Marco Estrada’s game 5 of the 2015 ALCS was INSANE. Like one of the most clutch, precise baseball games ever pitched. Go watch the highlights. Naaaaasty changeup.
I remember talking to my buddy thinking “even if they lose this game, he’s going to get a huge standing ovation when he makes his season debut next year”
Wade Davis giving up 7 ER in 2015 just shows how dominate he was. If you didn’t have the lead against the Royals by the 7th inning, you were going to lose. One of the best bullpens in the history of baseball.
Wade in 2014-2015 was unhittable. We are talking prime Mariano Rivera unhittable. Makes you wonder what his career would look like if he made the move to the pen sooner.
berkman should absolutely be a hall of famer. career .950 ops, 350+ HR, championship, multiple all star selections, etc. dude was a top ten position player for a decade.
I'm here before they've guessed the hard pick but that is MARCO ESTRADA!!!!! If you're a Jays fan like me that was the best time of our franchise since '92/'93 and Estrada was absolute nails in the playoff. I still remember the ovation he got walking off the mound in the 8th inning of the ALCS against the Royals, absolute chills! Still can't believe we didn't make the World Series that year
I’m really surprised that I got it. It was the only name that came to mind and I was expecting to be wrong. I love this game so much because it plays right into my useless baseball knowledge that no one else cares about in real life.
I am so happy to finally have my first super comfortable/ easy 3 answers in all my ref guess career I am an AL East fanatic especially living in Canada and supporting the Blue Jays growing up Thanks for making Thursday fun for me and keep it up... cannot wait for the season finale
Marco Estrada is a Blue Jays legend for a great showing against Texas in the 2015 ALDS and a legendary 2015 ALCS performance against Kansas City. Then a year later against Texas in the 2016 ALDS, he pitches another gem, an outing so dominant that it inspired a Fangraphs article titled "The Rangers' worst swings against Marco Estrada". It's hilarious.
Wade Davis was 32 for 33 in save situations for the cubs in 2017, only blowing the last game of the year to the brewers, after the cubs already clinched, which I believe eeked the brewers into the playoffs, and started a their rise to taking over the NL central
As a Jays fan, just screaming Marco Estrada's name for 5 straight minutes haha. But I was coin flipping between Wade Davis and Greg Holland (Joaquin Soria as the 3rd head bullpen monster).
Tom Gorzelanny was described as Maddux-esque his rookie year in Pittsburgh. It’s always wild to me how young these guys are that the 2000s seems so far away :(.
The fact that the boys struggled with Wade Davis kind of shocked me. He was damn near unhittable in 2014 and 2015. When your All-Star closer can go down to TJ and the set up man can come in and do just as well, that is telling. The law firm of Herrera, Davis, and Holland was dominant.
As a Brewers fan who also grew up in Massachusetts, I really, really, really don’t like the Cardinals and Yankees, and when in the NL Central, I did not care for the Astros. But damn it, I absolutely adore Lance Berkman despite him having a very successful career playing for all those teams. Still underrated and under appreciated.
Now THIS was a RefGuess challenge. Only got Easy, thought Meduim was indeed Hellickson LOL. For the trivia challenge I thought Colorado was one of the guesses because of the insane 2007 run to the pennant but I guess the other playoff appearance a decade later wiped that out
Dude I said Wade Miley for intermediate instead of Wade Davis on such a layup intermediate question. I'm going to be thinking about this for the next 30 years
Lance Berkman was and still is underrated. He was always outshined by Bonds, Pujols, and Helton so he never won MVP or even a freaking Silver Slugger! He defintely deserved one
I’ve been keeping track of my score all season and I finished with 97 points as well. Add me to the final showdown lol. Can’t wait till next season for RefGuess, definitely my favorite game here.
I knew one of those teams was going to be Cleveland just because 1994 was the cutoff. It hints that 1995 would be an important year for at least one of the teams. Who hasn't won a Series, but had a good 1995? Cleveland.
Mixed up Wade Davis with Greg Holland (that name stuck in my head and I couldn’t get it out) but I’m glad I got hard. Even as a Brewers fan, that Marco Estrada Hard Round was TOUGH but the reason I knew it was because I distinctly remember him leading the league in HRs allowed in 2014. Oh, my 2014 Brewers… first to 50 wins, and later collapsed and missed the playoffs altogether :(
For the trivia before I hear the answer. The Rockies instantly came to mind. Bruh I completely “misread” the question 😂😂😂😭 I thought it meant in a single post-season not all postseasons since 1994 combined.
Tom gorzelanny Pittsburgh Pirates legend almost went to the ASG as a final vote back in the day lowkey sweet then traded to Chicago went to Milwaukee too
Marco Estrada was a good Hard. I was stuck on Marco Gonzales for a while before coming up with Estrada. My thoughts for the trivia question were the Guardians and Rays but good thing we only needed one right. A fun challenge would be to have 90s All-Stars and then lay out a bunch of junk wax baseball cards one of whom is the correct answer, and have players pick out the right one. Anyways congrats on BBD for the bronze medal. I guess he won't get a spot in the showdown though.
Hey guys I have a question I bought some tickets off of seat geek for the first time. I'm in the app. What part of the app will I show the people at the gate to officially access the tickets
The fact that Lance Berkman was dropped off the HOF ballot in his first year of eligibility is a disgrace. He has a top 25 OPS in the history of baseball.
lol on the contrary I only got hard and got it within 10 seconds, whereas I missed Davis (guessed Holland within seconds and didn't think about it enough) and wasn't a fan until post-Berkman era
Do a special episode in October some time. Not related to the season so points don’t count. But pick a few players and only show their postseason stats.
If we throw out the steroid users like Bonds Manny & McGwire, then Lance Berkman has the 2nd highest career OPS of any player not in the Hall of Fame (after Lefty O'Doul whose exclusion from the Hall of Fame is absolutely baffling to me).
petition for ryan to be a regular player next season
100% agree the more we get to see of the handsome stud the better
Bro has become one of my favorite members on the channel no matter the video
@@zachmoney716 I like pretty much all of them. But Ryan, Joez, and Jake in that order are my top 3
@@welcomebackpotter722 excellent take
Big game James may have replaced AJ Pollock as the worst guess this season
What's funny is Wade was the throw in guy in that trade.
Marco Estrada’s game 5 of the 2015 ALCS was INSANE. Like one of the most clutch, precise baseball games ever pitched. Go watch the highlights. Naaaaasty changeup.
I remember talking to my buddy thinking “even if they lose this game, he’s going to get a huge standing ovation when he makes his season debut next year”
It took me a minute to get him but I remember the insane changeup. I remember watching him dominate Texas.
Sat in the bleeds and had some dork screaming in my ear the hole time. Place was electric despite the hole the jays were in the series
As a Jays fan, I have to agree. That dude was the unsung hero of those playoff runs.
I remember watching him in the playoffs and falling in love with that changeup, modelled my changeup after his

