 Hi everyone, Joe for JaspiesCaseRakes.com. Happy Sunday. We're coming at you with a case of 2023 Bowman Baseball Jumbo Edition, eight box picker team number 12. All-card chip, except for paper vet and paper non-first. Prospects, everything else chips. Very big thanks to this group for making it happen. Here, thanks for spending a bit of your Sunday at night with me as well. Bill with the Cubs, last spot Mojo, there's everyone else right here as well. So if you have Bowman Jumbo 12 next name, that means you won those teams in that pack break. Now the next picker team is in the store right now, JaspiesCaseRakes.com, and we'll probably pop that into a filler after this. So if you're watching live, now is the opportunity for you to get your team straight up before they're gone. All right, good luck everybody. Now Rex has a trivia question for us. What team in year was the first Major League Baseball night game? I feel like I knew this at one point, but now I don't. I guess you're asking what home team was it, right? Who had lights first? I wanna say the Cubs were among the last teams to have a night game. Yeah, I say post-world, no, it's gotta be earlier than that, no? I wanna say it was like 30s. And it was either a very popular team or a very, or a not popular team who needed to get butts in seats during night games. I think I think about what teams existed in the 1930s. I say gotta be an East Coast team. I don't think it was Fenway. One of the first teams in Major League Baseball history, the Reds, Cardinals, a Red team? Is it a Red team, Rex? All right, so I'm gonna breeze through this paper as quickly as possible. We'll stop for some of the top tier guys that we wanna take though. Here's Carlos Jorge for the Reds, 394 out of 499. It was the Reds. And we'll do an autograph recap at the end too. I say, so it's Reds, 1939. The Reds were the Red Stockings originally? I guess they were. And what about the Reds? And Red Sox were just Red Sox? The Cincinnati Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies two on a May 24, 1935 in Major League Baseball's first ever night game. Curse of the recently installed lights at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, there you go. And who was the last team to have a night game? Was that the Cubs at Wrigley? I don't think they installed lights until much later. And here's Shay Whitcomb, Astros. That's for Jordan, who won that team in the filler. And we got a blue shimmer, Joshua Baez, that's to 150. Here's our first Drew Jones paper. Drew Jones, Spencer Jones, Justin Crawford. Well, Edward Julian, Cam Collier are among the key youngsters. But listen, that's just for now. It's really worth kind of holding on to all these guys and seeing if they turn into anything in the future. Like Andrew Painter, 91 out of 150. Here's Cam Collier, Justin Crawford. And a purple paper, Gavin Cross, 48 out of 199. The ninth overall pick, Gilo is a royalist fan. What can you tell us about Gavin Cross? Do you have any additional information on him? Yeah, the Cubs in 1988, the first night game. I can't believe there were, it was just day games all the time for the Cubs, up until the late 80s. Plot twist, when was the first day game? I don't know, when was the first official Major League Baseball game? 1890 something? There's Jorge Burgos, Cleveland, this is for you. James with the Cleveland Guardians. Nice purple chrome auto. Gavin Cross' top end looked good in spring training. All right, for whatever that's worth. It's good to hear. Might be a future teammate of this guy right here, Bobby Wood Jr. Oh yeah, Wrigley was home to the Bears for many years. We've got Juan Brito, Aqua Lunar Parallel, 84 out of 125, you can see the craters of the moon up there. Rockies, that's for Chris. One that's spot in the filler. So there's a Spencer Jones for the Yankees, that's gonna go to Oren, who got the Yankees straight up. Which I love, and Stephen Carney also got the twins straight up. You will find some numbered cards of these guys, maybe some autos. All right, so there's our first three autographs. Here's Justin Crawford for Neil and the Phillies. Onwards. Well, what happened in baseball today, ladies and gentlemen? Let's, we can whip around the league while I rip open some packs. Let's see, the Braves beat the Orioles Michael Harris single. Phillies, Braves beat the Orioles 3-2 in the 12. Phillies beat the Red Sox, six to one. Shorber and Walker lead Phillies over Buss and stopping their losing streak at six. And stopping the Red Sox winning streak, I think at eight. Blue Jays, pounded on the Pirates, 10-1. Whitten Maryfield with four RBI's. And the Mets fall to under 500 as Doyle lifts the Rockies to a 13-6 win. Doyle. Brent Doyle went three for five today, three RBI's. Garrett Cole laced