[@CapnJack1]

wow what a pull with Brett Boone. GGs Jake

[@-Hoods]

Insane

[@ParanoidPuffin]

I just Bret Boone’d today on immaculate grid, never expected to get Bret Boone’d again

[@mxmschae]

Mariners legend baby

[@funkychilldude]

It’s funny to think Lucas is just pulling all the stats from memory off camera and they have to hold him out of these drafts because he’d be too good

[@glucosaminecondroitan9135]

Lucas did so well in the AL East draft.

[@BendyDH]

he is the human baseball reference, I think he creates every statline by memory for the website

[@yalikejazz2]

Jolly Olive being surprised at Troy Glaus and saying he never would have thought of Rafael Palmeiro really shows his youth. two of the biggest boppers i’ve ever seen.

[@BendyDH]

I can see not thinking of Troy Glaus but Rafael Palmeiro was an iconic power bat for a few years. Not really sure why he often gets overlooked looking back at 90s/2000s ball

[@dudochalmers10]

@@BendyDH Probably since MLB kinda hides him because of the steroid scandal and his in-court theatre lol

[@ryannelson4550]

Khris Davis hit 48 in 2018

[@43bg1]

Jake’s knowledge of the late steroid era guys (early 2000s) really helps out

[@timyac]

I kept waiting for someone to pick Griffey. I can’t believe he was already in Cincy by 2000.

[@TheTEN24]

Was expecting a pull of pudge Rodriguez and glad Jake named Glaus. Wow what an ending

[@thAnrax_]

I was waiting all video to hear that Khris Davis drop, dude hit nukes for a few years

[@glucosaminecondroitan9135]

And batted 247 four years in a row. I like collecting his cards.

[@BOB_983]

I would’ve picked 2018 Khris Davis first overall lol

[@jmiogo]

Awesome idea, as always! Please show the running totals as they draft to see whos ahead and how many hrs they need.

[@asdfaeou]

Evan Gattis out of nowhere, as is usually the case with Evan Gattis.

[@CapnJack1]

love it, I was hoping y'all would do AL West. Excited to see how they struggle.

[@GenoLewan]

I loved this contest! Would love to see more like this! Always impressed by all of your knowledge!

[@shawnmtorresvalles40]

Jake was googling numbers for sure when he pulled his phone out

[@alexpainter4227]

I think a cool one would be hits in a single season for a player in all 9 lineup spots, or Ks for a pitcher in a single season, 5 starters, 5 relievers

[@baseballfan1918]

Love these episodes, keep them coming.

[@Dune24]

Loving this series!

[@ianheinze255]

Was really hoping for a Richie Sexson pull.

[@parkrex1]

Quickly becoming my favorite trivia segment. Too bad it has a limit. Hopefully some other stats will work.

[@BendyDH]

I'm sure we'll go to RBIs, Strikeouts, etc after they finish Home Runs

[@snapfade]

The home run draft videos are the best

[@Marc21j]

Great game, keep these up!

[@jakobgoodwin9742]

How did 2023 Adolis Garcia not come up. 39 HR, felt like a great pick for the tie-breaker. Didn't finish the video before saying this.

[@dynamicvoltage9765]

Yeah...that's what I was wondering. No need to guess on that one. Still fresh in our minds.

[@glucosaminecondroitan9135]

I think having Lucas in these is awesome. Big D'Versa fan.

[@MikeLowell-fx8jt]

I think this is the best game/ trivia yet

[@ThatRedHusky]

Im surprised no one guess 2021 Haniger. Dude was a STUD and carried the mariners. AND he was injured a lot. Easily could've hit 40-45.

[@ParanoidPuffin]

This is consistently my favorite trivia format, after the HR draft hopefully they do Ks or RBIs

[@-Hoods]

I like these a lot 😁

[@user-yg4mn9md8t]

damn,i'm surprised that none of them chooses jiambi 01

[@Karmy.]

