Who can Draft a Starting 9 with the most Home Runs?

[@20DanielD]

The fact that BBD’s drafted team has a grand total of 1 more homer than the 2023 Braves and 2019 Twins really shows how insane those line ups performed.

[@OwenKlco]

2021 Semien has to be a first round pick

[@Noordhof]

Semien ranks about tenth since he has 6 HR over the third best option. He went late, but not a 1st rounder.

[@ryanwilson7241]

@@Noordhofbut he’s easily the leader for 2nd basemen that’s why

[@sneakysubspodcast]

Am I bugging or where the hell is mookie or jd Martinez

[@Noordhof]

@@sneakysubspodcast Betts maxed out a 32 would have been a sub-optimal pick, JD was selected by BBD late, Jake said he was worried he would only qualify as DH.

[@alexfeldman8731]

I was saying him the whole time

[@mrblb95]

JOLLY could you hit us with any behind the scenes stats? best possible lineup? position with the biggest HR disparity? that’d be dope

[@Noordhof]

Best Lineup: Sanchez, Davis, Semien, ARod, Torres, Judge, Bautista, Trumbo, Ortiz Judge 26 over 9th best OF, ARod 13 over 3rd best 3B

[@c00kies44]

I want to see best totals for each lineup using their rosters, but best years.

[@maaarcus7227]

This was very fun with everyone taking it seriously. Some of the trivias have been kinda annoying with Jimmy and as much as I like him, Joez basically half trolling the videos.

[@JaretDawson]

This is absolutely hilarious, would love to see this with other divisions/stats - RBIs would be fun, Ks for hitters where you want big numbers would be fantastic

[@charliep123]

Agreed!

[@ryancohen2513]

been internally screaming barry bonds the entire video and just remembered it was only al east players

[@sebastianbaquero7227]

Same, but with Salvy Perez 2019. (Or was it 2021?)

[@FTLnovaKid]

⁠@@sebastianbaquero7227 I was thinking salvy as well. 😅 Along with Bonds.

[@44jfarlee]

It took me 10 minutes before I realized lol

[@denizakin5645]

I went through almost the whole vid without noticing it's all AL East guys I feel dumb

[@FTLnovaKid]

@@denizakin5645 Your not alone

[@kevinm8934]

I really like this format. I want to see Jolly compete in an NL East version

[@thomascat7044]

So weird hearing Lucas' voice but he's the one playing, and Jolly being the one hosting after watching other drafts :D

[@MattEightSix]

Perfect video. Can’t wait to see the other five. Pitching wins maybe a good idea too. Jolly if you show the best possible lineup at the end that would be really cool. Well done as always.

[@GoodMorningJoel]

I have to imagine people forget because he's remembered moreso as a 90's guy or something, but Carlos Delgado's 00, 01 and 03 were all ~40 HR seasons

[@nomarlebron8456]

puerto rican legend! carlos beltran too!

[@jacobcollins4477]

Jolly comes up with the best ideas. Keep up the good work!

[@MaxMckayful]

This was a fantastic idea for a trivia game. Y'all are straight killing it lately on the content. Playing along, was proud of my myself for getting the Bag Papi best year, nabbed the good Soriano season, and if you don't use A-Rod at third, snuck a lucky Longoria 31 HR in 2011.

[@systemfan3]

I really enjoyed this. I love all the JM personalities in their own way, but these 3 really try hard every time and take it seriously and I love seeing that.

[@kevinhirtle9754]

Crazy no one picked the 2021 Marcus Semien

[@sammyhoops5902]

They sleep on the semen demon

[@OwenKlco]

Very strong argument that he should have been the 1st pick

[@welcomebackpotter722]

Donaldson 2015 was is always so slept on

[@MAEVELOVE1]

i was SCREEAAAMMMMING

[@ninjabands3887]

Absolutely need more of these

[@jakepelenis4524]

The videos are so much better when you get insane competitors together like this

[@zed2626]

Absolutely love this game! Can't wait to see the other divisions

[@davidsorensen2116]

BBD's strategy worked for what he was trying to do: he won 4 of the five infield positions. Ultimately not effective in the game, since he was unable to turn in a solid outfield. Interesting case study in maximizing for the wrong goal.

[@tonychen3628]

Weird, I mean Semien's second baseman's single-season HR record just set like 2 years ago, but no one picked him as the 2B😂

[@theJHeykid]

Love this style, so many possibilities you can do with this

[@mrbeastperson152]

This format is great would love to see more

[@ayeblinkin]

Love these types of drafts! I’ve seen some other channels do a penalty for guessing the wrong year (like -10 and guess again) I like the stakes it adds for those guys who maybe only played a year with the team. Great video though, I hope there’s more to come!

