in today's MLB recap we have some drama between Nester Cortez and the Yankees he's not happy at all about being demoted to the bullpen just the Verlander the future Hall of Famer he might be having that same talk with the Astros here soon either that or like hanging up the cleats kind of conversations he's been bad Otani he teed off for another home run which made Royals fans very happy because it came against the Guardians a rookie for the Pirates had one of the more entertaining debuts of the year and the Rangers they're getting both deg Gro and sherzer back this week can they make a crazy Mad Dash race to the Finish Line we'll talk about that later on don't forget guys MLB recap is brought to you by SE geek use code fuzzy to save 20 book off sporting tickets as well as concerts and a

356 in the minor league so he's basically been Lis arise combine with d strange Gordon he has 102 stolen bases while batting nearly 360 what did I even just say out loud the Rays have so many prospects and Chandler Simpson he's just one of them now let's talk about the big league Rays so Corbin Burns he got burned Yesterday by his own offense I'm not sorry for that pun but that's not really being fair to Zack latel because he was dialed in from the jump for the Rays he and Corbin they kept escaping jams and it almost got ugly for the Tampa Bay Rays after Gunner he stole second base and luckily latel did his job he backed up Third Base otherwise Gunner might have gone to Home Instead walls he nearly got eaten up by o'hern grounder but he makes up for as the Tampa Bay Ray strand another runner in scoring position Johnny Mr Duca he beat the Wall in left field the kid is batting 380 with three home runs and three stolen bases his last 13 starts and that's on top of having worldclass defense no matter where they put him Gunner he made it a three for three game in the eighth inning Ali has to clutch up but he couldn't put the ball in play and then Edwin useta I think that's how you say his last name he is approaching the most underrated reliever in Baseball status two strikeouts he got five outs and he gets the save come on Yankees do the thing do the thing where you win a game and put some distance between you and balam or not isach Petes he missed it just enough to have a two-run knock drop right in front of Aaron judge which is all that the Cub staff needed in this one Rizzo he got another Standing Ovation he got standing go after standing o he blistered a base hit to leftfield which got Jazz to third base and Jazz did end up scoring on this web gem the two-time go Glover Ian happy stole a base hit from Anthony vulpe and then the former Yankee Jameson tyion he kept it there he got Juan soda to strike out not once but twice gar Cole he was having some fun on the bump as well he painted 98 to get through six Innings I think that he was jazzed because he thought his lineup was going to bounce back yeah Ian haap made another great grab this time at the track and Porter Hodge he finished three no hit frames from the bullpen Nate Pearson had two no hit frames Porter had a no hit ninth inning he's got four saves as the Yankees they lose just like the Orioles so let's talk about this Nester versus Yankees beef shall we so he kind of went off at the media a few days ago because he was not happy about being demoted to the bullpen because Luis heel and Clark Schmid are back in the rotation he said that he's been the Workhorse he was the opening day starter and to his credit he did make his first relief appearance a few days ago versus the Cubs he went four and a third shut out and then today earlier Aaron Boon he did respond saying that he doesn't need everyone to be happy which is kind of bold but he gave Nester some credit for going out there and bearing down he simply said that he needs everyone to want the best for the team so whose side are you on do you understand why Nester is upset or do you think that his last few seasons have been a little up and down to where Clark Schmid and Luis heel they're going to get the starts over Nester before we check out the Astros game and the fact that JV might just uh he might have cost himself a playoff roster spot we got to talk about the wild card the national league the Braves they can get back into the race with a W and a Mets L and Kel Nick he blasted off he's got a five-game hit streak to start the month of September he has two home runs in his last four games Chris hail in my opinion I think that he just wrapped up the Sai Young unless Zack Wheeler throws a perfect game six more dazzling frames zero runs allowed two base hits seven strikeouts he leads the NL and er er plus fit home runs per nine strikeouts per nine he has 11 and a half strikeouts per nine at 35 years old he's back on the Hall of Fame Fame trajectory because again I think that he's going to win a Sai Young he's not going to get the W though because Spencer Horwitz went golfing for a two-run home run after sale came out the game that is Spencer's third home run in two games he has a 135 Ops plus as a rookie the Braves they do tie on a Matt Olson sack fly so that forces extras when Springer he bounced one up the gut in the 10th inning to reclaim their lead but then Madness kind of ensued Addison Barger he took his sweet time and still made a bad throw and then Eli white he's just far too fast to throw out that is a walk-off Fielder choice for Shawn Murphy he does get the RBI so the Braves wi four to3 all right it is go time for the Mets they got to put the Reds in their place after seeing the Braves win the Mets are trying for their 10th W in a row Luis Savino he was vintage sebie he struck out eight Reds over six plus Innings and he got