 Hi everyone, Joe for Jazky's Case, Brakes.com, coming at you with a big one here, 2023 Tops Allen and Ginter Baseball, 12 boxes. Pick your team at number 5. Any non-baseball cards go to the non-baseball spot. There you go. We gave you a whole list. It's a pretty pricey spot too. Big thanks everybody here for making this happen. Appreciate you on a Wednesday, the 27th. There we go. Capola with triple last-bond mojo. Guardians, Marlins and Twins. There's everybody right there. Thanks everyone for getting in for making this break happen. Alright, so this is a long break, no way around it, so just settle in and enjoy the quirkiness of Allen and Ginter. So we're looking for any of these three cards, autograph, relics, rip cards, printing plates and book cards. A lot of random stuff there, but let's get on with it. Yeah, this is about an hour and a half. I'm gonna put that box top right up there for a second. I'm gonna watch out for the mini cards in there. I think all cards ship though. Let's whip around the league here. The Brewers beat the Cardinals 3-2. Twins beat the A's 6-4. There's no playoff implications there. There are playoff implications here. Marlins beat the Mets 4-2 in the second game of the doubleheader. Cubs lost to the Braves 6-5 in extras. Blue Jays got shut out by the Yankees. Phillies beat the Pirate 7-6. Tigers-Royals game were suspended. I don't think they might not even make that up. There's no playoff implications there. Orioles beat the Nationals. Orioles trying to hang on to the Division. Razor chasing them. They beat the Red Sox 5-0. Guardians beat the Reds 4-3 and then Mets in the early game, game 1 of the doubleheader. Beat the Marlins 11-2. Maybe that's a wash. Diamondbacks beat the White Sox 3-0. Padres and Giants are tied at 2 in the top of the 7th. This game has huge playoff implications. Astros at Marlins. Astros at Mariners. Top of the 5th. Astros ahead by a run and they've got runners on the corners with two outs. I wonder if MLB Network has that game. I'm watching Ryder Cup coverage here, but I think MLB Network does have Astros at Mariners. Nice. So this has playoff, huge playoff implications. Both teams are fighting for the same wild card spot. Rangers kind of pulled away in that AL West race. So they're up 2-0 on the Angels. Top of the 7th. And my Dodger is hopping 9th up 8-2 on the Rockies. So that's the whip around the league. So Grizzlybees, what's up? You ripped a single rip card yesterday and you got an out of 10 red auto of the pickleball lady. Pickleball lady? What pickleball lady? The lady that invented pickleball in like the 60s or 70s? Champion, girl and boy. There is Mini Steve Garvey. And this is for the non-baseball spot obviously. What do we got here? By any other name, the Allen K. Bahamas. Nice. Music to your ears, the liar. I've never played one of these. I do play a little music. I've never played a liar. There's Bobby Dabit, piece of the relic, piece of the jersey going to. I could pull up. No, no lie. No lie. There is the Barn Owl. I'm a fan of the Barn Owl. Barn Owl is pretty cool. There is the unassisted triple play. And we've got Adam Lefko. Oswald Paraza Mini, Spikeball. I heard that sport is growing in popularity. Maybe not like pickleball, but I think it's there. This guy's the vibe king. Take his word for it. There's the buzzer. It's a nice bird. We got a Babe Ruth black border. Not numbered. Pretty cool though. Francisco Alvarez, Rookie Mini, and the ukulele. I have played the ukulele. That's a fun little instrument. 89 out of 199, the Xander Bogarts. We're going to send that off to Cassandra and the Padres. Cassandra, let us know if you end up ripping it or keeping it. There's like a little notch right there. You peel that tab off and carefully open it up. There will be a mini card about that size right there inside. What do we have here? Saved room for dessert. Ah, the creme brulee. Everyone like the creme brulee? I don't mind the creme brulee. I don't mind a little tanning. Get a decent bit of color. It's always good. There's ermsy. Always wear the sunscreen though. There's Oscar Colas Mini. Yeah, you got to have a black coffee with your creme brulee. Here's any other mighty raptor here. Secretary bird. Maglia Ordonez, the Libertor. Sometimes in past years they would often hand number those mini cards. I've played these, the clavis. Venice, Italy. I've never been here, would like to someday. Never been to Italy. The only place I've been to in Europe is Spain. There's the mighty California Condor. Mindy Bell Mini. We've got a Denard Choulet's Robinson relic going to the non-baseball spot that goes to Mark. Brooklyn backs 25 but the no number getting their backs are 50 but a lot are not numbered are they? We'll keep an eye on them. We'll keep an eye on all that stuff. Believe it or not, never been surfing. I've been boogie boarding. I've been, I guess, body surfing. That's really a thing without any gear. But not proper surfing on a board. A bodhran. I don't know if I've ever played that. Maybe some kind of similar type of instrument but we have only in New York the numbers out there. And then we've got the Osprey which is I think the name of a some sort of military aircraft that might, that I think, is that the one where it goes from helicopter to propeller plane. They're prone to a lot of accidents. We have Mike Trout, box topper. Angels. That's going to be for David M. There's probably autographed possibilities for these guys too. All right, next box. Grizzleby's once touched the Pacific Ocean with your big toe. Never surfing either. I think I lack the core string. So now what does the wild card race look like now? So with the win, the Diamondbacks are two games ahead of the Marlins and Cubs who are tied. Reds are a game and a half back. So right now the Cubs and Marlins are tied for the third wild card