Well San Diego Padres there currently ahead of the Dodgers in Los Angeles 523 they're moving into the bottom of the night, so it's basically door.com here for the Dodgers in an earlier after a rain delay. I don't know of delays the word. It was like a forever. The Braves, they were able to tie their series against the Phillies by beating them three to nothing in Atlanta that's on normal beautiful thing. I love baseball complicated game.

We know that we have some rule changes that are coming up next year.

Larger basis. No shift we get rid of the ghost runner in the extra innings that's already taken place you in the postseason and baseball is trying to become a little bit more endearing to the general public because it's no longer America's pastime, but it has so many dynamic stars so many big personalities. So many big storylines. Typically they just just need a flashlight so I told you about the two games that took place today. One of them still going on the Mariners and Astros will be back at it tomorrow. The guardians and the Yankees the same in the Bronx. I wanted to bring you our top six list of players and personalities here in baseball right now who have the most to prove for different reasons. Some of them have been winners. Some of them have been losers.

Some of them have not even seen a World Series or a championship and I'm not gonna waste any more time, some for new top six list Wednesday night. It's a Thursday morning top six players in baseball right now who have the most to prove. Listen 650321 each time to get to yours latest top six list only on your sport brief is the GR sport brief show here with you on CBS sports radio top six MLB players with the most improved playoffs are underway.

Teams are battling for the Commissioner's trophy. Hopefully he doesn't call it a piece of metal or junk by Rob Manfred, let's move on to some players that might be feeling it.

It's as in pressure.

Pressure can do quite a few things can blossom pipes or create some diamonds. Which one will you allow it to do.

Let's not waste any time who is facing pressure who has something to prove. And why start up with this number right here. Number six, oh this name. This name is likely going to come across as a surprise because he's one of the most successful baseball players ever. He's one of the most dominant pictures ever even right now as he approaches 40 years old Justin Burrell Lander still has a lot to prove. And I think at this point he is trying to prove it to himself. This man was gone all of last year with Tommy John surgery. He comes back he almost rose and participates in 30 games and has an ERA just to stop to this man is ridiculous is already going into the Hall of Fame security is more than 3000 strikeouts. I guess he wants to play another million years so he can get the 300 wins. He has an MVP at a Cy Young in the same year. I think he's just battling himself at this point in time I think Burrell Lander is battling the record books get a chance to go to the World Series with the Tigers a couple of times and he finally won one with the team that most people hate the Astros Justin Burrell. Linda has a lot to prove. And I think it's just really to himself how far and how long can I do this last night or yesterday not so good Mariners smack them up for innings pitched 10 heads six earned runs and he got saved.

Alvarez came through and said I got you Astros comeback win 8 to 7. After the game Burrell Lander.

He says listen man I know people hate our guts not gotta do better myself listen loaded everything that a good approach. You know there's familiarity here and obviously it makes better pictures but also that's a good Naked pictures and by the severe. That's the beauty of baseball.

You were team where to win and one so obviously I have to do better next time out, but here we are with the game when Landon and I can be more having this format is right to win and that's what he's trying to do Isha my stack up all lot mortals wins almost 40 years old very Lander use the strong to prove himself versus time and every body top six players with the most prove let's move on from Berlin. He's Hall of Fame just.

What's the next number number five… Simple.

Let's take a look at one of his teammates know this teammate doesn't throw a baseball and lessees in the field, which is what he does this man actually swings the bat is not as old as Burrell Lander. He's only 32 years old. He just had another amazing season batted 328 home runs as one of the smallest guys we seen in the game is sold out to what is he have to prove it's almost the same thing. What would Burrell Lander supports different how many times we have to hear about the Astros sheeting. How many times we have to think about what what are two very minor could have probably never did have under his damn jersey. All he does is go out there and play as an undersized baseball player have to see one more image of him and Alan Judge standing next each other and everybody talking about it for 10 minutes I'm going to vomit out to Bay doesn't have Carlos Troy on this run. He doesn't have MVP Springer with him on this run. He has Alvarez any not know this shake a stick at. Well today, what is he have to prove just like Berlin. This would be very rewarding if they want another championship without people accusing them of just going out there and being cheaters knowing and going into the series with the Mariners calls out to obey. He talked about how important Houston is to him and what he means to Houston.

