The hard player is likely part of a pretty exclusive group (maybe even the only one) - pitchers who recorded their first & last save with the same team, had fewer than 10 total saves with that team, but is a member of the 300 saves club.
Surprised the medium player got so many people, since I got him quicker than easy, but then again he broke my heart in 1997 when I was an Indians fan and then again 13 years later when I moved to Texas and jumped on the Rangers bandwagon. Also surprised nobody got the trivia question. Felt like it was a gimme question. Anyways, still hoping for a 90s All-Stars round.
Wow I'm shocked at the performances here. I thought the Easy-Medium-Hard was the easiest of the whole season, and I'm not a Cardinals fan lol. GREAT Trivia Question though.
So glad everyone else struggled as much as I did with the medium. I felt just like shelfy, Only started really paying attention to baseball in 07 or so and an NL East fan yet had no clue
I don't know why you said the difference between first and second in bWAR is 2.5 because Mark Fidrych had a 9.6 bWAR in his rookie season which is only 0.9 below Trout.
hell yeah I won the video. Renteria was a great brave so i got him instantly. Im surprised i got isringhausen. and like jolly said when in doubt say trout
Medium player I and many Giants fans will forever be grateful for the clutch HRs he hit in Game2 and especially Game 5. Thank you for bringing the title to San Francisco
Wow that was like the easiest trivia in a long time and nobody got it lmao, Trout is the WAR guy!! Medium stumping people kinda surprised me, but I know him well since he was a godsend for that 2010 giants team
For whatever reason, I got Medium and Hard straight away but had Andre Ethier stuck in my head for Easy. Pedantic time on your trivia question, Shoeless Joe Jackson had a 9.2 or 9.3 WAR his rookie season, depending on whether you use fWAR or bWAR. Trout is still way ahead, though. I'm assuming we're only talking about hitters, because Russ Ford had an 11.4 bWAR for the New York Highlanders back in 1910. (300 IP probably helped) Not sure you'd get many people guessing him, though.
Easily got Puig and Isringhausen, but my brain kept seeing shortstop for Marlins and was screaming Hanley Ramirez even though I knew the years were wrong.
Yasil Puig- ✔ Edgar Renteria-✔ watching them think this was hard was painful. Jason Isringhausen- ✔ these were easy AF Ichiro and Judge were great but they're going by WAR so there can be only one... MIKE TROUT
Fuck yes. I loved Renteria. Finally getting some RefGuess love. I slot him into Immaculate Grid whenever I can. Also, another very easy for the older fellas. I got Isringhausen IMMEDIATELY.
Seeing those guys miss on the softball question that is Trout's rookie year was painful. Also, moneyball legend Jason Isringhausen certainly isn't a hard??
*SPOILERS AHEAD* I was able to get the Easy player, the Hard player (thanks to Moneyball) and the Trivia player, but not the Medium player. I do not know ball, but I was fortunate to get 3 players who were in my limited sphere of knowledge.
This went hard-easy-easy for me. Completely brainfarted the first one by saying Todd Hollandsworth and never going to anyone else. Second guy holds a place in the heart of any 2000s Red Sox fan, since he grounded out to Foulke for the final out of the World Series. Finally, Oakland is almost in my backyard, so spotting the third guy from the saves stats was easy. Got fooled by the silhouette on the trivia question and thought maybe Jolly but some old-timer, so I put Babe Ruth. You'd think the shades on the cap would have clued me in that it was someone recent but oh well.
Third is way to easy Izzie. He was on sports illustrated I think with his boys bill and Paul. Generation k Mets. Izzie blew up his arm so he closed. What’s weird I can remember him throwing a knuckle curve and one game they played the dodgers and Vinny said about his ears “the cabs doors are open. “
“It’s probably a generic name person” one of the most notable baseball names in terms of uniqueness
Jimmy naming 03 Marlins instead of 97 Marlins... Hilarious.
And Jolly agreeing with him.
Gotta keep the boss happy
And saying the 98 Marlins won the WS instead of the 97 team, when it was literally his own team that won in 1998.
Us 6 Marlin fans on youtube are used to the disrespect lol
Millennial baseball fans rejoice in getting Renteria and Isringhausen instantly
I'm shocked that Isringhausen was hard and Renteria was medium, Id've had the opposite
Yes.
The hard player is likely part of a pretty exclusive group (maybe even the only one) - pitchers who recorded their first & last save with the same team, had fewer than 10 total saves with that team, but is a member of the 300 saves club.