Clearly BBD is forgetting the main player that needed to be replaced in Moneyball

[@lofo3232]

My Lineup C 2000 Ivan Rodriguez - 27 1B 2009 Kendrys Morales - 34 2B 2011 Ian Kinsler - 32 3B 2019 Matt Chapman - 36 SS 2019 Marcus Semien - 33 OF 2021 Mitch Haniger - 39 OF 2021 Kyle Tucker - 30 OF 2012 Josh Reddick - 32 DH 2006 Frank Thomas - 39 total 302 3rd place

[@BlueRasberry13]

Me yelling KHRIS DAVIS at the screen this entire video

[@sl796]

This is the dream foursome right here. I would've tried to sneak in an Edgar Martinez and Pudge Rodriguez somewhere in my lineup.

[@mathewbreh3081]

Love the big dumper shout out and the Bret Boone pull. Shocked no one took Ken Griffey Jr. Go M’s!

[@joshhudson4559]

Big fan of this series, gotta get Jake and Dalton on one

[@ontherun5627]

This was fun. I normally suck at these games, but I did pretty well today with a 347 HR total: C - 2001 Ivan Rodriguez (25) 1B - 2000 Jason Giambi (43) 2B - 2001 Bret Boone (37) 3B - 2000 Troy Glaus (47) SS - 2002 Miguel Tejada (34) OF - 2019 Mike Trout (45) OF - 2023 Shohei Ohtani (44) OF - 2000 Garret Anderson (35) DH - 2001 Edgar Martinez (37) My sweet spot for baseball knowledge is my childhood, specifically the 2003-2006 years, so players in the late 90s to late 2000s are really in the wheelhouse.

[@Sashabug-gd2uk]

Why is Ohtani in the OF?

[@lv100swagneton4]

Looking very forward to NL West! Whoever wins the first pick gets a monster boost.

[@ariw8612]

Who would that be?

[@jooneykim3163]

01 bonds@@ariw8612

[@evelyn8168]

2001 Bonds, with 73

[@ariw8612]

@@evelyn8168 oh lol

[@connormcquade2148]

When Jolly said A’s I was hoping he was going 18’ Khris Davis 🤣🤣

[@senrusho]

"I think he missed a ball over his head" - Jake YEP!

[@AlexanderFaker]

This whole video I was internally yelling for someone to pick Khrush Davis

[@kennethmcquiller1570]

You guys should do the same with strikeouts for pitchers. Get a starting 5 and bullpen

[@PHXNKVHXLIC]

David Fletcher off the top of my head, boom

[@acyrus6393]

Very surprised no one guessed Adolis this year

[@isaacharai1363]

2021 Kyle Seager would have been a great pull

[@brent4g89]

I’m so ready for my NL central

[@russellchung3119]

2013 Mark Trumbo is a good one, too.

[@Crambles]

Damn Jake looking at his phone around the 6 minutes 😂 Reasonable doubt!

[@matthewcox1825]

Khrush Davis had 48 in 2018

[@rybar828]

Kinda disappointed the Yankees fans didn’t use Mark Teixeira! 43 in ‘05 for Texas.

[@aaronwitt03]

2018 Khris Davis!

[@NicolasTermini]

Khris Davis 2018 48 homers?? Mark McGwire ?

[@josecarrera6519]

I was wondering why no one said mcgwire and then realized it was post 2000

[@SlurpCEO]

2018 Khris being disrespected by 2017 Khris

[@digbickb0i809]

Glaus is an Angel legend!

[@asherdarling9488]

NL West Next!

[@wolfpackjew]

AL west is my biggest blind spot, but I was wondering why no one was saying early 2000s Palmiero. I also would have gone for his teammate Pudge Rodriguez.

[@dynamicvoltage9765]

You could just do all the Rangers...Teixeira, Blalock, Kinsler, Soriano, Gonzo, etc

[@maicon_13]

Can u guys do this with pitcher year for strikeouts

[@sethshort8686]

Frank Thomas 06 39 big flys for the A's, Alfonso Soriano 05 with 36 playing 2nd base for the Rangers, and of course Pudge Rodriguez with 27 at catcher in 00 just missing his career high 35 in 99.

