Summary

Carl, Klemmer and Castellani are back for the National League headlines show. It's a slow week for the league so the group turns Kimbrel's 400th save into a heated debate about Hall of Fame candidacy, legacy, and legitimacy. What catchers make the 1st ballot? Exactly how far off is Jacob deGrom from Cooperstown with just 84 career wins? Would you rather have Yadier Molina or Joe Mauer at peak powers for 162 games? Would Mariano make the 1st ballot if he was a Brewer instead of a Yankee? It's a perfectly detailed, overly insightful look at the mechanics of building a baseball legacy in the present day along with the biggest stories from the National League. Thanks for tuning in. Stay Balanced.

0:26.0	basketball baseball show. It is Wednesday. It is the nationally show. It is Carl here. I am
0:30.4	joined by Chris Clemer as always on Wednesdays. And maybe not a special guest, a treasure guest.
0:36.2	Chris, guess a line of guys. Carl, how are we doing? How are we feeling? The long weekend's over.
0:40.7	Did I get it? I guess people are hearing this on a Wednesday, but we're back in the spring
0:44.3	of things here. This is like our first big holiday of the year. I feel like on the
0:48.5	basketball calendar, it goes from like football season to Memorial Day. So we're kind of
0:53.0	settling into like where baseball is going to be the bread and butter for a little bit in the sports
0:56.8	calendar. But a huge weekend Memorial Day weekend always brings out the animal and I think in a lot of
1:02.0	guys in the Midwest. Yeah, I think that's fair to say. I think it brings out the animal on a lot of
1:05.6	baseball teams. I mean, it's the first real checkpoint of the season. I mean, you could say the
1:11.2	quarter way, Mark, you know, 40 games, what have you. I feel like Memorial Day is when you start to
1:16.8	have a good feel about who your baseball team is, who the contenders and pretenders are. So,
1:22.8	which is why I spent a lot of my time down at the America Park this weekend watching the hopefully soon
1:28.0	to be first place Detroit Tigers are two games out of first right now, but being one game back
1:32.0	on Memorial Day is the closest they've been in eight years. So that's definitely been fun. But so
1:36.4	yeah, I mean, no, it's say it seems like a lot of teams are emerging. Got some cool storylines to
1:39.9	talk about. Should be fun. So this is at the time required. I would have never guessed in a thousand
1:43.8	years that the Tigers are closer to first place than the men's substantial. Yeah.