@@TheForeverRanger it’s a good thing he didn’t hit the pen earlier cause he probably would’ve stayed as a Tampa Bay Ray haha

Joez and his baseball cards is legendary
Berkman has a higher career OPS than both Griffey Jr and David Ortiz. Like what
When refguess ends next week, we gotta get jenga back. that two part jenga vid with joez, jack and zo was so absurd
*Jenga

Yeah I’ve never gotten hard but this one was easy for Jays fans like myself
Marco Estrada is not a name I have thought of in a long time, had some solid years
I’m really surprised that I got it. It was the only name that came to mind and I was expecting to be wrong. I love this game so much because it plays right into my useless baseball knowledge that no one else cares about in real life.
They keep saying Lance Berkman won a ring with the Astros when the White Sox won in 2005. 😵💫
Anything to fuck with the Astros fans, ya know
Being a media company employee makes you forget about the 2005 world series, see ESPN for proof.
They used the Phillies as an NLC team a while ago, errors do happen with ref guess
One person said it and then he corrected himself afterwards. Shut up
Lmfao he did win a ring but with St Louis
The heavyweight bout between Jake and Max is probably gonna be one of those episodes where I fail on easy mode. Team Jake!
I am so happy to finally have my first super comfortable/ easy 3 answers in all my ref guess career
I am an AL East fanatic especially living in Canada and supporting the Blue Jays growing up
Thanks for making Thursday fun for me and keep it up... cannot wait for the season finale

