 Hi everyone, Joe for JasperiesCaseBreaks.com coming at you with 2023 Tops Chrome Baseball Hobby Edition Dual Case Break Picker Team Number 7, 24 boxes total, a pretty long break. So kick back, relax, settle in. Let's make this happen. Big thanks to this group for getting in on it. On the first of the month, it's the first of the month. Again with Last Fond Mojo Reds, and since this is a brand new month, we're going with a new font, a Sansa Serif font, Leto. For you font fans out there, Leto. There's Hobby Editions, 12 boxes, one auto-a-box. Let's not forget to take this out of our inventory system here. Lots going on in the baseball world as well. What moves did you like? What do you think were the biggest moves, the most impactful moves, a lot of pitching being traded. We did see a lot of hitting being moved around, but we did see a lot of pitching moved around. So we'll see. My daughters really didn't do that much. They got Keke Hernandez a week or so ago, they picked up some Lance Lynn that he's going to help. And then they got Ryan Yarbrough from the Royals today to kind of shore up that bullpen death. As a Dodger's fan, not super confident about, not super confident about the Dodger starting rotation in the playoffs. I wish they would have shored that up a little bit. Spencer, this is the dual case break. You can tell these are hobby boxes right here. Dual case break number seven. We also have a schedule that we use regularly and Nightbot frequently drops that schedule and I would encourage everyone to keep an eye on that schedule right there so you know what's going on. And you can see what are the other breaks lined up, if any, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Jerry's saying, for those who don't know, Money Mike is Michael Harris. Is that what they call him out there? Your teams, you should get an order confirmation spent, so that'll tell you what teams you purchase. This break. Lance and Linda is your boy. Hotty toddy, is that what they call him? Do we know about that on the West Coast? Yeah, it's tea with whiskey in it, right? And honey? Or lemon. Or both. It's a good remedy, good cold remedy. Some people use bourbon. Alright, so this is hobby edition, so we're expecting one auto per box looking for guys like this, Corbin Carroll, but parallels is what we want to see. That's going to go to Randy the Diamondbacks, but all of those could add up, especially if they grayed out nicely. We're also looking for, remember to hold on to those Otanis and the Ronald Acuna Juniors. TOPS is bringing back that MVP buyback program. Remember when they did that last year with Aaron Judge and, why am I blanking on, who was the NL MVP last year? We got a Ryan McMahon to $2.99, little color match with that purple. Goldschmidt, right? Thank you, Grizzly Lease. I don't know why I blanked on that. And your autograph, first auto in the first box, $182 out of $250, will Brennan. That's going to go to the Guardians, John G., with the Guardians. Cleveland, this is for you. That's right, Brennan saying Goldschmidt as well, it's all coming back to me now, but they're bringing back that MVP buyback program at participating hobby shops. Check with your local hobby shop for that. And I think base, you get a certain amount of credit to the store, to your local card shop, and then if they're numbered to a certain amount, then that amount keeps going up. And I'm not sure what TOPS is doing with that. Here's Ken Waldichick for the A's. It's to Aqua Lava to $1.99. What are we going to do with that? We'll do an autograph recap at the end, which will be a little while from now. We've got this case, we've got one more. Card ship of course, and obviously with such a long break for our shipping team to sort and ship out, just give them a little patience. If you're not in this break and you're like, man, is there anything else I can do while I'm waiting? You can. The Fanatics live stream is up tonight, and I think this is our first night, and I think we should be seven nights a week from here on out. Seven nights a week? Are we doing seven nights a week? One, two, three, four, five, six, yeah, we're doing seven nights a week. And then I think YouTube will be six nights a week. The only night we're not doing YouTube would be Sunday night. So Teddy and I actually will be teaming up on Sunday nights for Fanatics live. We should be a lot of fun. So download the Fanatics live app for now on iOS only. They're developing an Android version, still sort of a beta version. They're still working on the finishing touches on it. Well, I imagine they'll, I mean, technically it could always be a, I suppose it could always be in beta. I always should always be doing updates, but yeah, still in sort of the early stages but you know, they've got the core part of it already. So we may as well just dive into that app, start working on it and then we'll give them some feedback on any, this only had one card in it. Maybe some other pack must have felt thicker. But yeah, so check it out. But they're an Android version and a desktop version on the way too. And the auto pop in early. That is Leover Poguero. 