I’m a new baseball fan and watch every episode. Russel Martin was the first time I got the correct answer and I’m pretty stoked about it lol. Love everything you guys do ❤️
Brought back memories of being excited when they signed Lee. Also memories of his wrist snapping in 06 and dampening his ability at the plate. What could have been... 😢
I love RefGuess it's quickly became my favorite JM content. How about a theme of players who share the first name of the current week's RefGuessers? So depending on how many are playing for that episode, it could be a name pool of 8-12 names... you can find some hard ones I bet.
An underrated highlight of these is finding the most obscure photo of the player possible. Hey there's Ichiro!...when he played for the Marlins for 10 minutes.
I'm game for a 90s baseball episode.... or better yet we go one by one through every decade of baseball, really watch everybody squirm when they have to guess baseball players from the 30s hahaha
4/45 years shown were AL East teams, and they got 15/21 total guesses as a group right, including 3 people who got all of them right. But yea, they only know the AL East
@@daleftuprightatsoldierfield I didn’t see the Yankees, only counted the blue jays by mistake. But look at the teams from the other 2 difficulties. Literally half a year between the other 2
I wish I had my attempt at the hard player on video. I knew I knew the guy but couldn't come up with his name right away and was trying to work my way to it. I wound my way through a million names trying to find the one that sounded right, started with Fred S and somehow found my way to Mike Hampton in the end. It was quite a journey, I can't believe I figured it out
holy moly this was the first of these that i actually got all 3, i havent felt this happy in years. i only guessed mike hampton because i remember watching baseball tonight forever ago with my dad, and for some reason i remember a segment on mike hampton being a great hitting pitcher and i remember specifically him being in a rockies uniform during a highlight
somehow got the hard solely because I remembered there was a rockies pitcher that had a bunch of home runs and beat the dodgers in a game he hit one that i was watching live. took me a while to dig up the name. fun that i actually remembered the pitcher because of the silver slugger
Been a cubs fan since childhood in the early 2000s right after sosa and prior is when i was old enough to really pay attention, but 6-4-3 Lee, Rami and Fonzi were fuckin legendary in chicago, what a trio and yeah thats what we called em
2011 Martin had no business making the All-star team. I remember it being a joke at the time nevermind looking back at his numbers. But it said Yankee on his jersey so that means different set of rules than the rest of the league
Chat GPT prompt: "Can you provide a list of MLB players that led their league (American or National) in a statistical category, then later in their career played in the opposite league and led that league in the same category? An example is that Nolan Ryan led the American League in ERA in ERA in 1972 with the California Angels and the National League in 1987 with the Houston Astros."
Russell Martin took about 5 seconds to get. Didn't get Derek Lee, I was looking for the love child of Aramis Ramirez, Jeff Conine, and Carlos Lee. Didn't get Hampton either. Greinke was easy, and I thought based upon the silhouette I thought the other might've been Zach Davies.
Derrek Lee had a great 2005 (as a Cubs fan I remember clearly) but that's a totally fraudulent Gold Glove that should have gone to Albert Pujols. Pujols had 13 DRS, Lee had 5. but that's not as bad as Lee winning the GG in 2003 where he was literally the 3rd worst fielding 1B in baseball with -8 Defensive runs saved. STINKY
These guys work for a baseball cetric company and dont know who Derrek Lee is??? The Owner of the company does not know Mike Hampton??? What in the world is going on over there?!?

Haha same! Congrats
Ahh Max Fried, owner of the last Silver Slugger for pitchers that will ever be given out
😌
Got all 3 really quick, Glad to see the Derrek Lee love as I was definitely complaining about it like BBD mentioned lmao. Missed 1 on the trivia
One of the smoothest swings ever.
all cubs fans got "first baseman for the marlins in 2003" instantly
Brought back memories of being excited when they signed Lee. Also memories of his wrist snapping in 06 and dampening his ability at the plate.
What could have been... 😢
And marlins fans 😂
Truly instantly! 😂
INSTANT!
Guy was such a baller in the mid-2000's

“I didn’t watch much NL during this time” Jimmy the dude beat your team in the World Series
As a Braves fan I had a visceral reaction to the hard. Still cannot believe the BRaves invest that much money in Hampton.
The COACH photo for Mike Hampton had me rolling lol
An underrated highlight of these is finding the most obscure photo of the player possible. Hey there's Ichiro!...when he played for the Marlins for 10 minutes.
More of this time period, please. The middle aged dads shine today. I got all 3 immediately.

