I met AJ Burnett when I was working at a Sheetz gas station in high school. I wasn't 100% sure it was him until he grabbed one of the cookies next to the register, which was shaped like a Batman symbol. Next customer was Jordy Mercer. A dead giveaway that you're a MLB player is buying the giant bottles of Voss water in a relatively blue collar area
He was eating at the same restaurant as me years ago only a few tables away. Other than recognizing him and immediately thinking, "That's AJ Burnett," the only way I knew for sure is that people occasionally were coming up to him and his wife/girlfriend as they were eating (autographs, obviously). So I never actually met him because I wasn't going to do that to somebody while they're eating, but it was definitely him.
Couple RefGuess grouping ideas: -Players drafted by multiple pro sports leagues -Players born outside the US (to get excited for the WBC) -Players who skipped the minor leagues entirely -Rule 5 Draftees -Players that have had a Jolly Olive video done about them -Players who had a relative play in the league before or after them -Players who were at one point the PTBNL -Players who never made the playoffs -Players with 3+ rings -Players who became managers or coaches at the MLB level -Players who weren’t ever inducted but spent multiple years on the HOF ballot -Players who have hit for the cycle -Players who have thrown an immaculate inning -Players who won the College World Series before coming to the MLB (with the Winner’s Circle being able to name all 3 of the players’ college) -Players who didn’t go by their government first-name Or *ANYTHING* to try and stump Max for once
Joe Blanton was mentioned heavily in Moneyball because he was the second of their 3 first round picks that year with Nick Swisher being their top pick. And most importantly he played his college ball at Kentucky
You should do a mystery episode where 3 players have something in common, but you don't reveal what they have in common until the end. The final question can be what they have in common
@@gentlemanjake8005 I swear the people on twitter refguess are older, because I'm 18 and I've only gotten a couple of those but I always do fine on these videos.
@@thebigleague9305 the ones on Twitter are definitely much more difficult. Three out of the last four days the answer has been a very generic, forgettable starting pitcher.
Shoutout to Dan "Belino-Man Dan" Kenobio for putting on a bit of character during refguess. RefGuess is overtaking watching baggage as my favorite Jomboy Media show lately! Great job by all
Got these in about 10 seconds because I'm a huge Pirates fan. AJ was my favorite player growing up and Neil was easy to see. Remembered Blanton because of all the pitching moves they made in 2015. I thought it could've been Joakim Soria at first but remembered he came from the Tigers and was never a starter. Easily my best round yet and was waiting for a Buccos themed episode. Was expecting some guys from the shitty mid 2000s teams, although I don't think many would have gotten those
As a fan of the Reds during the early 2010s, this gave me a lot of PTSD as these guys were all the villains of my childhood because they were all great against the Reds.
Blanton worked up a sweat. He'd get into a jam, the pitching coach would visit the mound, and he'd take his cap off then wipe his forehead. I thought of him with the nonsense nickname Pancake Joe.
Watching this now, on Joe Blanton I couldn’t remember his name, but I knew it was the guy who served up the Grand Slam to Montero in game 1 of the 2016 NLCS.
I thought Cutch would’ve been easy enough that everyone would’ve gotten it, but somehow Dan and Jimmy blanked on him. He did miss a lot of 2019 with a torn ACL because Jean didn’t run out a popup, but he still played in 59 games
It would be cool to do players who only played for teams in California. Or you could do players who played for Oakland and the Giants. Same with Angels and Dodgers. Or another fun one would be players who only played on multiple teams but only played in same division. IE if Trea Turner didn’t play for the dodgers. You have the Nats and Phils.
Didn’t get Easy or Medium because I’m a lunk, but 2017 Nats 51 games on hard, it was like a Jimmy Neutron brain blast. I love me some Joe Blanton, even though he was big time ass.
I’m new to the stuff outside of Jomboys play breakdowns and occasional talking baseball clips.. was the guy who introduced the segment Jomboys brother?
Got the trivia round pretty easily, but my mind went completely blank for Joe Blanton so I wouldn't have qualified. Sad. Anyways, we might as well do the intrastate teams like Royals/Cardinals and Rangers/Astros.
Pretty disappointed in the Phillies fan who didn’t immediately get Joe Blanton. Ignore the later half of the career, but you can’t forget the Phillies Rotation that year, let alone being the only trade deadline pickup in ‘08 especially from the A’s
Jomboy Media: the Philadelphia Bureau of Baseball Coverage has found you guilty of talking about Joe Blanton without showing the obligatory clip of Blanton hitting a home run in game 4 of the 2008 World Series. The Bureau sentences you to put some damn respect on that name!