a six-run lead, raised beat the Yankees 8-7 in 10 innings. Salvador Perez homers and Royals avoid a sweep and a 5-1 win over the A's. Cardinals waging up a little bit, Goltzmit, three home runs. Cardinals in an eight-game streak and beat the Tigers 12-6. I think I saw somewhere that all three of Paul Goltzmit's home runs were like well over 400 feet. Cardinals beat the Tigers 12-6. In 14 innings, Marlins beat the Cubs 5-4. Rourges beat the Giants 7-3. Ending their six-game losing streak. Rangers beat up on the Angels 16-8. Tavares and Garcia powering the Rangers. White Sox beat the Red 17-4. White Sox scored 11 runs in the second, wow. Hanser Alberto, former Dodger, I think. Four hits, career high, four RBI's. Mariners beat the Astros 3-1. Nationals beat the Dimebacks 9-8. Manessus, homer in the ninth. And the Dodgers in an exciting one. Mookie Betts hit a game tying home run in the ninth and then James Altman with a three-run jack. A little bit later on to give the Dodgers the win, eventually a two-run jack. James Altman, is that? We have an early rookie of the year, NL rookie of the year, possibly there, James Altman. And here is Fraley and Carnassione, gold shimmer, 33 out of 50 for the Red Sox. It's gonna be for Bryant, won the Red Sox in the filler. It's not that the Mets pitching staff would be better. I think they were counting on some older pitchers to come through, right? Although it's not like if keeping Jacob DeGramme would have helped either. Oh, Joe specific trivia, all right. Shoot. Jackson Holiday to 250. Purple Chrome for the Orioles, that'll be for Jordan. Holiday. All right, here's a Chrome Cam Collier. Or Collier, perhaps, not sure, Mark, but that one's for you and the Red Legs. And we've got a sky blue paper to 4.99, Ronald Acuna Jr. That's for Aaron and the Atlanta Braves. Who has the most home runs for the Dodgers? That's a very good question. I wanna say it is either Duke Snyder or Eric Carrolls. Here's Nelson Rada to 1.99. Angels, that's gonna be for Tristan. Cam Collier, Spencer Jones-Crone. We'll save a James Altman for the Dodgers. And there's a Tim Toa. Gil Hodges would be my other guess. It is Duke Snyder, 3.89. And then Eric Carrolls, maybe? Is he third on that list? Maybe 2.80 something, 2.90 something. Michael Golder with the Diamondbacks gets the Tim Tawa. And Mark Wasett with the James Altman rookie card. I'd like to know, hey, everyone look up your team, your favorite team. Who's their home run leader? Like for Rex as a Cubs fan, Rex, who is the Cubs home run leader? I don't know. I'm not sure if Sammy Sosa played on the Cubs long enough to have the Cubs all-time home run record. Could it be like Ron Santos? Carrolls is 2.70. Could it be, yeah, I don't know. Who would have the all-time Cubs home run record? I don't know, who else is in the chat? Gabe was in the chat. Gilo is a Royals fan. Who's the all-time home run record holder for the Kansas City Royals? Here's Abel Bastides to 3.99, Lyme Paper for the Tigers. That's gonna be for Brian Heyman. Yeah, tell me who your favorite team is. Tell me who their home run leader is. Is it Sosa? I guess Sosa did Sosa. Man, I guess, I feel like I thought he played for like other teams, and maybe he spent his entire time with the Cubs. There's Leovo Puguedo, 88 out of 150. Rookie of the Year favorites autograph. That's for Aaron and the Pirates. Yeah, someday. Easy notes. Is it Ryan Braun for the Brewers? 352 home runs? George Brett, duh, that makes sense. Royals, George Brett, 370 home runs. And then Salvador Perez is second. Royals didn't have a 40 homer season up until a few years ago. Wow. You would have figured someone in the... Yeah, no, I guess maybe not. I was gonna say, there probably had to be someone in the mid-90s to early 2000s that got like, I don't know, that knocked out a 250 or 300 home runs career with the Royals, but... I guess Royals were committed to not a... I guess Royals were committed to not getting steroids, guys, on their teams in the 90s. That's right, I guess. In my head, Sosa didn't play that long with the Cubs, but I guess he did 13 seasons. Royals Park is big, though. That didn't affect George Brett, though. Next jumbo box, good luck. Just Gilo, Rex, and Easy Note in the chat, huh? No one else wants to hang out with us. All right, no one else is interested in telling me who their favorite team is and who has the most home runs on their favorite team. Here's Jorge Ruiz. Who do you think has the most home runs on the Angels? You think Mike Trout already has that record? Trying to think of other home run hitters on the Angels that were with the Angels long enough to have the team record. It might be Trout already. It might be Trout already. I was gonna say Reggie Jackson, too, but I don't think he played for the