[@dantedentino735]

Please do more of these!!!! Let me do one with the guys!!!

[@mattforbes221]

Would love to see the wild guesses that come out once yall leave the AL East

[@matthewganie2131]

Love the Arron hill shoutout. Used to be my favorite Jay back in the day before we traded him to the D-backs

Honorable Mention C 03 Jason Varitek (25 HR) 1B 07 Carlos Pena (46 HR) 2B 21 Marcus Semien (45 HR) SS 21 Bo Bichette (29 HR) 3B 15 Josh Donaldson (41 HR) OF 09 Adam Lind (35 HR) OF 09 Jason Bay (36 HR) OF 03 Vernon Wells (33 HR) DH 03 Jason Giambi (41 HR)

[@yankees2864]

Was thinking of Donaldson 15

[@ianandrews1995]

SS 21 Tatis Jr. (42 HR). Nevermind. Apparently i missed where this was only AL East.

[@sneakysubspodcast]

Why did all 3 of them not use jd Martinez or mookie

[@andrewp2681]

Every home run from Varitek was a blessing

[@jmg999]

Lucas should ALWAYS be a part of any game played on this channel.

[@gaijinwilly]

Bill Simmons used to do the NBA drafts with the same kinda idea, I think he’d treat it like wine vintage. Mr. Fancy. Love the vids guys!!

[@shaymerten173]

This is a great concept, loved the video, now you can do all the divisions!🔥🔥

[@asdfaeou]

This was a brilliant game. Absolutely fun.

[@charlesoshiro5871]

Great format! Excited to see more of these for other divisions!

[@shone4947]

This is a great idea. Good job Jolly

[@13tsted]

Love this, it’s gonna be hard to do this for different divisions but will be easy to do for different stats, most Ks most loses RBIs most Fwar that would be great

[@GreenDPS]

I think this is the best team possible for this: C Gary Sanchez (2019) 34 1B Chris Davis (2013) 53 2B Marcus Semien (2021) 45 3B Alex Rodriguez (2007) 54 SS Gleyber Torres (2019) 38 OF Aaron Judge (2022) 62 OF Jose Bautista (2010) 54 OF Mark Trumbo (2016) 47 DH David Ortiz (2006) 54 Total 441

[@kaps1___785]

Donaldson 2015, Lowe 2021, Semien 2021, Betts 2018 was in my mind the whole video and they never picked them😭😭

[@z2001lhcjer]

👍 Do more of these...all the divisions.

[@tannersundwall12]

BBD, jake, lucas is a fantastic combo

[@Sensfan765]

As a Jays fan, I was thinking 2010 Bautista right after Judge was taken. After Bautista went, I began fixating on 2015 Donaldson. Good catch with Edwin, he somehow slipped my mind with all my brain power reminiscing on Donaldson’s MVP year. I was also surprised no one went early-mid 2000s Manny

[@Yougojojo2937]

More of this please.

[@SportsCasters2326]

Great video. Good job all around boys

[@welcomebackpotter722]

Do this next time with Joez, Lucas, and whoever you want as a third. Joez would be getting so pissed at lucas for his knowledge he would think he was cheating and it would be hilarious entertainment. Joez is a legend

[@slicedbread117]

This is an awesome idea! Great vid

[@charliep123]

[@mythcrab6047]

This video is awesome. Would be cool to somehow float the remaining positions or score counter as the game is going.

[@raymondshafer4669]

Do more of these! Even do it by only allowing a decade at a time ! Or you could break it down to only a decade and only a certain division !

[@zabelthomas3577]

Please more videos like this!!!!!

[@TheAmazingallan]

This is a fantastic idea

[@harryman_1324]

I think this would be cool to do not only limited to one division across the last 20ish years, but just the entire league last year, maybe with a 4th person to spread players out a bit more, but I get the format is kinda set on 3 players. Even with perfect knowledge, outside of the top few picks, there would be an interesting strategy as you dont necessarily want to pick the player with the most homeruns, but the player with the most homeruns over the next player at that position. And of course without perfect knowledge, youll have some fun off the wall guesses to make the game entertaining.

[@timlett99]

Feel like you should be given the players best year if you can't guess it but otherwise love this concept

[@birdinflight3861]

Dang why just AL East? Do this video for each division! Also, if they guess the player but during a year where they were in another division they should have to move on from that player until their next turn and give someone else a chance to guess the correct year if they want

[@sammelhuish286]