*SPOILER* Ok how tf is the last one Joe Blanton? I watched my team play the Phillies for years and every time I saw Joe Blanton, he was coming out of the bullpen in the 6th inning. How tf is it possible he was supposedly a starter for all that time?
Again, feel like I’m cheating by being a Pennsylvanian, but this was the easiest one for me by far. Medium was a .00005 guess for me. Hard was pretty hard though.

MOM I MADE IT (favorite series on YT)

Hmmmmmmmmm, don’t know about this one.
I struggled more with Neil Walker because his stint with the Phillies was so short that I must have blinked and missed it.
6:29 out of context this is hilarious 😂
Max's 25-0 record is incredible.
I’ve gotten everyone of them on the channel so far. The Twitter account has stumped me a couple times, though. Jon Garland and Joe Saunders got me.
@@gentlemanjake8005 I swear the people on twitter refguess are older, because I'm 18 and I've only gotten a couple of those but I always do fine on these videos.
it is, but i was shocked he didnt immediately get the mccutchen answer!
@@thebigleague9305 the ones on Twitter are definitely much more difficult. Three out of the last four days the answer has been a very generic, forgettable starting pitcher.
It's the way that he gets it in .05 seconds
Joe Blanton with that World Series homer legendary
Shoutout to Dan "Belino-Man Dan" Kenobio for putting on a bit of character during refguess. RefGuess is overtaking watching baggage as my favorite Jomboy Media show lately! Great job by all
This is my favorite content piece going on right now. Love it guys
you all should do a birds episode. where the player had to of played for at least 2 teams with bird mascots
I look forward to this series every week. Currently made it to the finals every week but one. Keep up the great work!!!!
I fear the day Max Mannis finally misses an answer in the normal rounds
I've literally never gotten one right before but I got McCutchen right and it was the greatest feeling ever lol
Love when they got Phillies on. I never miss 😤
What's wild to me as an NL East guy, the easiest one for me was the hard one. Jolly is smart to cater his picks to the Yankees fans.
I agree. Neil walker? Really. He can't hid his hatred for the Phillies
Got these in about 10 seconds because I'm a huge Pirates fan. AJ was my favorite player growing up and Neil was easy to see. Remembered Blanton because of all the pitching moves they made in 2015.

There is nothing I look forward to more on TH-cam right now than RefGuess
Took me a minute to get joe Blantons name. Goatee and World Series home run popped up right away
As a fan of the Reds during the early 2010s, this gave me a lot of PTSD as these guys were all the villains of my childhood because they were all great against the Reds.
Easiest trivia question yet imo, I barely get any of these and I knew it McCutchen.
I love this game! I got Blanton and Cutch. Should have had Walker, Burnett I totally forgot he was a Phillie.
As an Angels fan I will never forget his 2013 year 😂
I love the addition of the leaderboard at the end
I am so much better at the final trivia question than the actual baseball reference questions
I really just can’t get over how good jolly’s hair looks
Blanton worked up a sweat. He'd get into a jam, the pitching coach would visit the mound, and he'd take his cap off then wipe his forehead.
I thought of him with the nonsense nickname Pancake Joe.
You're not a Phillies fan if you didn't get Joe Blanton. Dude hit a homerun in the World Fucking Series in 2008.
Watching this now, on Joe Blanton I couldn’t remember his name, but I knew it was the guy who served up the Grand Slam to Montero in game 1 of the 2016 NLCS.
I couldn’t remember his name either, but I knew it was the big white pitcher who hit his only career HR in the World Series.
I thought Cutch would’ve been easy enough that everyone would’ve gotten it, but somehow Dan and Jimmy blanked on him. He did miss a lot of 2019 with a torn ACL because Jean didn’t run out a popup, but he still played in 59 games
It the question was miss understood I think they may have thought 40 HR seasons with both teams and not 40 HRs total
@@brianhalligan9268 that's definitely what I thought.
Can we get a supercut video of Max speed running Ref Guess?
disco neil! talkin yanks throwback.. legendary
It would be cool to do players who only played for teams in California. Or you could do players who played for Oakland and the Giants. Same with Angels and Dodgers.
Or another fun one would be players who only played on multiple teams but only played in same division. IE if Trea Turner didn’t play for the dodgers. You have the Nats and Phils.
Ahh yes AJ Burnett, smasher of Billy the Marlin's windows and purveyor of the finest stolen bases
“No one pitches well for the angels” 🙃
My prayers for more Pirates was answered.
