franchise's history, and on August first, nineteen seventy,
Stargell had one of the greatest games of his Hall
of Fame career. Place in the Atlanta Bravesn't playing left field,
(01:12):
Stargell hit three doubles in a pair of home runs,
accumulating a franchise record five extra base hits and.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Fourteen total bases. The Pirates would beat the Braves twenty
to ten that day. In his career, he only had
one game that was better. In nineteen sixty eight, he
set a career high with seven RBI in the Pirates
record with fifteen total bases while bashing three home runs
in the thirteen to six win over the Chicago Cubs.
The nineteen seventy season would mark a resurgence for Stargul.
(01:38):
From nineteen seventy through nineteen seventy three, he would average
thirty nine home runs, one hundred and ten RBI, and
eighty eight runs scored while batting two to eighty eight
and making three All Star teams twice as ops topped
one thousand and He finished in the top five in
MVP voting three times as well, and he also helped
push the Pirates of the nineteen seventy one World Series,
(02:00):
where they beat the Baltimore Orioles in seven games. They
repeat that feat in seventy nine, again going the distance
and again beating Baltimore. This time was Stargel at thirty
nine years of age, winning both the regular season and
World Series MVP Awards. He would remain the oldest player
to win the MVP Award until another form of pirates,
Great Barry Bombs took home the award with the San
(02:22):
Francisco Giants after the two thousand and four season. The
man they called Pops had plenty of it until the
very end.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
I'm David Grubb and this has been classic hits. Now
back to the mix, Ryan.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Keep firing, You're really the best bet.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Rash and Hour I'm back at you. Playoff thirty one
to twelve on the year. Our first matchup texts us
to the Bronx New York Yankees Stadium on Friday, where
we have the New York Yankees versus the Toronto Blues.
Jazz Junior making his Yankee home debut should spark the lineup.
I think he is energy, his enthusiasm that he's just
(03:09):
possessed this week Philly and in Boston to start his
Yankee career Friday, Bronzus should be rocking Marcus Stroman on
the bump.
Speaker 8 (03:17):
I think he bounces back.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
He's due for a good game.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Penstripes role at home, Ryan, keep firing.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Our next matchup takes us to Minneapolis, Minnesota, Target Field
on Saturday, where we have the Minnesota Twins versus the
Chicago White Sox. Royce Lewis, Byron Buxton, the rest of
that Twins lineup just too much for the White Sox
late as the role in prevail at home on.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Saturday, Ryan keep firing.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
Our last matchup takes a Seattle, Washington t Mobile Park
on Sunday, where we have the Philadelphia Phillies versus the
Seattle marinerds spros. JP Crawford seems to be heard in
that Mariner's lineup, even with the addition of Randy Rose Arena.
I just think Phillies just too much. Zach Wheeler on
the mound for the Phillies. He should bounce back at
the rough out of against the Yankees this week. Phillis
(04:02):
close out the Northwest trip with the w headed to LA.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
This is your man, Ryan Holt signing off.
Speaker 9 (04:10):
Now back to the mix, Ryan.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Keep firing. You're really the best bet. Way gotta get
around the basins.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Get.
Speaker 10 (04:25):
Man d behind the box, Anny sack batter from spinning
on my hops, rippingo. They planet up and started at

for the city.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
Now stay with me.
Speaker 10 (05:02):
There's only six percent bros that we cover fever richly
I do with so Jackie Roberson can't risky fully the
black aces. There's only fifteen races so though not as
why we don't cover rather races. The NLB trope flow
and started in the basementship the black Man in Machado
Racing and a Porsche Dorodoton.
Speaker 8 (05:20):
Is out in black like Balcos. He's off to the
racist Tim Manners in Miami.
Speaker 10 (05:24):
Magan moves that have a flake ris coment chill song,
Jordan Walker, Mason Win Saint Louis to the dome at
least at the game again. But the green ten can
stock the sticks. We do it for the hell we
do with for the bricks. Sometimes it's shunty. Sometimes the
praise shine's burnda. Ain't nothing gonna stop me. When they
say it's game time. They puff on that poppy and
(05:45):
they said, I'm the main guys playing guys, paying guys.
Leave them on the third baseline restern Nation with Washington.

Speaker 10 (07:52):
When we say with it, it means around the basis,
the skills of patients are dominating the games, waiting minor
league vacations.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
Noblivia's bass, he.
Speaker 10 (08:01):
Caught cases, we stole basis and the smile for faces,
Mike Jordan Hicks when he moved to the starting rotation
and her degree when he started challenging the main men.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
It's all about the ms.
Speaker 10 (08:13):
Marcus Simi and Marcus Stroman, Mookie Betts Roses rolling both exploding.
Jappie Crawford has the madness in the mixed doctor stickings
on the strip Center Stitch on a pitch, my glove
hit him Like the eighties, Alan Wiggins showed Figgins Mi
cal Giffins.
Speaker 8 (08:28):
That's how we live in a future living Kyvin Patters.
Speaker 10 (08:31):
We laying all Thiggins molasses Gobe crashes in calambassis, both

Taylor still making plays. Shout out to Josh Sneller.
Speaker 8 (08:43):
We get a love. They barely get it.
Speaker 10 (08:45):
Back when I'm not pressed as low as bros is
taking at Stannis jop blessed.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
We showed up to the represent the due and it's money.
Speaker 10 (08:53):
Might make catches that say the Chippings Blue Rivers, Adam Jones,
Kevin Mitchell, let your whistle rose, the shots with out
of pistol, Justin Corford, Josh Belt, Dusty Baker, bro smack
swell number when he took an for me, they didn't
support him, so they not supporting the hunter Green Doctor
k Fred McGriff. This is the tongue of a black
(09:14):
man with gift the swing with somewhip in the flesh
snd of myth. Some hated, some appreciated, but I miss
the stated they clearly we underrated the bro flow Boyne.
Speaker 9 (09:27):
Got crazy and.
Speaker 12 (09:30):
Got crazy front come crazy, fro got crazy.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
MLB bro bast fifty g said about four man.
Speaker 10 (09:45):
Blaming brown with white kids. So that that with me
show they sent the club bad for me, you know,
be broke.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
Down with.
Speaker 13 (09:58):
As the man with me Hi find Pine Oh he
knows it.
Speaker 8 (10:17):
The struct of the bed Foot Convention.
Speaker 14 (10:23):
This MLB bro has been an enigma. Swing off tremendous power,
great speed and a fantastic glove, but cannot seem to
be able to consistently put the ball in play. What
do it's your boy, Charles Jonga And this is take
that with mlbbro dot com.
Speaker 15 (10:45):
Take that from mlbbro dot com. Well hit right center.
Speaker 14 (10:56):
Back in his hometown the home run Welcome home reds
lfielder Will Benson has been putting up numbers across the
board except for his batan average.
Speaker 16 (11:07):
It's about focusing on obviously the important like you know,
detail that will show up in the game in terms
of like obviously mechanics, but more such a sta approach
of good pitch to hit things like that.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
It's kind of hard to work on a the cage.
Speaker 15 (11:21):
You need a lot of the game to work on that.
Speaker 16 (11:24):
But I think outside of mechanics, the biggest thing that
I've learned to it's the mindset and just having to
pull out you know, confidence on that you can get
the job done.
Speaker 14 (11:33):
That's what I'm going to be doing the second half
at the time of this recording bits and struggles versus
left these an rities with a one ninety four batan
average and a two seventy seven on base, but gives
credit to his family to keep his mind on track.
Speaker 15 (11:51):
Family.
Speaker 16 (11:52):
Family is a big thing in terms of when you
leave the field, being able to kind of just turn
the page. That's the main thing, is being able to
turn the page and really just understand that's part of
the game and still come out there with the next
day with that same swagger and at compete level at
all time high known like I said, to give you
doctor Well.
Speaker 15 (12:13):
Benson struggles at the plate.
Speaker 14 (12:15):
He has shown versatility in the field, making web gym
after web gym, playing all three outfield positions. Benson is
another tool on an extremely young this and a Red
team and could be another building block for the next
generation of the Big Red Machine.
Speaker 15 (12:37):