Angels long enough to amass any kind of home run record. I don't have the answer. I don't have the numbers in front of me. I'll look it up later, but. We got Myroschendric Martinez, Purple Lunar to 199. That'll be for Mark and the Dodgers. It is Trout with three, he already has 350 home runs. How many seasons do you think he's misdue to injury over his career? You think it's two, maybe? I mean, that's possibly another hundred home runs between two seasons, right? And we got 100 green in pink to 175 for Mark and the Reds. I mean, that's actually really godly, right? Gilo's saying, yeah, those are Trout numbers. Like, it kind of just feels weird when you're actually in it and you don't really notice. Excuse me. I'm getting a little cold here now. Excuse me. Sort of like, I don't know, how do I describe it? It's like, if you have a friend that you see every day for years and your friend becomes fat, you don't really notice it because you're kind of seeing it in real nice. Jacob Barry, green grass autographs, anyone out of 99. You don't realize in real time, but if you have a friend that you hadn't seen in years and your friend got over it, then you're like, oh, man, you packed on some pounds or vice versa if they're losing a lot of weight. That goes to the Marlins, Mike Tower. There you go, Mike. I feel like that's kind of the Trout effect. Like, while this is all this is happening in real time, he's kind of normalized what he has done from year to year. So it just, I feel like just kind of take it for granted, I guess is really the best way to put it. But then when you step back a little bit, especially when, wait till he starts hitting milestones, when it's like fastest player to hit this many home runs, fastest player to do this, fast player to do that. So, you know, once we start seeing that, then I feel like then it'll start really coming into perspective. Correct, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like kids too. You won't, if you don't see your friend's kids for a while or relative or something that hasn't seen, seen the kids in a year or two, you know, they grow up fast. George Brett hit 317 home runs in 20 seasons and Trout has hit 350 in 11 seasons. If you back out a couple, if you back out a couple injury plague seasons and you fill them with home runs for Mike Trout, it's like, you know, that guy might, might make a serious run at the, at the all time home run title, like legitimately, which is like kind of crazy to think about, but there are nice Yendri Rojas and Victor Autograph, five out of 99 for the Friars. That's gonna be for Matt, won the Padres in the filler. And the wrinkled out of that penny sleeve there. Does that mean bonus autograph or is that the third? And we've got Jorge Burgos to 199, Purple Lunar for the Guardians, that's for James. Those are just standard three autographs. What about pitchers? Who has the most wins on your favorite team? I kind of think who has the most wins on the Dodgers. Drysdale made Don Drysdale perhaps? Coltax didn't play long enough. I think even Kershaw's still behind on wins. Tonight, when Rex walked into work, it was officially your 23rd anniversary with Kroger. Imagine how many cases of product you stocked in that time. And we could probably do the math. How many cases do you generally stock a night? Oh, it was numbered to 125, Jackson Holiday, nice. 59 out of 125, I like this insert. This is for Jordan and the Orioles. We got a Matt Mervis made his debut recently to 499, that's for Bill Macy and the Cubs. Last spot, Mojo. See if we can find some of his ink in here somewhere. We've got Brooks Lee, 26 out of 100. I wonder how many guys with the last name Dunn have the name Brooks. The old country Brooks and Dunn. Paul Splittorf, Spleytorf for the Royals has the wins. Yeah, pitcher wins are a little weird. It really is dependent on the runs the team can give you, which I think it sort of feels like sort of an outdated stat in like fantasy baseball. Oh, your fantasy baseball uses quality starts in place of wins. Yeah, I was just going to ask what some of your fantasy leagues do. We still do traditional wins. And we still do traditional wins, but we did a few years, maybe two or three years. We tried to do, what do we try to do? It was a weird stat that we tried to use. There's Jason Curio, purple ray wave. I think it was wins minus losses or something weird like that. Didn't last very long in the league. So it was like weird because then it was like people would end up with odd numbers for that. I think the idea was it was to punish pitchers who may get an extraordinary amount of run support and vice versa. Brock Jones, the Brock lobster going to the raise. Oran. Maybe I'll pitch the idea of quality starts in my league. Yeah, like for example, Josiah