65 out of 150 for the buckos. That'll be for John Samuelson and the Pirates. Crystal of these is off to buy an iPhone. You know, it might be, it might be a lot cheaper just to buy a, buy like an iPad mini or a used iPad or something like that. There's Jose Abreu 250. So it kind of scales up the iPhone app into a iPad screen, but it's a way to, it's a way to use it. That's how I use it, you know, so treat yourself. A nice Gunnar Henderson for Sean Matic, prison parallel. Now we've got a nice Jordan Walker, 26 out of 99 for the Cardinals. That's going to be for Chris Parent and the Redbirds. It's a Riley Green refractor for the Tigers. That'll be for Michael P. All right, another box in the books, next box. How do we feel about the trading deadline ladies and gentlemen, any comments? Anyone, you know, what's your team? Did you like what they did or didn't do? Talk to me. Keep me coming during this two hour break. Does this trade, does it, does, do any trade changes? Does it change the fortunes of any team in a dramatic way? I wish we, we should have looked at like World Series odds before. We should have looked it up like a week ago and then what they are like tomorrow. Gilo saying, Royals suck. I think they added anybody, I think they added some players. And a couple trades that might be beneficial for the future. Grizzly Bees' Mets, my Metsies did okay. Got rid of a lot of old guys. Yeah, got younger, retooled a little bit. Getting Luis Angelicunia was, I think, a big deal. Oh, good, those are some good business by the Mets. Game paid Babumot Nioh one million, which is like nothing right now to these days, right, Jeremy? The way players game paid these days, a million dollars to drop in the bucket. Orioles getting, uh, getting Jack Clary. I'm glad the Orioles looked like they were going to be a little aggressive in the trade window. All right, we've got Jermaine Palacios for the Tigers. That's going to be for Michael. Grizzly Bees saw a tweet liking the Mets trading shirts for the Rangers to run to the game. It's like the choker snapping the pool cue in half and making the Thugs battle to the death. There's Garrett Cole to $3.99 for the Yankees. That'll be for Matt. Yeah, I mean, obviously a disappointing season for the Mets, but I think, you know, they're tearing the Band-Aid off, they're making some good moves, they're getting some good players back. You know, they've got deep pockets. I'm sure they'll be looking for some big names, make some moves in the off-season, and we'll get to Skyback and there's Alec Minoa, photo negative. For the Blue Jays, that'll be for Brad. What a weird season for Alec Minoa. All right, another box. Grizzly Bees is saying that the Mets window to win was maybe last year. And Verlander left it open for this year. They were realistic to cut bait now. I like this, I don't know what MLB Network calls this. Maybe is it Big Hit or Big Inning or something like that? I like the, I like the sort of, yeah, MLB Big Inning. I like the sort of red zoney sort of feel that they're having here. Three different baseball games going on right now. Right, that's good call, Grizzly Bees. I gotta, I gotta be careful about what I say to Minoa. A 95 mile per hour fastball may slip out of his hand and nail me in the face. His control has been so wacky this year. You might get me from wherever he is right now. No IG today, just YouTube and Fanatics Live. In fact, probably no IG for the near future, while we get Fanatics Live into a good, good groove. Yep, Taylor Ward. Wait, what is he on like the 60 day IL because of that? That is a classic matchup. Gila pointing out that the Mets and Royals are playing each other. At least beat the Marlins. No, IG has not gone the way of the Dodo. IG is like, what's IG like right now? It's like a panda, right? Maybe a once endangered species. But we're gonna, we're gonna be building, we might build, build that back up, repopulate IG. No, there'll be personal on Fanatics Live. I don't think we have any today. I think we'll do, we'll have a, not some personal breaks. I think maybe to start, maybe a couple of times during the week and we'll look to, look to expand that. Anything to help? No, I'm a bit sorry. Thank you. Have a good one. You too. We got a gold Luis Robert, 44 out of 50. I was in Chicago in the national last week and you know, took some, some rideshare services to, to my hotel, to the convention center. There was a lot of, a lot of people who were obviously Cubs and White Sox fans there. Saw a guy who was so frustrated with the White Sox. He was like, he was, he was bummed. Only fans were, y'all, you saw, I didn't know you were a fan of Only Fans. You, you found our stream there. There is Matthew Batten. You, do you batten down hatches? Is it batten down? Is that the right word? John Samuelson with the friars. There is Jose Miranda, three out of 25. You got him, Grizzle Bee. Matthew Batten a hundred. Is he batten a hundred? Is he even up? Gilo, speaking of Gilo, Gabe's a, a Royals fan. Did I, did I see some, some deadline buzz about maybe Salvador Perez getting traded? Was there any credibility or seriousness to that or was it just, it was just internet speculation that the, that MLB network was just rehashing, reporting. They haven't on an, on an extension. I was just kind of half watching MLB network while I was getting ready for work earlier today. So I thought I saw something like that flashed by the screen. He signed through 2026. It should be, it should be a great time to trade him with a lot of years left. This is not like he's a two month rental. Certainly some buzzgapes saying, not sure how much truth there was to it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they dealt him. He deserves better at this point in his career. Maybe an off season move. I mean, a lot of, yeah, I was going to say a lot of teams could use a catcher, Yankees, right? And with the DH, you could probably, you could probably, you know, kind of preserve Salvador Perez's legs. So if you have a good backup catcher or a good second catcher, it's maybe a little bit better with the glove or can withstand the rigors of being behind the dish. Give Salvador a prize, a little rest. That could definitely help too. Right, and they got MJ Melendez. Yeah, although he's not even catching, right? It's a different guy, he's doing pretty good. So maybe that makes sense. Maybe that'll be an off season move. Speaking of the Royals, Auto Pop and Early drew Waters. Drew Rodders runs deep. That's going to be for