This is my second home was born in Minnesota about Houston is like a semi seven home proceeded to friends my teammates a whole organization is use amazing and hopefully you will stay here while my career I think you will. He's a lifer that Venezuela might be old but Houston is his home, and I think maybe people get off his damn back if they go one another championship. Top six MLB players with the most to prove. Let's move on from our tube at five to this number number four this man just had just one of the best seasons you'll ever see from a human being place for the Yankees come already. It's our judge and what does Alan Judge have to prove now that he can also help carry a team into the postseason through the postseason didn't start off so hot here so far, along with with the guardian's couple of strikeouts took him a while to hit home runs number 62. We know that he is going to get paid the megabucks whether it be from the Yankees or whatever team on the West Coast the Dodgers the Giants judge has a lot to live up to these likable so you won't get booed. He won't get the hate. But now that the home run chases over people don't want to see results. He doesn't want to be known as the guy who hit 62 home runs Yankee fans will remember if he sucks in the postseason. He has a lot to live up to, especially when you got John Starling just giving you calls like this when you hit home runs in July against the Royal solicitor John Starling from WFAN it when you got somebody giving you calls like that. I mean, damn you, you got you got your work cut out. You need to live up to the legend that this man has bestowed upon you just because of your home runs looked down judge this pressure on this man. It's one thing to do in the regular season, the Yankees have won a World Series since 2009 it's not solely going to be because of our judge. He needs a lot of help when he needs to show up top six major league baseball players with the most approved. What's the next number number 30 number three all well how about this.

The guy was number three just played on the baseball game that just concluded the man whose number three on the list as many Machado many Machado by the way, help the San Diego Padres tied up this series 1 to 1 and the National League division series. Tonight, many Machado. He had a home on a solo one.

He had a double.

He drove in two runs in the postseason so far. Short amount of time to home runs. Five RBIs. Not too shabby for a guy who is making $300 million on a 10 year deal. And oh yeah by the way, many Machado he can opt out, of his current contract. So not only is he legitimately trying to compete and win a World Series without Fernando talkies Junior without sold all he hasn't necessarily played his best. We know he's a World Series legend. Especially in Washington, many Machado he's been to the World Series with the Dodgers. They lost he's trying to win a championship and also when some big money just in this go around. He's had a hell of a night so far what Lisa hell of a night a hell of a series in the play. Also for and he talked about beating the Mets and he's excited to get back in front his own fancy many Machado's is excited about everything. Listen on all well obviously talking about Joe Musgrove, Mr. shiny years, and tonight he help them will not Musgrove many Machado that he's living up to the billing and he's also trying to get paid because soon he's going to be eligible to opt out of his contract when we remind you again San Diego they beat Los Angeles tonight.

It just took place seconds ago 523 top six major league baseball players with the most approved many Machado at three pools. Next number two, number two, oh man, I want to give this guy a hug. He always looks miserable like the world is going to collapse on Sahara like he needs to go use the bathroom. It's Garrett call of the that the New York Yankees we know Garrett Cole list is been one of the best pictures baseball over the past several years he's been a solid pitcher is but an all star pictures but a great picture.

I mean we can go back to Garrett Cole with the Pirates.

This man was was damn good. But here's the deal.

Not only did Garrett Cole say I am going to take the Yankees money.

Not only am I gonna take a deal for the next nine years, $324 million. Garrett Cole is gonna take everything that comes with it. Like the abuse from the fans. The Yankee fans. Garrett Cole at this point of his career. Now that his spin rate has decreased. I wonder why Garrett Cole will pitch six or seven strong innings and somewhere in there, he's going to give up a gigantic home run. He's going to look miserable. He's going to look sad and Yankee fans will just wait for the shoe to drop.

