00:00Poetic justice. My friend chef's kiss as some shall say when the final out of the San Diego

00:10Padres game was recorded by Nolan Arenado with an amazing defensive play by Manny Machado.

00:17Why is that a chef's kiss like perfect ending here? Because Browner, I don't know how you

00:22perceive it. Arenado gets all the shine and Machado just kind of left in the dust and

00:25they're the exact same player. Like they are the exact same player. I should, I don't even

00:32know why I didn't bring this up. Do you? Like if I pull up their career numbers, you're

00:37going to tell who's who. Dude, you literally like it's insane. Look at their career numbers

00:43from MLB. They posted this earlier today. Career war Machado 56.4, Arenado 56.3 career

00:50average Machado 279, Arenado 285 OPS, eight 26, eight 59 hits. Like look at it. It's the

00:57same thing. They play gold glove defense. They play exceptional offense. They are, I

01:04believe a year apart from each other. It's insane how much these two are alike.

01:10I think one of the, one of the reasons why this became a huge talking point here in Southern

01:14California for us is because the Manny was up for the MVP. Nolan Arenado was also up

01:19for the MVP in St. Louis. And I think he won it. If I remember correctly, I think gold

01:24Schmidt won it in 2022. Yeah. Cause that's the year Manny carried the team to the playoffs.

01:31Right. And I said, and that's also the year where I think I, we, I definitely thought

01:36he would win it. Cause St. Louis had two guys in gold. Schmidt won it. Yeah. And I thought

01:40they were going to take votes from each other and it turns out they did not. Turns out they

01:44did not. So that's when he was very much the MVP that year. You're absolutely, absolutely.

01:50Not enough, not enough help, but he still carried the team and didn't have it. It ain't

01:53got no hard way to show for it at the end of the day.