Speaker 12 (15:20):
A couple of bros are enjoying their new scenery following
the trade deadline. It's big news because there's a big
power shift for the Juggernauts in the league. Jazz Chisham
was traded to New York Yankees. Jazz is very electric
and brought his best game in New York, a ton
of energy which he may be named AL Player of
the Week. Putting on the clinic in that Yankees uniform.
Tally enough seven hits, six runs, four home runs, eight
(15:42):
RBI with the three sixty eight bad average, Jazz is
looking like the missing piece on the Yankees doing great
on the defensive end at that third base, some incredible
clutch double plays. It just looks fantastic in the Yankees uniform.
Then you have Jack Flairdy being traded to the LA Dodgers.
Flairs back home. Perfect scenario where your hometown team has
put together a collection of stars and being a clutch
(16:04):
pitcher that Flair has shown in Detroit. It pushed the
Dodgers in a great position. Flair has been very productive
this season, posting a seven to five record as a starter,
one hundred and six in his pitch one thirty three
strikeouts with a two ninety five VR. Flair is pitching
like a top ten pitcher in the league. And then
being traded from Detroit, where the bullpen was a staple
of the team, it's very exciting. They have Fan being
(16:25):
traded to the Saint Louis Cardinals. Fan was traded back
to the team that drafted him after he was traded
last season to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Speaker 15 (16:32):
The Diamondbacks had a great push for the playoffs.
Speaker 12 (16:35):
If fam can bring that same energy to the Saint
Louis Cardinals, they'll have a great chance of making the playoffs,
as we will be serving it up all season longs
right here on MLB Bros Podcast The Mixtape on Devon Cooks,
Say Hungary or wings Ovious plus.
Speaker 19 (16:51):
Base Balls, a game of stats, Uns, the Beast, the Ball,
and I'm the numbers Man. Marcus Simion has bounced around
as a hitter over the past few seasons, struggling to
put up back to back elite years at the plate
since his twenty nineteen breakout season. However, he has always
managed to be a major impact player regardless. This season
(17:13):
has displayed a low at the plate for Marcus, and
he is still one of the Rangers' most important players.
A one oh one weighted runs creative plus for Samine
is not bad by any stretch, but for his standards.
Speaker 15 (17:27):
Is not quite what he can produce.
Speaker 19 (17:29):
However, he has still managed two point nine fangrass wins
above replacement.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Why is that while his.
Speaker 19 (17:35):
Spectacular defense is managed to take another lead in twenty
twenty four, his outs above average have steadily grown year
on year for him, from six to twenty twenty one
to eight and twenty twenty two to thirteen and twenty
twenty three, all the way up to a league leading
fifteen outs above average in twenty twenty four. That leads
(17:57):
the league in all positions, not just second base. With
ten defensive runs saved and four point nine ultimates own rating,
Simon has been a defensive dream for the Rangers this season.
While his production at the play has been around league average,
his bat at ball numbers show that he has actually
been hitting the ball quite well, as his three point
(18:18):
thirty one expected winning own base average is nearly the
same as it was in twenty twenty three. Simon is
approaching his fifth straight for win season excluding twenty twenty,
and he continues to prove why he is still the
best second baseman in baseball Sebastian Ball.
Speaker 10 (18:36):
He has the analytics, the stats, and makes it all
match for the Brown and Black MLB BRO Show, Sports
Rap Radio, MLB Bro Podcast, the Mixtape Let's get Your
Numbers Right.
Speaker 20 (18:50):
I got two guys for you whose numbers are so
equal it's not even funny. And two guys both from California,
both right handed out fielders, both were listed at six
two one point eighty in their playing days, and both
are currently in.
Speaker 21 (19:06):
Their mid seventies.
Speaker 20 (19:08):
Some of you young cats may only know Dusty Baker
as a manager, But trust me, he could play.
Speaker 21 (19:14):
He did so for nineteen years.
Speaker 20 (19:17):
You want his equal, look no further than Gary Matthews.
They called him Sarge. He played ball at the highest level.
Speaker 21 (19:25):
For sixteen seasons. Stick around.
Speaker 20 (19:28):
I'm gonna give you some numbers, but know that these
guys are terrific human beings off the field as well.
Speaker 21 (19:35):
Let's get it on.
Speaker 20 (19:37):
Baker made his big league debut in nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 18 (19:40):
For the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 20 (19:41):
While he held his keep for a few seasons, he
actually didn't hit his first home run until nineteen seventy two,
when he collected seventeen of them with a three twenty
one batting average as well. The next year, it was
Matthew's time to shine, as he was the nineteen seventy
three Nationally Rookie of the Year with the San Francisco
(20:02):
Giants twelve homers, fifty eight runs batted in, and an
even three hundred average. Let's not leave out Dusty that
year either, career high ninety nine runs batted in. He
had a twenty four stolen bases. Another good season. Both
guys kept it real the next few years with their
power and steady presence Baker, as you may or may
(20:25):
not know, he was in the on deck circle and
Hank Aaron hit home run number seven fifteen Baker. He
would hit thirty nine homers over his last two years
with Atlanta, and Matthews would average sixteen homers and seventy
five runs batted in in his last three seasons with
the Giants. Nineteen seventy seven was the start of something
(20:46):
for Baker. It was the only season he would hit
thirty homers Dodgers. They not only won the Nation League West,
but they rode Dusty's hot that into the World Series.
That year, he was the National League Championship Series MVP,
first time that award was ever handed out.
Speaker 21 (21:03):
He hit three fifty seven.
Speaker 20 (21:05):
He got the Dodgers back to the Fall Classic in
nineteen seventy eight after hitting four to sixty seven in
that playoff series against the Phillies as well. Matthews, while
he didn't reach the postseason during that time period, he
did garner All Star status before Dusty did by hitting
twenty seven homers in nineteen seventy nine. Dusty, however, as
(21:27):
we begin the nineteen eighties, he was dangerous. A three
year span he was a two time All Star, two
time Silver Slub Award winner, and took home his only
Gold Glove in nineteen eighty one while helping Los Angeles.
Speaker 21 (21:42):
To a World championship.
Speaker 20 (21:44):
Remember this Tate October eighth, nineteen eighty three, Game four
National League Championship Series Dodgers at Phillies. Both Baker and
Matthews would connect for homers in that postseason game, but
it was all all about Matthews, as he would go
on to win the National League Championship Series MVP that
(22:06):
would end Baker's playing postseason career and Matthews he would
help the Cubs to a division title the following season.
Baker he would call it quits in nineteen eighty six,
Matthews in nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 21 (22:19):
Let's take a look at this over a career.
Speaker 20 (22:22):
Thirty more hits total for Gary Matthews again, just thirty
eight homers more for Dusty Baker, thirty five more runs
batted in for Baker, and a lifetime batting average of
two to eighty one for Gary Matthews and two seventy
eight for Dusty Baker.
Speaker 21 (22:42):
Can it be any closer?
Speaker 20 (22:43):
For two guys who played a total of thirty five
seasons in the big leagues.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
Now it's the Black Asia, the Black As. It's the
Black Age Report, the Black Age Report.
Speaker 21 (23:08):
What's up, everybody?
Speaker 22 (23:09):
This is justin Patruley with the Black Ace Report on
the MLB Bro Show podcast mixtape. Here's where you get
the latest on the Melande to Malta marauders who are
shoveling with precision and popping out all across the big leagues.
Speaker 21 (23:19):
So he let's check the report.
Speaker 22 (23:21):
As the second half of the season has begun, Hunter
Green continues to show why he deserved to be an
All Star. He picked up right where he left off
as he went up against the Braves on July twenty
second and pitched seven to four less innings while only
allowing two hits and seven strikeowns. This month has been
Green's best month in his entire career, as he's pitched
a total of twenty innings with only one total run
(23:41):
given up and twenty four batters set down on strikes.
Green's final start of the month is scheduled to be
on July twenty eighth, down in Florida against the race
black Jack Clarity was terrific on July twenty fourth, versus
the Guardians, going six innings and only allowing one run
on three hits. He did not receive a decision as
the team ended up losing two to one late. It's
the first start since April thirtieth where Flarity did not
(24:03):
receive a decision, going seven to four in that stretch.
With the trade deadline less than a week away, the
Trey ruvers have been ramping up and Flarity's name has
been in the mix. The Tigers are a below average team,
and with Clarity playing well and on an unexpiring deal,
he is a very attractive candidate for contending teams to
try and acquire. Jordan Hicks pitched on July twenty third
(24:23):
against the Dodgers, and it did not go well, to
say the least. He only lasted three and two thirds
innings and allowed four runs, earning the loss. Hicks has
not been given the win in a start since May nineteenth,
and after Tuesday's game, Hicks.
Speaker 20 (24:36):
Admitted that he was feeling fatigued.
Speaker 22 (24:38):
With that being said, it looks like Hicks maybe moving
back to the bullpen to give him a bit of
a reset. It has all gone wrong for Nationals ace
Josiah Gray as he has undergone Tommy John surgery to
repair a partially torn UCL in his right elbow. Gray
went on the il back in early April, originally for
a strained muscle in his forearm.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
He had been on the road to recovery.
Speaker 22 (24:58):
For almost three months, and on his potentially last rehab start,
Gray thought some discomfort in his elbow, revealing the damage.
He's now got a major comeback ahead of him as
he's out for the twenty twenty four season and most
of twenty twenty five. That's the black A support for
this week it is JP Derook.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Now back to the mix.
Speaker 23 (25:18):
Now back to the mix Bro Show podcast the mix Tape,
we bring you the best in black and brow the meats.