spot. Dimebacks have put a little distance between themselves and the three teams that are fighting for one spot. Marlins, Cubs and Reds are fighting for the final wild card spot. I suppose if the Diamondbacks drop a couple games and then the other guys win a couple games, they may, you know, they may slip out of that second spot and into a third spot and someone might leapfrog into the second spot. But you know, but Reds are kind of still in it too. They're one and a half games back. Did they play today? Yes, they lost today. So that was actually a big loss for them too. So this might come down to the last, this might come down to the last game of the, of the season. Yeah, we'll check on the AL in just a second too. But I think the, the Diamondbacks at Chicago and then three games against Houston. That's it. Marlins at New York and then at Pittsburgh, the final three games. That's it, four games. The Cubs, one more game against the Braves tomorrow and then at Milwaukee. I'm sure who would, division rivals would love to spoil the Cubs' chances. Reds next three only, they only have three games left at St. Louis final series. St. Louis can play spoiler there. Right. And then in the, in the AL wildcard race, the Blue Jays are currently still a game ahead of the Astros. So they still have a wild, they, even though they lost two in a row, they still have the second wildcard spot. And the Astros are only a half game ahead of the Mariners for the third and final wildcard spot. Mariners need a win. Astros are currently up four three, top of the sixth. No, it's all good. I got, I got you Duncan. I got the score right there. Got the game on in the background. What do you got? Only in Kansas City, the Fountains. Apparently more Fountains per capita than any other city in the world, including Rome. Barrios Mini, the great horn owl, another great bird. And there is this guy, Eric Stone Street. Who's, who's Eric Stone Street? Not familiar with this gentleman here. Snorkeling. I have been snorkeling. I've been snorkeling off the, off the island of Catalina. I snorkeled amongst kelp and seen our California state fish, the Garibaldi. There's John DiMaggio, great, great act voice actor here, namely Bender of Futurama. That guy I know. Who do I have the Caleb Williams Bowl? Is there a Caleb Williams Bowl this Sunday? I have Caleb Williams. I have played the violin before, not well, but I have. My sister played the violin as a kid, so I fiddled around with that. Only in Chicago, the Ivy. Oh, the Bears versus Broncos. Gosh, Golden Eagle. Imagine if that game ties James, like that's how bad those teams are. I mean, both teams do not look good. I mean, I don't even know. Caleb Williams might go back to college for another year, James, if it ends up being Bears or Broncos. I have enjoyed a pina colada and dancing in the rain. If you like pina coladas, I have been to Yellowstone, beautiful place, even though it's on top of a caldera, which, once that goes, human civilization, as we know, it has done those. All right, we've got this person here, Fred Curley, your world 100 meter champion. Fixed. Sometimes that card slides around in that frame. That's going to go to the non-baseball spot. Mark Pset. There's the vulture. It's a T.S. Junior. There is DMC. I have played the bongos and some, oh, some international delights, some Caio Pinto. I feel like I've had a variation of that at some point in my life. It's Gabriel Moreno mini. Beach soccer. I've done beach soccer. Very exhausting. Very exhausting. You're tired after after a few, after a few minutes. There is the sparrow hawk. I'd collect that bird set. We've got Tim Hudson for the A's. Sarah Lange's battling ALS. Really, really, really sad, but she's battling. She's battling. She started off as just like a baseball nerd, like stat girl, on Twitter. And then I started hearing her on like the baseball tonight podcast with Buster Olney. And then she started doing, she was on like panels at MLB Network. So quite, quite a career for her. John with the blue jays gets the bachette relic. But real sad that she's still really young too. Hart, have that played a harp? I've played a harp before. Not been to Petra. This is the place where I want to go. We named the dog Indiana. A lot of fun memories of that dog. Now's in the movie. Got a little mini Cory Lee. Is ALS Lou Gehrig's disease? I think so. I've never been wakeboarding. Never been wakeboarding. That sounds like fun though. It's where you lose your, you lose like motor functions over, over a quick period of time. Yeah, it is also known as Lou Gehrig's rare neurological disease that affects motor neurons. Those nerve cells in the brain, spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. Yeah, I think she said she started noticing it when she was on podcast or something like that. And she was like, she suddenly had some trouble saying some, some words at some certain time. There's Aaron Judge. I think she's, I mean, it's fast too. I think it's kind of, it's kind of scary. I think she's already, she may already be in a wheelchair, I think. I think she was only diagnosed maybe a year or two ago. Is Sarah Lange's even 30? I don't know if she has a Wikipedia page. I don't think she might not even be 30. The Fantasy Focus podcast, that's a classic. That was when, like with Matthew Berry before he became big time, the 06010 with Stefania Bell. Stefania Bell shows that podcast. I think Field Yates is on it now. Stefania Bell, all that schooling and then just used for that sprain ankle. Explained the high ankle sprain. There is the Hen Harrier. I've never seen a Hen, I don't think I've ever seen a Hen Harrier. All the other birds I think I've seen in my lifetime. There's a Glaver Day, Glaver Taurus. Looks like there's some infield dirt on that. It's kind of dark. It's pretty cool and it's going to go to Glaver