From my personal experience, If Doc Ellis was really tripping on the mound, I think his first 2 innings would be a disaster and then once he sinks into the trip and finds comfort I honestly think he would start playing incredibly well. Even as a pirates fan, I don’t know much about Ellis outside of this infamous moment so I’m curious to know if his performance on supposed substances was better or worse than his average outing.

Fifty cents says Yadi could pitch.

To really understand Yadi’s impact you have to dive into the intangibles that make baseball the game it is. Yadi brought intimidation. How many times did the opposing coaching staff decide not to send the runner with one out, down one, because Yadi was giving the dugout the snake eyes? We can’t count that but I’ve seen it so many times that I know it’s a thing. And there are dozens of opportunities during a game for him to toy with you. I don’t believe in trying to annoint a “ best ever”, but anyone who doesn’t believe Yadi is a hall of famer just doesn’t know baseball. Be offended.

Chris. Taylor.

Remembered fondly? When Yadi leaves there will be an official statewide period of mourning. And a statue on the walk of fame.

How do you think Adam Dunn feels about David Ortiz?

"Old man strength" haha I been saying this for YEARS that's so funny..my dad use to beat me and my buddy at arm wrestling (this like 20 years ago) and we use to say it's because of that old man strength.

This kid gonna snag a job with a team someday and quit KZbin?

You can track live odds per pitch or play with a betting app, you could literally read a teams probability to win before a web gem vs immediately after

I dont use this term lightly. But I HATED Adam Dunn. Not because he was good, but just him. I hated him as a baseball player. I would prefer there's a timeline where Adam Dunn manages a Goodyear vs playing the League

Seeing a Jon Bois video getting mentioned makes my heart full

Please look at Eric Karros. 8 times over 25 hr. 5x over 100 rbi. OPS+ over 100 8 times. Career WAR only 10.

Judge went to see teacherman and he changed his swing. Look him up

Absolutely loved you picking 30 games to look at it! Sample size is large enough

He made up for his terrible defense with his 200 strikeouts. That'll get you millions if you can hit 25 homers.

13:35 Hi

Remember you can make your own vpns for free with about an hour or two investment literally just looking up "how to make my own VPN"

Adam Dunn is my eighth grade baseball coach

How does one get that many chances? My understanding was that players get demoted right away

Jon Bois 🤝 Bailey Putting Adam Dunn in perspective

Adam Dunn was just rocking and AWP with no armor, helmet or nades!! He is just built different

I am not a pro, but I fielded pop ups as an infielder from a pithing machine. There is not a more impossible catch than a 400ft straight up with weird spin(thank you juggs machine), and we made those catches on the regular. Adam Dunn is a great hitter, but an outfielder being challenged by a fly ball to the fence is not a major league outfield skill.

So it is 77 pitches. You ended up skipping 63. You went straight to 64 from 62.

Whats the eye test?

Yes. 🙄

Pujols must have watched the video 4 years ago and got up and said “Hold my beer”

The other thing is that playing deep all the time means more singles on plays where it's not immediately obvious that a different outfielder playing at normal depth would have made the play.

Can’t believe you didn’t take the opportunity for a Dunston Checks In reference. I.E. “and Dunston checks in at home plate” Edit: oh, never mind.

The Dodgers were doing the same thing. That's why they were changing signs every AB. Logan Morrison "I know from first hand accounts that the Yankees, Dodgers, Astros, and Red Sox all have used film to pick signs," Dallas Keuchel "during the course of the playoffs in `17, everybody was using multiple signs,” Joey Votto "The idea that they (the Astros) were the only one doing something wrong just baffles me." Lucas Giolito “Based on everything I’ve heard, it was like all the teams that were in the postseason that year were doing the same shit" Chris Sale "If the Astros were the only team doing it, then yeah. Give it back. Take it back. I know for a fact they weren’t,” Steven Souza “I’m not going to get into to all that but you should know that if you think Houston was the only team with a sign stealing system you’re dead wrong.” Chris Bassitt "...Houston was not the only team doing stuff... one team essentially got caught doing it -- or was the guinea pig of doing it to clean the whole entire league up" Josh Reddick "I was there, so theres my proof" Kris Bryant "Absolutely not. I definitely think others were." Josh Donaldson "Please don’t forget if you were a Yankees/Red Sox fan, none of your guys are (Hall of Famers) because both of them got caught using Apple watches before the Astros got caught.” Erik Kratz “I can tell you that a team that has been to the World Series often recently, we caught them doing something almost similar. The Colorado Rockies were doing the exact same thing in 2018…They used to take a Theragun and bang it on their metal bench. They were doing the exact same thing.” Will Clark “How can I put this mildly? They got caught. All the rest of us, we didn’t get caught."

Lol jomboy couldn't help himself when offered a feature on this video, even though his stupid team had been cheating as well. What a joke. Josh Donaldson "Please don’t forget if you were a Yankees/Red Sox fan, none of your guys are (Hall of Famers) because both of them got caught using Apple watches before the Astros got caught.”

HoW cUm GoOd HiTtEr WaR Bad? Bc he no play da-fence

Adam Dunn's defense wasn't really that bad In fact his WAR on Baseball Reference used to be much higher before they changed the formula for defense and his dWAR magically dropped by ~2 wins a season Traditional statistics imply that he got to a few less balls and made a few more errors than the average fielder but it wasn't egregious most seasons He made up for his lack of speed, catching ability, and mediocre arm with a good jump, good decision making, quick release, and accurate throws Also 2009 was his worst fielding season. In his earlier seasons with the Reds he was probably only costing his team ~5-10 runs a year in the field

love the sly cooper music lol

A guy like Adam Dunn would have thrived in todays game due to not being able to be a DH

WAR, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing. - Adam Dunn

Beautiful

Pretty disappointed to not hear a mark buehrle mention

Just play for an AL team it’s not that hard

New dimensions and textures of what to watch for during my next MLB viewing session. Fantastic effort. You can never truly overthink what's happening in front of you.

Title is a fake.

Adam Dunn was made for the era of the universal DH. Unfortunately, for him, he played in era just prior to it.

“How come good hitter WAR bad and bad hitter WAR good?!?!” had me dying😂

Maddux was the greatest pitcher of his time. I always love him talking about his approach "just throw good pitches". But good to him wasn't unhittable - it was a pitch that he could get an out with. And that's why he won so many games, he was always looking for ways to get the next out, whether or not it is a strike out.

best flying gorilla track

Adam Dunn would be in Cooperstown if he was born 30 years earlier....maybe🤔

why does it matter the situation? to me, if a guy misplays a 50/50 ball, it should punish the defender exactly the same if theres no one on 0 outs or bases loaded 2 outs. The ACTUAL runs saved is different, but the punishment for the fielder should be the same in both instances, to me. They cannot affect the current situation prior to the ball being hit in play.

Fangraphs did a fun simulation where they made an entire team of Adam Dunns, and a few other players... He won a gold glove in CF over Dee Gordon

He clearly missed the tag. I’ve missed a lot of tags. He missed