It doesn't matter how many innings he pictures in the season. It doesn't matter how many strikeouts he has of which you set a record for people want to see results they want to see a World Series something the Yankees haven't had since 2009 one another import some guy name Ceci's a bath, you help the Yankees get there at least recently against Cleveland Garrett Cole one. He went out there. Hell of a game, the Yankees one game 141 Garrett Cole six innings pitched nine strikeouts to earn runs not too bad he didn't get booed out of Yankee Stadium Garrett Coley talked about what a great moment was for the crowds actually show him love. It's not over draft letter for traffic so sent the most comfortable time to acknowledge a crowd, but certainly felt it and appreciated, and I thought they were in every pitch tonight and what a wonderful experience to have them behind us all. He sounds miserable even thanking the fans. Somebody give this guy a hug is $324 million is enough to make him happy. He's also looking for a World Series victory here.

Nationals beat his Astros in 2019 to the general support we show you what you want.

CBSSports radio will gonna take a break and we come back to give you number one what baseball player what star in the game right now has the most approved the general support reshot here with you want CBSSports radio number one on the other side.

What a wonderful experience to have them behind us you were listening to the JR sport brief on CBSSports radio. You were listening to the JR sport brief on CBSSports radio. All of never been on or talk show you're all really appreciative call JR first caller to the show. It will still thanks for taking the call. Love the show you get me through almost every night appreciated clearly now with 855-2124 CBS is the JR sport brief show here with you on CBSSports radio Wednesday night into Thursday morning. I bring you a new top six list and tonight the major league baseball playoffs underway, by the way, the Padres, they just defeated the Dodgers 523. There series is now tied at one all I wanted to bring you a top six list of players with the most approved. Not everybody is a hard-core baseball fan you might know some of the stars, the big names well I'm just boiling it down if you want to know who to look out for these are the names if you miss the full explanation, you can always hit rewind on the Odyssey at about to reveal number one but let me go ahead and give you a recap and number six I gave you just invert lender sure this man's going into the Hall of Fame is one of the most accomplished pictures ever. What is he trying to prove trying to prove that he can continue to beat down father time he's trying to prove that he still has it here at the highest of levels. As he approaches the age of 40 years old against the Mariners, all you just got smacked up for innings and six runs 10 hits.

They were able to win at the end of the game, but not because M just invert lender. What is you have to prove nothing. Trying to prove that he can still go out there what bass even as he gets older. Coming off of an amazing season of what she just had Tommy John surgery baseball freak Vearl Lander is had him at six, number five I give you his team a wholesale tubing trying to win a championship without all of the, the cheating stink on a number four who has a lot to prove. Arun Judge it's one thing the beast 67 into 80 and smashed 62 home runs in the regular season.

We all know the Yankees only do championship this in championship that judge can't win a championship by himself. We know he's going to get paid but now he doesn't just want to live up to the billing in the regular season.

This man wants to wants to live it up wants to hoist the Commissioner's trophy. Is he going to do it on his way to free agency there be one hell of a way to go out now wouldn't it number three I give you many Machado.

This man drove into runs of us that a homerun tonight in the Padres victory over the Dodgers. I told you 523 many Machado 10 year $300 million deal is to be eligible opt out.

I mean you don't think this man wants to win a World Series got to give him credit out here. No Tutsis, Junior Soto comes on here in the middle of the season. Machado was now 30 years old. He's not only trying to win the World Series this program is trying to get paid.

And number two. This man already got paid trying to prove things. His name is Garrett Cole. I've never seen a more miserable looking individual, making $324 million over the span of nine years, Yankee fans of fickle Yankee fans have been waiting for championship since 2009 Garrett Cole is supposed to be the guy the eggs good start against the guardians six innings nine strikeouts now to our runs given up.

He's susceptible to giving up big home runs he can be maddening in that regard. Is it fair, maybe not think there a lot of teams that would love to have Garrett Cole do Yankee fans appreciate them probably not a hard knock life is tough, he's always feeling the pressure every time he takes them out. I guess that's why he looks miserable.

So if I have Garrett: number two and if I have to think about a major league baseball player with the most approved. That would lead me to this number right here on that number one this guy. He's about to turn 30 years old in a few days. He was a baseball prodigy. He made his debut at 19 years old.

He has two MVPs, seven-time All-Star is built himself a solid career when he's been healthy. You place long enough they'll go into the Hall of Fame if he's healthy. He's also on a 13 year $330 million contract given to him after he decided to exit Washington. His name is Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies. They won game one against the Braves, they were able to hold on. Bryce Harper went three for three today. After many delays Bryce Harper went one for four and the Braves.