Gray, former Dodger prospect who I have in my fantasy teams with the Nationals now, has been for a few years. It's kind of having a breakout season, but I think he's like one in five or something like that. So if you just use wins losses, like a lot of casuals will do, they'll be like, well, he sucks. He's like, well, actually, he doesn't. I think our league kicked around the idea of holds at 1.2. I've been in leagues with holds. I actually ended up never liking them because it's like I don't want to have to pay attention to random middle relievers who are getting holds. It's already hard enough to find closers. But you use hold in addition to saves. I mean, who's the best holds guy in Major League Baseball right now? Maybe a Dodgers reliever. Ooh, look what's coming up. We've got Brandon Crawford to 2.99. Magenta paper for the Giants. That's going to go to James. We've got Justin Crawford, Carl Crawford's kid for the Phillies that goes to Neil. And a blue lunar autograph of Drew Jones. 102 out of 150 to the moon. Michael Golder with the Arizona Dimebacks. He bought the dimeback straight up. That is nice. I have to admit, I kind of like that lunar parallel. Those are three autographs. Let's see what else we have here at the end. And then we'll get into the second half of this case. It's Marcelo Meijer speckled 2.99 for Brian and the Red Sox. There's Edouard Julian and the Netherlands national anthem real long. So after every F1 race, you're listening to this really long thing whenever first stop is on the podium here. All right, four boxes down. Four boxes to go. Now having Darvish one year on the cuff. Had a ton of Ks, but just often couldn't get him run. Yeah. Was you Darvish number one on the rotation recs that year? Sneaking in a middle reliever at the end of the week and squeak by a win. See, that's, I don't know. Isn't that kind of BS though, Jilo? Are you feeling good about the fact that you got some random dude who got two holds at the end of the week as you win the week? You feel good about that? You can sleep at night as a self-respecting fantasy baseball manager? Yeah, because I was going to say, Rex, generally, if you're at the top of the rotation, you're facing other teams top of the rotations. So your players are facing the better pitchers. I know Kershaw ran into that a lot in some years. Guys just couldn't score runs for Clayton Kershaw. So Jilo, now that I'm curious, what are your offensive, your hitting and pitching stats categories? So what are you using? And so weekly league too, huh? I'm not sure if I like that. I've tried weekly that didn't do it for me. I think weekly is really nice just for obvious reasons, really nice for football, the NFL. But I feel like just baseball doesn't work as nicely. But I think a lot of people still must be in weekly leagues because I'll look at like fantasy baseball. I'll see fantasy baseball, read articles or podcasts. And they'll still talk about pitchers who have two starts in a week for weekly leagues. So I guess people must be doing it. There's Blaze Jordan to 125, Aqua Shimmer, 40 out of 125. Got another Cam Collier and a Drew Jones. Cam Collier going to Mark, Drew Jones going to Michael. Everything is default except for quality starts and holds. I don't remember what holds were placed. So ERA, whip, strikeouts, ERA, whip, strikeouts, quality starts, save holds. And we got a Dylan Frias, 81 out of 150, blue chrome autograph for James. Cleveland, this is for you. Average runs, RBIs, stolen bases. Is there more? OPS, OBB, both. Another Lunar, Edward, Julian. Those Lunars aren't numbered. We use OPS, I can't remember that's default. And there's Oscar Colas, pink paper to 175, the pink paper. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. What do we, what do I use here? I'll look at that when I'm ripping open the next. Let's finish this. We should be looking for two more autographs. We got Damon Keek, Dodger's autograph for Mark Bassett. Not so smart question, what's the difference between OPS and OBB? OBB's just regular on base percentage. I think OPS is slugging your slugging number plus your on base number and you add those together. Just kind of a quick overview way of seeing how a player does. So for example, all right, Giancarlo Stan's lifetime OPS is 890. I think anywhere between like, I guess 700 to, is it 700, would you say? I don't know, what does everyone think? 