some big time help from Mark Vientos who every time I see him I still think that he's a rookie but he exceeded rookie standards in 2023 but that's a incredible play at the hot corner sebie he even got the lead after Starling lined an RBI up the middle but the Reds also have a guy with the last name of Marte noeli Marte he blooped one in front of Starling Marte and of course we're about to talk about catel marte's team after this one tip of the cap to saino a 1.9 erra and 35 strikeouts his last five starts we head to the seventh nmo he tried to drop one into shallow left and Ellie he galloped over to make the grab Ellie de the Cruz has 15 outs above average now we're in the ninth and Santiago espanol he ruins the Mets chance at 10 W that is a two-run double not even the rally caps could save the Mets as Edwin's brother is out there Alexis Diaz he strikes out two he has 26 saves on the year so the streak is officially snapped and yet again the Braves and the Mets are tied in the wild card and by the way the Mets and the Braves are five and five against each other so if they stay tied I don't know what happens not only is the NL Wild Card shaping up to be a Mad Dash to the finish line but the AL West and the AL Central is getting fun as well JV it stood for junior varsity in this one not just just Verlander paven Smith he do to an off the foul pole his first of three home runs Gino of course he's got to get in on the RBI action he's been driving in runs like crazy he tacked on one right before pman crushed his second this one's a grand slam so he had a three-run home run then a grand slam he's going to try for the Home Run Cycle Alex bregman he was nice to give fans something to smile about a two-run home run he's got a 130 Ops Plus in the second half here's paven with the trifecta he was a two-run home run away from the Home Run Cycle he just missed a two-run home run he has eight RBI in his first three at bats of this game now the Astros did fight back a little bit but I'm going to skip to the ninth inning where AIO sarez pummeled another home run he had four base hits in this one he's got 16 home runs and a 170 Ops Plus in the second half to me he's been the biggest reason why the Diamondbacks have surged in the second half because last year we know that third base was kind of a a dark spot for the Diamondbacks now we are going to break down the fact that JB might be left off the playoff roster and we'll talk about that in a second because the Mariners they're breaking Cal ry's monster season continue with his 90th RBI he's on Pace for 102 RB as a catcher Randy he made it three consecutive hits to open up this one make it four base hits as Luke rley his double to the Gap made it 3 nothing versus miles micheles who straight up looked like miles batting practice Mich less whatever his name is and then he did settle down for a few at bats got to two outs when Mitch Garber got his Barrel up to a fast ball upstairs those are two more runs and it's um well it was 5 to nothing now it's not that anymore as Randy he went yard versus his former team he was with the Cardinals in 2019 where he hit 3 first 208 bats as a red bird he's got 13 extra base hits 15 RB and a 130 Ops plus as a mariner Jorge palanco he jolted out a two-run home run as well are the Mariners waking up JP Crawford he made it a 10 spot with an RBI double are the Mariners about to make a comeback of the ages so with that blowout W Seattle is back to 4 and 1/2 games of first place but three and 1 half games of the wild card they have 18 games left what should the Astros do with JV Justin Verlander he's probably got two or three more starts left this season and to be brutally honest I love JV he's been one of the worst pitchers in baseball he has a 5.3e ray and everything has regressed and I know he's coming back from injury but the strikeouts are down the walks and the hits are up opposing teams are hitting almost 300 with the 525 slugging against his Bread andb Butter fast ball he's going to be 42 in February should he move to the bullpen should he be left off the roster they shouldn't really do that cuz they're paying him like $16.5 million what should the Astros do with Justin Verlander should they just give him a few more starts to build up that arm strength what's happening down in Houston wait wait wait wait wait hold up the tigers are tied with the Mariners at three and a half games back of a wild card spot the rookie Trey Sweeney has such a sweet swing it's kind of long but he's a taller kid so he can get away with it he has three home runs his last 48 bats and nine RBI Carrie Carpenter he found some grass and after that tray he delivered again he secures one of the longest singles you can hit because everyone had to wait to see if it would drop that's another RBI fast forward to the eighth this freaking Parker Meadows kid it seems like everyone who's a rookie is performing for the Tigers that's another two-run extra base hit he has RB eight and N since last Thursday Matt verling one of the non rookies on the team he went down and slash an RBI extra base hit and uh yeah the team from the Motor City kept motoring around the bases Riley green had an RBI Carri Carpenter we call him scary carry he had an RBI double the Tigers end up taking nine to one after another rookie Colt Keith had an RBI single we're not done with rookies a tip of the cap to the rookie Tai Madden he goes five innings they had an opener before him so he did not start the game but he goes five innings with seven strikeouts just rookies performing a top notch everywhere for the Tigers they're three and a half games back of making the playoffs and Tanner BBY has one of the quickest pickoff