Figured the Guardians were 1 of the teams on the trivia. I think they’ve been to 3 World Series since ‘94, but lost each time.
Wade Davis was 32 for 33 in save situations for the cubs in 2017, only blowing the last game of the year to the brewers, after the cubs already clinched, which I believe eeked the brewers into the playoffs, and started a their rise to taking over the NL central
My biggest takeaway from this video: Max casually saying he was 8 years old in 2010 😮
Without looking it up, i was thinking the rockies because they went 7 and 4 in 2007 and got swept in that world series.
Hard was my favorite player back in the day (Jays fan). Wish his peak last a touch longer but man was he fun to watcg during that 2015-2016 campaign
As a Jays fan, just screaming Marco Estrada's name for 5 straight minutes haha. But I was coin flipping between Wade Davis and Greg Holland (Joaquin Soria as the 3rd head bullpen monster).
Joez with potentially the worst showing yet this season out of everyone
I knew Estrada right away. Guy was so good for those 2 years. Best Changeup ever
Joez really saw the 2 years starting in Tampa and not the 10 years as a reliever afterwards and guessed James Shields 😭😭
Most aggressive fist pump I’ve had in long time for a ref guess after i got Marco Estrada dawg. Wasn’t even super confident in it
Dropping a like for the Marco Estrada love, Go Jays!
ANOTHER example of Jolly pushing Jimmy through medium when he clearly didn't have it
The Jays really are a big blind spot for the Jomboy crew
White Sox world series always gets forgotten. One of the most dominant runs too.
Tom Gorzelanny was described as Maddux-esque his rookie year in Pittsburgh.
It’s always wild to me how young these guys are that the 2000s seems so far away :(.
I love watching these because it’s really ah stroll down memory lane as I don’t keep up with baseball like I used to when I was 10-13
Lance Berkman should be in the hall of fame
Man, I always forget WD40 was a starter for a bit, but just a filthy closer.
The fact that the boys struggled with Wade Davis kind of shocked me. He was damn near unhittable in 2014 and 2015. When your All-Star closer can go down to TJ and the set up man can come in and do just as well, that is telling. The law firm of Herrera, Davis, and Holland was dominant.
Jolly took advantage of the new stats and I'm here for it. Need a ws edition
I almost immediately came up with both answers for the trivia and then did a double take after the Rays got mentioned
you cannot sneak marco estrada by me buddy
As a Brewers fan who also grew up in Massachusetts, I really, really, really don’t like the Cardinals and Yankees, and when in the NL Central, I did not care for the Astros.

I'm disappointed no one used Lance's preferred nickname - "Fat Elvis"
Welcome back Joez!!!
Imagine bringing a 1992 Topps set thinking to work thinking it will help in any way.
I literally have a Tome Gorzelanny signed Pirates hat somewhere in my house lmao. I remember him!
Dude the second one is tough cuz i swear Greg Holland is like super similar for some of those teams
The Tigers are playing well in the playoffs so far, currently 4-1 going into ALDS Game 4. They have a good chance to raise that record over 500.
Wade Davis known starting pitcher
Lance Berkman was and still is underrated. He was always outshined by Bonds, Pujols, and Helton so he never won MVP or even a freaking Silver Slugger! He defintely deserved one
Berk’s gotta get into the HOF, right? That Ref page is crazy. .943 career OPS over almost 2000 games
I love daydreaming of when the Blue Jays were good, so I actually got hard mode this week.
Thursday? 4:00? Oh, I can’t make it. I’m watching the boys ref guess!
I’ve been keeping track of my score all season and I finished with 97 points as well. Add me to the final showdown lol. Can’t wait till next season for RefGuess, definitely my favorite game here.