Speaker 15 (28:40):
For a team that is supposedly going nowhere until after
the season.
Speaker 24 (28:44):
The Oldland Age Lawrence Butler is fast becoming that dude
in their final year playing in the Bay Area.
Speaker 8 (28:52):
You know, I mean it's just.
Speaker 25 (28:53):
All outside noise. You know that's in the clubhouse. Let
us just go out here and trying to win games.
You know, that's all we can control. So you know,
if people say they want to say, you know, we
just let all the noise be the noise, and we
just control who we can.
Speaker 24 (29:04):
Butler figures to become a spectacular player in the show
one day, but now he's begin to put the league
on notice.
Speaker 15 (29:10):
He's become a nightly Sports Center.
Speaker 24 (29:12):
Web Gym, and it seems like for the last month
they've been running it back for extra highlights on MLB Network.
Speaker 25 (29:21):
Yeah, you know the show you're playing against, you know,
some of the greatest athletes in the world, you know,
especially in this game.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
So you know, you kind of just got to take that,
you know, take that as you know, just like I'm.
Speaker 18 (29:32):
Not gonna go out here, you know, get a hit
every time. You know, man, I am facing the best
of the best.
Speaker 25 (29:36):
So you know, you just kind of got to try
to deal with failure, you know, and when you're high,
keep your highs, your highs, your loans, you lows, just
try to stand between.
Speaker 24 (29:44):
On July twenty third, twenty twenty four, Butler just miss
hitting for the cycle, going three for four with a
home run, a triple, and a double, but as an encore,
that dude also added an outfield assist on a night
where it was his sixth straight mo Ulti hit game,
matching a mark said by AD's right fielder Jose Conseco
(30:06):
in nineteen eighty eight. Butler went twenty five for sixty,
hitting four to seventeen to open July with eight home runs,
four doubles, two triples and a major league leading twenty
four RBI in his first seventeen games.
Speaker 15 (30:20):
Butler's been on his own summer heat wave during the
stretch run.
Speaker 24 (30:24):
With his personal fireworks in July, he lifted his batting
average from one seventy nine to two fifty three and
his OPS has jumped from five to twenty nine to
eight oh three during the span. The A's as a
team may not be much to watch right now, but
each night these days, Lawrence Butler has become a show.
Speaker 15 (30:45):
Unto himself.
Speaker 24 (30:46):
I'm Mark Gray, going d for the mixtape with the Beach,
MLB bro for the street.
Speaker 10 (30:53):

no need to dwell on history that had us polluted.
Jackie Robinson broke through don Nukom Smoke Crooks slowly, but
Shirley Brose took over.

Go Cite race Way and Timmy squares up to do

while the opp was snitching church is burned in that
Alabama kitchen, but out of the ashes came oscar gamble.
The South was the mecca for the melan NATed hand poll,
(31:29):
the New Age hill Boys, then baseball, thrilled.

Boys and money.
Speaker 10 (31:33):
Mike Harris is like a rapper, feed them to the youths,
gun clappers, turned back snatches. Not a band of actors,
but a band of bros. Like in Washington, NAIs, we
can't help but be flattered by black batters, the soul Patrol.
They spils a faceless sport without the politics, but we
can't ignore the swords. Lawrence Butler, Jordan Walker, Todz Bradley,
(31:55):
Exavion Curry, Andre Jackson, Jordan Adams, Nick Gordon's start, applauding
Von Grissom, Tamar Johnson.
Speaker 8 (32:03):
We in a rhythm.
Speaker 10 (32:04):
When you want action, the bros will break backs and
stretch your starting pitching words of wisdom. I really miss
Hunter Green and Doctor Stick Tristan, the ups and down
Hodge and lows of the show. Just to get there's
a miracle, only a few notes.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
When we get there.
Speaker 10 (32:18):
It's the combination of blood, sweating tears, running it down.
Speaker 18 (32:21):
For the baseball fans who here.