Day. There you go. Coffee stain maybe? Brian Reynolds, a Koto. I think I've played a Koto before. Probably one music shop or something that had one of those things. Fish and chips. I do love the fish and chips. You can't have, I mean, you can't have battered fish and fried, fried, fried potatoes too often, but I'll enjoy a fish and chips here and there. There's a good Irish pub near me that does really good fish and chips. Oh, beautiful, four spacious skies. What looks like it's attacking the other bird? I would not say that the fish and chip is popular in the United States. Not big, but I mean most pubs are the Bald Eagle. Yeah, he is attacking that bird, that un-American bird right there. Yeah, America. America. That's that bird. Paddle boarding, never been paddle boarding. That's kind of a thing. It's a thing out here. Big thing in LA. Bigger than fish and chips, but it's not like we just have like, you know, a chippies, a fish and chippies on every corner dunking like, like, like might happen in other places in the world. I've never been here. The Lawns of Meadows and National Historical Park in Canada. I'd like to check that out someday. That looks pretty cool. Have I played a Pippa? Maybe. And there's Old Time Hockey, a content creator and writer. I think a breaker will ever be in an Alan McGinter set someday. There's another Corbin Carroll, but a different, different design. One or the other is a variation. This one, this one has that color. That one has that color, different jerseys. Now, Nick's dad was in this. Oh, was Richard there? Oh, benches have cleared in this Astros Mariners game. What happened? Never been parasailing would like to. I don't know how that happened. I just turned and Julio Rodriguez has, oh, the bullpen is taking a jog. They're jogging out there. Oh, nice ice cream sundae. What happened? Oh, it looks like Nariss was instigating something here. I mean, this is like a playoff game. I've played the Lute. I showed the replay. And there is a Petalondo Relic for the Mets. That'll be for Mark. All right. So there's the strikeout. There's the pitch. Oh, Hector Nariss really showed him up. He struck him out and then he starts marching towards home plate yelling and talking at Julio Rodriguez. Wow. And then Julio is like, wait, excuse me? And starts walking toward him and benches cleared. Yeah, I have a bit of a music background, Duncan. I'd like to visit the Great Wall someday. I've not been jet skiing. And I think we have a number of music shops around here that have all sorts of random instruments all. I've picked one up or two over the years. We got the, we got a kite here, a red kite. There's Adam Ray, a comedian, actor, and lover apparently. It's a different border on this. Looks a speciale. There we go. I have played the Marimba. Oh, they're about one per box. Maybe they're not as a speciale. You know what's special though, Grizzlebees? Everyone else, this mighty bald eagle. America. Mookie Betts nice. We'll keep that inspirational bald eagle right here. You know what? That bald eagle wants you to fill up the break credit promo breaks, ladies and gentlemen. You know, be an American, not an American. This bald eagle is saying, hey, go to jaskiescasebreaks.com, buy spots in those football breaks. Let's give away some money. What's more American than that? Giving away money, giving away break credit. I'm jaskiescasebreaks.com. Duncan, you're allowed to. You're allowed as well. You can join in. Now, the, I'm telling this guy, hey, listen, you throw out a batter. I'm going to ring you up. I think he just got the warning. Julio Rodriguez on the outfield, shaking his head. We got some spice, a little spiciness here. This is setting up like a Julio Rodriguez walk off, I think. I am a fan of, hey, you should be able to police yourselves. But man, it'll happen though, Grizzlies. Ball players have long memories. I guess if the Mariners were ahead by a few runs, maybe they'd do it, but don't worry. These are division rivals. I assure you. First series next year. Oh no, Dinkza. Wow, that's a triple. He kind of blooped one into right field, but it went through the right fielder's legs. And then it's skipped to the, all the way to the wall. And then I think even Julio, oh, it's bouncing, skipped right by him. You can't do that. That's, that's bad defense. Yeah. Either in spring training or first series of the year. Yeah. They're going to, you know, and if you're, if you're a hitter, you're kind of pissed at Hector Nariss. You know, he's your teammate, but you're kind of like, come on, man, I'm the one that's going to get hit. Like that's what, that's what the batters are saying. There's temple blocks. I've never played temple blocks. I suppose I played some kind of percussion instrument kind of like that, but, and there is Alejandro Kirk for the Blue Jays. That's going to go to Johnny O. Yeah. It's going to be Bregman that's going to get it, you know, in the back side, you know what I mean? There is the Lechon Giant. Looks impressive. Built in a sandcastle. I've done that. Everyone has, everyone built a sandcastle before? Who in the chat has never built a sandcastle? If not, you got to visit Jaspis. The beach is right down the street. Build a sandcastle. Talk about, talk about therapeutic. Abandonian? Looks like an accordion. I've tried to play these. Not very good at it. There's the Triple Crown. There's the Peregrine Falcon. I've seen one of these. There's Nino O'Brien. And we've got a Leover Puguerro Rookie Autograph Mini with another mini behind there. Nice pirates. That's going to go to Stephen Carney. Fun in the sun fishing. Definitely been fishing. Lake fishing. Deep sea fishing. But not, never river fishing. I have played the mandolin. That's also a hard instrument. Not well. You think that's a trout variation? Wait, wink face? Well, I'm not sure