moves I've seen in quite some time so Otani he gets on and then they pick off Otani but don't you worry he's going to get his payback mooki he tripled to deep Center later in the fourth inning and Will Smith he found some grass which hasn't happened very often in the second half but if he gets going along with Otani And Betts and Freddy doing their thing I mean good Lord there's Otani doing his thing a big fly where did that ball even go 450 ft deep into the right field bleachers he wasn't showboating he was just seeing if that ball was fair or foul he's got 46 home runs and 46 stolen bases and a 180 Ops plus since last year Jack flarey he turned in his best start as a dodg because of course he did he's facing the Guardians he's now thrown 25 in the third inning versus the Guardians this year he has a one erra he had six strikeouts over seven and a third shut out copc he's been unreal a one1 fast ball to end the eighth he has one earn run allowed in 17 games Max MSY went Lefty Lefty off the former outfielder Anthony ghost by the way Muny is now eight home runs away from 200 for his career despite the fact that he started his career pretty late you have Chris Taylor with an RBI Evan Phillips had a kind of stressful ninth inning but he got Lane Thomas to chase as they take the final two games after Cleveland won game number one that last sentence is music to Royals fans ears because out of nowhere the Royals went from unbeatable to the worst team in baseball back to being unbeatable and it almost seemed like Renfro purposely dogged it to trick the twins into setting the runner he teams up with Michael Garcia they have a perfect relay home and Bobby he does not need any help he turns a sick double play all by himself to me he's an easy top three candidate to build your franchise around going forward Michael Waka he was up to 96 milph in this star I didn't know that he threw that hard still he also had some crazy movement so he strikes out the side in the fourth inning just disgusting stuff the Royals they missed out on a Grand Slam by a few feet as Garrett hamson he got the first run of the game home on a sack fly and after Minnesota looked like they might get out of it Bobby Whit Jr struck out salvi hit them with a swinging bunt Miranda had to just look at it and from there I mean Michael Walker stay locked in seven scoreless with seven strikeouts and Lucas EG's 11th save gives Michel Wala his 100th career w why was that so hard to say I think it's hard to say because my brain is turning a pudding as I'm watching the end of the season cuz the guardan they got to my team has to pick it back up the Royals have won four games in a row they're now back to two and a half games of the Guardians this is stressful the Tigers and the Marlins are deploying all of their rookies and the rookies came out to play in Miami this Connor Norby fella is already making the GM Peter benck look like a genius Connor with a two-run home run in backto back games he wasn't done there another rookie clutched up OT Lopez he's been such a nice ad the Giants just gave up on him and he's batting 320 over his last 26 games he has 13 outs above average defensively on the season more rookie action Griffin co9 he can swing it we're not done with rookies Javier sooha I think that's how you say it that's his first RBI and that kid can fly Javier showed off the wheels moments later he scores on a Nick fortez two-run double Nick fortez is batting 355 at the 140 Ops plus as a catcher in the second half there's Connor again make it a 4 RBI game his third two-run home home run in the last 24 hours he has 13 extra base hits 13 RB two stolen bases a near 180 Ops Plus in his first 18 games as a Marlin the Orioles got Trevor Rogers in return and the bum I shouldn't say that that's kind of mean he's in Triple A right now by the way Connor he's also top 5% in speed the dude's a gamer Edward Cabrera he looked like the MLB the Show version of himself six strikeouts over six scoreless just three base hits allowed to me the Marlins are way ahead of schedule considering their young Talent if they can get Sandy Jesus Ryan weathers all help they could have a fun 2025 if the offense actually keeps up speaking of getting a staff healthy the Rangers they're about to add two guys that have five sa Youngs between the pair of them we'll talk about those dudes in a second because uh I feel bad for the rookie Angel starter Kaden Dana or Dana Simeon and the boys were throwing Haymakers early Simeon now has 19 home runs and 17 outs above average Nathaniel low he cranked one out as well that ball was deleted as soon as he made contact Ezekiel Duran shout out to him because I think the offense was lagging behind because he worked so hard on the defense and credit to him he's got four outs above average and seven DRS and the bat is starting to come alive in September Marcus he flared in another hit and he grabbed his second RBI when Charles Leblon I only want to say his name because it's fun to say that is a three-run home run and also was a big part of the game the Angels did not win this game because Jordan Adams he olated a Travis Janowski base hit two score Kirby eights I mean credit to him he's keeping up with the Manuel CL 29 saves I know 29 isn't 42 but he's got a 1.29 ra and he's striking out everyone so now the Rangers are back to 6 and 1 12 games of a wild card spot with de Gro and sherzer coming back within the next few days deg Grom had 15 strikeouts and 10 Innings just one run allowed in his rehab starts Max Scherer his last Rehab start through four scoreless so I know the chances are slim but they're not zero for the Rangers to make the playoffs same with the Red Sox they had