Baby Everybody, This is justin Petruleau with the blackcas support
on the MLB bro Show Podcast mixtape. Here's where you
get the latest on the millenity in Mount Ruders for
a Shovy with precision and popping out all across the
big leagues. So Lesser thro Report one of the best
teams that baseball just got even better at the trade deadline.
Blackjack Clarity was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on
(33:19):
July thirtieth at the very last moment of the deadline.
Speaker 18 (33:22):
Flerity was one of the biggest.
Speaker 22 (33:24):
Names available, as he's been excellent in his half a season.
Speaker 21 (33:26):
With the Tigers.
Speaker 22 (33:27):
This is the second year in a row Flarity has
been traded to a championship contender at the deadline, as
last year he was traded to the Baltimore Orioles from
the Saint Louis Cardinals. He now joins a Dodger team
where he can make an immediate impact, as they very
much are in need of pitching. He scheduled to make
his Dodger's debut on August third in Oakland versus the Athletics.
Speaker 18 (33:46):
Hunter Green was.
Speaker 22 (33:46):
Absolutely dominant once again on July twenty eighth versus of
the Race, going seven scoreless innings and only allowing two
hits and five strikeouts. This star caps up an unbelievable
month of July for the twenty four year old Flamethrower,
only giving a one run all month, strike out twenty
nine batters, and having a zero point three to three ERA.
He has also struck out at least five batters in
every game he's pitched this season, which is twenty one,
(34:08):
a Reds franchise record he broke before the All Star break,
and he continues to add to Green is scheduled to
be back on the Mounds Saturday, August third at home
versus the Giants. The weight is finally over for the
season debut of Devin Airbender Williams as he made his
first appearance of twenty twenty four until twenty eighth against
the Marlins. He pitched one inning, giving up one hit,
one walk, and one strikeout on twenty four pitches. As
(34:30):
he's being eased back int actioned he will not be
pitching on back to back days. The Brewers are currently
five games ahead in the NL Central, so the fact
they are getting the best reliever back when healthy will
be a very scary sight to see for the remainder
of teams. Jordan Hicks fixed on July twenty eighth against
the Rockies, but for the first time this season, he
came out.
Speaker 15 (34:48):
Of the bullpen.
Speaker 22 (34:49):
In his appearance, he pitched two innings, allowing three hits
and two runs. This was hicks first game coming out
of the bullpen all season, a move that may be
permanent for the rest of twenty twenty four, as Hicks
I acknowledged he was feeling fatigued from starting. Hicks had
a terrific start to the season, but had a very
rough middle of the season, hence the move to the pen.
While he may not be a starter anymore for the
(35:10):
rest of the season, Hicks and the Giants do hope
that he'll be back to starting games in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 18 (35:15):
That's the black a support for this week. This is
JP the rook Now back to the mix.
Speaker 15 (35:24):
Here comes the big interview.
Speaker 26 (35:27):
Now, let's welcome into the podcast Boston Red Sox shortstop
David Hamilton.
Speaker 18 (35:32):
Dave, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
Of course, thanks for having.
Speaker 18 (35:34):
Me, appreciate it.
Speaker 26 (35:36):
I just want to talk to you about your rookie
season basically and your progress.
Speaker 18 (35:43):
Where you are, what's happening. How has it been. I
know you came up last year, but this is your
full taste of the major leagues. How things going.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
I mean it's going good. Got off to a rough start,
but I mean in a little work and seeing a
little success lately. Yeah. Man, hopefully I can keep you going.
Speaker 26 (36:05):
Talk about your path to the major leagues. I know
you were drafted, then you got heard COVID. A lot
of things kind of pushed you back. How do you
did you persevere.
Speaker 8 (36:16):
During that time?
Speaker 18 (36:16):
You know, when just things weren't going your way?
Speaker 27 (36:18):
Yeah, well I didn't play it for it was three years,
two years because I got drafted, hurt toward my achilles,
and then COVID happened. So yeah, that was like two
full years away from the game. Yeah, I mean, just
a lot of a lot of hard work, a lot
(36:39):
of rehab to go through.
Speaker 26 (36:42):
How do you not get discouraged two years off the field.
It's a long time, you know, where you go, Do
I really want to do this? Do I really want
to put in that work? Did you ever get to
that point or no?
Speaker 9 (36:51):
No, for sure.
Speaker 27 (36:52):
I mean I think that I kind of just changed
my body though. I was working out a lot, getting
a little faster, getting a little stronger, So I was
kind of ready to get back on the field at
that time. It took a long time, but I mean
I was happy with the work that I put in
to get to that point, you know, and it's like
when you finally get on the field, it's like, Okay,
(37:12):
I've been working my ass off for the past two
years since I haven't been playing, so I don't know.
Speaker 9 (37:18):
Just a little bit extra motivation, I guess.
Speaker 18 (37:20):
How about being a shortstop for the Red Sox and
what that's like.
Speaker 26 (37:23):
You know the history of this franchise and you know
how much people love baseball in Boston.
Speaker 18 (37:30):
What has that been like for you?
Speaker 9 (37:31):
No, it's been It's been a good experience so far.
I mean the fans, like you said, are they're intense,
They're crazy.
Speaker 18 (37:37):
They are all about they are about the Red Sox.
Speaker 9 (37:39):
Yeah they are.
Speaker 27 (37:41):
No, I mean it's been fun. Stadium has been loud,
especially like against the Yankees. Man, that's that's some crazy
atmosphere right there. Man, it's been fun. I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 26 (37:52):
Our guessed is Red Sox shortstop David Hamilton joining us here.
Your first home running the big leagues was against the
Angels not that far from here, you stay, and what
was that like? And what was that experience like?
Speaker 9 (38:02):
No, that was that was crazy.
Speaker 27 (38:04):
I got called at like, I don't know two am
that day or I guess the day before. Then flew
over to La tired as hell, played in the game,
and I mean it kind of just you know, you
you don't think when stuff like that's happening, and kind
of just an out of out of body experience.
Speaker 16 (38:24):
I guess.
Speaker 9 (38:24):
First major league home run, Man, it was it was fun.
Speaker 26 (38:29):
As you were rounding the bases, what's going through your head?
Are you are you just is the moment and what's happening?
Or do you flash back to you know, all the
hard work, maybe you know all the things that you
did to get here, and here you are in the
big leagues, you know, leaving.
Speaker 9 (38:44):
The yard now. It was kind of like a surreal feeling.
Speaker 27 (38:46):
I guess like it just felt like I was running
the bases, man, like nobody else was around me. I
felt by myself, like I don't even know how to
explain it. I feel like that sounds a little weird.
Speaker 26 (38:57):
But no, you know what I'm going to say that
I know exactly what you're talking about. I've once boxed
in the celebrity boxing match. This was at the Palace
in Detroit, and I couldn't I only could see the
person I was fighting. I couldn't the crowd. I couldn't
see the crowd. I couldn't see anything.
Speaker 9 (39:13):
So right, it was a crazy experience.
Speaker 8 (39:16):
Man.
Speaker 9 (39:17):
It just kind of like I was floating around the bases.
Really it was a yeah, man, it was that was
fun moment. I'll never forget for sure.
Speaker 26 (39:24):
What's the hardest part once you make it to the
major leagues is about the consistency?
Speaker 8 (39:30):
Uh? Is it?
Speaker 18 (39:31):
The hitting?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Part.
Speaker 18 (39:32):
Is it the being consistent fielding?
Speaker 26 (39:35):
You know, when you play shortstop, you got to make
certain plays, you know, to make sure that innings are
clean and ended and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 18 (39:42):
What's the hardest.
Speaker 27 (39:43):
I think the hardest is just the mental part of
the game, you know. I mean you got to go
through it in the minor leagues too, But the minor
leagues is a different schedule like big leagues. You play
pretty much damn near every day, traveling, getting in late,
you got to play the next day. Body doesn't always
feel the best, you know, kind of just like a
(40:04):
mental grind to getting into the zone every day.
Speaker 9 (40:10):
Yeah, I think that's the main thing. I mean, pitchers
are better, hitters are better.
Speaker 27 (40:13):
You got less time to react, That's that's for sure.
But I mean at the end of the day, it's
it's baseball, and that's what we've been growing up doing.
It's definitely at a higher level. So I think that's
just the mental part where that comes into play. You
gotta be a little bit sharper between the years.
Speaker 18 (40:30):
How about the fun part? What's the most fun? Is
it just winning?
Speaker 8 (40:34):
Just is it?
Speaker 14 (40:35):
What? What?
Speaker 18 (40:36):
What part excites you when you're out there?
Speaker 26 (40:37):
Being around your teammates, seeing guys get hits or winning
or whatever.
Speaker 27 (40:42):
I think the fun part is the stadiums, like the atmosphere,
especially like big stadiums like this. But also, like you said,
winning winning is you know, of course you want to.
Speaker 9 (40:54):
Do good yourself, but even if you don't do good
and the team wins, like it's it's fun.
Speaker 8 (41:01):
It's them. Look at c J.
Speaker 10 (41:16):
Abrams, he's catching all that Brookie slack. Now it's bad,
it's blazing. He wanted to bring the city back. That's
how we deal with When CJ. Brock is fitted captain
nets a prep in DC, it's time to bring the
city back. Sixty three long and lanky with the blisters.
That bend of bros got the nets myn elite system
back to one solo trade. Mike Britzi wants to fade you,
(41:39):
not out far in the GM who've been nice for days?
Last the letther fall in the hole. Yeah he getting
that spinning on his back. Make the throw yo. He
rofer at another Georgia boy employed to record destroy the
MLB bro scene. So highlights your boy average creeping up
Homer's double digits the nets to rend the cut with
(42:01):
the tunnel vision and as the team throws, so will
Abrams game. This ain't that team flow. Aprams already in
the game, and 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. Yo, we don't double dripple.
He hits doubles and triples. The effected ripple.
Speaker 8 (42:22):
Number five is initial.
Speaker 20 (42:24):
C J.
Speaker 10 (42:24):
April, he's catching off that rookie slack. That's baddest placing.
He wants to bring the city back. That how we
do it with CJ.
Speaker 8 (42:32):
Baptist felded captain. That's a rep in DC. It's time
to bring the sisty back.
Speaker 10 (42:37):
Look at DJ Hadels, he's catching off that rookie slack
now with baddest placing. He wants to bring the city back.
That's how we do it when CJ Bactus feared captain.
Speaker 8 (42:47):
That's a rep in DC. It's time to bring the city.
It's the right.
Speaker 10 (43:09):
That concludes another episode of the MLB Bro Show podcast
mixtape for this week.

