Can we name Playoff MVPs with ONLY their stats?!

I think they should just do a stump Mannis round bc he seems like a ringer at this one. That was insane.

Does Max just have every single CS and WS MVP memorized and going off that alone? Or what? That was truly insane. Well worth a Twitter follow because he clearly knows ball!

[@jillhempel6987]

I would love to see a “Mad Max: Thunderdome” round where he names all 20,000+ MLB players in a speed round. O/U 10 minutes.

[@jimkelly7908]

There’s a quiz on Sporcle for naming all the MLB Hall of Famers. I barely got above 50% and I like to think I’m pretty knowledgeable. Max could get at least 75% with ease.

[@carlovinco698]

This is my favourite competition based content that your channels put out. It's great stuff!

[@chino_45808]

Love the series so far!! Can u guys do an ex Philadelphia phillie episode

[@Yuk1oh]

This is AMAZING content for baseball freaks. Would love to see more.

[@topoisomerace]

I'd love to see you guys do anything pre-2000. Some of us are a little older!

I look forward to this every week! Love this series! Went 3/3 today! Feels good to be in the Winner's Circle! See y'all next week!

[@ryansoltner5229]

ive not looked at a single stat in this series, i look at the years and the teams and get them every time.

[@yourewrong154]

He definitely said “easy, like my eggs” and I definitely heard “easy, like my ex”

[@jordza2k11]

Mannis needs his own bumper episode of how long it takes before you make him wrong

[@Vic-Vega]

I think the algorithm suggests most YT videos be at least 10 mins. at minimum, so that would be pretty pointless. I'm a pretty casual baseball fan, and I nailed these pretty quick (and I was taking my time). They honestly weren't that difficult, so cut out the nerd slurpage already.

[@MEDLINvisuals]

I definitely just read "refguess" as "refugees" at 9:02 lmao

I'd love to do a head to head with Mannis, the only one he got quicker was Garza. Also loved Jake's description of Garza because it is on the money lol

[@prestonjones20013]

Proud to say that I genuinely got all 3 of these correct. The Matt Garza one at the end would’ve stumped me, but being a Cubs fan I vividly remember his time with us from 2011-2013

[@Ryouski]

Liking all the JM crew getting their chance to shine!

[@TheHandofChuck]

I have now made it a personal goal of mine to one day be on an episode of Ref Guess and have a Ref Guess Face Off with Mannis to test our Baseball Reference mettle. A little salty that it took him 5 seconds to guess Garza when it took me a good 10 minutes lol. I absolutely love this segment.

[@theshimmyking1514]

This is the best damn show you guys make I can’t get enough

[@jayohlsbs1271]

Any episode that has Rony and Canobbio is gonna be a good one. They're up there with Nicky Cass and Joez in the JM Office at being casually hilarious.

[@thebigleague9305]

I barely even knew matt garza, didn't know any teams he played for aside from the rays. I only remember that I watched him pitch for the cubs once when I was about 9 or 10 and it was right before the deadline. He was having a good year and the announcers were saying he would probably get traded. Somehow I managed to pull that name out of the back of my head. Can't believe it

[@KTF0]

Could've sworn Garza played for the Cubs longer. That's why I didn't guess him for the last one.

[@lukeschiltz9688]

I love this series. Keep it coming. Surprisingly, I got all these this time.

[@LegolasLizard]

my goodness, Mannis

[@michaelrobinson9023]

This is seriously entertaining. Keep these up!

[@xTheLoneSniper]

LETS GO MAX

[@apinecone2753]

I will never forget matt garza. I remember the day he was traded to the cubs. I was just starting to get into baseball and my older brother made it seem like he was the greatest player of all time.

[@WilTonay]

I'd love to go head-to-head against Mannis. I get these about as quickly as he does.

[@chuckthebucket8461]

Crazy that Zach wasted approximately 11 seconds of Mannis' time with the chit chat. If he was fully focused he could've been around 10 seconds!