I feel fulfilled.
I would have never guessed Joe Blanton that’s a good pull totally forgot about him. The Mcutchen one was so obvious it actual tripped up people lol
Cubs legend Joe Blanton for giving up the Montero slam
I knew it was big Joe when I saw traded from A’s to Philly in 08. I had no clue he was a pirate
The Hard was the easiest of the three. The Medium was the most difficult considering the only time in Philly was like a third of a 60-game season.
Make more of these please
Every Phillies fan for that hard one: THAT'S the hard one?
Anyone played for all the CA teams?
Didn’t get Easy or Medium because I’m a lunk, but 2017 Nats 51 games on hard, it was like a Jimmy Neutron brain blast. I love me some Joe Blanton, even though he was big time ass.
AJ Burnett was extremely hard. I remember him being way better than that reference page shows
Hard got me. Should have known it. Got the bonus, though.
I’m new to the stuff outside of Jomboys play breakdowns and occasional talking baseball clips.. was the guy who introduced the segment Jomboys brother?
SHELFYYYYYYY
As an angels fan, I immediately knew hard was joe blanton LOL
Got the trivia round pretty easily, but my mind went completely blank for Joe Blanton so I wouldn't have qualified. Sad.
Anyways, we might as well do the intrastate teams like Royals/Cardinals and Rangers/Astros.
The only ones I got were Blanton and McCutchen
A’s almost traded Joe Blanton for Andre ether and kershaw in 07 or 08
Pretty disappointed in the Phillies fan who didn’t immediately get Joe Blanton. Ignore the later half of the career, but you can’t forget the Phillies Rotation that year, let alone being the only trade deadline pickup in ‘08 especially from the A’s

Jake was cooking here
Omg the last question I blanked so hard cause I thought it was 40 homers per
You guys should do a Tommy John themed episode. Only guys named Tommy or John.
This will be fun
Joe Blanton famously hit a homer in the 2008 World Series
Aj Burnett for the frist one Neil walker last is joe Blanton
Got all of them including ‘cutch✊ just means jolly is gonna get really cruel next week 💀
Pretty sure Jose Bautista is also an answer for the final question
My guess was Dallas Braden for the last. The other 2 I was right
Is Joe Blanton the last pitcher to hit a home run in the World Series?
Haven’t watched yet but money is on AJ Burnett being in this
Less then minute in. Starting 1 for 1
My first 3-3 day....these were too easy lol
PIRATES LOVE!!!
Two cities in one state? Isn't that, like, impossible?
Max "The" Mannis 🐐🐐
Blanton was tough lol
I can usually get 2/3 in these but for some reason I blanked this entire video
While you have Shelfy there you need him to give Jake some advice on how to go 12-0 in BR 😂
I think it would take more than advice to make that happen.
You should do players who played for both the Rangers/Astros next
First time I got all 3 (though I'm a Phils fan, so makes sense)
I got the bonus too, I'm feeling good!
I got all of ‘em really quick lmao
You should make one where they never played in the Al east.
I got the final one and Neil Walker
Shelfy!!
Once again, got all the ref guesses wrong. But somehow, I got the trivia correct.
Vance Worley should have been a bonus
that first one was not easy compared to the others
Should have put in Blanton's Playoff hitting stats
Joe Blanton!
*SPOILER*
Ok how tf is the last one Joe Blanton? I watched my team play the Phillies for years and every time I saw Joe Blanton, he was coming out of the bullpen in the 6th inning. How tf is it possible he was supposedly a starter for all that time?
The fact Shelfy didn’t know Joe Blanton as Phillies fan is truly disappointing
For some reason on the last like 4 vids the medium is harder for me than the hard.
I’m a Phillies fan and McCutchen was the only one I got 😭
How the fuck do I remember Joe Blanton’s career path?
First Trivia I got right
I thought Joe Blanton name was Joe Broxton lmao this one was on the easy side overall
I got Joe Blanton the quickest
lol why did i only get the trivia
42-0 wasn't confident on Neil but I got it
That trivia was so weak! Its clear who it was! Screw NYY for making Uncle Larry cut those gorgeous dreads, by the way
how about players who played for the angels and dodgers?
Again, feel like I’m cheating by being a Pennsylvanian, but this was the easiest one for me by far. Medium was a .00005 guess for me. Hard was pretty hard though.
I hate myself for not getting medium
Why did I think Brad Penny instead of Joe Blanton
AB
NW
JB
AM (the one that I didn't instantly get)
