 Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's Case Breaks.com. Happy Sunday coming at you with 2021 Tops Gold Label Baseball. 16 box case, full case. Pick your team number four. All cart ship just dropped last Friday. All right, there's the fresh case right there. Big thanks everybody here for getting in on the action. Appreciate it. Roy with that double last spot mojo, getting the Brewers and the Mets. There's everyone else right there. Well boys and girls, the baseball season is in the books. Crazy to think about that the regular season is over and now the stress filled post season for a lot of you. Four stacks of four right here. Good luck everybody. One framed autograph per box. That's the unique part about gold label. Yeah, that high greets me well too, poker. But I don't know if people would approve it. It does not help my motor skills. I don't think people would want me to risk their hits. There's the frame. So all card ship. Now if this is anything like previous years of gold label, there are different levels to these. Do they still do that this year? We'll find out. All right, so all card ship. No, maybe not. Oh yeah they do. They still do like class one, two and three. This one didn't have a, oh that does have a class number right there. Class one. So then there's different classes with different short prints, right? So like class three, one of ones could I think are like the shortest printed one I guess. So that's why all card ship, you'll be able to get all these cards and I think there's still quite a bit of set building that people do with the gold label. Still a fun project to build sets with. All right, there's Aaron Judge for the Yankees and Trevor Bauer for the Dodgers. Behind the frame is Chipper Jones. In front of the frame is Jordon Alvarez. And the frame is a one of one, one gone gazales. Woo, that's a nice start. Nice. Texas Rangers, Brian Crouch with Texas. And all aboard the big hit express. Woo, woo, woo. It's a good start. Next box. Yeah, a one of one. The frame right over there. Well, what's everyone's thoughts on the wild card games? Yankees, Red Sox. Who does everyone have there? That's gonna be a close one. There's a one Soto. Seems like there's some sort of like black ink on the back of that. The colors are a little hard to spot here. That's Willie Mays. That's numbered to nine out of 50. And a purple Cabrion Hayes to 99. Poor Clayton Kershaw. Walked off the mound a little early and what could be his last start. With the Dodgers. I'm sure they'll always re-sign. But if the injury is what it's feared to be, it could be kind of scary. Cabrion Hayes, nice rookie card for the Pirates Mary with that one. Willie goes to Andrew and the Giants. My rivals. I guess tip of the cap. Great season for them this year. And it's Monty Harrison. Rookie Otto for the fish. Alex with the Marlins. I think the, as of now, I think the Yankees are slight favorites. I don't know if you're into investing in baseball, then maybe a run-line situation could be a thing. Whoever has like plus one and a half runs or something like that. Poker thinks it's gonna be Atlanta versus Tampa Bay in the World Series. Yeah, that could be interesting. Yeah, baseball, it's always tough. The playoffs can be a real crapshoot. Oh, there's a red Kyle Lewis, 49 out of 50. And a red Austin Meadows to 75. I think the different classes have different, the colors are different parallels. So this Meadows is a class one. I know the print is hard to see, but that's a class one red. That's the 75. And then the Kyle Lewis is class two. So the class two red is out of 50. So a lot of layers. The frame behind Chris Bryant Cubs Edition is Dalton Varshow. Rookie Otto, gold frame for the snakes. That'll be for Sean A. And Arizona. Next, oh, the frame is right here. No one in the chat has thoughts on Red Sox Yankees. What about Cardinals Dodgers? My Dodgers? People are asking if I'm nervous about the game. Not really. I think I'm comfortable in acknowledge that crazy things can happen in a one game playoff. So I've made my peace with that. So I think not nervous. And the Dodgers finished the season pretty strong. So I'm pretty confident about that. Not saying the Dodgers are gonna blow out the Cardinals, but I feel like they're in a good position to play a great game. And if they do their thing, they should be able to move on to the next round to face the Giants. That's a series I'm nervous about. There's Austin Meadows to 75. The only thing you like about the Dodgers is Chris Taylor's from your hometown. Where is that? Yeah, I'm a big fan of Chris Taylor. I think he was a former Mariners prospect, I want to say, or came up in the Mariners organization. Didn't really kind of washed out there and got traded to the Dodgers. He kind of rebuilt his approach, his swing and everything and kind of became the player he is today. There's Hassan Kim, four out of 25. The Korean International going to Aaron Kay and the Padres. Oh, from