Stephen Carr... No, check that. That's going to be for Zach. Zachary G and the Royals. And we'll never be wrong. In the eyes of those friends. Seizuki to 75. Did the Cubs do enough to make it to the playoffs? Even playing, playing better. They're going to be buyers. There was a lot of rumors about Strowman being moved, Belinger being moved. But then they became buyers for the most part. Nice. Futera sold out nice. Thank you, Mike. Unfortunately though, you're going to have to wait a while. Check the schedule. Check the break schedule that Nightbot just dropped. And I'll give you an idea of when you're going to be seeing that. There's Fernando Tattis Jr. to 350. It's sliding around here. The only final today is in Miami. Phillies beat the Marlins 3-1. We've got a few games that haven't started yet. Red Sox are in Seattle. Diamondbacks are in San Francisco. And the A's are in Los Angeles. Lancelain, new Dodger. First start with the Dodgers since the trade. Rockies are up 1-0 on the Padres in the middle of the second. The end of the fourth. Metz leading the Royals 1-0. Bottom of the fourth. Guardians at Astros. Astros leading 2-0. They got 2 men on. The middle of the fourth. Cubs have already put 10 runs on the Reds. Reds were really hot for like a month. And then they have cooled off considerably. The Cubs are leading the Reds 10-2 in the middle of the fourth. In Texas, Rangers leading the White Sox 1-0. Twins leading the Cardinals 1-0. Bottom of the sixth. Braves leading the A's leading the top of the 7-2-1. Angels have runners on. Orioles leading the Blue Jays 7-3. Bottom, top of the eighth. Rays at Yankees. Rays shutting out the Yankees 5-0. At this point. And the Brewers are leading the Nationals 6-3. Bottom of the seventh. You got a Ricardo Pepe in your wax party box. Nice. Colorblast? Yeah, he's really good. All right, see Evan. Aaron, yes, it is soccer break time. But check the schedule. This is why the schedule is important. We're still an hour and a half. We're still a couple hours away from getting to that soccer break. We just started a dual case break. So check the schedule. Go run some errands. And then we'll have that ready in a couple hours. Right, I got to finish this break. I'm going to be starving after this break. I got to fuel up. Got to go through some more orders. And then get that futera break going. But something like that should be well worth the wait. We've got a Stephen Kwan. Photo negative. But yeah, Gilo. Ricardo Pepe was probably, his rookie year probably was one of the biggest chases in whatever set we did. He was with, I think, Dallas for a little bit. And was just banging in goals. And now he's in Europe now. He's with PSV, Einhoven, this year. After being with Osberg and then being on loan for part of the season. But he's only 20 years old. Doesn't turn 21 until January. And he's American. Supposed to be one of the big names. And he's a forward. He's a goal scorer. That's good for the hobby. And I thought it was going to be Josh Young. Here's Josh Smith. Sorry, Josh Smith. 187 out of 19, just disrespect. He's probably watching this break right now. I'm being like, come on. No, I'm not like Josh Young. But, you know, coming some slack here. That'll be for Tristan and the Rangers. Yeah, I mean, he should be on Team USA more regularly from here on out. At 20 years old, he's got probably two or three World Cup cycles in him. 270 out of 399, jazz chism. For the Marlins, Jonathan. Candelario's two for two in his Cubs debut. Wasn't his Cubs debut many, many years ago? Was he two for two in his Cubs debut many years ago? Candelario's been having a nice season. That was a good pickup. Ah, return debut. He got to be specific, Rex. We're sticklers for specifics. Yeah, I was going through the scoreboard and I noticed I was only at the fourth inning. Candelario is going to be the guy that helps Rex's Cubs go to the World Series. That's it. They were just a Candelario way. I mean, the Cubs are in an interesting spot. You know, I don't... They're five games from first, but they got to leapfrog the Brewers. Wildcars probably their best bet. They're three and a half games back. They got to leapfrog the Marlins and then the Brewers again. That's kind of crowded space. Could be interesting. The Cubs are definitely on the outside looking in. But they got a few teams ahead of them that are going to be difficult to catch up with. But they're within striking distance. Danesby Swanson just hit a homeroom. I was popping early here in this hobby case. Conor Capell. That will be for Steven C. and the A's. Yeah, and Gila will say more like Danesby Swanson. Danesby Bomsen. And Boms, here's Garrett Mitchell to 150. For the Brew crew, that's going to be for Brian Kay. And Cardi, don't forget the top's MVP promos. Most likely going to win the AL MVP, right? I think they're bringing that back. Hold on to those. There's Jose Miranda to 199. Twins, that will be for Benjamin. The Aqua Lava look. The Lava parallel looking really cool. Another box. What's the point of separate league MVPs? I'm going to play the same game now. Yeah. I wonder if that goes away. And it just becomes one MVP. Like the way basketball does it. It'll probably be showy with Tony, right? But yeah, the schedule is all balanced. Schedule is balanced. There's Universal VH. Maybe it'll just be there just because of tradition. Yeah, I'm going to stop grabbing that first pack there. 5 out of 50. Lee Overbrook, I want to save the order to the end of the box. Tor Orton in the middle to the end. Create a little more suspense. John Samson with the Pirates. 