700 is pretty elite. I mean, a thousand is elite level. Just power and ability to get on base. 890 is really good lifetime for Giancarlo Stan. All right, Salvador Perez, 764, that's pretty good for a catcher. Tyler Fedko, 200 out of 499. Twins, refractor autograph for Stephen Kearney. You got a Greengrass, William Bergola, 64 out of 99. Yeah, 700 plus is probably good, right? That's kind of what you want to see. And some players get it because they got a great walk rate, so they're on base a lot. Some guys get it because they're slugging percentages higher just because they're slugging more, they're getting more extra base hits. Yeah, I like OPS. It's a nice, complete kind of overview sort of stat. Rewards, you know, especially in fantasy baseball, rewards kind of like guys who walk plus the doubles, triples guys, but maybe not necessarily homerun guys. So my 16 team keeper, Auction League, a lot of smart baseball guys in this group. We use batting average, I need to work on that. I am not even middle of the pack on batting average. Home runs, I'm second place on home runs. OPS, I'm at 752, the leader, it's 806. I need to do work on that. We have a runs produced category, which I think is runs scored plus RBIs minus home run. I don't know why we do that. It's a fine stat, but I think the idea was we didn't want to use just straight runs and RBIs, because that's kind of a, I guess sort of old-fashioned stats, but I think runs produced is runs plus RBIs and backs out home runs. Maybe has a way to reward just the non-home run hitters. And then stolen bases. And then pitching is ERA, K's, saves and wins and whip, pretty standard. I need to work on average in my overall OPS. You're thinking, Joe, if you're in second place and home runs, why is your OPS so low? Yeah, that's a problem. That's a problem. A lot of home run hitting dudes who are not doing anything else otherwise. I need that OPS, G-Lo. I need that for at least a couple of weeks to get me back towards the top half. I'm still third in the league, but those are my areas of where I need to improve. And I just need to get into the playoffs. We have a month-long Roto playoff. All right, next box, good luck. We've got Ryan Clifford, Houston Astros, that'll be for Jordan. There's a mushrooms documentary. I'm gonna watch that later. I'm gonna watch some golf, even though I watched a lot of that today. Who would you, what would you rather have? A guy that hits bombs but never singles or the guy that always singles but never hits bombs? I mean, if it's just one guy, I'd rather have a guy that hits singles all day long. And they can always find a couple guys that can hit bombs. I mean, that's sort of an odd question because it's as if I can only have one player, one type of player, so bets to 175. It's 153 out of 299, speck a lot of graph. I mean, if you're constructing a baseball team, you need a little bit of all that. If you add a bunch of guys that all they do is hit singles at the top of the lineup, then in the third or fourth spot, have the guy that hits bombs, there's Ronnie Simon to 499 for the raise, that'll be for Orin. Yeah, otherwise, you end up like Gilo's Royal, singles and never bombs, world to world series motto. I guess that could work too. You're asking because there are people that don't like certain players because all they do is hit home runs. That's sort of a weird take for those people. Why would that matter? I mean, if your entire team was like that, then I guess that's a problem. You know, I mean, you gotta have a better balanced team. Oh, like Schorber, it's all or nothing with that? I mean, what do they want everyone to be? They want everyone to be 300 hitters and hit a modest amount of home runs. Just wants you to perfectly balance player, otherwise they won't be happy. You're niche Valdez to 499. It's an odd argument, isn't it? But I suppose if they're talking about, I don't know, if they want like a favorite player, yeah, I mean, everyone likes different styles of players. I mean, I don't mind Kyle Schroer. Everyone needs a, could use a Kyle Schroer type player. Here's 399 Lava, Daniel Guilarte, for the Brew Crew, that'll be for Nick and the Brewers. Here's Daniel Guilarte, 24 out of 150. Blue paper for the Brewers, that'll be for Nick. Yeah, that guy gets me thinking. It's like, I don't know if I would dislike Schorber just because it's all or nothing. Especially nowadays, it's like, that's who he's been. So, I don't know, it just feels weird criticizing him for that or actively disliking him for that. It's not gonna change. I don't know, I don't know if I break it down like that. What do I admire in my players? The players that I tend to like. I like players who are clutch. I think players who are clutch, who can perform in a disadvantageous position and they could battle back from that or make a high pressure shot or a hit or a pitch or something like that. I like that a lot. It generally requires a level of mental toughness. I'm watching some golf here, which is why I think golf is so great. Because of the, obviously you have to have the physical talent to swing and hit a ball that the mental toughness to continue