Virginia Beach, Virginia, nice. Quarter of the way through the break. I'm framed card out over there. Rex is picking Yankees for Anthony Rizzo. So I get these black parallels, class one black parallels are parallels, but they're just not numbered. All card ship though. There's Tony Gwynne and behind Mike Trout is Trevor Rogers. Rookie autograph Trevor Rogers. He had a pretty strong season. Alex Vogel with the fish. Oh, Rick Honeycutt went to high school with your aunt, nice. Yeah, he was a really solid Dodgers pitching coach for a while. I think he had some health thing. I guess age really was just catching up with Rick Honeycutt. So I think after, I think he retired from pitching coach, Judy's a couple of years ago. Mark Pryor is the Dodgers pitching coach right now. There's the frame. But yeah, I think just kind of age caught up with him just the everyday grind of traveling really caught up with him. So I think he's like a special assistant or something like that to the GM or the front office or something. I think he traveled a little bit to like Arizona to do a little bit of scouting and whatnot. Oh, is he now retired, retired? Oliver? Just from everything? I guess that's it. I mean, it's Aaron Judge to 75. Ah, so Oliver saying that he's out doing the front office duties as well. He's a retired, retired. Yeah, pitching coach was two years ago, right? Yeah, two years ago. Well, good frame. He deserves it. He spent a lot of time in baseball just as a pro. And as a coach, there's Derek Jeter, Peter Lanzo, and Hasan Kim again. 72 out of 75, gold frame for the Padres. Aaron. Ah, there was a stadium video a couple weeks ago, got it. Hats off to Rick Honeycutt. I think he was part of those great A's teams in the 80s, right? If I'm not mistaken. He was, right? Yeah, he was part of those pretty solid pitcher fights. I remember correctly. Oh, there's a relic right there. Was he a set up guy? I thought he was a starter, but I don't, I don't, a little, a little too, too young to remember that those specifics. There's Alec Baum to 150 for the Phillies. That'll be for Howard. Let's see what the relic is all about. That's behind the crone zone. Jake Cronenworth, it's Pedro Martinez, legends relic, 12 out of 50. Red Sox, Jersey going to Chris. And the Bo Sox over here, Nolan Aronado over here is Ryan Jeffers, 23 out of 75. Twins autograph, Jared with the twins. So here's a question for you, ladies and gentlemen. So teams like the Giants were teams that were not, that just recently were just weren't playoff teams. I mean, in fact, the Giants just had pretty, pretty poor records the last few seasons. What's the team next year that will get into the playoffs next year? Like the teams have missed the playoffs this year. Let's say with a below 500 record. Which one of those teams gets into the playoffs next year? So like Toronto doesn't count because they almost got into the playoffs. They had a record well over 500. Orioles? No, probably not. Cleveland was just a couple of games under 500. Maybe. Detroit, maybe, I don't know. Detroit might be a couple of years away. Royals, Bobby Wood Jr. could carry that team. Twins, twins have got to be a, they were, they were unexpectedly, there's Kirby Puck at RIP. They were unexpectedly not good. There's Bregman to 150 for the Strohs. I mean, I didn't have any like futures plays on any of these. There's Darvish to 50. But just really thought that the twins would just be a lot more competitive this year. Yeah, Padres, that makes sense. Yeah. Is that, is that really a thing? Oliver, Bruce Bochie may go back to the Padres? Out of retirement? Come home, Bochie? And lead your old team to glory? There's Glaber Day. And the frame is Jersey and Otto Barry Larkin, 16 out of 40. Two-color Jersey and autograph. What great penmanship by the Hall of Famer. That is going to be for Cliff and the Red Legs. There you go, Cliff. Golden grapes, framed autograph, Jumbo Relic Card. That's pretty sweet. Did Bochie leave the door open for returning to management, Oliver? I don't remember how he left things. Or did he leave the door open? I suppose he's not actively looking for jobs, but if the, I guess if your old club comes calling, you know, then maybe you gotta answer that call. The Ale West, Seattle. I mean, they looked like they were, they looked like they're ahead of schedule. If those youngsters on the team, they got other youngsters coming up the pipeline. A's, but no, those teams are over 500. Angels are Rangers. I don't know, if the angels make a big pitching overhaul, that could be a team that can surprise people. Sub 500 team. Metra Sub 500 team. Yeah, if they had a healthy Cindergarde, healthy, healthy DeGrom, I think that might've been huge. Lindor started off so slow too. That's a Sub 500 team that could easily be in the playoffs. Marlins too, I think. Marlins too. They've got a great starting rotation down in Miami. Cubs were Sub 500, they're rebuilding. Pirates, I think they're still a few years away. Yeah, Padres we talked about. Rockies probably not. Arizona, they're probably, they've got, Arizona has an interesting pipeline, but I think they're probably a few years away too. I'm seeing returns on the youngsters there. Ronald Acunha to 150. Nice guy. Poker is Barry Larkin, nice dude. Used to scout minor league baseball in the national's organization. All right, the frame is Rafael Marchand. Rookie Otto for the Phillies. Globug is saying that tomorrow Mets will fire their manager and their GM. That's a Philly for Howard by the way, next box. And that's almost a certainty. Steve Cohen wants a big name hire to run baseball operations. Who is that big name hire? Get Theo Epstein out of the major league offices. I feel like Theo Epstein's working on a lot of projects in that out there. Billy Bean or Theo Epstein are the rumored names. There's Tetease Junior to 50. Are the rumored names for the front office? There's Ricky Henderson to 99. There's Shoah Ohtani, 69 out of 99. Probably your AL MVP, right? Aaron with the halos, gets the Shoah. Ricky Henderson for the A's goes to Oliver. This is a great Ricky Henderson look. The hair, that old baseball jacket right there. Classic. And there's Tetease Junior to 50. It's said that Epstein wants an ownership stake if he goes to the Mets. It's not a bad idea. And there's Zach McKinstry. Rookie Otto for the Dodgers. Great depth guy for the Dodgers, especially early in the season. David M. With my Dodgers. Poker's saying that they're gonna hire Bobby Valentine or Davey Johnson, classics. Remember when Bobby Valentine, remember when Bobby Valentine was ejected from a game? Right, and then came back with like a non-convincing like glasses and mustache combo or something like? Like he was like a Groucho Marx or something like that? Right, so yeah, Globugs reminding us, hey, Mets have an inferiority complex to the Yankees that they're trying to overcome. They wanna make a big splash. Maybe get a former Yankee great to coach the Mets Globug? Who would that be? There's Casey Meyes to 75. Get Joe Torrey out of the Major League Baseball Offices doing discipline. There's Dean Kramer for the O's. William Davis with the Orioles. Buck Showalter maybe Globugs thinking. What about a Dusty Baker? I feel like Dusty Baker's contract with Houston has not been extended or maybe it wasn't. I don't think it was a very long deal, that Dusty Baker deal. Poker is definitely joking. His previous suggestions were Bobby Valentine and Davey Johnson. I think he's having a laugh. Lenny Dykstra is a man, dude. Right, the frame. The frame behind Nolan Aronado is Haven Smith. Him along with Dalton Varshow among others are some of the youngsters coming up the ranks in the Arizona farm system, Sean, with the snakes. Oh, they may end up hiring Carlos Beltran again? That was a Cohen, was that a Cohen hire? So maybe he's just like, that's the guy I wanted anyway. One year removed from whatever. I didn't think it was, I guess maybe it was big enough deal. One year removed from all that. Hey, who won all of the counting stat awards? I actually don't think I took a look at all of that. So in the American League, Vlad Guerrero Jr. ended up with 48 home runs to lead the league. Salvador Perez, oh, tied with Sal Perez, who had 121 RBIs, wow. And then Yuli Gurriel won the AL batting title with a 319 average. No one crested the 100 hit mark. Boba Shed had 191 hits though. Who had, I think Witt Merrifield had a boatload of doubles. Yeah, Jymer Candelario, JD Martinez and Witt Merrifield crested the 40 double mark. They each had 42, they're tied for 42. Not a lot of triples guys, but Ohtani had eight triples. Badoo seven, Kevin Crimeer seven, Luis Areas. What about the national league? So in the NL, yeah, Tetease Jr. ended up with 42 home runs to lead the NL and he had played 130 games. About 15, 16 fewer than Adam DeVall who ended up with 38 home runs. Peter Londo had 37 home runs. And then Adam DeVall ended up leading the league, leading the NL with 113 RBIs followed by Austin Riley also with 107 followed by Ozzie Alves with 106. They have the top three RBI guys. Generating a lot of runs there. And Trey Turner for the Dodgers ended up winning the batting title, 328. And I think, yeah, I'm leading the majors too. Good for him. I know a lot of that was with the nationals, but I mean, he really didn't stop hitting the Dodgers as well. There's Luis Robert. Yeah, we'll look at pitching a second. Julio did get his 20 wins. There's Juan Gonzalez again, this time base version for Texas. Yeah, good comeback for Austin Riley, right? I think his first year, people were all about Austin Riley in the hobby. And then he tailed off the following year, I think, whatever that was. It all blurs together now. But yeah, had another great season. He played 160 games, hit 303, 33 home run, 107 RBI's, 33 doubles and a triple. I mean, I'll take that. I'll take that any day of the week, right? Any