Transcript of Can You Name Each MLB Franchise Home Run Leader? | Pitch Clock

Roy, when we do these, we normally do a cold open.

Okay.

There it was.

Welcome to the Pitch Clock. Here's the pitch: a two-part baseball segment combining a nostalgic baseball trivia game and an interview with an expert. This is the Pitch Clock. Did you think Pitch Clock wasn't happening just because baseball's not happening?

Huh.

Think again.

No.

Think again. That's right. And you hear that voice?

Hey, it's me.

That's Roy.

How you doing?

Guess what?

What?

Chris has been replaced.

Oh.

Oh. That's Chris.

Nah, I'm still here.

Oh, hey.

Yeah.

Hey.

That's Chris. I know our voices. You know what's funny?

What?

I've heard people say that when they listen, they're not always sure who's talking between the two of us, which is strange to me.

Yeah, I think my voice sounds different.

So do I.

Yeah.

Like the Marlins play guys from like five years ago?

Todd Hollensworth and Paul Severino?

Ooh, which one are you?

I'm.

I'm Todd.

Yeah, you're Todd.

Yeah.

Todd.

Sorry.

Todd.

Especially because.

I'm Severino.

Todd Hollensworth's a hitter.

Mmm.

Well, yeah. Speaking of.

This is awkward. It's called a segue.

All right. So here we are. Here we are. Yesterday, if you're just tuning into the Pitch Clock and you didn't watch yesterday's main show, you can somewhere on this YouTube playlist, hopefully already, we have a recap of what went down yesterday on the live show, which is that Chris and I decided our 2026 title in Pitch Clock trivia through me pitching to Chris. Obviously, we've recorded this after that.

All right. I'm feeling it now. Feeling it now, boys.

Cool, Shaq, you?

Foul ball.

Foul ball.

Please throw that curveball again.

Please throw that curveball again.

Okay.

Throw that curveball again. Okay.

Oh.

Oh, I saw that one.

I love that one. Right down the middle.

Basically, right there.

Oh, all right. I'll give him a single.

All right.

You want to call it?

Jeremy's pitching that we just say I'm up 2-1. That's what Jeremy wants.

Yeah.

So I'm cool with that. Base hit, it's over.

Ooh.

Dear my.

Ground out to short.

Damn.

That's over, guys. One more pitch. One more pitch. One more pitch. I know. I know. One more pitch.

Ground ball to short.

Oh, I hit Rose.

You hit Rose.

All right. That'll do it.

Oh, sorry, Rose.

In my defense, they put her right.

Chris has one more pitch.

They put her right at the shortstop.

That went about as expected. Both of us looked bad.

No strikeout. I'm not hurt. I think Jeremy pulled his ass, but other than that.

Yeah.

I think we're good to go here. Who won?

Who won?

Who won?

I won.

I won.

No, I won. No, I won. I stroked Jeremy.

It was a tie.

Yeah?

I stroked you.

You stroked me?

After I won.

Wow.

Whoa.

All right. So.

Wow. Look at Jeremy working blue.

A victory.

Hey, blue.

Hey.

How about us?

Blue wave, baby.

Look at us.

Roy, give me a hand.

Look at our blue wave.

A wave.

A wave.

Yeah.

So.

We won.

Here we are. We're going to be doing some Pitch Clock exhibition game episodes here, all right? No analysis, just the fun of trivia, and we're going to be always bringing in a third.

Yeah.

To this.

We're keeping it fresh.

Keeping it fresh this offseason.

Yeah, we are.

Now I'm worried about this because Roy is historically, if you said to me, "Anyone in my life," not just my work life, "Anyone in my life who's good at trivia," Roy would probably be my first round pick.

Yeah, that's right.

So, and I feel like our wheelhouse, which is early 2000s baseball, is right there in Roy's wheelhouse.

Still wheelhouse.

So.

More like '90s and late '80s.

So this first time, we're going to do it like one versus one versus one.

That's right.

But if Roy destroys us, we are prepared going forward to have it be two versus one.

Yeah, that's right.

Like Jeremy and I.

Oh, handicap match?

Like, we're just going to see how dominant you are here.

Yeah.

Hopefully, we can compete, but this is going to be fun.

All right. It's been about three minutes of doing this, and we haven't talked to Gabe yet. Gabe, hey, man.

Hey, Gabe.

Oh, hey.

Hey. What's our game going to be for this first round of offseason Pitch Clock exhibition trivia?

Flip your pages.

All right.

You have all 30 MLB teams.