[@bendelillo3203]

Jake looking at his phone in these videos always seems super suspicious

[@ItsCrawdaddy]

I dunno how I missed this one, the AL West is MY SHIT.

[@theltrain102]

I was screaming 2018 khris Davis the whole vid

[@chrismechalke4503]

When you guys do NL west you should allow Barry Bonds to be picked but any year besides 2003

[@dynamicvoltage9765]

Yeah it's just not fair...his cheating ass gives you like 20+ right out of the gate

[@evanjones8949]

No Josh Donaldson till the end is crazy to me

[@hawkeye0378]

The disrespect to Khris Davis is wild. He had 3 straight 40+ HR seasons

[@zackaryhaselius2226]

Central is gonna be interesting. Not as many big names or huge seasons.

[@Karmy.]

NL Central might be won by whoever goes with Sammy Sosa '01 lol

[@t.r4849]

They already did that clown

[@notsauer]

Granted it’s harder being on the spot, but how do you not guess the juiced ball years of 2017 thru 2019 more often?

[@milostover6215]

2021 Mitch haniger would’ve been a dark horse he had a sneaky 39

[@giacomocolella6151]

The correct year for Khris Davis is 2018. He hit 48 that year

[@Speedster___]

0:10 text says NL East lol

[@Dtx1988]

Sleeping on pudge 2000 or 2001? He hit mid-20’s or so. Not bad for a catcher back then

[@paulsmith9198]

6:00 On his phone and then pulls Troy Glaus. Hmm.

[@DrewB2400]

Everybody always forgets about Kris Davis!

[@dynamicvoltage9765]

And yet the tragedy of Chris Davis remains

[@KingTitan186]

How do they forget. 247 for 4 straight years lol mightve been 3 though

[@ItsPearsonify]

No 2012 Josh Hamilton? Thought someone would grab that for sure.

[@shoukatsukai]

2010 Josh Hamilton was his MVP year, only hit 32 homers but its crazier he missed a whole month and still won MVP

[@zackaryhaselius2226]

Okay. Im immediatly thinking Josh Hamilton 2010. Alex Bregman 2019. Trout 2018. Ohtani 2022.

[@franzreyes846]

You're a year off on both of the Angels you mentioned

[@zackaryhaselius2226]

@@franzreyes846 close enough.

[@ItsPearsonify]

Off on Hamilton though quite the year too. 2012 with 43 HRs was the one I thought of. Though 2010 with 32 I believe wasnt bad either.

[@AngelMartinez-qi8kx]

Didn't griffey hit 54? And didn't Mike Zunino also have a big year with the Mariners?

[@johnr8645]

No Richie Sexton love?

[@jchristal82]

Griffey Jr. late 90s. Need old man Dan to pull the 90s players

[@KingTitan186]

Surprised no one said Krush Davis

[@FastlyPossible]

Too bad Griffey just barely missed the cut off.

[@m1sterbutt]

I would’ve said Griffey first

[@TheDonkeyJote]

Khris Davis had 48 in 2018

[@zachary3282]

Really Alfonso Soriano, Juan Gonzalez, Jose canseco, Rafael Palmeiro didn’t get named

[@t.r4849]

Are you dumb?

[@tylerwehner]

No 05 Soriano for 2b???

[@NavyP2013]

Rafael Palmeiro raked

[@ayydubs987]

bbd so salty as soon as he realized he wasn’t gonna win sheesh

Frank Thomas 2006 would have been a better choice than the Guerrero and Suarez picks at DH.

Am I trippin or did Texeira not hit 50+ in 2003?

[@daswaggotnumber1fan]

current adolis garcia?

[@harrisonbaylor1432]

Tie breaker should be just to name a pitcher who played in the division who has the most career home runs.

Jolly stop picking Cespedes bro, this is the 2nd time you made a major mistake picking him in these videos. Last time you picked Cespedes and then Andruw Jones was picked right after him

[@ethanschwalbach5049]

why does the host talk like that

I don't get the guessing on the tie-breaker...I'm picking Adolis Garcia 2023 and taking an easy W.