Hear! Hear!
haha same
Haha same!
I start to miss answers from 2010 onward. I'm prime from 1995-2005.
Got Martin and Hampton, and racked my brain to think who was on first when Beckett tagged Jorge for the final out of 2003 WS, but came up blank...
Welcome back to “JM employees have no clue about anything except the AL East” game of the week
4/45 years shown were AL East teams, and they got 15/21 total guesses as a group right, including 3 people who got all of them right. But yea, they only know the AL East
@@pohorex6834what do you mean 4/45? [Easy round] alone had 6 years in the AL east
@@daleftuprightatsoldierfield I didn’t see the Yankees, only counted the blue jays by mistake. But look at the teams from the other 2 difficulties. Literally half a year between the other 2
I am shocked they all didn’t get Greinke. 😵💫
I got the ref guess so quick.
I love pitchers who can (could) hit.

I was a huge Derrek Lee fan growing up as a Cubs fan. Fun player to watch.
derrek lee is my all time favorite baseball player, it made me so happy to see him included as an answer in this episode :)
❤❤❤ Love this game. I'm always yelling at my phone 😂😂 Derrick Lee!!!!!!
Keep up the awesome work
holy moly this was the first of these that i actually got all 3, i havent felt this happy in years. i only guessed mike hampton because i remember watching baseball tonight forever ago with my dad, and for some reason i remember a segment on mike hampton being a great hitting pitcher and i remember specifically him being in a rockies uniform during a highlight
3:58 i was internally debating myself so much on derek lee and soon as jake said that i knew. no idea he’d played for the marlins previous
Derrek Lee in a Pirates cap is just foul
You gotta make a mannis tax where you only choose certain stats to show max, the guy is too automatic
somehow got the hard solely because I remembered there was a rockies pitcher that had a bunch of home runs and beat the dodgers in a game he hit one that i was watching live. took me a while to dig up the name. fun that i actually remembered the pitcher because of the silver slugger
I see Refugees whenever I read this title
Been a cubs fan since childhood in the early 2000s right after sosa and prior is when i was old enough to really pay attention, but 6-4-3 Lee, Rami and Fonzi were fuckin legendary in chicago, what a trio and yeah thats what we called em
I’m just playing catch up on all of these. There needs to be a 2 first names episode if there isn’t already!
I got #2 immediately but even as a Cubs fan I completely forgot how incredible his '05 season was.
Big 'Burn After Reading' reference
Didn't know Greinke got a SS, I knew he was good at hitting but I did get Max Freid.
Man hit 2 homers in one game in 2017. He's the only pitcher outside of Ohtani who regularly gets hitting highlights videos.
Russell Martin took me a literal second. One look.
I think this is the first one that I've gotten all 3 levels and the bonus.
I knew the hard one right away. Back when I watched baseball all the time lol
Of course I got hard in 2 seconds but struggled with the others mightily lol
I got the trivia in about 5 seconds, which made me feel really good about not getting Medium or Hard.
From 1990-2008 Greg Maddux won every NL Gold Glove except for one. That one going to Mike Hampton 😂
For me this was by far the easiest yet. Took me like 3 seconds each. Weird that they struggled like they did, they're usually putting me to shame.
2011 Martin had no business making the All-star team. I remember it being a joke at the time nevermind looking back at his numbers. But it said Yankee on his jersey so that means different set of rules than the rest of the league
Somehow, I got everything but the easy round. Good Stuff!
lol I only got the easy ref guess, then nailed the trivia in two guesses... I don't think that's how it's supposed to work
Shocked that many of them didn’t get the hard question. The one year on the Mets should’ve been a dead giveaway.
Somehow had no trouble with the Hard category but totally blanked on the other two.
This is so fun and great!
Big day for Braves. Had a player at every level. If I was playin I woulda won 😂😂
Players who have led both the AL and NL in a specific category (ex. Nolan Ryan strikeouts in 1972 & 1987)

