Hey Joey, bass balls. Hey, you don't, man. Hey, not for none. I'm ready to Yankee's

don't know. Forget about it. Hi, you don't. Good morning and good morning. Hi, we didn't

coordinate. No, we did. Oh, we did. I was just saying good morning. Oh, good morning.

Hi, this is episode 275 of Effectively Wild. The Daily Podcast from Bassball

Prospectus. I am Ben Lindbergh. Also saying hi is Miller. Hi. Um, any banter? Uh, no,

no banter today. Yeah, I've got nothing serious, serious business only. Yeah. Okay. So it's

listener email show. So we got a bunch. We picked some of them and now we're going to read

them. Or hopefully you're going to read them. Are you going to read them? Am I? Okay, sure. Yeah.

Uh, all right. So, uh, yeah, I'll read them. All right. So the first question is from

Chris, uh, who writes Saturday was the anniversary of one of the stranger happenings in Bassball.

Tippie Martinez picked off three straight runners off first base to get out of the tenth

inning. Um, the, uh, uh, play by play of the game from the bottom of the ninth inning.

Onward is remarkable. It's highly unlikely we will ever see something like that. Again,

the current major league leader in pick offs is Julio Tehran with eight, uh, indeed three

pick offs or more by a single pitcher in a game has happened only nine times since 1916.

So what feat that could happen in a game, but rarely if ever happens, would you most like

to see a pitcher striking out five batters in an inning, a batter getting seven hits in

a nine inning game, five home runs by one batter in one game, and inside the park Jose

Molina home run, uh, and so that's the end of the question. Few, few comments on the question.

One, I have to admit that for my entire childhood, I was not sure if Tippie Martinez and

Dennis Martinez were the same person and Tippie was his nickname because there was this weird

era in the late 80s where sometimes tops which is randomly replaced the name with the nickname.