what that means. It was or it wasn't? Oh no. So now, now the Astros are, oh the fish, I get it. Wow, they got the bases loaded. What, what a mistake. There's the Snowy Owl. Now, Triple was a huge mistake. There's the Bodyboard. Yeah, I've done that. There's the Eye of Goree in Senegal. I have not been there. I wouldn't mind checking that out. That sounds like a cool place. And we've got Laser Show, Dustin Padroia, piece of the jersey for the Red Sox. Capola. Mount Castle. Oh, it's another run for the Astros. Six to three Astros. I started on piano. But by the time I was like 11 or 12, I stopped. I regret that. Not too many regrets in my life. That's, that's one of them though. Kiteboard, I've not been kiteboarding. Looks like Bobby with Junior. The box loader. No, yeah, not, not, not too old to pick that up. It's hard to, I guess I have to buy like a keyboard. It's hard to get like a proper piano. Put it in my already crowded apartment. You get like an upright though. This is the hot box, I think, with those, those refractory type cards. I think so. That's another single. Another run scored. It's not a good inning for the Mariners here. So within grand slam reign, they got to keep it right about here. That's kind of funny. Yeah, crazy. The beats for Clint Eastwood from by the Gorillaz was just two stock, just two stock buttons from Retail Keyboard. Yeah, I have an old Casio keyboard that had like a stock drumbeat to it that I've heard in many songs as well. All right, next box ladies and gentlemen. These are the all refractory cards, I guess, we'll call them. What's going on here? This is the Allen test. What's the Allen test? Oh, huh. I'm not been waitboarding. There's a Volpe. I'm feeling sad. I've not played a liar. Not not not lying. And there's no Tani Relic. Piece of his jersey going to David. Where is where is he going to end up? Apparently he's already got the surgery on the elbow. He's going to hit next year 2024. He aims to pitch in 2025. There's Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. I'd like to check that out. That sounds cool. There's Spike Ball. There's Yoshida for Capola and the Red Sox. Yeah, those mosaics staying glasses dunking are quite a or quite the hit. I think they fall one per case, if not, if not even less than that. I've been to Philadelphia. I've been to Citizens Bank Park. Not out of game, but I've driven by it. And an autograph that's Josh Naylor. Bo Naylor? Josh Bo Naylor. Rookie Auto for Icapole and the Guardians. And that buy one get two deal at the very end. Nice. Tani done it. Nice Corbin Carroll to the Diamondbacks. Goes to Michael. This is a place where I want to go. Great Barrier Reef. Got to go there someday. Duncan, how far are you from the Great Barrier Reef? I think they're different people. Josh Naylor. I think they're both on the same team. Josh Naylor is a first baseman outfielder from Canada on the Guardians. And Bo Naylor, Noah Gibson Bo Naylor is also from Canada. Oh, they're related. Bo Naylor's older brother, Josh Naylor, also plays with the Guardian as a first baseman outfielder. His younger brother, Miles Naylor, is drafted by the A's in 2023. Ah, Duncan says ages. I'm on the peninsula at the bottom of the east coast. And the reef is most of the way up in Queensland. Got it. All right. Have you ever been? Is it, is it cool? I guess. Can you just swim out there? Can you take a boat out there? I feel like they're sensitive about that reef. They don't want to, they don't want too many humans touching it. Can you maybe take a helicopter over it? There's Luis Arias for the Marlins. That's iCropola. You have, you have not nice. There is the roast lamb. Is that particularly Australian? Duncan's from Australia, Duncan. As our resident Australian, is this a staple of Sunday family dinners in Australia? Oh, you can't snorkel through it. I'd like to do that someday. Yeah, we've had some issues with that in, I think around in Florida. A lot of bleaching of the reef. 100%. So the roast lamb, I do love a good lamb. Well, whenever I'm in Australia, possibly visiting Duncan, I fully expect a roast lamb meal on Sunday night. All right, we've got Goldie, box loader. Your extended family are lamb and beef farmers. How do they feel about the movie Silence of the Lambs? One of my favorite moving pictures. He puts a lotion in the basket or else it gets the hose again. That's right. Dr. Lecter. Dr. Lecter. Dr. Lecter. That's my, Special Agent Cleave Starling impression. Dr. Lecter. Dr. Lecter. Well, I will say Australia has matured and become more multicultural. That probably reflects the angle of heritage more so, the lamb. Let's see. I'll go eat it. These minis are, get a little, little difficult. Sorry about that, folks. We got a nice padded area here. So they're protects the cards, but we're annoying. Box six, almost halfway through the break. We got a Nolan Aeronado piece of his lumber in the mini frame. That's going to go to Sam rail and the red birds. Try to center out that card a little bit there. There we go. Crock mini. Tom Crock, anything but mini. There's Jay Balvin. Nice. It's more international delights. I don't think I've ever had that. There is a Ian, right? Kyle Wright. Can I get Ian? Yeah, there are no Kevin Hart minis. You would think there'd be some Kevin Hart minis. Maybe tops didn't want to, didn't want to chance that. Kevin Hart I think would have found it amusing. There has to be Kevin Hart minis in there. Maybe I'll think of Ian Anderson. That's right. That Kyle Wright will go to Travis and the Braves. Oh, you've seen them. All right. Machu Picchu. That's a place I want to go. Anyone ever been to Machu Picchu? I'd like to go to Machu. Look at that cute little dog right here. Captain Sandy Young. Oh, from below deck. And there's Sarah Lange. We were talking about her earlier. I'll go to the non-baseball spot