Kids with Davy Grub on mb bros Podcast.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
What's up, Everybody, I'm David Grubbing. It's time for another
edition of Classic Hits on the MLB Brochhow Podcast The Mixtape.
Willie Stargel was perhaps the biggest bopper for the Pittsburgh
Pirates during the nightnineteen seventies, arguably the most successful decade
in the franchise's history, and on August first, nineteen seventy,
Stargell had one of the greatest games of his Hall
of Fame career. Place in the Atlanta Bravesn't playing left field,
(01:12):
Stargell hit three doubles in a pair of home runs,
accumulating a franchise record five extra base hits and.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Fourteen total bases. The Pirates would beat the Braves twenty
to ten that day. In his career, he only had
one game that was better. In nineteen sixty eight, he
set a career high with seven RBI in the Pirates
record with fifteen total bases while bashing three home runs
in the thirteen to six win over the Chicago Cubs.
The nineteen seventy season would mark a resurgence for Stargul.
(01:38):
From nineteen seventy through nineteen seventy three, he would average
thirty nine home runs, one hundred and ten RBI, and
eighty eight runs scored while batting two to eighty eight
and making three All Star teams twice as ops topped
one thousand and He finished in the top five in
MVP voting three times as well, and he also helped
push the Pirates of the nineteen seventy one World Series,
(02:00):
where they beat the Baltimore Orioles in seven games. They
repeat that feat in seventy nine, again going the distance
and again beating Baltimore. This time was Stargel at thirty
nine years of age, winning both the regular season and
World Series MVP Awards. He would remain the oldest player
to win the MVP Award until another form of pirates,
Great Barry Bombs took home the award with the San
(02:22):
Francisco Giants after the two thousand and four season. The
man they called Pops had plenty of it until the
very end.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
I'm David Grubb and this has been classic hits. Now
back to the mix, Ryan.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Keep firing, You're really the best bet.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Rash and Hour I'm back at you. Playoff thirty one
to twelve on the year. Our first matchup texts us
to the Bronx New York Yankees Stadium on Friday, where
we have the New York Yankees versus the Toronto Blues.
Jazz Junior making his Yankee home debut should spark the lineup.
I think he is energy, his enthusiasm that he's just
(03:09):
possessed this week Philly and in Boston to start his
Yankee career Friday, Bronzus should be rocking Marcus Stroman on
the bump.
Speaker 8 (03:17):
I think he bounces back.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
He's due for a good game.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Penstripes role at home, Ryan, keep firing.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Our next matchup takes us to Minneapolis, Minnesota, Target Field
on Saturday, where we have the Minnesota Twins versus the
Chicago White Sox. Royce Lewis, Byron Buxton, the rest of
that Twins lineup just too much for the White Sox
late as the role in prevail at home on.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Saturday, Ryan keep firing.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
Our last matchup takes a Seattle, Washington t Mobile Park
on Sunday, where we have the Philadelphia Phillies versus the
Seattle marinerds spros. JP Crawford seems to be heard in
that Mariner's lineup, even with the addition of Randy Rose Arena.
I just think Phillies just too much. Zach Wheeler on
the mound for the Phillies. He should bounce back at
the rough out of against the Yankees this week. Phillis
(04:02):
close out the Northwest trip with the w headed to LA.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
This is your man, Ryan Holt signing off.
Speaker 9 (04:10):

Get.
Speaker 10 (04:25):
Man d behind the box, Anny sack batter from spinning
on my hops, rippingo. They planet up and started at
the top because the bottom wasn't faster. Number sitting from
my hops. Now I know what fast the numbers j
more tops feed like this at the second Roses on

the Roses on their horse tomorrow. Johnson shorts for Mercy
and pennycd E rams out in DC and he repping
for the city.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
Now stay with me.
Speaker 10 (05:02):
There's only six percent bros that we cover fever richly
I do with so Jackie Roberson can't risky fully the
black aces. There's only fifteen races so though not as
why we don't cover rather races. The NLB trope flow
and started in the basementship the black Man in Machado
Racing and a Porsche Dorodoton.
Speaker 8 (05:20):
Is out in black like Balcos. He's off to the
racist Tim Manners in Miami.
Speaker 10 (05:24):
Magan moves that have a flake ris coment chill song,
Jordan Walker, Mason Win Saint Louis to the dome at
least at the game again. But the green ten can
stock the sticks. We do it for the hell we
do with for the bricks. Sometimes it's shunty. Sometimes the
praise shine's burnda. Ain't nothing gonna stop me. When they
say it's game time. They puff on that poppy and
(05:45):
they said, I'm the main guys playing guys, paying guys.
Leave them on the third baseline restern Nation with Washington.
The two fis don't make me act like if I

Judge Michael Hiroshi.

When we say with it, it means around the basis,

league vacations.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
Noblivia's bass, he.
Speaker 10 (08:01):
Caught cases, we stole basis and the smile for faces,
Mike Jordan Hicks when he moved to the starting rotation
and her degree when he started challenging the main men.

It's all about the ms.
Speaker 10 (08:13):
Marcus Simi and Marcus Stroman, Mookie Betts Roses rolling both exploding.
Jappie Crawford has the madness in the mixed doctor stickings

We get a love. They barely get it.
Speaker 10 (08:45):
Back when I'm not pressed as low as bros is
taking at Stannis jop blessed.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
We showed up to the represent the due and it's money.
Speaker 10 (08:53):
Might make catches that say the Chippings Blue Rivers, Adam Jones,
Kevin Mitchell, let your whistle rose, the shots with out

swell number when he took an for me, they didn't
support him, so they not supporting the hunter Green Doctor
k Fred McGriff. This is the tongue of a black
(09:14):
man with gift the swing with somewhip in the flesh
snd of myth. Some hated, some appreciated, but I miss
the stated they clearly we underrated the bro flow Boyne.
Speaker 9 (09:27):
Got crazy and.
Speaker 12 (09:30):
Got crazy front come crazy, fro got crazy.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
MLB bro bast fifty g said about four man.
Speaker 10 (09:45):
Blaming brown with white kids. So that that with me
show they sent the club bad for me, you know,
be broke.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
Down with.
Speaker 13 (09:58):
As the man with me Hi find Pine Oh he
knows it.
Speaker 8 (10:17):
The struct of the bed Foot Convention.
Speaker 14 (10:23):
This MLB bro has been an enigma. Swing off tremendous power,
great speed and a fantastic glove, but cannot seem to
be able to consistently put the ball in play. What
do it's your boy, Charles Jonga And this is take
that with mlbbro dot com.
Speaker 15 (10:45):
Take that from mlbbro dot com. Well hit right center.
Speaker 14 (10:56):
Back in his hometown the home run Welcome home reds
lfielder Will Benson has been putting up numbers across the
board except for his batan average.
Speaker 16 (11:07):
It's about focusing on obviously the important like you know,
detail that will show up in the game in terms
of like obviously mechanics, but more such a sta approach
of good pitch to hit things like that.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
It's kind of hard to work on a the cage.
Speaker 15 (11:21):
You need a lot of the game to work on that.
Speaker 16 (11:24):
But I think outside of mechanics, the biggest thing that
I've learned to it's the mindset and just having to
pull out you know, confidence on that you can get
the job done.
Speaker 14 (11:33):
That's what I'm going to be doing the second half
at the time of this recording bits and struggles versus
left these an rities with a one ninety four batan
average and a two seventy seven on base, but gives
credit to his family to keep his mind on track.
Speaker 15 (11:51):
Family.
Speaker 16 (11:52):
Family is a big thing in terms of when you
leave the field, being able to kind of just turn
the page. That's the main thing, is being able to
turn the page and really just understand that's part of
the game and still come out there with the next
day with that same swagger and at compete level at
all time high known like I said, to give you
doctor Well.
Speaker 15 (12:13):
Benson struggles at the plate.
Speaker 14 (12:15):
He has shown versatility in the field, making web gym
after web gym, playing all three outfield positions. Benson is
another tool on an extremely young this and a Red
team and could be another building block for the next
generation of the Big Red Machine.

