Aaron Judge Returns + Shohei Ohtani Struggles | Pitch Clock

This week on The Pitch Clock, Ethan and Jeremy open with a round of Jeopardy, testing their knowledge of New York Mets and Yankees history. After a competitive game, they welcome Jack McMullen, the radio voice of the Miami Marlins, to discuss the latest in MLB news, including Aaron Judge's return and Shohei Ohtani's recent struggles.

Jeopardy: Mets and Yankees Edition

The episode kicks off with a spirited game of Jeopardy, focusing on the New York Mets and Yankees. The categories include "Mets History," "Yankees History," "Series History," and "Old Faces, Final Places," which challenges players to identify athletes who played for both New York teams. Jeremy takes an early lead, correctly identifying Tom Seaver as the Mets' all-time strikeout leader and Tom Glavine as the Hall of Fame lefty who gave up seven runs in 0.1 innings in his last act with the Mets. Ethan, however, struggles with Mets history, failing to name Pete Alonso as the Mets' all-time home run leader.

The "Old Faces, Final Places" category proves tricky. Jeremy correctly identifies Carlos Beltran as finishing his career with the Astros, but both hosts struggle with Bobby Abreu (Mets) and David Cone (Mets). Jeremy then correctly answers Curtis Granderson (Marlins) but misses Robbie Cano (Braves). Ethan, however, correctly identifies Keith Hernandez as the Mets' first baseman with 11 Gold Gloves who is not in the Hall of Fame. The Yankees history questions continue to challenge both players. Ethan correctly identifies Mickey Mantle as second in team history with 536 home runs, behind Babe Ruth. Jeremy correctly names Roger Maris as the Yankee slugger who hit 61 home runs in 1961.