5 out of 50. No suspense for you. It's right there. Orlando Arcia to run home run. There's Wilson Contreras to 75. For the Cardinals, that'll be for Chris Parent. Yeah, I like the new schedule too. It was already trending in that direction, and it just might as well just do it. Kind of helped balance things out a little bit better too, I think. You know, going back to that awards thing, I wonder if and when baseball expands to 32 teams and most likely have to redo the division. I wonder if that's when they'll make changes in the awards to make just one MVP award. And we've got Ryan Nelson to 350. Brandy from Dimebacks. There's some smaller transactions going across the ticker here that I didn't see. Some smaller moves happening here. According to MLB.com, these are the seven teams that are trade deadline winners. Always got to do a winners and losers thing, right? This rider, whoever this rider is, it's William Leight from MLB.com saying that the Astros are a winner. The Rangers probably belong on the winners list. You can certainly argue they should be, but they probably don't feel like winners now that they have to deal with Justin Verlander again. It's always felt a little weird not having Verlander in Astros before I was back, precisely when the Astros mean the most. The Astros rotation feels complete in a way it hasn't all seasoned. And Verlander has been pitching well the last month or so. Rangers are obviously better with Max Scherzer and Jordan Montgomery. So they're hardly losers here, but the fact remains they had a chance to put away the semi-middling Astros for months now and did not. And now the Astros have Verlander back. This rider is saying raise our winners. The Rangers' incredible start to season led to a big division lead, little by little eroded until the Orioles made it go away entirely, largely because of the team thanks to injuries. You get to run out of starting pitching. But bringing Aaron Saval, who concerns about his underlying peripherals aside, has been terrific this year. It gives them quality gains at a time they need it the most. Then again, the Orioles and the Blue Jays did bring in a total of five Cardinals, Flaherty to the Orioles, and then Paul de Jong, Jordan Hicks, Jensen Cabrera, and Chris Stratton went to the Blue Jays. Rex's Cubs are winners. This guy is saying one month ago, if you'd ask the question what team will get the best hitter available at the deadline, it'd be difficult to find anyone who would have chosen the Cubs. But Jimer Cannellario, who we remind you has a World Series ring with the Cubs. He played five games in 2016 before being traded to the Tigers. Might be the biggest bat who ended up shifting teams. He placed third base, a position where the Cubs desperately needed some help. And of note, the Brewers, and especially the Reds, went very small at the deadline. Neither looked that much better today than they looked last week, but the Cubs sure do. They've got an uphill climb. The best run differential in the NL Central are Red Hot, giving themselves a chance. Padres saying there's another winner. Marlins, another winner. Metz, maybe not in the way you're thinking, but in terms of getting some assets back, and the Angels, C.J. Cron, Grichok, Geolito, Renato Lopez. They certainly short up their team a lot there. All right, we've got Gunnar Henderson for the Orioles. That's Sean Maddock with the Refractor, Gunnar Henderson. He's pretty good. Orioles are pretty good. Eloy Hemenez for the White Sox, photo negative. That'll be for Jeremy Olson. We're going to find some more Corbin Carrolls for Randy. We've seen some base, but we've not seen any parallels. We certainly haven't seen any autos. We still have a lot of break to go here. Yeah, that was interesting, right? The guy on the Tigers, I think Eduardo Rodriguez, exercises no trade clause and not go to the Dodgers. I think the deals are all set and ready to go, and the last thing they had to do was, you know, just give them a call. The Tigers had to give them a call and say, hey, do you think we've got a deal worked out for you to go to the Dodgers? Do you want to waive your no trade clause? Thought about it. He said, no. There's Logan Ohope at 399, which was interesting. I don't know what his situation is. Maybe there's Gabriel Moreno, 391 out of 499 for the Blue Jays and for Brad. I don't know, maybe he has kids. Maybe he didn't want, well, no, summer, summer, so they'd still be in school. I don't know, maybe his family wanted to stay in Detroit. Maybe he didn't feel like moving. I'm sure he has his reasons. Maybe he had a bad experience in LA. Maybe there's someone on that team he doesn't like. He's just like, man, moving? It's kind of a hassle. I wanted to stay in Detroit. He said, no one ever will. Someone did. Now there's at least one person, Grisly. That has said, I am staying in Detroit. I mean, he must be a hero in Detroit now. You think he has to buy a meal for the rest of the season? Maybe not. Looks like Mike Petriello on MLB.com is tracking every deadline deal. We've got 23, the 23 best deals of the 23 trade deadlines. Rangers, acquiring Max Scherzer. I think that's a good deal for the Mets, too. Luis Anjela Cunha is one of their, it's got to be at least a top 15, top 20 prospect. And then Astro's getting Verlander is the second one. Angel's getting Geoledo, Ronaldo Lopez from the White Sox. Yeah. I mean, you know, I think they're going on, well, first of all, Scherzer is going to a playoff team. Verlander is going to the Astros where they're used to. So, I mean, I don't know. There must be, maybe we'll get an interview from Eduardo Rodriguez of the Tigers. Maybe his next start whenever that may be to see what's going on. Right, yeah, Mets had zero issues eating money. He's actually paid $60 million for six years for Cunha. When's he going to get, when's he scheduled to get called up? Another season or two for Luis Anjela? I've heard some argue that he's a better hitter than his brother, Ronald. But without, like, he doesn't have that power yet though. He just hasn't