They tied the series up 111 they won the game three to set Bryce Harper for people who live on their people can't stand him.

The guy one time. I'm okay with not long enough to draw a real conclusion, but he was very nice to me but say this, he's making a lot of money. The minute that he left Washington even at his introductory press conference. He made that statement.

I will try to bring a title back to DC well bro, your non-DC anymore your yacht the Turnpike man you up I-95 get use to it get wet. It parts of the season.

The Phillies they go to the playoffs since 2011. They won that World Series in 2008. They lost at the next year against the New York Yankees and yeah Bryce Harper can't pitch out of the bullpen. He can't help them out in the starting rotation. He can only swing the bat. This man has been hit in the face. This man has his hands broken. He's had ligaments in his his arms torn to shreds and he still goes out there in place and he is old. A whole lot of money for basically the next decade you want to talk about pressure.

I think Bryce Harper feels it and somehow someway. It seems that he still has fun Bryce Harper talking himself. He says yeah the squad were special. This is when the Phillies actually knew they were going back to the postseason solitaire father got us overcame a lot, recalled all the young guys stepped up and sharing is one let's see how long they can pop bottles. Let's see how long he will be tolerated and in Philadelphia over the next damn it almost decade Bryce Harper number one on my list when it comes down to MLB players with the most approved. It's always going to sting knowing that played in Washington. I leave the World Series. At least he can take solace in the fact that he got paid the JR sport preshow here with you on CBS sports radio 855-2124 CBS. That's 855-2124 CBS if you have to think about a major league baseball player who has the most approved this postseason who would be I got Bryce Harper number one on my list to take your calls. On the other side, 855-2124 CBS you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio listening to JR sport brief on CBS sports radio when you put me on blend, no drive so supportable. What do you have the ultimate drive. A lot of people know you a lot, William peters, JR oh thank you, Damon, John and #Damon in the shark tank is my God. It is a JR sport preshow here with you on CBS sports radio 855-2124 CBS is 855-2124 CBS major league baseball playoffs are underway. We moved away from the wildcard went out into the divisional round one step from that the championship series and it will go right into the World Series soon, very soon, and so as a result. Tonight I wanted to bring you a top six list of players who have the most approved give you a quick recap if you miss the full explanation. Don't assume it rewind on the Odyssey at number six. I give you Justin Verl Lander trying to prove a lot to himself. Pushing 40 years old and number five I give you wholesale to bait. Yet his teammate someone who was a man, is this guy's been beaten down in the court of public opinion outside of Houston because of the cheating and before I give you our judge yet school at 62 home runs in the regular season. The pressure seemingly got to him at the end. Maybe he'll feel more relaxed you in the postseason or maybe he'll choke.

I don't know he's going get paid regardless he's feeling the pressure and number three I give you many Machado tonight help the Padres.

Even up there championship series or excuse me, Dale's revision song sung side there divisional series against the Dodgers hit a homerun drove in two runs, but many Machado was also sitting on a 10 year $300 million deal that he can eventually opt out of. We know he wants to win a ring and he also eventually wants to cash in big time if you can secure some more funds. He's 30 years old and number two I gave you Garrett Cole. He's the Yankees ace. He's oh no, he's on a nine year $324 million deal, it doesn't necessarily make himself endearing to New York Yankee fans and so when he chokes they let them know about it. Everybody's always on pins and needles when they see Garrett call oh yeah he's feeling the pressure Yankees have won a title since 2009. They are paying him to be the guy in a number one you want to talk about a player with the most approved.

Imagine being a phenom, a generational talent of one of the greatest players that we will ever see in your good UN MVPs you got All-Star games.

You do all of this and you leave the team and they won a World Series. And now you've just been, busted up and hurt an amazing tool when you actually play that's Bryce Harper. So the Phillies are finally back in the postseason. Unfortunately for them. Fortunately I was I going to World Series champion Braves and at least the Braves a came out on top. Even a series of 11 Bryce Harper was three for three yesterday. Today he was 144 key is always going to feel the pressure because of that contract and his former team will World Series enemy as a whole superstar thing. Bryce Harper was supposed to be like the Lebron of baseball.