That’s such an ESPN stat & I love it
Stat nerd boner 😂
Shocked a lot of the guys struggled with 2010 WS MVP Edgar Renteria
Technically, Jimmy did watch the 97 World Series or at least the most important hit by Renteria with Jake on Watchin Baseball
And the even more important celebration laps run by Jim Leyland
I love those world series videos
Surprised the medium player got so many people, since I got him quicker than easy, but then again he broke my heart in 1997 when I was an Indians fan and then again 13 years later when I moved to Texas and jumped on the Rangers bandwagon. Also surprised nobody got the trivia question. Felt like it was a gimme question.
Anyways, still hoping for a 90s All-Stars round.
That one year in Boston was a dead giveaway. His fielding went from decent to AWFUL. Pretty sure he led the league in errors that season.
As a Cards fan, Renty was my favorite player. He was awesome. Hall of Very Good
I also got Renteria right away since I'm a Giants fan and 2010 was a special season
Wow I'm shocked at the performances here. I thought the Easy-Medium-Hard was the easiest of the whole season, and I'm not a Cardinals fan lol. GREAT Trivia Question though.
This was probably the first RefGuess that I got every answer correct almost immediately. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
Justice for "The Bird" Mark Fidyrich who has 9.6 WAR in his rookie year. Less than 2.5 below first place Mike Trout😔
It was for position players.
@@bruh-vp1fp I mean the answer is the same either way, but when did they say that question was only about position players?
p sure that’s what bWar is iiuc
So glad everyone else struggled as much as I did with the medium. I felt just like shelfy, Only started really paying attention to baseball in 07 or so and an NL East fan yet had no clue
I don't know why you said the difference between first and second in bWAR is 2.5 because Mark Fidrych had a 9.6 bWAR in his rookie season which is only 0.9 below Trout.
Position players!
Puig as Vinny called him the wild horse when he ran around. He was so electric when he arrived. Dude was a middle linebacker playing baseball
Renteria is easily one of my favs of all time so happy to see him included
Shortstop
Came up with Marlins
Was a hitter his whole career
"I was thinking Rick Ankiel"
hell yeah I won the video. Renteria was a great brave so i got him instantly. Im surprised i got isringhausen. and like jolly said when in doubt say trout
This video is 6 minutes of screaming Edgar rentaria
Shelfy gonna go on an insane run these last 5 weeks, I can feel it
2:45
A SF Giants World Series Legend!
He was a legend way before that in Florida hitting the walk off game seven hit
Shoutout to the greatest Colombian player of all time, Edgar Rentería
Some fun names in this one. Guys that I like to use in my grids, kudos to Jolly for the good taste in ball players
Lots of disrespect toward Kid Nichol’s 1890 13 WAR rookie season.
12:00 “did he get traded yet?” 😂😂
Medium player I and many Giants fans will forever be grateful for the clutch HRs he hit in Game2 and especially Game 5. Thank you for bringing the title to San Francisco
One of my other favorite memories from Renteria that doesn't get talked about as much is his Grand Slam against the Rockies in 2009
All 3 rounds and the bonus the one that gave me the most trouble was Easy. I can’t believe nobody got the trivia too
Never realised how not good [MEDIUM] was. Thought he was way better.
If you watched the slugfest tournament recently, someone had cardinals and that’s the only way I knew medium was Edgar Renteria
Took me less than 10 seconds to get the medium player. Thank you, MVP Baseball 04 and 05 for my mid 2000's baseball knowledge lol.
Wow that was like the easiest trivia in a long time and nobody got it lmao, Trout is the WAR guy!!
Medium stumping people kinda surprised me, but I know him well since he was a godsend for that 2010 giants team

(300 IP probably helped) Not sure you'd get many people guessing him, though.
Otherwise absolutely useless bit of info but it works here- Ethier was a Dodger lifer, never played for anyone else.
I got Renteria and Isringhausen faster than I got Puig - Loved me some Edgar Renteria when he was on the Cardinals
Was really looking for a mark the bird fidrych. Just in general it'd be cool to see some more historical guys
I was shocked the medium and hard players weren't flipped, feel like that would've more accurately reflected the difficulty but it happens
Loved this round of RefGuess as a Cardinals fan. Hated: Yasiel Puig Loved: Edgar Renteria Learned to love, but hated at the time: Jason Isringhausen
I missed on medium but got Puig and Isringhausen in seconds
Damn... Edgar got me too. That was a tough medium, though I should've remembered him, given how long of a career he had.
I love when BBD is in these
This might have been the fastest I got every player on one of these. I'm surprised at how so many got tripped up by Edgar Renteria.
Generation K sighting!
Easily got Puig and Isringhausen, but my brain kept seeing shortstop for Marlins and was screaming Hanley Ramirez even though I knew the years were wrong.
