With the Hall of Fame ceremony coming up, we can’t help but think about this convo we had with the Commish of @hallofgoodpod .What will the future benchmarks for the HOF be as the old checkpoints seem more & more unattainable? Will Joey Votto be in? More: tiny.cc/pw9q001
The bottom of the 9th of Mets vs Giants was a perfect example of “that’s baseball, Suzyn.” Casey Schmitt led off with a line drive to 3rd base: .750 xBA, but CAUGHT Jung Hoo Lee smokes one 399 feet, 106.3 EV...HR in 29/30 parks…but not in SF. Double. Patrick Bailey smokes a…
What a play by Pete Alonso to save the game for the Mets:
4th AB - K
Will Nick Kurtz hit another Home Run tonight?
Sheeeeeeesh…
This is a /99. I saw these and similar going for between $20-$30ish before last night’s Nick Kurtz performance. Guessing this one is going well beyond $100.
The Detroit Tigers have lost 6 in a row despite a dominant start by Tarik Skubal today. They are 1-9 in their last 10 games. In that 10 game span, they’ve averaged 2 runs per game while opponents have averaged 5.4 They need a jolt. Haven’t heard them in trade rumors much but…
3rd AB - Single
Will Nick Kurtz hit another Home Run tonight?
George! How are we not sliding here?!
Matt Vierling guns out George Springer at home to keep this game scoreless!

I know we promised no more Nick Kurtz posts until he plays tonight, but what about a repost?! This one seems pretty relevant. 👇🏻
We’ve seen the AAA stats. Let’s go further back. While playing for @WakeBaseball Nick Kurtz once hit 11 HRs during a 7 game HR streak. In an 11 game span, he put up 22 hits, 30 RBI & 14 HRs. He’s been a beast for a while now. As the great T.O. once said, get your popcorn ready 🍿
We don’t want to jump to conclusions here, but you have to wonder how this could alter the Yankees trade deadline strategy. IF Judge is down, do you call up Spencer Jones instead of possibly trading him? Or are they scared of the pressure “replacing Judge” would bring??
Aaron Judge is dealing with an elbow issue
Highest OPS in a 50-game span, MLB rookies since integration 2017 Aaron Judge - 1.215 2025 Nick Kurtz - 1.175 1972 Carlton Fisk - 1.143 1987 Mark McGwire - 1.140 2001 Albert Pujols - 1.134
I promise this is our last Nick Kurtz post until at least 7:10pm ET. Let’s see how he measures up to one of the best 1B ever this year.. Freddie Freeman (91 G) BA: .297 HR: 10 RBI: 51 2B: 27 R: 50 OPS: .840 Nick Kurtz (66 G) BA: .305 HR: 23 RBI: 59 2B: 18 R: 45 OPS: .1.060
As Baseball fans, we’ve been blessed two years in a row with all-time single player performances. Nick Kurtz tonight and Shohei Ohtani last year. Last September, Shohei went 6-6 vs the Marlins with 3 HRs, 10 RBI, 2 SB & 17 TB
Nick Kurtz tied Shawn Green for the most total bases in a single game. 19 Total Bases in 6 At Bats He only needed to see 14 pitches to do it. The first rookie ever to hit 4 HRs in a game. The youngest player (by 3 years!) to ever hit 4 HRs in a game.

In just one night, Nick Kurtz has crossed the line over to Superstar status. We’ve run out of superlatives 🤷🏼♂️
Nick Kurtz had a shot at the cycle, but he just hits bombs so….
I could listen to this kind of stuff all day.