Speaker 12 (15:20):
A couple of bros are enjoying their new scenery following
the trade deadline. It's big news because there's a big
power shift for the Juggernauts in the league. Jazz Chisham
was traded to New York Yankees. Jazz is very electric
and brought his best game in New York, a ton
of energy which he may be named AL Player of
the Week. Putting on the clinic in that Yankees uniform.
Tally enough seven hits, six runs, four home runs, eight
(15:42):
RBI with the three sixty eight bad average, Jazz is
looking like the missing piece on the Yankees doing great
on the defensive end at that third base, some incredible
clutch double plays. It just looks fantastic in the Yankees uniform.
Then you have Jack Flairdy being traded to the LA Dodgers.
Flairs back home. Perfect scenario where your hometown team has
put together a collection of stars and being a clutch
(16:04):
pitcher that Flair has shown in Detroit. It pushed the
Dodgers in a great position. Flair has been very productive
this season, posting a seven to five record as a starter,
one hundred and six in his pitch one thirty three
strikeouts with a two ninety five VR. Flair is pitching
like a top ten pitcher in the league. And then
being traded from Detroit, where the bullpen was a staple
of the team, it's very exciting. They have Fan being
(16:25):
traded to the Saint Louis Cardinals. Fan was traded back
to the team that drafted him after he was traded
last season to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Speaker 15 (16:32):
The Diamondbacks had a great push for the playoffs.
Speaker 12 (16:35):
If fam can bring that same energy to the Saint
Louis Cardinals, they'll have a great chance of making the playoffs,
as we will be serving it up all season longs
right here on MLB Bros Podcast The Mixtape on Devon Cooks,
Say Hungary or wings Ovious plus.
Speaker 19 (16:51):
Base Balls, a game of stats, Uns, the Beast, the Ball,
and I'm the numbers Man. Marcus Simion has bounced around
as a hitter over the past few seasons, struggling to
put up back to back elite years at the plate
since his twenty nineteen breakout season. However, he has always
managed to be a major impact player regardless. This season
(17:13):
has displayed a low at the plate for Marcus, and
he is still one of the Rangers' most important players.
A one oh one weighted runs creative plus for Samine
is not bad by any stretch, but for his standards.
Speaker 15 (17:27):
Is not quite what he can produce.
Speaker 19 (17:29):
However, he has still managed two point nine fangrass wins
above replacement.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Why is that while his.
Speaker 19 (17:35):
Spectacular defense is managed to take another lead in twenty
twenty four, his outs above average have steadily grown year
on year for him, from six to twenty twenty one
to eight and twenty twenty two to thirteen and twenty
twenty three, all the way up to a league leading
fifteen outs above average in twenty twenty four. That leads
(17:57):
the league in all positions, not just second base. With
ten defensive runs saved and four point nine ultimates own rating,
Simon has been a defensive dream for the Rangers this season.
While his production at the play has been around league average,
his bat at ball numbers show that he has actually
been hitting the ball quite well, as his three point
(18:18):
thirty one expected winning own base average is nearly the
same as it was in twenty twenty three. Simon is
approaching his fifth straight for win season excluding twenty twenty,
and he continues to prove why he is still the
best second baseman in baseball Sebastian Ball.
Speaker 10 (18:36):
He has the analytics, the stats, and makes it all
match for the Brown and Black MLB BRO Show, Sports
Rap Radio, MLB Bro Podcast, the Mixtape Let's get Your
Numbers Right.
Speaker 20 (18:50):
I got two guys for you whose numbers are so
equal it's not even funny. And two guys both from California,
both right handed out fielders, both were listed at six
two one point eighty in their playing days, and both
are currently in.
Speaker 21 (19:06):
Their mid seventies.
Speaker 20 (19:08):
Some of you young cats may only know Dusty Baker
as a manager, But trust me, he could play.
Speaker 21 (19:14):
He did so for nineteen years.
Speaker 20 (19:17):
You want his equal, look no further than Gary Matthews.
They called him Sarge. He played ball at the highest level.
Speaker 21 (19:25):
For sixteen seasons. Stick around.
Speaker 20 (19:28):
I'm gonna give you some numbers, but know that these
guys are terrific human beings off the field as well.
Speaker 21 (19:35):
Let's get it on.
Speaker 20 (19:37):
Baker made his big league debut in nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 18 (19:40):
For the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 20 (19:41):
While he held his keep for a few seasons, he
actually didn't hit his first home run until nineteen seventy two,
when he collected seventeen of them with a three twenty
one batting average as well. The next year, it was
Matthew's time to shine, as he was the nineteen seventy
three Nationally Rookie of the Year with the San Francisco
(20:02):
Giants twelve homers, fifty eight runs batted in, and an
even three hundred average. Let's not leave out Dusty that
year either, career high ninety nine runs batted in. He
had a twenty four stolen bases. Another good season. Both
guys kept it real the next few years with their
power and steady presence Baker, as you may or may
(20:25):
not know, he was in the on deck circle and
Hank Aaron hit home run number seven fifteen Baker. He
would hit thirty nine homers over his last two years
with Atlanta, and Matthews would average sixteen homers and seventy
five runs batted in in his last three seasons with
the Giants. Nineteen seventy seven was the start of something
(20:46):
for Baker. It was the only season he would hit
thirty homers Dodgers. They not only won the Nation League West,
but they rode Dusty's hot that into the World Series.
That year, he was the National League Championship Series MVP,
first time that award was ever handed out.
Speaker 21 (21:03):
He hit three fifty seven.
Speaker 20 (21:05):
He got the Dodgers back to the Fall Classic in
nineteen seventy eight after hitting four to sixty seven in
that playoff series against the Phillies as well. Matthews, while
he didn't reach the postseason during that time period, he
did garner All Star status before Dusty did by hitting
twenty seven homers in nineteen seventy nine. Dusty, however, as
(21:27):
we begin the nineteen eighties, he was dangerous. A three
year span he was a two time All Star, two
time Silver Slub Award winner, and took home his only
Gold Glove in nineteen eighty one while helping Los Angeles.
Speaker 21 (21:42):
To a World championship.
Speaker 20 (21:44):
Remember this Tate October eighth, nineteen eighty three, Game four
National League Championship Series Dodgers at Phillies. Both Baker and
Matthews would connect for homers in that postseason game, but
it was all all about Matthews, as he would go
on to win the National League Championship Series MVP that
(22:06):
would end Baker's playing postseason career and Matthews he would
help the Cubs to a division title the following season.
Baker he would call it quits in nineteen eighty six,
Matthews in nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 21 (22:19):
Let's take a look at this over a career.
Speaker 20 (22:22):
Thirty more hits total for Gary Matthews again, just thirty
eight homers more for Dusty Baker, thirty five more runs
batted in for Baker, and a lifetime batting average of
two to eighty one for Gary Matthews and two seventy
eight for Dusty Baker.
Speaker 21 (22:42):
Can it be any closer?
Speaker 20 (22:43):
For two guys who played a total of thirty five
seasons in the big leagues.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
Now it's the Black Asia, the Black As. It's the
Black Age Report, the Black Age Report.
Speaker 21 (23:08):
What's up, everybody?
Speaker 22 (23:09):
This is justin Patruley with the Black Ace Report on
the MLB Bro Show podcast mixtape. Here's where you get
the latest on the Melande to Malta marauders who are
shoveling with precision and popping out all across the big leagues.
Speaker 21 (23:19):
So he let's check the report.
Speaker 22 (23:21):
As the second half of the season has begun, Hunter
Green continues to show why he deserved to be an
All Star. He picked up right where he left off
as he went up against the Braves on July twenty
second and pitched seven to four less innings while only
allowing two hits and seven strikeowns. This month has been
Green's best month in his entire career, as he's pitched
a total of twenty innings with only one total run
(23:41):
given up and twenty four batters set down on strikes.
Green's final start of the month is scheduled to be
on July twenty eighth, down in Florida against the race
black Jack Clarity was terrific on July twenty fourth, versus
the Guardians, going six innings and only allowing one run
on three hits. He did not receive a decision as
the team ended up losing two to one late. It's
the first start since April thirtieth where Flarity did not
(24:03):
receive a decision, going seven to four in that stretch.
With the trade deadline less than a week away, the
Trey ruvers have been ramping up and Flarity's name has
been in the mix. The Tigers are a below average team,
and with Clarity playing well and on an unexpiring deal,
he is a very attractive candidate for contending teams to
try and acquire. Jordan Hicks pitched on July twenty third
(24:23):
against the Dodgers, and it did not go well, to
say the least. He only lasted three and two thirds
innings and allowed four runs, earning the loss. Hicks has
not been given the win in a start since May nineteenth,
and after Tuesday's game, Hicks.
Speaker 20 (24:36):
Admitted that he was feeling fatigued.
Speaker 22 (24:38):
With that being said, it looks like Hicks maybe moving
back to the bullpen to give him a bit of
a reset. It has all gone wrong for Nationals ace
Josiah Gray as he has undergone Tommy John surgery to
repair a partially torn UCL in his right elbow. Gray
went on the il back in early April, originally for
a strained muscle in his forearm.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
He had been on the road to recovery.
Speaker 22 (24:58):
For almost three months, and on his potentially last rehab start,
Gray thought some discomfort in his elbow, revealing the damage.
He's now got a major comeback ahead of him as
he's out for the twenty twenty four season and most
of twenty twenty five. That's the black A support for
this week it is JP Derook.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Now back to the mix.
Speaker 23 (25:18):
Now back to the mix Bro Show podcast the mix Tape,