a rough last month but they got to keep this momentum going and complete the sweep of the white socks Connor Wong there you go he's basically still batting 290 he's got 13 home runs former Red Sox Andrew benen he got that run right back with a ground out off the rookie making his debut Richard Fitz and then Cory Lee got it past the relever Greg Weiser for the go-ahead RBI single when Willer ofu the rookie he tied it with his 15th home run he still has a 127 Ops plus who's going to win a rookie of the year in the AL you have Austin Wells he leads all rookies in F War then you still have Kade Smith Colton cows are a bunch of other guys the white socks are now winning Dom Fletcher he went the other way an RBI double to left field and I need Jacob of M to keep on doing this so I can offload his Prospect cards that I bought and uh yeah just keep doing that Jacob thank you very much Zack deoi drove another run and then a second run scored on the play because of an error as Luis robber he made a five Run ninth inning as a big ouchie for me because the Red Sox they're four games back of the wild card there's still some wiggle room but the season is 100% now on the line they face the Orioles and the Yankees as their next two Series so the last time I talked about Joe Musgrove I gave him a lot of Praise so naturally the next time that we see him he gives up 957 Runs Mother Nature was not on the side of the pad's Elliot Ramos he got the second base on a flyball the tatis the sun was just directly in his corny as he could not see it Matt Chapman this dude is an exit velocity King everything that he hits is absolutely smacked the Giants kept mashing the power button here's Gerard and Carion with a three-run home run his third home run he has 13 RBI in his first 22 games with the Giants Luis Matos there you go he's been striking out every other at bat it seems like so it's cool to see him finally make some contact Jackson Merill he's back in the lineup he missed the game after getting hit by a pitch that's his 23rd home run he's got 16 stolen bases as well with playing go glove defense who's going to win the Rookie of the Year race in the National League is it going to be skin chorio who the heck is it Kurt cassal he got that solo home run back with a home run of his own skipping to the seventh I think the giant controller died the R re got a free run on a wild pitch then there was more free runs a dropped popup I don't I mean I love Tyler Fitzgerald what is he doing over there at second base so two score and now we have a brand new ball game Xander Bogarts with the clutch two run home run second half Xander isn't animal but so is Ryan Walker the super soldier sidearm closer for the Giants he got five consecutive outs in a row to slam the door shut that's his seventh Save Ryan Walker is so dang good this CJ J Abrams leadoff home run made the Pirates pretty um pretty angry cuz CJ he's up to 19 home runs and 28 stolen bases but again the Pirates they got cooking with Billy cook the rookie first ever opportunity on defense is a web Jem into the netting and we have another Joey Bart dart he's got 13 home runs and a 135 Ops plus I love the fact that Joey is finally breaking out and is that Billy again somebody cooked here Billy cook adds to his debut and his poor Mom missed his two-run double that's got to really hurt I think so was talking to her from behind Andrew McCutchen ripped his 19th home run he has one away from his 10th 20 home run season his stats are actually looking really good he's got 426 doubles 318 home runs 219 stolen bases a career 127 Ops plus with an MVP a gold glove is he going to make the Hall of Fame former National Michael a Taylor he clears the deck his fifth Cannonball of the Year Jared Jones set down 16 in a row at one point to end his seven inning quality start he had nine punchies on 92 pitches the 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates they they can be good with skin Jones and Keller hopefully building on 2024 you have Bubba Chandler and Braxton Ashcraft coming up as pitchers Tamar Johnson he's going to rake the Pirates are cooking but they got to just stay consistent oh boy Ryan McMahon opened the door for Milwaukee to take the early lead he air mails a throw to allow ree Hoskins to grab an RBI in the first inning now later in the second rookie ESO Collins the very first time he swung the bat he secures his first big league base H he had 14 home run runs and 28 stolen bases at Triple A so the Brewers have power speed guys everywhere but they also all kind of strike out a lot Hunter Goodman he might be the greatest minor league baseball player of all time he got one to leave he has 80 home runs and a 930 Ops in 294 Minor League games the Brewers they brought in the nasty Hobie mner to try and get Sam hilard but Sam made them pay hilard he's always had crazy raw tools he's 6'4 with crazy eggs velocities a cannon for an arm he can fly for a guy who is that tall it's nice to see him raking especially against a lefty Kyle Freeland he went six Innings just the one unar run and Tyler Kinley he got his erra back under six with his 11th save the Rockies actually win that series versus the Brewers I'm going to show you guys one more clip do not go anywhere this is Rocky's rookie reliever Sam howon he throws one1 with movement he's one of two Rocky rookie relievers that can throw one1 plus he and Victor vodnik stop saying that modern day baseball hitters are worse than they're selling out because oldheads they continue to Yap about just put the B in play yet they only had to face upper 90s a few times a year if that so stop you're not even considered for a bullpen roll unless you throw 96 plus okay