that, I think is important. It'd be interesting to see the Cardinals explore a contrast in the outfield and it works. I mean, Schorber was a catcher. It seems like when most players are catchers, they don't ever move anywhere else. I don't know if that's entirely true. They moved Buster Posey off of catching and moved him to first. You could even argue that the twins kept Joe Maurer at catcher too long before they had him play first more. Closer Kenley Janssen started his career as a catcher before they converted him to a pitcher. Craig Bizio, hall of famer Craig Bizio started as a second baseman or as a catcher before they moved him to second base. I feel like catching is the position that players move off of more commonly. Here's Colby Thomas for the A's, that's for Alan Murdoch, because I think catching is such a, especially if you were a decent hitter. Catching is such a physically grueling position that oftentimes you're moving those guys off of catching whenever you can. I mean, Salvador, the DH is gonna help a lot with that too. Sometimes players are just blocked. Some catchers are just blocked by other players in other positions. But the DH, the universal DH, I think is gonna help a lot of catchers be able to slide into a DH spot. There's Wilson Trez. Preserve their legs. It never goes the other way though. I mean, you're never gonna see a short stop turn into a catcher and outfield turn into a catcher, right? So it's making some angry the cards. They have three catches on the roster now. Do they really? There's Vaughn Brown. I like what he's doing with the V there. 61 and 75, I hope he makes it. So that'd be cool to see in future sets. That's gonna go to James and the Giant Peach. James and the Giants. There's Michelle Dacin to 4.99 for Jordan and the Orioles. Alex Gordon, Gilo's favorite player because of his clutchness. Yeah, I think that matters. All-Aaron Drew-Jones. I mean, I don't think is Neiser supposed to be Andrew Neisner? Kniser? Neisner is the Case Island, like Knife? I don't think he's supposed to be up for very long though, right? So Oscar Coloss, Green Paper to 4.99. It'll be for James and the White Sox. It really all depends on where they're playing. I mean, Facebook more and more seems to be a lot more flexible in positions. There's a lot more like basketball, a lot of positional flexibility. Point guards can play multiple positions. Centers can play as point guards nowadays. They can bring the ball up. We're seeing that a lot with baseball these days too. Yeah, the Royals have three catchers, right? But MJ Melendez is playing the outfield or outfield more. All right, I suppose it just depends on how they deploy all those catchers. If you think about it, Wilson Contreras, if he's considered a regular DH now, then they were technically only have two catchers on the roster, right? Those Cardinals fans shouldn't be complaining. There's Vaughn Brown again, Refractor Autograph. Might be building a rainbow here, James. They're going cool auto. Ah, I see, they might keep Neisner up a little bit longer. Well, guess what? Contreras doesn't play catching right now. He's a DH now. Kyle Harrison neck. Well, it won't be in this box. We've pulled our three. We have three more autos in the last box. Yeah, well, I think the Cardinals are, here's Jayce Young, Josh's brother. I think the Cardinals have been spoiled for a long time with elite catching that they could just pencil in from season to season, year to year. And now they realize, oh, wait a second. We're not used to this. What's going on here? Why isn't this guy calling perfect games and just managing the defense just magically? Final box coming up. I mean, yeah, it's not easy to replace a guy like Yadir Molina, both in the clubhouse and on the diamond. So now it just looks like they're just kind of making knee-jerk reactions, especially if they're since they're not playing good baseball either. Like, it's the pitching staff, so that's the catcher's fault. I feel like they almost, I think they almost made it to, I don't know, I think they kind of was like, oh, we lost Yadir Molina. Let's get the first free agent catcher on the market and bring them in without really thinking about what his fit on that team's gonna be. And admittedly, I think that's what a lot of people will be like, well, Cardinals need a catcher, Wilson can dress. You know, it's kind of what everyone said. Maybe they would have been better off just kind of slowly bringing up a young defensive catcher. You know, if that's really what they wanted their identity to be, you know, Wilson Naturas is a, you know, above average defensive catcher, but he's no Yadir Molina. LBC for real, what's going on in the Twitch stream. Goes to show that one guy really can, yeah, especially if you're a Hall