The Oldland Age Lawrence Butler is fast becoming that dude
in their final year playing in the Bay Area.
Speaker 8 (28:52):
You know, I mean it's just.
Speaker 25 (28:53):
All outside noise. You know that's in the clubhouse. Let
us just go out here and trying to win games.
You know, that's all we can control. So you know,
if people say they want to say, you know, we
just let all the noise be the noise, and we
just control who we can.
Speaker 24 (29:04):
Butler figures to become a spectacular player in the show
one day, but now he's begin to put the league
on notice.
Speaker 15 (29:10):
He's become a nightly Sports Center.
Speaker 24 (29:12):
Web Gym, and it seems like for the last month
they've been running it back for extra highlights on MLB Network.
Speaker 25 (29:21):
Yeah, you know the show you're playing against, you know,
some of the greatest athletes in the world, you know,
especially in this game.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
So you know, you kind of just got to take that,
you know, take that as you know, just like I'm.
Speaker 18 (29:32):
Not gonna go out here, you know, get a hit
every time. You know, man, I am facing the best
of the best.
Speaker 25 (29:36):
So you know, you just kind of got to try
to deal with failure, you know, and when you're high,
keep your highs, your highs, your loans, you lows, just
try to stand between.
Speaker 24 (29:44):
On July twenty third, twenty twenty four, Butler just miss
hitting for the cycle, going three for four with a
home run, a triple, and a double, but as an encore,
that dude also added an outfield assist on a night
where it was his sixth straight mo Ulti hit game,
matching a mark said by AD's right fielder Jose Conseco
(30:06):
in nineteen eighty eight. Butler went twenty five for sixty,
hitting four to seventeen to open July with eight home runs,
four doubles, two triples and a major league leading twenty
four RBI in his first seventeen games.
Speaker 15 (30:20):
Butler's been on his own summer heat wave during the
stretch run.
Speaker 24 (30:24):
With his personal fireworks in July, he lifted his batting
average from one seventy nine to two fifty three and
his OPS has jumped from five to twenty nine to
eight oh three during the span. The A's as a
team may not be much to watch right now, but
each night these days, Lawrence Butler has become a show.
Speaker 15 (30:45):
Unto himself.