How dare you put D. LEE In a pirates uniform. Dude was a Cub and will always be a Cub.
cant believe i missed easy and got medium & hard. good theme!
3 for 3 on opening day! LET'S GOO!!!
Maybe save for august but gotta do a former LLWS players in the majors.
Greinke’s long hair made his silhouette look like he had a fat neck, and I was thinking “no way this is Bartolo Colon”.
for the third one i went "oh its that guy who did really well in the 2000 nlcs for the mets' and then came up with NOTHING
I'm not much of a successful ref guesser but today is a marquee day. I got Derek Lee.
I didn't know the first 2 but I got Hampton instantly and I saw the trivia and spat out Grienke, Fried, and Degrom
finally some NL players. it made this weeks easier but i missed the easy, go figure.
Russell Martin took about 5 seconds to get. Didn't get Derek Lee, I was looking for the love child of Aramis Ramirez, Jeff Conine, and Carlos Lee. Didn't get Hampton either. Greinke was easy, and I thought based upon the silhouette I thought the other might've been Zach Davies.
As a Mets fan Mike Hampton was incredibly easy. Couldn't make me hard at all.
Got Derrek Lee and Mike Hampton but missed Russell Martin 🤦♂️
You should do "Players who have appeared on the cover of a video game"
Triple crown winners hitting/pitching. Idk maybe that's too easy lol
You could do players to play for the moneyball A's
90s catchers your mom loved, Darren Daulten over Mike Piaza
This week's was pretty easy. For some reasons hard was easiest. Easy and Medium took a couple seconds though.
Do one with runner ups to various awards
All 3 were actually easy. I really enjoy this game.
Surprised by the guys not knowing Greinke
Got all 3.
Mike Hampton was kinda easy for me. He could rake.
Still hoping for a 2 first names Ref Guess!
Mattingly did this three years in a row.
“I’m a second baseman”
Shout out Russell Martin!
You should try another level where you remove the positions, age, and awards
couldn't get the easy one, but the medium and hard i guessed it in 10 seconds go figure
Playes who have played for multiple California based teams 👀
Easy ✅
Medium ✅
Hard✅
Got final answer correct as well and I was able to name both answers correctly.
Trivia round easy af
I got all of these right away lmao
Name the opening day starter based off their stats.
I love how I got the hard one in like, 5 seconds. 😭
I usually find hard easier than medium
i’m so bad at reading player positions on baseball reference, i feel like the numeric position system is so confusing for no reason
yeah I can never remember which number is which instantly, I also never remember which one is Left and which is Right field lol
@@BendyDH and if they played multiple positions? forget it. like how am i supposed to know what *2HD/596 means?
How do u not remember Mike Hampton guys?
i guessed mike leake too
I keep going 2 for 3
Derrek Lee had a great 2005 (as a Cubs fan I remember clearly) but that's a totally fraudulent Gold Glove that should have gone to Albert Pujols.

I can’t believe I got Mike hampton
I got Zach greinke but lado guessed madbum and Michael Lorenzen
This one was right in my wher house
It might be time to stop calling Canobbio “boxing guy.” He’s better at this than the Talkin Baseball guys.
Does anyone know how to use the program stars in RTTS I been choosing em out of the 3 challenges but I don't know how to use them
Try some second generation players
Name European-born players by stats
These guys work for a baseball cetric company and dont know who Derrek Lee is??? The Owner of the company does not know Mike Hampton??? What in the world is going on over there?!?
Did this in 15 seconds
DEREK LEE!!!!
Yankee Fans and Russell Martin. Hmm.
I'll say it: when "shmedium" doesn't make it into the edit it ruins the episode for me.
Dude look around us, WHO CARES ABOUT BASEBALL?
me
???????