Oh, logos.

Oh, logo logos. What you guys are going to do is you're going to.

Boys, that's just upside down.

You're going to select the all-time leaders of home runs from each team.

Ooh.

Okay.

Ooh.

Three strikes.

We're crafting?

No, no, no. Just.

Ooh.

Wait.

You just got to name one. It's three strikes and you're out.

No cheating, Roy.

And this is for franchise leaders in home runs.

Franchise leaders in home runs.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

So who goes first?

Since Roy is our special guest, we'll let him go first.

All right. Braves Hank Aaron.

Ah.

Correct.

I wrote that down.

Classic.

This is fun. Huh, Roy?

Yeah, it is fun.

Is this fun?

Yeah, I like that.

All right.

I can't find the Braves helmet.

It's the second one.

It's the top left.

Go ahead, Jeremy. You'll be next.

I mean, geez.

All right. I will go Giants Barry Bonds.

Good answer.

Yeah.

Good answer.

Strike one.

What?

Oh my God. I know who it is.

It's not. It's not.

Is that.

I'm not saying that. Okay.

What? Okay. All right. Well, strike one for me.

Oh, man. Cardinals Albert Puos.

Good answer.

No?

Strike one for me.

Oh my God.

This is harder than I thought.

Yeah, this is.

Jeremy, Roy, Chris, me and Jeremy both have one strike.

That's crazy.

Okay. Is it mine?

Mm-hmm.

All right.

We should have done two versus one.

Yankees.

Yankees Babe Ruth.

Yeah. He's just taking the ones that we should have gone with too.

Correct.

Exactly. That's the strategy.

I was going to go.

What the hell?

I'm going to go. I think I know this answer, and oh, boy. Now I'm going to feel stupid if I'm wrong, but I think it happened. Oh, boy. Now I'm nervous.

Uh-oh.

Mets Peter Alonso.

Correct.

Correct.

All right.

My turn?

Yes.

Giants.

Willie Mays.

Correct.

There you go.

That was stupid of me. You're right.

Okay.

Oh my God.

I would have gone, but I had Bonds written down.

Yeah.

Like, I was going Bonds.

Mariners Ken Griffey Jr.

Ooh, I thought it maybe could have been A-Rod.

Correct.

Wow, it's Griffey.

Thank you.

I'm going to try. Let's go Marlins. It's Stanton.

Correct.

I thought you did it, honestly, just so I don't have to.

Just so you didn't have to get nervous.

I'm good. I'm on that one.

Yo, I'm up.

Yeah.

This is.

This is way tougher than I thought.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

Have I mentioned okay?

Okay.

Nationals Ryan Zimmerman.

Correct.

Good job.

Wow.

Twins Harman Killibroo.

God damn it.

That's a good one.

Correct.

That's a good one.

Who invited this guy?

No, that's a good one.

Thank you.

Oh, boy. Okay. So I'm going through in my head all of these big old-timey names, and I just can't is it all right.

Are you going before the '80s?

White Sox Frank Thomas.

Yes. Good job. That's a good one.

That feels good. That feels good.

Yeah. I bet it does.

That feels good. I'm just trying to stay alive here.

Oh my God. Philly's Mike Schmidt.

No.

Oh, wow.

Strike two.

I don't like what I just.

Cleveland Jim Tomi. Correct.

Thank you.

Oh, wow.

What, Gabe?

Chris, correct, on Mike Schmidt.

Oh.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Correction, a correction, a correction.

I flipped the two names.

A live correction.

Yeah, I flipped two names.

So I'm back to one strike.

Wow.

It's not Ryan Howard.

What a victory. Oh my God.

So Jeremy and I both have one strike.

All right.

Okay.

I'm just trying to look at teams here and see if there are guys that come to mind.

Yeah, I'm going to all the teams.

That's generally the part of the game.

Shut your mouth, all right?

I'm thinking about Baltimore over here.

Shut your mouth. All right. I'm going to go with this.

How'd you know? He looked interesting.

And hope I'm no, he just said it out loud. I'm going with oh, boy. All right. I'm doing it. Cardinals Stan Mutual.

Yeah, that's a good answer.

Yes.

That is a good one.

That's a good one.

I was between him and another player. That one feels good.

Okay, okay, okay. Let's get cooking.

Is it me now?

Yes.

All right.

Rockies Todd Helton.

Yeah.

Okay.

Ooh.

Yeah, that's a good one. All right. I don't want to say it. I don't want to say it.

Man, so Roy has zero strikes. We both have one strike.