Tough to live up to.

Even though the guys won MVP awards was get to the phone lines. That's 855-2124 CBS.

That's 8552124C BS. Greg is calling for Michigan on the JR sport preshow also great, good morning. Are you positive I gotta tell you, great with real quick gold bills over chief of Bryce Harper. You're right. He's an enigma he's never won the World Series number one and I just don't think he's moved up to the hype he's good on the BP was either him or trout is the best player and he just doesn't do it for me and my wrong room is he's underneath the radar and it's it's it's it's just weird about him. I just I don't know it just up and down use use the comparison. If I want to make one and it's it's difficult but I think think most people understand I use Lebron James for reason you heard about Bryce Harper before he got to the majors and it wasn't a coincidence that the guy made the majors at 19 years old and was already in All-Star.

It was there was hyped there.

The differences we know basketball. It operates more as an individual game if you put one superstar out there with with another superstar some great players that one guy can lead you to a championship. It doesn't work that way. In baseball, Bryce Harper, let's put it this way he could put up our judge numbers every year you would say I would say he's a contemporary right there with Mike Trout. These are two guys who been hurt, they can have amazing seasons every year it's it's not gonna lead to team success and so yes, your Bryce Harper quote unquote flies under the radar a little bit part of it can be his attitude I haven't experienced it, but I can understand it. Yes, something about mom and Dante will Greg we will we done a lot of that.

I want to I want to keep its of the top six write a great problem but love your night dreams but that's right, you go for your dreams some positivity, write a shop on expect that much positivity I was.

That was nice of Greg to say right go for your dreams.

Greg doesn't ever fall short of being positive you think he's positive like Russell Wilson or CJ know. I know because I I speak to these guys.

All I can tell you Greg is his genuine off the air as he is on the do not Russell Wilson.

All the exact opposite Russell Wilson okay honey scout Brent he said I'm you that's that's a promo for the NFL network about a guy Russell Wilson is the spirit that for a second I would say Russell Wilson was a bad guy did and he insinuated it blessed me.

I know you know you nevus anyone's bad guy or not, would maybe a couple callers every now might call like legitimate people like bad guys like I know fluff is not only to end up on this.

I know from experience with Ole Miss 30 years ago that word a little more now, years later we played for the Steelers and he radically ran off the field her shirt off. That's a bad guy, although you may not the guy that was involved in a hotel room and a young woman okay now another quarterback. Sorry, the receiver got it Lolas let's look always know I know my share bad guys that the one who used to wear the anyway yeah Antonio yet he's not a good due.

David is calling for buffalo your CBSSports radio what's up. Take my call. But it got a restaurant gotta be Garrett: I mean to me when you're the picture the New York Yankees.

That's one of the premier positions in all professional sports don't care if you're the quarterback of the Cowboys or play point guard Purdue play for the Lakers here with the Yankees to me.

The faith of baseball baseball better when the Yankees are good.

They haven't won a World Series in 13 years and Manny getting paid a ton of money I mean you got a contractor for a long time. Note for Priscilla coming to get you that winning the World Series in 13 years of I mean that's insane for a franchise like that so that and deftly Jordan Stanton yelled through the same thing man when you're on your butt on the instruction you make that, money.

The pressures big time, in no doubt about it. Thank you Davis called Buffalo. I'm glad you also mentioned Giancarlo Stanton. This man played the outfield for the first half of the season this lie while he can actually play the field without being hurt in any got hurt Achilles cath.

He's a baseball free but yet it's tough it is baseball better when the Yankees are having success.

I think most people hate the Yankees like the Dodgers have, taking your place when it comes to spending having success in the Yankees adjust trying to play catch-up like it will win 90 to 100 games every year, but no World Series. Trust me, the fans complain about our broadcasting on Saturday afternoons in New York City on WFAN and the Yankees in 100 games every year they can win 130 games think it went all 162 no championship.

They don't want to fire every body so I Garrett Cole is feeling the pressure. 855-2124 CBS SA 552124 CBS or some other players in baseball feeling the pressure will talk more. Take your calls and CBSSports radio operating system talking, not your computers or phones your internal human operating system. I'm feeling a little overloaded. Here's how you can ease my stress.