developed power. Here's a Logan Ohapi for the Angels. That's to $1.99. Stephen Carney with the Halos. He's five eight, he listed at five eight, which probably means he's five six. Maybe that's why the pop hasn't developed just yet. Oh, look at this. Red wave two out of five, Sean Bouchard. That's a train whistle, ladies and gentlemen. Kevin with the Rockies. There you go, Kevin. All aboard the Big Hit Express. And there's Aaron Judge, nine out of 50. Gold wave. Frozen Fracture. Do I do the train whistle in reverse? No, I would just, I would just, I would do it as I was shivering. I'd be like, brrr, brrr, it's cold. Yeah, you approve, yeah. Brrr. Just kind of do it really quickly. It's kind of cold, like, like you're a, I don't know what would be the equivalent. It'd be like, maybe you're getting the mail on a cold day. There should be some Dodgers pre-game here. Let's see what they have to, let's see what the Dodgers pre-game team have to say about the trade deadline. They should have done frozen taco fractures to negative five. This is a missed opportunity. I like that. I approve of that. I would love to pull a taco fracture today on Tuesday? Taco Tuesday? How nice would that be? That's my, that'll be my bit. Taco Tuesday. Ding, ding. Taco Tuesday. Woo, woo. I'm ready. You hate that LeBron bit? It existed before LeBron. Remember how LeBron tried to copyright Taco Tuesday? But couldn't, and now it was on board in making Taco Tuesday available for everybody? Yeah, confirm. Tacos existed before LeBron. Tuesdays existed before LeBron. I can confirm that as well. And both eating tacos on a Tuesday have existed before LeBron. Here's Raleigh Green, purple. 150 out of 299, purple speckled. Right. I think that's the correct logic that I learned in my philosophy logic classes. A equals B, B equals C, A equals C. I think, yes, maybe. That's what my logic classes taught me. Or maybe didn't teach me as a case, maybe. If always equals B and B equals closing, I'm always closing. A equals C. There's Will Brennan, 284 to 499. Cleveland, this is for you. It goes to John G. and The Guardians. We got an Aqua Trevor story to 199. Got a little ball flip there. Going to Boston, that'll be for John. There's a Michael Harris for Jeremy Taylor. Refractor, rookie refractor. Box 12 of 24. So according to Mike Petriello MLBnetworkslash.com The fourth best trade, according to him, Blue Jakes acquiring Jordan Hicks for some minor leaguers. That was pretty solid. Raise, yeah, raise getting Aaron Saval. Pretty solid. They had a lot of pitching injuries. I finally caught up with them after their hot start to the season. This is why you play 162 games, ladies and gentlemen. Rangers getting Jordan Montgomery. Scherzer and Montgomery. It's a pretty good rotation. Let's look at their death chart really quick. Yeah, Mack Scherzer, Jordan Montgomery, John Gray. You know, he put Nathan Neavaldi there after he's off the IL. Andrew Heaney in the back of that rotation. That's really solid. We've got relievers like Earl Distrapman and Chris Stratton, Will Smith. Kitcher, Will Smith. Jonah Himes on the IL. But that's why they got Austin Hedges. Just a little bit of a backup. And that offense is great. Nathaniel Lowe, Marcus Simeon, Josh Young, Corey Seeger. Got some guys in the outfield there pretty good. Avares, who has a little pot, can steal some bases. Travis Jankowski, Adola Garcia can hit the ball pretty well. Ziko Durand. Got some guys off the bench that are pretty solid. Yes, I think he did... Did he write the whole song? Or did he just write the Dr. Dre parts? So, wouldn't surprise me. James Altman. He's a pretty talented dude. You got Rosario to 250. Hello Kitty Bobblehead Knight. It'd be a surprise how all those Hello Kitty Bobbleheads do on the secondary market. And there's Marcus Wilson, 50 out of 199. Aqua wave autograph for the Mariners. That's going to be for Durand in Seattle. Got Jordon Alvarez, green wave to 99 for the Stroes. That will be for Jason Griffin. This is James Altman refractor going to Brandon and the Dodgers. Got that prison parallel, now you got the refractor here. Another case, graph recap. I've tried to finish this case. One of the second case in this two case grade 24 boxes total. We did that first one... Yeah, about an hour. This will take another hour. I'll give myself a little space right here. If fan graphs have updated their playoff odd, last updated August 1st early in the morning. So I don't know if there's any... Well, maybe by tomorrow they might have some updated percentages. Maybe after all the... They calculate all the additional players that they have that have been moved by the trading deadline. But they still have the... They still have the Braves as their World Series winners. They've got them 100% to make the playoffs. And they lead the league World Series percent 24.4. Are we allowed to? You're gonna yell at us. They got the Dodgers at 96% to make the playoffs. Braves are the only team 100% to make the playoffs as of this morning. And they give the Dodgers a 12.9% chance to win the World Series. That's a big drop from 24.4%. Rays at 11.8%, Astros 11.6%, Rangers 5.5%, Blue Jays, Phillies, Padres, Orioles, Giants, Twins, Brewers, Dimebacks, Marlins, Yankees, Mariners, Red Sox, Angels, Cubs, Reds, Guardians, Metz, Cardinals, so on and so forth. World Series though, those are hard to predict. Making the playoffs is probably an easier thing to determine. Marcus Roman staying in Chicago. There's Alex Bregman, 197 out of 399. LB for the Astros, that's gonna go to Jason. There's another base, Corbin Carroll. We didn't see much color or autos of Corbin Carroll in the first case. But maybe the second case. First auto of the second case, 403 out of 499. Michael Siani, rookie auto for the Red Legs. That's gonna go to Ben. And last but not least, Mojo. CJ Crone, photo negative. Rocky's edition, that's gonna go to Kevin. Could be Angels now. We've got a Bobby Wood Jr. flipped around here. That just says 121 down there. Standard base, but flipped around for some reason. They have the Orioles depth chart updated. Yeah, I'm liking the way this team's looking. They've got the rotation as Kyle Bradish, Jack Flaherty, Dean Kramer, Kyle Gibson, Grayson Rodriguez. It's pretty solid. The addition of Jack Flaherty makes that rotation look pretty solid. Not sure about their, is their bullpen okay? I feel it's about these back there. They've got Adley Rushman, Ryan O'Hern, Adam Frazier, Ramon Urias, Gunnar Henderson, Austin Hayes. We'll have Cedric Mullins off the aisle. Anthony Santander, Ryan Mountcastle. Young team, Hungry. Good chemistry I'm assuming. All those players probably play together through the minors at one point or another. Do they have good defense? Pitching in defense wins championships, right? Even in baseball. I think the Orioles are towards the bottom of the package. And these corner fielding percent, whatever that's worth. Or no, maybe they're at the top of the package. They have a 989 fielding percentage. The lowest is 983. I don't know if this list is being sorted. We're sorting out this list here. No, I take that back. I think the Orioles actually have some of the high fielding. We're in their top five in fielding percentage. Diamondback, Cardinals, Rays, Orioles, Rangers are in your top five. Ooh, there's a Corbin Carroll refractor for Randy. It's a start. Getting warmer. Your presumptive NL rookie of the year. And J.J. Bladette. 21 out of 25 Marlins additions going to Jonathan B. Marlins first round pick. Top five pick, I think? Top 10. He's on the A's now, but that'll still go to Jonathan and the fish. Here's Austin Hayes to 199. Aqua Lava. That's a cool bit of photography with that parallel. Nice. Sean Matic in the Orioles. Here's Ronald Acuna Jr. Possible, probable, odds on favorite for MVP. It goes to Jeremy Taylor and the Braves. And Tops is doing that MVP buyback program again. So it could be one to hold on to. That participating hobby shops. There's Vini Pascantino to 299. For the Royals, that'll be for Zachary G. Lance Linn, we're in number 35. And it's Bellinger's old number. Very eager to see the Lance Linn's first start. For my dodgers. He's generally pretty durable. He's a little bit older. He's generally been pretty durable. Sort of a, I don't know, I feel like he's, I always liked Lance Linn. He always ended up on my fancy baseball teams over the years. You know, seems like a, seems like a tough guy, right? Like a burly tough guy. You know, he's got some fight in him. Some intensity, some emotion. Rubbed off on some of the quieter players. Could be a good chemistry move too. Dodgers sometimes have been accused in the last few years or so of being a little too workman-like. You know, a little too business-like. You know, but I think having some intensity on that team is nice too. I mean Kiki Hernandez back, I think is great. He's going to add a lot of fun to the clubhouse. We've got some purple. We've got some purple Marcus Strowman to 299. Purple Speckle going to John G. and the Cub Ease. And there's your autograph. It's Jared Young. Rookie Otto for the Cubs, John G. And we've got a Johnson and a Ronda flipped around, but that's still card 121, but it's numbered to 99. Ray is Tristan. What were the Royals playing again? Oh, they were in Kansas City. So I wonder when Ryan Yarrow, is he on a plane now? Yeah, Lance Linn does have some pretty good career stats. And he's got some good underlying stats as well. This is where sometimes just looking at win-loss record or just looking at someone's ERA doesn't tell the whole story. I'll have to dig up those stats somewhere, this Dodger's blog has some additional information. He's got career highs in strikeouts and K per 9. It's 10.8 K per 9 ratio. So he's dragging out a lot of dudes, but the other numbers aren't very good. There's a lot of other stats that are like that, like some of these deeper numbers. But hey, if he can just gobble up some innings too, I think that would be nice as well. I feel like I've got to look at the numbers. I feel like he's giving up a lot of solo home runs. So he's pitching well, striking out dudes, but then like three or four solo home runs later. And if those are the only hits you're giving up, and you're not walking a lot of dudes, that still balloons your ERA, you're striking out a lot of guys actually requires at least three pitches. So if you're getting deep into counts and then striking out guys, your pitch count goes down. You give up a couple of solo homers. The next thing you know, you're being pulled in the fourth inning. You're at 90 some odd pitches. You have about three or four runs. There you go. Even though your whip may be low and your strikeout rate may be high. Dodgers have a pretty good coaching staff, and I know it didn't work out with Noah Cindergaard, but generally speaking, they've been able to find and tweak some mechanics for a pitcher here and there and be able to create a little value out of them. They did that with Andrew Heaney last season. They did that with Tyler Anderson and eventually gave him, you know, help them earn some big contracts elsewhere. Spread baby photo negative for the Mets. That'll be for Brandon. Didn't work. The reclamation project for Noah Cindergaard didn't work this year, you know, but maybe they can tweak some mechanics here for Lance Lynn and be able to get something out of them. They gave Michael Grover Cutter, which for at least a few starts made him look like he was going to be turning a corner, but had a really bad start last time around. I think he's going to be more of a long relief guy for the Dodgers. Maybe a spot starter when they