and mark the set. I'm going to Machu Picchu at some point and be cool. Hiked up that area. Mesa Verde National Park. I have not been here. And we've got an air and judge box loader going to Capola. All right, folks. We're halfway through. Six more boxes to go. I told you this was a this is a long one. That's right. Green table. Mesa Verde. Come on, Mer. What are you doing, Mariners? I just gave up a solo shot to Martín Maldonado. They're up eight three. They're out of grand slam range. Not too many outs left for the Mariners. Only six outs left for the Mariners. That's not good. Yeah, maybe they did. Maybe Mariners got in their head. You guys hear then the background of the broadcaster saying if the Mariners lose, they don't control their own fate. This is a huge series for them. They just did not pull it off. Look at the score line holds. Mini Cody Belinger. We got a Mini Will Leviss. Mini Classe. And a Christopher Morel autograph. Number 25 out of 25. I like that sort of dark and maybe mint color scheme there. This is going to go to Matt Arnold and the Cubs. And Christopher Morel giving you one of those. Nice. I'm going to go here. So this is a cool place to go. Go to some of those step pyramids. Check out some Mayan ruins. Maybe unlock some, you know, unlock some secrets of the future. Jeter down to Mini. Let's see. Interact port. Only in Seattle. Do they have these? Oh, yeah. Gross. Has anyone ever had these? And there's a piece of John DiMaggio's shirt, I guess. No, those are fried grasshoppers. I think they have them at the Mariners stadium. That's for Mark in the non-baseball spot. You've had them in Thailand. How are they? They're surprisingly good. I'm not sure about that. Yeah, I don't mind a crispy seaweed. The bounty of the sea I will enjoy. The grasshopper, I mean, I'm not interested in eating a fried grasshopper. I already enjoy eating the spider of the sea. The crab. There's Reese Hoskins' piece of his lumber. Going to the Phillies. That would be for Sam. There is the Czech Republic. The Sesky Krumlov. I'd like to go there. Eastern Europe is a place I'd like to check out. And we've got a Julio Rodriguez. We still got the bottom of the eighth and the bottom of the ninth. Let's see what they can do. Seven here. Cal Raleigh is up. He could put one out. He could dump one into the seats. The big dumper strikes out. That was your pitch, too. I'm really dragging on this break, folks. It's towards the end of the evening. It's a long break. I've not ripped open this many packs in a long time. But I don't think any of the... I think everyone's going... No one wants to get break credit, so I think nothing else is sold out, so I guess I can take my time. Two breaks and a couple fillers away. I'm unlocking that break credit, but it looks like we're going to fall short unless we get a serious rally. It kind of has to start now. Jaspy's casebreaks.com if you want to go after it. All right, we've got a Juan Soto piece of his lumber. Bat Raleigh going to Cassandra and the Padres. Got the Pyramids of Giza. It's another place I'd like to go. A lot of travel destinations here in this Ginter. Oh, this printer doesn't work, so I connected this computer to the eBay. Oh, there's no toner. It won't print a lot. Yeah. Ah, the Apple Pie, save room for dessert. The rib card. Rip it or keep it. That's Met's edition of Tom Glavin, 76 out of 99. We'll leave that choice up to Mark Vissette. Ship that to him. Mark, if you get anything cool out of here, if you choose to rip it, let us know. We'd like to hear. There's a Blake Snell. There it is. Hand number, 19i25. There's the Vepro Nedlo Zello International Delight dish from the Czech Republic. Some roast pork, dumplings, sauerkraut. Interesting. We've got a piece of Edwin Diaz's jersey. Another one from Mark and the Met's. There is the Roman Colosseum in Italy. It's another place I'd like to go to. That's where they're playing the Rider Cup in Rome. At the Marco Simone. About 45 minutes northeast of the middle of Rome, but apparently the golf course is on some sort of hill area and at certain holes you can look out and and look out and see the Vatican and other parts of Rome and whatnot. Seattle trying to make something happen here. The Blue Jays, Johnny Oh. So runners out the corners for Seattle, one out, bottom of the eighth, down by five. Bench is clear, Jason, in this game. Hector Naras of the Astros struck out Gullio Rodriguez in like the seventh inning or something like that. And then he started walking towards home plate, mouthing off, yelling at him and pointing and stuff like that. Wow. So just really animated. Then Gullio was kind of like, what, what the F are you talking about? And started mouthing at him, but didn't really take a step. But then Bench is cleared and guys from the bullpen took a jog, stretch your legs a little bit. No punches were thrown, but there is a lot of John. That's pretty intense. This could be, let's see. Let's see what if like Gullio Rodriguez, if this guy gets on, if JP Crawford gets on, Gullio Rodriguez does something amazing. Kind of. Well, leading into the Seattle series. Yeah. But I think they took like two of three from the Mariners and they're basically tied for the wild card. So they're like the third wild card star. Chad Dawes probably tearing his hair out. Oh, of course he does. Division rival, cheaters. I mean Hector Naras must have his blood boiling. But then the Mariners just sat there and just started giving up a bunch of runs. Yeah, there it is. Look at that. He was taunting him and he's like, what are you doing, man? There must be, they're saying there must be some sort of history there that we forgot about. Gullio Rodriguez does something special here. That'd be huge. All right, we're getting there, boys and girls. We're almost done. We're getting there. We got an Otani rally. I think