year. And I mean, everyone thought off without Ronald Acuna Jr., that season was sunk, but I mean, imagine them with Ronald Acuna Jr. Corbin Burns ended up winning the NL ERA title, 243. Scherzer ended up with 246. Walker Bueller 247. Brandon Woodruff 256. Zach Wheeler with a 278 ERA. Man, Zach Wheeler really had a nice season. Urias with 296. NL wins. Julio Urias with 20 wins. Wainwright had 17 this year. Wainwright turning back the clock. Even Walker Bueller at 16 wins there. Most strikeouts for the NL. Zach Wheeler 247 strikeouts to Max Scherzer's 236. Zach Wheeler had a couple extra starts though. But still, it's a lot. And these are all qualified pitchers, of course. There were four pitchers with a whip under one. Scherzer leading the NL, Corbin Burns leading the NL with 0.86. Corbin Burns with 0.94. Woodruff with 0.96. Walker Bueller with 0.97. Zach Wheeler 1.01. Julio Urias 1.02. Gossman with a pretty low one as well. A lot of low whips. Pretty impressive. That's right, I did see that. I was watching that game. Burns did sit after a couple of nings to preserve that ERA title and saw young chances. There's Zander Bogart to 1.15. That's for the Red Sox, they're moving on. Chris Walker with the Bo Sox. And the gold frame. Casey Meis and it's Edgar Martinez. Nice, five out of five. Nice. That's for Mark and the M's. Out of fives and under, get the train whistle, Mark. All aboard, the Big Head Express, woo woo. Couple boxes to go. Yeah, why doesn't Julio get more love for the Cy Young? I mean, I guess the ERA is 2.96. There's a couple of players that have better ERAs in them. What do the war numbers look like? Winds above replacement. On the AL side of things. And Julio Urias might be, is the only 20 game winner. I think Garrett Cole at 16 wins. ERA, title winner, Robbie Ray, 2.84. Next closest was Lance McCullers, 3.16. And Robbie Ray also, that's, he's gonna be your AL Cy Young. We had 248 strikeouts, a 104 whip. He's pretty good. No frame in this. Is there just a regular auto in this? Redemption, Jonathan India. Cliff with the red, this might be your, this is probably your NL rookie of the year. I think your Vegas favorite. Too good to sign his cards, I guess. He's like, I'm your presumptive NLM, your NL rookie of the year. Andrew Vaughn to 99. Sean Jeff, be pretty high on Andrew Vaughn. He's a solid prospect. Joey Bart, 83 out of 150. Maybe future Buster Posey. Yeah, it was a great turnaround for Robbie Ray. Him and Corbin Burns, I think both of them had, had really reworked, like significantly reworked all of their mechanics and all of that stuff. I think I was watching that Dodgers broadcast when Corbin Burns was pitching, and they were saying that, they were saying that Corbin Burns was previously a foreseeing fastball slider guy. It was just not very good at it. Now he's a, he's a, a cutter sinker guy? Sinker guy or something like that? Cut fastball and changeup guy or something like that. I just had, I'd completely reworked his, his, his pitch arsenal. There's a last frame right there. If I can dig up some winds above replacement numbers. But I think Robbie Ray also did like a similar, similar thing as well, just kind of rework mechanics. Yeah, sometimes I like to use winds above replacement just to get a broad overview of it. So for what it's worth, Oliver, Corbin Burns, among, among all qualified pitchers in both leagues has a 7.5 warm and Julio is at 5.0. Second is Zach Wheeler for the Philly 7.3, and then it drops considerably. Nate DiValdi 5.6, Scherzer 5.4, Garrett Cole 5.3, Walker Bueller 5.2. Interestingly, Robbie Ray has a 3.9 more, but that might be because of his 13 and seven. Win-loss record, maybe? Not exactly sure how it's calculated for pitchers. There's Ian Anderson to 99. Francisco Lindore Purple 46 out of 99. It's Tony Gwynn. I think that's just a class one black parallel. There's Cabrion Hayes. So Lindore for the M's, that goes to Roy. And Ian Anderson Braves, Matt Medlin. And the final frame behind Mike Trout is gonna be a Mariner, Evan White. Rookie Otto for the M's. M's making it really exciting down the stretch. Looks like a lot of their youngsters really looking good. They've got a lot in the pipeline too. A lot of encouraging signs for Seattle. Mark with the Mariners. There you go, everybody. That was 16 box, pick your team number four. Here's a quick little recap. So the Evan White, the five out of five Edgar Martinez. It also went to Mark. Juan Gonzalez, Pavin Smith, Dean Cramer, Zach McKinstry, Raphael Marchand, Barry Larkin, Jersey and Otto, and that was really cool. Jeffers, the Pedro Martinez, Relic. He had a couple Hassan Kims. Trevor Rogers, there's the other one. Dalton Varshow, Monty Harrison. We kicked off with a one-of-one Juan Gonzalez, which is pretty sharp. There you go, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for breaking and conversing with us. I'm Joe for jazpeascasebreaks.com. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.