We're all doing well so far.

Man, this is crazy.

I'm about to have my first strike.

Oh, Roy's going to have a strike.

Starting to fade.

I'm going to go with Cub Sammy Sousa.

Yeah, I have that written down.

Correct.

It's correct.

I have that written down too.

Yeah. I knew that was right.

I have five.

I have six more written down, but I don't feel positive about any of them.

Yeah, I feel the same way.

Yeah.

Oh, geez.

Oh, man, that's tough.

You could just put together a compilation of all of the times that we've gone. Man, that's tough. Ooh.

Ugh.

Oh my God.

Ooh.

Oh.

Is Al Keiner the.

Al Keiner for the.

The Tigers?

Yeah.

Let's go.

Wow, that was excellent.

Let's go.

Who is that?

Al Keiner.

Thankfully that's right.

Hold on. Al Kline.

Did you just pronounce it wrong, or did he mean someone else?

Because he meant Ralph Kiner, but he meant Al Kline.

Thank you.

Judges.

I appreciate that Roy knows where I was going, and I confused him with Ralph Kiner.

I've never even heard of that guy.

I know it's Al Kline.

So we're only giving him credit. He could have said no to you.

I said Al with a K, and I meant Kline.

Dude, that was impressive.

That's right.

Impressive. He got it wrong.

Well, he did get it wrong, but technically.

Did I get it wrong, or did I know exactly what I was doing and say the name wrong like we've done on previous episodes before? I mean, I'm okay. How about this? How about this? Here's the handshake deal. If it comes down.

Let's just see how it goes plays out.

Yeah. Let's see how it plays out.

I'll allow it for now.

We're going to.

You know what?

After this.

He mispronounced Robin Young.

Yeah, I remember that.

Mount, but.

What?

We didn't give it to him.

You never said Robin Mount.

You called him Robin Mount.

I'm helping you.

He's trying to help you, but you could just say.

Robin Young.

No, but you said Robin Mount.

Last.

I'm trying to.

That when we did the other thing.

Oh, man. That's crazy.

He's trying to help you because we said that you didn't do it right.

Right.

I'm going to put an asterisk the same way they do on the home run list.

I'm sorry for yelling at you, even though you're trying to help me.

Yeah.

That was insane, how quickly you got defensive.

All right. So who's up? Me?

We're going in a sequence here.

Yeah, you are.

I'm after Jeremy?

Yeah.

All right. Astros Jeff Bagwell.

Ooh.

Damn it.

I just wrote that down. That's so funny.

That was crazy.

I just wrote that down.

I know. I watched you. That's why I got it.

Oh, that's.

I had it down. Look right here. I had Bagwell written down.

I don't want to do this. I don't want to say it. Want to go to Brewers here. I don't want to be wrong. Whoa, I.

Ouch.

So I won't.

Ouch.

Pirates, Willie Stodgil.

Yeah.

Yes. Thank you.

Boy, you're amazed by that one?

Yeah, just a bit.

That's an all-time great.

Yeah.

Oh, why didn't you say it?

No, just an all-time great. Yeah, that's a great question, Gabe.

Yeah.

I'm scared of there's one team here that I'm just scared of, and so I'm avoiding it entirely, but I have guesses, but I'm scared. So I'm going to go down. Is the Angels Mike Trout?

Yes.

All right. There you go.

When I heard both of you say.

Shares not Mike.

All right.

Geez. I mean, come on now.

Al Kline, all right.

It's like, boy, one of the more famous names in baseball history. Like, if you just said popular baseball names, it'd be like, "Al Kline is like an all-time historic name." Al Kline.

All right. That's fine. That's fine.

I was like.

Derek Jitter.

Okay.

That would actually be closer. I would give you that one.

You know.

Derek Jetsky.

You.

Oh, no. I meant you. Everyone knew I meant.

We're going to talk.

Who's turning to say it's one of the most famous names?

What's he laughing at?

But didn't understand that that's where I was trying to go.

You said Al Kainer, and I was like, "I didn't even " I was just like, "Al Kline?" I was just trying to think of an all-time lead. I would assume I've heard of every franchise is Al Kline.

So when you said Al Kainer, I'm just like, "I've never even."

That's fine. That's fine.

We've got an asterisk there.

Sure.

That's fine.

To me? On me?

Sure.

All right.

I said Bagwell.

Oh, it is Bagwell. Athletics Giambi.

Strike two.

Oh, wow.

How stubborn.