that's our second one. That's going to go to David M and the Halos. Speaking of Otani, there he is on the New Balance commercial. So basically one and two, we got a buy, right? They don't have wild card vegan? The three division winners, the top two records get the buy. Right now, we currently have the Dodgers. And I think the Dodgers just locked up that second seed. They're going to be waiting for the winners of like Milwaukee versus Miami, maybe, or Chicago. Yeah, exactly. If the worst, if it isn't about like the worst team that wins. Yeah, the division winner with the worst record would face like the third wild card team or like if the worst wild card team wins, like we say the last place, do they play that matter braves or it doesn't really matter. I don't know if they recede. They don't recede it? Yeah, that I don't know. They just changed that a couple of years ago, so I'm not really used to it. Right. And the wild cards are now three game series. Used to just be one. Yeah. So I really had a one game and then I think it's three now and then three, five, seven, and then world series. Yeah, like once you get like wild card, even before even the wild card, it was like five, seven, seven. Right. You know, I think it should all be seven, except for the wild card. Wild card, keep it three. And then DS should be seven, CS seven, world series seven. I know. Seriously, just add those games. Yeah. Owners would love it. Add those games. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right. There's Louis Sarayas again for the Marlins. Aycapola. All right. Here it is. Julio Rodriguez. Wow. That was right down the middle. Julio Rodriguez, runners at the corners, two outs, bottom of the eighth, Mariners down by five. They got a new pitcher to face Julio. He's 0 for three today. So he wants to do something. Oh, yeah. That's right down the pipe at 96 and Julio is swaying right through it. That was a home run swing. Now you're down 0 and 2. You got to shorten up the bat. No, he's, he's in, oh, and he flails at a curveball. That's outside. Chads, yeah. Chads burning. I know. Do a, do a, someone do a well, I don't know if any of the Connell brothers are listening right now, do a wellness, I mean, they might be pissed too, actually. I don't know. I feel like the Connell brothers are a little, little more chill though. They don't, I mean, they, they're probably mad, but, but Chad, Chad gets fired up and Jimmy's just kind of like, well that's Mariners baseball, man. And Chad had gotten, had gotten himself worked up that this is it. You know, wellness check on Chad, dawg. He might be at, he might be at the game. Yeah, let me know what he says. I mean, Bangles, Joe Burrow looks terrible. Like that. I'm just like, and you know, you know what's kind of funny with a card like that for Chad? Like he's kind of stuck with that card for like the next 20 years because you can't sell it now. You're not going to sell it now. You're not going to sell it now. Now you're going to have to wait for him to be back on the floor. Yeah, exactly. Well, what if he turns into like Hall of Famer rattles off three Super Bowls? We got a mini Corbin Carroll. Nice. Corbin Carroll mini for Michael and the diamond backs. Yeah. That was a great episode, man. So, I mean, but I feel like there's so many things unresolved. Like, so like what, I was like, episode eight better be like an hour and a half. But I think there's going to be a next season. I think there, I think they're going to do a movie. They should just mix it. Well, I think that's been announced. Like Dave Filoni is supposed to do a movie. Remember in this episode two, when they were talking about the council, they were talking, they were like, I brought a mandalarm. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But I think that's what Dave, so that's what it is. I think it's going to be a cliffhanger. There's Juan Soto for the Padres, Cassandra. I didn't really watch, I didn't really watch the Clone Wars, though, like with Ron and stuff, but that just plays the long game, man. He's just like, Oh, yeah. He's just like, yeah, I don't give a shit what's going on here. No. I'm almost filled to get the hell out of here. So, let them continue, buddy. Yeah. He's like, he's like one of the greatest generals of like that time, you know, he's like such a tactical genius. And he's like, um, general, uh, general, uh, adding a Skywalker was her master. He's just like a damn. But yeah, I think Dave Filoni said, yeah, that the feature film, the movie is supposed to wrap up Mandalorian, Ahsoka, all of it, the Thrawn storyline, all of that. Yeah, because they brought it up to in, uh, with, uh, with Mothkid, and remember they said all Thrawns are right in that one sir, like, uh, loyal servant dude? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I think that's what the movie is. Just big battle royale, Mandalorian, Luke, Grogu. I've set up some, like, uh, vendors right there. I think actually, actually knowing Disney, that they've, that's probably what they wanted. They were like, all right, now let's do end game and do a three hour movie and just wrap everything up. And then we can move on to like other Star Wars stuff. All right, here's my back. Mariner suck, dangle suck. Those are okay, but I'm going anywhere. I only have the husky that's been a month. Oh, poor Chad. I didn't even bring up bangles. He brought another poor guy. No, bangles will be fine though. The Mariner's here, still down by five in the top of the ninth. So Fulia Rodriguez struck out the end of the inning at the bottom of the eighth. So they got to try to not give up runs here and see if they could put up five at least in the bottom of the ninth. It's a tough, tall task. You know, that blow of inning by the Mariners all started with that right fielder who let the ball, I think he must have