need him, but he's pretty young. He's got to just get a little more consistent. Oliver was saying earlier, he's got to hit his spots. Should be fine. Ooh. So that MVP buyback program, Steve, and I think you can get even more back for parallels, but nice, so tiny to $3.99 for Steven and the Andrews. And then we've got an Alex Kahl. $246 out of $4.99. Alex, call me maybe. Jerry with the gnats. Alex, here's my number. So call me maybe. Jerry with the gnats. I don't know how big that song was. It's huge. I like people doing lip-sync videos to those. It's a pretty fun song. It's Carly Rae Jepsen doing these days. Still making records? Cheers. Oh, do we, Jilo? I don't consider it until it's... until we're at the end of the seventh inning. We have to be going into the last two innings for meeting and consider it. I feel like if you look at MLB.com, they call it way too early. I think they start announcing it in the fifth inning. Way too early. They'll put a no-hitter alert in their scoreboard. Oh, we're three outs away? All right, that's worth looking at. Looks like it is the tribe that could be no-hit. They're in Houston. Down a couple runs, no hits. It's in the bottom of the eighth. Astros can tack on some insurance runs and are three outs away from a no-no. Is it a single-pitcher no-no? It is. Framber Valdez looking for a solo no-no. Only one walk. Seven strikeouts. When was that walk? When did he lose the perfect? We got a Volpe. Rookie refractor for the Yankees. Matt Smith. And Lance's first pitch is a ball. Nice Jordan Walker prism. Rookie prism for the Cardinals. Chris Parent. Now JD Martinez is Josh Bell. With the Guardians to 150. Be for John G. The fish now. Joe Evato to 150. Purple. Ben. Nice. First strikeout for Lance Linn. Lance Linn starts there. And the autograph is Jeter Downs. Former Dodger prospect. Red Sox edition going to John G. It's a big part of that Mookie Bet steel. I don't think it worked out for the Red Sox. I don't know if Jeter Downs is even on the Red Sox anymore. Nice plate. Miguel Rojas. If the Dodgers defense better than the White Sox defense, maybe that'll help Lance Linn. I don't know if Jeter Downs is even on the Red Sox anymore. If the Dodgers defense better than the White Sox defense, maybe that'll help Lance Linn a little bit. You think former Met Miles Straw breaks up the no-no? 690, I believe, is the Dodgers network on DirecTV. Oh, dear. Grizzleby saying Jeter Downs tearing it up for the Nats and the Miners batting 165. Candelaria's 4-4 for the Cubbies. No one cares, Rex. Not when there's a no-hitter happening. That's the news of the day. Remember, we're a national broadcast. The varsity news of the day is the no-no. Not Jimer Candelario going 4-4 against... Who are they playing? Cardinals? Reds? Against the Reds? Yeah, I have no love for the Astros, Rex. I'm happy for them to blow the no-hitter. I'm with Gilo. I think Miles Straw, former Astro, Miles Straw will break up the no-hitter. That must be on MLB Network, right? Got to flip channels here. There we go. And Michael's not out there anymore. I think Fromber's only on 85 pitches when he started inning. They're really efficient. There's a Masatako Yoshida refractor and a Manny Machado gold wave to 50. Padres, that'll be for John Samuelson. Yoshida, John G, Red Sox. Nice refractor there. Astros two outs away from the no-no. There's Byron Buxton to 250. Purple Chrome, he's fired. I like that. Ben with the twins. And we got Masatako Yoshida. Autograph, Blue Auto 95 out of 150 for the Red Sox. John. Nice color there. Miles Straw does not break up the no-no. Fromber Valdez is now one hit away or one out away from a solo no-hitter. It's like Gallagher, Cam Gallagher maybe standing in his way. Final six boxes coming up. Is my feet ahead of yours? Sorry. All right, I've paused it. By how many seconds, John, or muted it? Should I wait before I react to anything? If I like 20 seconds, I'll wait 20 seconds before I say anything. Oh, I see. She's going MLB network. They have it on right now, that's what I'm watching. That's 20 seconds I think. And Fromber Valdez with the no-hitter. Yeah, MLB network generally will on regional coverage nights they will generally flip over will generally flip over to the game. I timed it perfectly. This is the kind of service that that we bring the added value that we bring as broadcasters to you, John Patterson. Best in the state. I know these things are important. I'm sure other people are in the same boat as you too. It's the Astros 16th no-hitter in franchise history. How many of those are Nolan Ryan's? Yeah, Astros definitely need more pitching at the deadline right now. Orlando flying tomorrow and joining the team again. Alright, well, there you go. Let's go back to the Dodger game. Don Varshow photo-negative for the Blue Jays, Rad. Under 100 pitches on that no-hitter. Okay, that's news. That's better than your usual JV news. That's some varsity news there. Bellinger apparently blacked out the scoreboard. Did they get it back or par the scoreboard? Do you think he broke some screens? I was at a Padres game a while ago and I think they were doing some stuff on the scoreboard and then like windows crashed and on the scoreboard was just like multiple windows cascading on your, some of you may have had that problem before, cascading on the screen with errors. There's Kettle Martain at 3.99, Randy with the Diamondbacks Union of the Cubs, Brandon Hughes, 1.55 out of 2.99 Purple, Speckle, Autograph, John G. and the Cubbies. Alright, next box. It's good to see Kike Harnad is back in the Dodger's uniform. I wonder if he got his number back. I don't know what number he was wearing before. It's not good with numbers. Are you guys good with numbers? Uniform numbers? According to baseball reference, no. His first handful of seasons with the Dodgers he was number 14. I wonder who's wearing 14 on the Dodgers now. I think the auto might be on this one. Let's do the side first. We've got a Gunnar Henderson, that card flipped around. Ronald Acuna Jr. Ooh, Mets taking the lead on him. It'd be funny if the Mets like moved all those guys and ended up playing better. Sometimes that happens. It's weird. It's a weird phenomenon. These are autographs on this side. It's Michael Harris. 