All right. I'm going to do something dumb as well. I'm going to stay with Oakland. I'm going to go with Jose Canseco.

I hate Roy.

Strike one.

Yes, finally.

There you go.

Boy, guys, I'm starting to struggle here.

Oh, it's tough.

And it's like there are certain teams that have been around a long, long time. All right. I'm between two players, and I'm just going to go with my gut.

Okay.

Red Sox Ted Williams.

Correct.

There you go.

Thank God. Thank God.

Chris.

So your asterisk is on your second strike. It's whether or not you have two. You wouldn't have already had three, right?

No, I would have only had two.

Okay.

So tough one.

Royals George Brett.

No.

Strike three.

Oh.

It's the only name I've thought could be there.

The Royals was.

No, no, no, no.

Just this year.

It was just this year?

Yeah, the guy.

All right. You just gave a hint.

Sal Perez.

Just gave that to me.

Yeah, I had that written down.

I had it written down.

Did you have it written down?

Convenient.

I did. I did.

But he reassured that it's right.

It was reassuring. It was reassuring.

Sorry.

No, it's okay.

You also had Bo Jackson.

It's fine.

So when he said.

It's fine.

You had two things written down, and he gave you like it happened this year.

I was going to go with Sal Perez first.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, you should.

Okay.

Over Bo Jackson.

That's what I wrote it first.

I have Bo Jackson.

That's right.

I have a question.

You've been there long enough.

I have a question.

Yes, sir.

Can that eliminate my Al Kiner asterisk? Can that.

No, because I said it out loud.

Can that influence because you had two written down?

I mean, I'm out of the game for sure.

So that we're even giving a frick.

I don't know, man.

Sure.

Whatever.

All right.

Okay. This is getting dicey.

I'm going to be so mad if the ones I had written down here were wrong.

Orioles Frank Robinson.

Oh, man.

No.

Oh.

I was.

No.

I was thinking there that he was going to.

Strike two.

No.

Okay. Dodges Mike Piazza.

Strike two.

Oh, wow. All right. Two and two here. Now, that technically, Roy went first. So I.

Yeah.

So if Jeremy misses this, Roy legally wins.

Yeah, that's right. Okay. So hold on. I'm going to talk you through where I'm at. I have a name I have a name that I haven't written down for Oakland that's there, but I just don't think is right, but it's possible. I have the guy we're definitely thinking about with Arizona. I have names written down for both Tampa and the Brewers. I have another name written down for the Orioles. I also have a name for the Rangers.

I mean, it's like if you play that many games in a row, you got to have enough to know.

No, it's not him.

Oh, wow.

Because I don't think he hit that many home runs.

Ooh, Gabe made it seem like it might be.

Don't do that.

Now I can't guess the Orioles.

I'm going to go with the Orioles, Brooks Robinson. Wrong.

Strike three.

Obviously.

Wow.

Brooks Robinson?

So that's it.

He wasn't a power hitter.

All right. So let's talk about it. I know. I just figured maybe compile.

All right. So Roy, of course, won.

Thank you.

I don't think he dominated enough to go 2v1 next time, but let me say.

Can I?

Luis Gonzalez.

Luis Gonzalez.

Dammit.

No.

Adam Dunn, Reds.

No.

No.

Eric Carlos Delgado, Blue Jays.

Yes.

Was Tony.

I would have won.

I would have won. That would have been mine.

No.

It was Johnny Bench.

Johnny Bench. Okay.

Who is the Orioles?

Cal Ripken, Jr.

It is.

Oh, my God.

Dammit. I shouldn't have done it.

Prince Fielder for the Brewers.

Is it Prince?

No.

Ryan Bron.

Okay. Thank God.

Who is the A's?

Mark McGuire.

Dodgers?

Duke Snyder.

Yeah, that's why I didn't.

The Padres Kim Kaminetti? No, Manny Machado.

Was A Rod for the Rangers?

Juan Gonzalez?

Juan Gonzalez.

Okay.

Dang. I would have been like, "That was dang."

Is it Longo for.

Yes.

Reyes?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I thought it was Caminero. I thought I remembered that.

I didn't remember.

I thought he already could have gotten there.

I don't know.

All right. That's everybody, right?

Yeah. So I'm a big winner.

Wow. All right, Roy, congrats.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Oh, you had Eddie Murray written down there.

At least Jeremy didn't win.

Yeah.

All right. Well, hey, good job, Roy.

Thank you.

Congratulations on your first endeavor onto the Pitch Clock.

Thank you.

We'll see you next week.