just took his eye off and let the ball skip by him, which turned into the Bregman triple. Then they intentionally walked yard on Alvarez, runners were at the corner and they just went a single, a bloop single here, a bloop single there. And then the floodgates have opened up. Was this the pickleball kid that you were tying? Is she the pickleball girl? Yeah, I think she is. Is she the same girl that got like, I saw a, I saw an ESPN story about someone, some like teenage kid who plays pickleball with her mom, like they're the, they're the pickleball team. And like she recently got like a sponsorship from Fila, remember the Fila clothing brand, Athleta Leisure, Athleta Leisure, whatever, whatever they call that nowadays. But anyway, they, I think she got like a sponsorship and it was like one of the first big sponsorships for a pickleball team. There's Austin Hayes, Relic for Fred and the O's. We've got a mini, oh yeah, the pool in Arizona. That's Jackson Holly's dad in case, in case you didn't know. If you don't know, now you know. Ooh, Ericay. And we've got a Corbin Burns mini auto for the brew crew. That's gonna go to Johnny O. Center up that sometimes they slide around a little bit there, but very nice. Beach volleyball, some good exercise there. Enjoy the beach volleyball. I feel that mini cart on the back of my hand there. All right, Mariners, last three outs. Let's see if they can make something happen here. Like I already had as a chance. Look at that. That looks delicious. Like some lobster. There's Gunnar Henderson. Orioles, that is for Fred. We've got a story about some lady with some friends or forget what the story was. Some person was traveling, was in Thailand or something like that. Was at a nice seafood restaurant and had ordered lobster, some sort of lobster of some sort. And it was a lot of lobster. But I admit there must have been some sort of language barrier thing or something like that because it ended up being a $10,000 check or something like that. Because it was like lobster for six or seven people, but it was like giant amounts and it was at market rate and it was really expensive for something. I think she's trying to sue in the restaurant saying, no, we told her exactly what this was about and she wasn't clear on the menu, Wander Franco, whatever. And being in limbo in that Wander Franco situation. I know investigations take time, but I just like, what happened? I'm leaning towards not looking, it's not looking good for Wander, but at least I'm just some definitive clarity on that would be nice. Is he, isn't he? True or untrue? It is there, Duncan. It's an amazing crayfish, crayfish down your way. I can do that. Is there a big South Korean population in your neighborhood, Duncan? Is there any good Korean barbecue spots? I know there's a big South Korean population in Australia, but I don't know if they're concentrated in a certain area or if they're all over the place. Good luck, folks. The penultimate box, second to last one, we're almost there. Stay on target. Oh, the RipCard, the Bogarts RipCard will be ripped. Hopefully something awesome inside. Chad Da, there he is. Yes, I'm watching Astros Mariners on MLB Network. I suppose I'm a somewhat of a neutral fan when it comes to those two teams, but definitely rooting for the Mariners. Jason was doing some work on the computer behind me, and I was just like, oh man, you got to reach out to Chad because I'm doing a wellness check on him because, oh, I know it's 0 for 3 or 0 for 4 because I know it was 0 for 3 to last at that with what, two or three strikeouts? Wow, Golden Sombrero, four strikeouts? 0 for 4, that's not good. I mean, it was a tight one until that blow-up inning. What happened there? Oh man, these 0 for 4 with RISP, that's the worst. Who was that right fielder where the ball skipped right by him? That just unraveled the entire inning. Here's another Corbin Burns for Johnny Oh, just a relic this time. What am I going to Scotland? Teosca, is that what it was? Man, better make up for it now. But that was the, I mean, what happened? Like, he was right here, it was just, he was charging towards it, realized he wasn't going to make it, so he was charging towards it, and then kind of pulled up a little bit, realizing it was going to fall short, but then it skipped right by him. It's like, just, I don't know, sort of like an Olé sort of thing, just kind of Olé'd at it. Didn't put his body in front of it, and then that ruined everything, and then I think even Julio kind of bobbled it by the time it got to the wall, and by then, Bregman was at third, then they walked, I think it was Jordon, right? Walked Jordon, runners are at the corners, no outs with the leadoff triple, and then it just kind of unraveled from there. Bloop single here, Bloop single there, and then it's got to be a little frustrating. They, I mean, I think the Mariners controlled their destiny with this Astro series, and now they got to rely, now they still have to win and then rely on other teams. Are you serious? Well, first and second, only one out. Did you guys really have the best month as a franchise, and then the worst month as a franchise since September? And there is Javier Assad for the Cubbies. That's going to go to Matt Arnold. Are the Cubbies done? The Cubs were hot after the All-Star break, battled their way back, almost thought that they might have had a chance at the division, then that kind of slipped away from them, and they've lost some critical games this week. You're exaggerating, but wow, that's rough. That's only in Texas. Do you have that? That's pretty cool. Big statue of Pudge. That extra run that was given up in the eighth also hurt, Chad, because I mean, I don't need to tell you this, but that would be Grand Slam range. If the teams in Grand Slam range, you can always believe, but there's Vlad Grosz