on the MLB bro Show Podcast mixtape. Here's where you
get the latest on the millenity in Mount Ruders for
a Shovy with precision and popping out all across the
big leagues. So Lesser thro Report one of the best
teams that baseball just got even better at the trade deadline.
Blackjack Clarity was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on
(33:19):
July thirtieth at the very last moment of the deadline.
Speaker 18 (33:22):
Flerity was one of the biggest.
Speaker 22 (33:24):
Names available, as he's been excellent in his half a season.
Speaker 21 (33:26):
With the Tigers.
Speaker 22 (33:27):
This is the second year in a row Flarity has
been traded to a championship contender at the deadline, as
last year he was traded to the Baltimore Orioles from
the Saint Louis Cardinals. He now joins a Dodger team
where he can make an immediate impact, as they very
much are in need of pitching. He scheduled to make
his Dodger's debut on August third in Oakland versus the Athletics.
Speaker 18 (33:46):
Hunter Green was.
Speaker 22 (33:46):
Absolutely dominant once again on July twenty eighth versus of
the Race, going seven scoreless innings and only allowing two
hits and five strikeouts. This star caps up an unbelievable
month of July for the twenty four year old Flamethrower,
only giving a one run all month, strike out twenty
nine batters, and having a zero point three to three ERA.
He has also struck out at least five batters in
every game he's pitched this season, which is twenty one,
(34:08):
a Reds franchise record he broke before the All Star break,
and he continues to add to Green is scheduled to
be back on the Mounds Saturday, August third at home
versus the Giants. The weight is finally over for the
season debut of Devin Airbender Williams as he made his
first appearance of twenty twenty four until twenty eighth against
the Marlins. He pitched one inning, giving up one hit,
one walk, and one strikeout on twenty four pitches. As
(34:30):
he's being eased back int actioned he will not be
pitching on back to back days. The Brewers are currently
five games ahead in the NL Central, so the fact
they are getting the best reliever back when healthy will
be a very scary sight to see for the remainder
of teams. Jordan Hicks fixed on July twenty eighth against
the Rockies, but for the first time this season, he
came out.
Speaker 15 (34:48):
Of the bullpen.
Speaker 22 (34:49):
In his appearance, he pitched two innings, allowing three hits
and two runs. This was hicks first game coming out
of the bullpen all season, a move that may be
permanent for the rest of twenty twenty four, as Hicks
I acknowledged he was feeling fatigued from starting. Hicks had
a terrific start to the season, but had a very
rough middle of the season, hence the move to the pen.
While he may not be a starter anymore for the
(35:10):
rest of the season, Hicks and the Giants do hope
that he'll be back to starting games in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 18 (35:15):
That's the black a support for this week. This is
JP the rook Now back to the mix.
Speaker 15 (35:24):
Here comes the big interview.
Speaker 26 (35:27):
Now, let's welcome into the podcast Boston Red Sox shortstop
David Hamilton.
Speaker 18 (35:32):
Dave, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
Of course, thanks for having.
Speaker 18 (35:34):
Me, appreciate it.
Speaker 26 (35:36):
I just want to talk to you about your rookie
season basically and your progress.
Speaker 18 (35:43):
Where you are, what's happening. How has it been. I
know you came up last year, but this is your
full taste of the major leagues. How things going.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
I mean it's going good. Got off to a rough start,
but I mean in a little work and seeing a
little success lately. Yeah. Man, hopefully I can keep you going.
Speaker 26 (36:05):
Talk about your path to the major leagues. I know
you were drafted, then you got heard COVID. A lot
of things kind of pushed you back. How do you
did you persevere.
Speaker 8 (36:16):
During that time?
Speaker 18 (36:16):
You know, when just things weren't going your way?
Speaker 27 (36:18):
Yeah, well I didn't play it for it was three years,
two years because I got drafted, hurt toward my achilles,
and then COVID happened. So yeah, that was like two
full years away from the game. Yeah, I mean, just
a lot of a lot of hard work, a lot
(36:39):
of rehab to go through.
Speaker 26 (36:42):
How do you not get discouraged two years off the field.
It's a long time, you know, where you go, Do
I really want to do this? Do I really want
to put in that work? Did you ever get to
that point or no?
Speaker 9 (36:51):
No, for sure.
Speaker 27 (36:52):
I mean I think that I kind of just changed
my body though. I was working out a lot, getting
a little faster, getting a little stronger, So I was
kind of ready to get back on the field at
that time. It took a long time, but I mean
I was happy with the work that I put in
to get to that point, you know, and it's like
when you finally get on the field, it's like, Okay,
(37:12):
I've been working my ass off for the past two
years since I haven't been playing, so I don't know.
Speaker 9 (37:18):
Just a little bit extra motivation, I guess.
Speaker 18 (37:20):
How about being a shortstop for the Red Sox and
what that's like.
Speaker 26 (37:23):
You know the history of this franchise and you know
how much people love baseball in Boston.
Speaker 18 (37:30):
What has that been like for you?
Speaker 9 (37:31):
No, it's been It's been a good experience so far.
I mean the fans, like you said, are they're intense,
They're crazy.
Speaker 18 (37:37):
They are all about they are about the Red Sox.
Speaker 9 (37:39):
Yeah they are.
Speaker 27 (37:41):
No, I mean it's been fun. Stadium has been loud,
especially like against the Yankees. Man, that's that's some crazy
atmosphere right there. Man, it's been fun. I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 26 (37:52):
Our guessed is Red Sox shortstop David Hamilton joining us here.
Your first home running the big leagues was against the
Angels not that far from here, you stay, and what
was that like? And what was that experience like?
Speaker 9 (38:02):
No, that was that was crazy.
Speaker 27 (38:04):
I got called at like, I don't know two am
that day or I guess the day before. Then flew
over to La tired as hell, played in the game,
and I mean it kind of just you know, you
you don't think when stuff like that's happening, and kind
of just an out of out of body experience.
Speaker 16 (38:24):
I guess.
Speaker 9 (38:24):
First major league home run, Man, it was it was fun.
Speaker 26 (38:29):
As you were rounding the bases, what's going through your head?
Are you are you just is the moment and what's happening?
Or do you flash back to you know, all the
hard work, maybe you know all the things that you
did to get here, and here you are in the
big leagues, you know, leaving.
Speaker 9 (38:44):
The yard now. It was kind of like a surreal feeling.
Speaker 27 (38:46):
I guess like it just felt like I was running
the bases, man, like nobody else was around me. I
felt by myself, like I don't even know how to
explain it. I feel like that sounds a little weird.
Speaker 26 (38:57):
But no, you know what I'm going to say that
I know exactly what you're talking about. I've once boxed
in the celebrity boxing match. This was at the Palace
in Detroit, and I couldn't I only could see the
person I was fighting. I couldn't the crowd. I couldn't
see the crowd. I couldn't see anything.
Speaker 9 (39:13):
So right, it was a crazy experience.
Speaker 8 (39:16):
Man.
Speaker 9 (39:17):
It just kind of like I was floating around the bases.
Really it was a yeah, man, it was that was
fun moment. I'll never forget for sure.
Speaker 26 (39:24):
What's the hardest part once you make it to the
major leagues is about the consistency?
Speaker 8 (39:30):
Uh? Is it?
Speaker 18 (39:31):
The hitting?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Part.
Speaker 18 (39:32):
Is it the being consistent fielding?
Speaker 26 (39:35):
You know, when you play shortstop, you got to make
certain plays, you know, to make sure that innings are
clean and ended and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 18 (39:42):
What's the hardest.
Speaker 27 (39:43):
I think the hardest is just the mental part of
the game, you know. I mean you got to go
through it in the minor leagues too, But the minor
leagues is a different schedule like big leagues. You play
pretty much damn near every day, traveling, getting in late,
you got to play the next day. Body doesn't always
feel the best, you know, kind of just like a
(40:04):
mental grind to getting into the zone every day.
Speaker 9 (40:10):
Yeah, I think that's the main thing. I mean, pitchers
are better, hitters are better.
Speaker 27 (40:13):
You got less time to react, That's that's for sure.
But I mean at the end of the day, it's
it's baseball, and that's what we've been growing up doing.
It's definitely at a higher level. So I think that's
just the mental part where that comes into play. You
gotta be a little bit sharper between the years.
Speaker 18 (40:30):
How about the fun part? What's the most fun? Is
it just winning?
Speaker 8 (40:34):
Just is it?
Speaker 14 (40:35):
What? What?
Speaker 18 (40:36):
What part excites you when you're out there?
Speaker 26 (40:37):
Being around your teammates, seeing guys get hits or winning
or whatever.
Speaker 27 (40:42):
I think the fun part is the stadiums, like the atmosphere,
especially like big stadiums like this. But also, like you said,
winning winning is you know, of course you want to.
Speaker 9 (40:54):
Do good yourself, but even if you don't do good
and the team wins, like it's it's fun.
Speaker 8 (41:01):
It's them. Look at c J.
Speaker 10 (41:16):
Abrams, he's catching all that Brookie slack. Now it's bad,
it's blazing. He wanted to bring the city back. That's
how we deal with When CJ. Brock is fitted captain
nets a prep in DC, it's time to bring the
city back. Sixty three long and lanky with the blisters.
That bend of bros got the nets myn elite system
back to one solo trade. Mike Britzi wants to fade you,
(41:39):
not out far in the GM who've been nice for days?
Last the letther fall in the hole. Yeah he getting
that spinning on his back. Make the throw yo. He
rofer at another Georgia boy employed to record destroy the
MLB bro scene. So highlights your boy average creeping up
Homer's double digits the nets to rend the cut with
(42:01):
the tunnel vision and as the team throws, so will
Abrams game. This ain't that team flow. Aprams already in
the game, and 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. Yo, we don't double dripple.
He hits doubles and triples. The effected ripple.
Speaker 8 (42:22):
Number five is initial.
Speaker 20 (42:24):
C J.
Speaker 10 (42:24):
April, he's catching off that rookie slack. That's baddest placing.
He wants to bring the city back. That how we
do it with CJ.
Speaker 8 (42:32):
Baptist felded captain. That's a rep in DC. It's time
to bring the sisty back.
Speaker 10 (42:37):
Look at DJ Hadels, he's catching off that rookie slack
now with baddest placing. He wants to bring the city back.
That's how we do it when CJ Bactus feared captain.
Speaker 8 (42:47):
That's a rep in DC. It's time to bring the city.
It's the right.
Speaker 10 (43:09):
That concludes another episode of the MLB Bro Show podcast
mixtape for this week.