I surprise myself at how well I do at these but the Estrada was completely non starter,lol
Been another great season
Final refguess episode about to be a banger
Though maybe the Rockies on that last one since they haven't been very often but they made it to the World Series once
As a Brewer fan I can't believe I forgot Marco. I was torn between Dave Bush and Carlos Villanueva and both were wrong.
I want a timer to see how long it takes these guys to get these. They’re always easy
Was expecting Jeff Suppan for the hard 2006 NLCS MVP. Estrada was a good one as well
Definitely thought Tigers for the trivia round.
1 - Lance Berkman ✔
2 - ❌ I had literally nothing
3 - ❌ doing horrible this week. I didn't even have a guess for Med and hard
Bonus -x
BLUE JAYS LEGEND HAS ENETERED THE QUIZ
For the trivia before I hear the answer. The Rockies instantly came to mind. Bruh I completely “misread” the question 😂😂😂😭 I thought it meant in a single post-season not all postseasons since 1994 combined.
Tom gorzelanny Pittsburgh Pirates legend almost went to the ASG as a final vote back in the day lowkey sweet then traded to Chicago went to Milwaukee too
7:03 Jom is thinking of the name Holland, but it’s not Greg Holland and he’s thinking of Derek.
Damn, Shelfy, you do look good. Keep it up
Ending the penultimate episode in a tie seems a little convenient. I'm not saying there was some hijinks going on, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Marco Estrada was a good Hard. I was stuck on Marco Gonzales for a while before coming up with Estrada. My thoughts for the trivia question were the Guardians and Rays but good thing we only needed one right.

i got wade davis in genuinely half a second
Hey guys I have a question I bought some tickets off of seat geek for the first time. I'm in the app. What part of the app will I show the people at the gate to officially access the tickets
Next week easy should be Ohtani 50/50- whoever takes longer gets Tom Gorzellany as their medium
The fact that Lance Berkman was dropped off the HOF ballot in his first year of eligibility is a disgrace. He has a top 25 OPS in the history of baseball.
I LOVE MARCO ESTRADA
Without having watched the video yet I bet the biggest postseason hero will be left out off this list (Steve Bartman)
These guys often struggle with relievers.
I remember Tom gorzelany
Damn, I guessed Tigers.
Include Games Started. Justice for Joez!!
JAKE AND MAX WINNER TAKE ALL HUNDRED POINT SHOWDOWN LETS GOOOOO!!!!
no games started column in the stats for wade davis?
Very tough Hard Mode this round IMO
lol on the contrary I only got hard and got it within 10 seconds, whereas I missed Davis (guessed Holland within seconds and didn't think about it enough) and wasn't a fan until post-Berkman era
Even as a Blue Jay fan I struggled a bit. The Brewers connection was only giving me Shaun Marcum, but I knew that was wrong.
Jake I was think Greg Holland at first before I pivoted
Greg was a Royals draft pick so that instantly eliminated him.
Do a special episode in October some time. Not related to the season so points don’t count. But pick a few players and only show their postseason stats.
Shelfy you’re my fav.
Had no recollection of Estrada
Easy is probably too easy
Shelfy don’t feel bad. You have more points than me lol
Missed your chance to use Travis Ishikawa 😓
Wow the hard was actually hard who wouldve guessed
I was thinking the Indians and the Rockies for trivia 🤔
Best pull I've had on hard in a while. Can't tell you why *wink*
Jays wouldve been 500 if they hadnt of gotten Swept in the last 3 Wild Card Series they was in
Wtf kind of guess was James Shields
Nooooooo clueeeee about marco Estrada 😂
Lance Berkman = 1 ring
If we throw out the steroid users like Bonds Manny & McGwire, then Lance Berkman has the 2nd highest career OPS of any player not in the Hall of Fame (after Lefty O'Doul whose exclusion from the Hall of Fame is absolutely baffling to me).
If that shelfy guy never spoke another word for the rest of his life he would make the world a better place
Guess the players who never received any awards