[@Crzysquirrel124thst]

So funny story… I like everyone else play along at home and the video with Yovani Gallardo being one of the answers I could’ve sworn it was Matt Garza so I looked up his Ref Page yesterday. Imagine my damn shock seeing that be the hard page for this video.

[@ingenito919]

Playing a lot of MLB 2K and Fantasy Baseball really made me know these players

[@ben2972]

for me, this was reverse order - i didn't know the easy one, the medium one i got after a moment, and the hard one i got immediately. fun game! :)

[@chad5483]

JM needs to replicate Stump the Schwab with Mannis!

[@jacoblangguth5125]

My guess for the third was Garza, which I was convinced I was wrong because I thought he was a Cub in 2010 when my Reds first won the division, but I couldn’t think of any other decent cubs from that era so I went for it and I was happily surprised

[@benhen7764]

Lohse also had a goatee

[@Me-uv6kc]

Max absolutely annihilated it, you need to give him way more obscure players

[@ctay7216]

I got the first two immediately. Garza threw me for a loop but holy shit do I remember him now. He was just good enough for me to really remember him when someone says his name but not good enough for me to remember on my own. That one was a good one jolly

[@JessePrimerano]

@Mannis I love the hoodie and the bottle my man!

[@ProSportsfan1711]

So when is refguess gonna get its own wordle style app/website?

[@brianhalligan9268]

Max doing Ref guess is what I imagine a futuristic AI doing like 1st grade math would look like.

[@TheTEN24]

I got then first two insanely fast like mannis fast lmao but I had no clue on the last one

[@austinnistico3845]

Not sure what or when this would be applicable for a category, but just stumbled upon C.J. Wilson's BaseballReference page and had no clue he was a reliever for nearly half of his career, might throw some people off idk

[@NJP7295]

Got Kendrick and Freese in about 5-10 seconds each, Garza took me a couple minutes to remember his name. Had the goatee in my mind, too. Lmao.

[@alexvandierendonck3317]

I didn’t get Garza but I knew the player was traded from Minnesota for Trevor Plouffe’s boy Delmon Young

[@kingpm9072]

The next Stark Raving Sports vid should be Butterfly Effect: how the Rangers handed the Cubs a World Series Starring: Mike Olt, Giovanni Soto, Justin Grimm, Matt Garza, Kyle Hendricks, Ryan Dempster, and Taylor TeaGarden

[@TylerYTwo]

I struggled in the past episodes but shockingly each round this episode took max 30 seconds.

[@23CJ94]

There was like 10 Rays pitchers running through my head and unfortunately Garza wasn't one of them, even tho I was a legend in Milwaukee too

2 videos in a row, I miss the easy and medium, but I get the hard one. Either these are not ranked properly or I'm just backwards

I haven't missed a single one yet from this whole series

[@griffinhays2053]

I got Freese about as quick as Mannis I'm proud of that

[@nategrandusky172]

I got hard mode in like 2 seconds, yet couldn’t get medium! Afterall, Matt Garza is one of the most renowned pitchers in Rays history, so it was pretty easy.

[@Queue26]

I usually get them before the screen turns white, Garza took a couple seconds. Just behind mad Max.

[@reed5369]

first time i actually got each of them right. almost couldnt remember Garza's name but i knew the face, then it came to me. Also i really liked the music

Another 2/3 week here. Missed David Freese

Normally, i can get the first two but not the third. This time, i missed the first two and got the third. To be fair, i could see Howie Kendrick's face, but couldn't think of his name.

I'm genuinely confused why everyone's wetting themselves over his "speed" -- I think you kinda either know these guys, or you don't -- not a whole lot of middle ground (Garza could be the possible exception here).

Couldn't even do the first one because as soon as I clicked the video, the thumbnail changed to Howie Kendrick's picture right away. Maybe don't spoil them for people trying to watch?