Jake vs. Max for the crown is the ultimate Good Vibes vs. Awful Vibes showdown lmao
Jake is comfortable being a baseball nerd, Max thinks he’s a loser for being a baseball nerd
The Rentaria one was easy for me. Surprised too see some of them struggle naming him.
Renteria was an easy one for me, being an '05 Red Sox SS was all I needed
I forget how good Renteria was for my Bravos. Man he could hit
3/5. Missed on Trout
I met puig in Chattanooga a week before he was called up. Something I will never forget
This is probably the best I’ve ever done guessing on an episode.
Yasil Puig- ✔
Edgar Renteria-✔ watching them think this was hard was painful.
Jason Isringhausen- ✔ these were easy AF
Ichiro and Judge were great but they're going by WAR so there can be only one... MIKE TROUT
Fuck yes. I loved Renteria. Finally getting some RefGuess love. I slot him into Immaculate Grid whenever I can.
Also, another very easy for the older fellas. I got Isringhausen IMMEDIATELY.
Is it just me or has Ref Guess become increasingly easy the past few months or so ?
Izzy being hard mode is insane got it within a min
Respect for BBD rocking the Manly sea eagles
Oof, I forgot who Renteria was but got Izzy immediately. Shows how we all define "hard" differently.
now i wanna hear about Jomboy's time in Australia
Got Edgar Renteria from all of those Cardinal years!
Not often you get a perfect kickflip on film
I feel so old watching these...missed easy but got medium and hard right away
That Nelly Furtado reference 😂😂
Dan Rourke sighting🚨
I have just come to peace with the fact that Furcal and Renteria are the same guy in my head.
I can’t believe they didn’t get Mike Trout! He should have won MVP too.
Thank you moneyball for helping me remember Jason isringhousen
Promiscuous Jake
Is Renteria's 100RBI season the fewest home runs in the modern era for a 100+RBI season?
Dan Rourke out here looking like Theo Von
Seeing those guys miss on the softball question that is Trout's rookie year was painful. Also, moneyball legend Jason Isringhausen certainly isn't a hard??
Idk, maybe it's hard if you didn't watch Moneyball? That's the only reason I got his name.
@@hkgcgsdhjgd even if not, he was one of the top closers in the game for a few years, but yeah without Moneyball it's hard
Ik about sporacle and immaculate inning. But how do you do things like these ? What's the word for them?
Me getting medium and hard mode in 2 seconds each made me feel so old
I have no visual memory of Puig being with any team other than the Dodgers.
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
I was able to get the Easy player, the Hard player (thanks to Moneyball) and the Trivia player, but not the Medium player. I do not know ball, but I was fortunate to get 3 players who were in my limited sphere of knowledge.

Millennial Cards fan here. This was cake!
A wild Dan sighting nice
Been waiting all day for this one
As a reds fan puig is definitely my favorite less than a year on the team player ever
Jason Isringhausen, noted member of Generation K!
Yup got Isringhausen right away. Typical Met career. Got hyped as Generation K.
Idk why my brain takes so long to get Edgar Renteria but I pull Jason Isringhausen in 2 seconds
Anyone else fold on medium but get the hard in 5 seconds ?
Yep. I only knew the Hard player because of Moneyball.
I guessed Gooden, but the 12.2 WAR was his 2nd season.
the tragedy of Yasiel Puig😥
Anyone else feel like the silhouette made the trivia kinda obvious?
All three came to me instantly
I didn’t know Puig was so… average… In my head he is still a guy every team wants
HOW DID THEY NOT KNOW TROUT?!
7:40. Sadly i watched that world series. Jose freaking mesa. Still stings.
Joez definitely gets Edgar
Third is way to easy Izzie. He was on sports illustrated I think with his boys bill and Paul. Generation k Mets. Izzie blew up his arm so he closed. What’s weird I can remember him throwing a knuckle curve and one game they played the dodgers and Vinny said about his ears “the cabs doors are open. “
Personal preference but if possible please keep the chapters to "Easy/medium/hard" so I can see the chapters and still play along.
A few of you dudes mention Rentaria in like every single video and suddenly he’s a tough guy to guess???? What???
Easy one for us old dudes today
My old ass had Edgar Renteria pinned * immediately *, lmao and the hard. Fuck I'm old
A banner week from this cards fan
I guessed trout. I recognized his silhouette
I spaced on puig but got renteria isringhausen instantly.
Everybody completely whiffing on MIKE TROUT is deeply embarassing...nobody even considered him!!!! How???
Come on guys. Edgar Renteria had 2 WS winning hits. I got him in like 10 seconds. And im way younger than all of you guys.
ITS THURSDAY
Got the hard rather quickly but missed the medium 😬
How?
1998 Marlins? Jomboy doesn't even know his own teams chips....