005 out of 150 Blue Ray Wave Autograph for Jeremy Taylor. Nice rookie auto for the Bravos. We've seen some nice autos in this case. I agree. Trey Turner, 350 for the Fightin' Fills. That will be for Nick R. We've got a Jake McCarthy Green Wave to 99. Randy and the Snakes. There you go. Lance Lincoln gets 10 strikeouts to get everybody jumbo jacks tomorrow. Which I've never I've never tried. I've never done. How does that work? Do I just go to a jack in the box and be like, hey, I want a large drink and a jumbo jack? It's a good one, right? Good hand sanitizer. I don't know what... This is Watermelon, baby. Watermelon, some aloe. It doesn't dry your hands. Woo! I get the good stuff, folks. They already did once, Rex. I think it was a bad move. I think in July, I'm looking it up right now, July of 2017, Cubs traded Cannellaria with Isaac Paredes in exchange for Alex Obula and Justin Wilson. What are those guys doing now? They're not starters. Obula has since has retired. I don't think he's really bounced around a team year-to-year. Justin Wilson never made any contributions. And then you traded more players to get Cannellario back. He could have kept him the entire time. And Paredes. I think Paredes is starting. Oh, J-Dable at A. That's right. He's making some starts. He's out in the center field, made a nice sliding catch. We've got an Adley Rushman Refractor. And a Nolan Jones Wave Parallel for Kevin M. And the Rockies, the Rushman Refractor will go to Sean Matic and the Baltimore Orioles. Spencer Torkelson, Green Wave to 99. And it'll be for the Tigers, Michael or Katim Ojo. And there's Peter Lanzo, Ultra Violet. He didn't even want to show himself. You're turning Violet, Violet. That's going to be for the Mets. It's going to be for Brandon Swim. Short print, case hit. One per case, generally. See, either that or the Relic, I think. God, Jared Young. Rookie order for the Cubs, John G. Three box to go in this 24 box break. We made it. We're almost there. I'm sporting a 5-2 ERA on this season. They were doing that against like Justin Burlander or something like that. Playoff caliber pitchers. It's going to be a little more impressive. What's the most home runs in a game, you think? You know, it's regular in a standard nine inning game. I think it's double digits. The Mexico City game, yeah, there's there's no, uh, it's very, uh, it's like in the atmosphere that stadium. That city. It's a 350. Alex Bregman Astros, Jason. Ah, Rex looked it up. Ten. By the 1987 Blue Jays someone fact-checked that. Sometimes Rex just grabs the first result he sees on the Google machine and it's like an old article. I think that's got to be a short print. Yeah, 173 is the number on the back and clearly a very different picture. Branded with my Dodgers. So you can tell by the small little one at the end right there. A lot of home runs. Ten. What inning is that Cubs game at? I think I saw the Boxcora. They're in the bottom of the eighth, so unless they hit a few home runs now. I don't know if they'll be tying that record. Unless, do the Reds have like our position players playing now, Rex? There's Gerard and Cronacion. No, they got Tyler Maley out there. Cubs are 16-5. You would think there might be a little position player pitching here. Francisco Lindor to 125 for the Metropolitan. Maybe for Brandon S. Let's go James Altman. A little more pop from James Altman's bad here. I think this idea is a VW Volkswagen ID-5 or whatever that car is has what they call sit to start. This is a commercial. You watch the whole television. But you just sit down and the car starts. Do we like that? I'm not sure if I like that or not. If I'm sitting in the car I just had to grab something really quick. It just starts getting to the driver's side, leaning to the passenger's seat to grab the phone that I left there or something like that. And it starts. If I don't want to do that, there's Wander Fronko. 399 This is for the Tampa Bay Rays. That'll be for Tristan. We've got a Caleb Killian Cubs autograph for John. Negative Ken Waldichuk for the A's. That's going to be for Stephen. We've got an Otani Prism parallel. Nice one for the Angels. Stephen Carney. Josh Young. Refractor. Rangers. Tristan. Final box coming up 24th box. We do a little recap after this box. We're at the hour 54 in 45 second mark. So, think of the timing of about right. It'll be to double off the wall. Almost a home run. We can pitch clocks on dual cases. I'd be under it. The clock was probably two hours. Maybe I'll be a little over it. But I was on it. Time is pretty much on time. It's two air Ruiz. Aqua Lava. Cal Mitchell 299. Purple Speckle for the Pirates. That'll be for John. Samuelson. Tony for Stephen. Kyle Stowers is your final autograph. 387 out of 499. Sean with the Orioles. And Kristian Yoves. That's that. 1 hour 58 minutes 5 seconds. Boom. Got the break under two hours under the pitch clock. Here's the first case. Here. Some nice autographs. Some nice color. That was the first case. Second case which you just saw. And even more stuff. Josh Young Refractors. The Mookie Betts Short Print. Adley Rushman Refractor. Michael Harris. Masataka Yoshida. The Pink Ohtani. The Orange JJ Bledet. The Corbin Carroll Refractor. There you go gang. I'm Joe for JoshBeesCaseBreaks.com. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with me. And I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye bye.