of Fame catcher that's handling your pitching staff every single day. I think in baseball, that's probably really, especially if you have a catcher like Yadir Molina who's controlling an entire staff. I think that argument really, generally speaking, goes down to the catcher in a lot of teams. Nah, you can still win without a catcher, but, but I think the Giants, San Francisco Giants has had a lot of, a lot of trouble with their catching spot. Ever since Buster Posey left the organization, who was a leader, a leader on and off the field and being able to manage the pitching staff. There's a glider Figuero for Texas. That'll be for Jason. So yeah, I think that's, I think the catching position could be that important, especially if you rely on that catcher there. Can I name the other two Molina brothers? I should be able to, but with all these other names flashing ahead of me right now, I have to admit, I can't think of it off the top of my head. LBC for real loved all the Molinas. Yadir, Javier Molina? Is a Javier in there somewhere? Ah, Jose Molina and Benji, that's right, Benji Molina. Were they all catchers? One played for the Angles, was it Benji that played for the Angels for a while? Did one play with the Padres for a while? And there's Juan Cerella, purple chrome autograph for the Yankees, that's gonna go to Orin. There's Randy De Jesus for the Helos, to 75, Yellow Lunar, Tristan and the Angels. Almost done, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for hanging with me. I appreciate the company, especially in a longer break like this. I keep thinking that I kind of see the gold of a super refractor or something like that. I'm eager to see one, I haven't pulled one of a super refractor yet. We've got Eric Brown Jr., purple paper, 250. He expecting one more autograph out of here too. Oh, we were, now that we got some people on the chat here, who is, now that Yadir Molina is gone, I think Rex was actually in this question earlier today. Now that Yadir is retired, who is currently, I don't have an answer, but who is currently the best defensive catcher in Major League Baseball right now? J Gates, what's going on? Oh, LBC for real, watch to the end of this break. After I do the recap, you'll see what the biggest hit of this break was. It's called a T's, ladies and gentlemen. It's professional T's right there. And Andres Mesa, 127 out of 2.99. Speckle autograph for the Rangers. That's gonna be for Jason. Have I pulled a pearl pack out of hobby yet? I've not done a single case of hobby. J Gates has seven minor league teams around you. Nice, good for you. Is that, has that stumped everybody? No one's, no one has a thought on who takes the mantle of best defensive catcher in Major League Baseball right now? LBC was saying Logan O'Hop for the Angels was looking very good. Went down with an injury, I know. I had him on my fantasy team. I had a nice little rotation between him and Cal Raleigh. Now I'm stuck with Cal Raleigh, who can hit the homer but kills me on average. It's Corey Seager, Green Paper to 3.99. Edward Julian for Minnesota. We did find our third three autographs out of here. So we're looking for parallels. Jefferson Orojas, 92 out of 125. Rushman, yeah, is I think, I think Rushman can call a decent game, right? I think a lot of the shine is on, there he is. I think a lot of the shine is on how well he can hit, you know, but I think maybe his catching might be underrated. But yeah, maybe the question is not as clear. Maybe the answer is not as clear. Maybe there's no clear cut. Who's the next, who's the best defensive? I don't know if I have a guy, to be honest with you. Best defensive catcher? I don't know, it might be some, just some light hitting catcher on some team. Who can frames, frames the pitch pretty, like who's throwing out guys a lot? I was gonna say Austin Barnes, but Dodgers catchers have a hard time. My Dodgers have a hard time throwing guys out, but they call good games, so. James is sticking with Sean Murphy. It's not a bad, not a bad one. All right, recap for 2023 Bowman baseball, Jumbo edition, eight box, pick your team number 12. Pretty solid break, a lot of nice color, a lot of nice autographs, a lot of nice ink. We got that nice Jacob Berry. We got the Paguerro Rookie of the Year favorites autograph. And we got a nice blue lunar Drew Jones on card autograph 102 out of 150. There you go, LBC for real. This is the big hit of the break. Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? There you go, gladiator. There you go, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Joe for Jasper's CaseBreaks.com. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. Thanks for keeping me company through this long break. And I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.