Jr. box loader for John. But once that fifth run gets on there, late in the game, that changes the math significantly, because if maybe Kyle Tucker drops that ball, base is loaded, you got the big dumper up, you love that. You want to see that. But down five runs, so Mariners had a 90% chance of being in the playoffs two weeks ago. Now we have to win out, and the Astros have to get swept by the Diamondbacks. They'll be prepping for the playoffs. Who do the Mariners play in their last series? There's the ball game. The other Mariners are a game and a half behind the Astros. Texas, who just swept us three days ago. So that's, that's good. Revenge. Return the favor. The revenge angle. That's why it's good. This is Picker team five, Allen and Ginter baseball. We're about an hour 43 into the break. We're on the last box. Thanks for hanging folks. We're almost done. This took me a lot longer than I thought. I guess I was just, this is my first Allen and Ginter break. I have not been in a, not found my rhythm or groove in these Allen and Ginter. You are, are you in this? I don't think you're in this. I see a completely different name for the Astros. I don't remember any Astros though, but I'm going to do a recap. It does say Katelyn. Okay. Yeah. Chad Chad's a Mariners guy. Yeah. What was, what was up with that? What's the, is there, the broadcasters were suggesting there was some sort of history there, but Nara struck, struck Julio Rodriguez out and then got fired up and started walking towards Julio Rodriguez. Oh, so that's wifey. Okay. Well, final box. Good luck everyone. That's what I was saying. That's what I was saying earlier today or when that happened Chad. I was like, I was like, they're not going to, they're down or run at that time. And I was like, they're not going to, they're not going to retaliate in this game, but watch out first Mariners Astros series. Someone's going to get plunked, but if you're the Mariners or if you're the Astros though, there's Jimmy Rollins for the Phillies. That'd be for Sam. I'm kind of pissed at Hector Nara's because he's not the one that's going to get hit. Bregman probably gets, someone's going to get hit, right? Alex Bregman is going to be like, come on man, I'm the one that's getting plunked in the butt or worse. It's not, it seems like people are guessing on bad bloody, but I don't know where that bad blood was from. Oh, there was a clip where from 2020 Jarrett hit a tank against Nara's. Maybe he celebrated a little too aggressively. Baseball players do have long memories and hold grudges even for, even for the smallest of slights, Mark. Nara's was like, and I took it personal. This is that dude that carried this grudge against Bryce Harper. Do you remember that? And then he was even traded. He went to a completely different team. He went to the Giants, I think. And then he plugged, he plunked Bryce Harper. Was it like Strickland, Hunter Strickland? But apparently it was a Homer that Bryce had off him in the playoffs on a completely different team three years ago. And there's like a, was it a, it might have been a John Boy breakdown or something like that, where, where, where like Buster Posey, you know, usually when, when like the bench is clear, everyone's helping out, right? Bullpen's going to take a jog. They're going to run out. They're going to, but, but it's clear that Buster Posey had probably said something like, do not hit this guy. Don't do it. We need to win this game. There's Taylor Ward for the angels. And the pitcher hits Bryce Harper. There's a big brawl that happens. And if you watch the replays, Buster Posey is just very slow to get up. And he's like, oh man, here we go. It's one of those like, when your buddy that likes to fight gets into a fight at the pub and you get up and you're like, okay, here we go. Final little stack. Good luck, everybody. We are almost there. Stay on target. Almost there. There's a Brian Bale for the Red Sox, Icappola, Kate Cavalli, Will Myers, 1L, Mandy Bell, Mandy Bell. Hey, thanks, Duncan. We got through it together. It was a long break, but there's a lot of fun stuff to check out here. We've got the box topper and we got a quick little recap about to happen. And it is, it is Julio Rodriguez. Tough night at the office for him today and the Mariners. We'll do a quick little recap. We had a lot of Corbin Carroll rookie cards and variations, some Yoshida, some good stuff there. The box loaders right over here. I'm assuming some of these can be autographed. I'll bet they're a few and far between. A lot of fun little minis that we had. The mighty bald eagle got his feeling patriotic. Yeah, look at him. Look at that. He's about to eat this bird. He's like, yeah. Fly Eagles, fly. Maybe he should just become an Eagles fan. Me, man. You know? When I was a god son, he's a Raiders fan. Poor guy. I got him into a poor guy. He loves me around. His dad is like, I'm okay with it. He might even hurt me, you know, but. Oh, this was to 25. Yeah, I mean, my cousin Dan's an Eagles guy. You guys are Eagles guys. You know, I could be happier in the fall. Fall, winter, I could be a lot happier. Yeah, Raiders fan came out and said it's been a rough 20 years. All right. Maybe I'll just become a free agent. This is root for players. This is root for Josh Jacobs. All right. Thanks, everybody, for getting into Ginter. Pick your team five, clocking in just under two hours, hour 51. Appreciate everybody who got into this. A lot of fun, though. I actually do like this break a lot. It's just takes some time, but there's, but there's always just like fun, wacky stuff to look at some different things, some different looks, which, which always kind of keeps things, keeps things a little spicy. Thanks, everyone, for getting in. Appreciate you. I'll see you next time for the next break. Joe for jaspeascaserakes.com. Bye-bye.
