2023 NLDS | Eagles vs. Diamondbacks | MLW Wiffle Ball

[@rsn2012]

Hats off to Michael Schema. Not the most talented athlete to ever grace the field, but he got it done in big games, time after time. I think he's retiring at the right moment. He'll be a legend in MLW lore forever due to his defensive gems and the postseason heroics. He was the other half of most of Knorp's top 10 plays. The talent level in MLW is very high and growing fast. A few more players need to follow Schema and have a graceful and dignified retirement instead of being cut.

[@Dremo41]

Makin me tear up🥲

[@OxidizeTunes]

Schema saw that insane banana ball K and said aight imma head out. But insanely good career from a guy that i'm pretty sure was just a free agent pickup by jimmy. great defender and really clutch player overall. W Schema

[@kenschema9545]

He was the 4th pick in the draft in 21

[@OxidizeTunes]

my bad@@kenschema9545

[@BirdGang6]

As soon as Schema got on the mic I had a feeling he was announcing his retirement. Hell of a run for the dude! What the Diamondbacks did over these last 3 years was special!

[@nickhalfmann8397]

Not the best bat, but man was he good in the field. He’ll be missed ✊🏽

[@TreyLancesDad]

that game 2021 world series moment, so iconic

[@Tyler_Schwartz_]

[@Cwho9ss]

I hope he decides to come back after a year or two off

[@Tyler_Schwartz_]

@@Cwho9ss tom said on the podcast that mike was on the fence about coming back for this year so I unfortunately think he's fully done

[@JDX42]

Hell of a run Schema, you’ve earned all of our respect ✊🏽

[@mocing1239]

Don’t know which schema you’re talking about. Bad series by the Diamondbacks

[@rivwell_21]

​@@mocing1239nobody liked that

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Dallas Allen with nerves of steel. "I'll pitch to him." Really impressive for him to outduel Jimmy. He is really making a name for himself.

[@Dialectic42]

Goes to show how big of a mistake it was for the Wildcats to IBB Jimmy in the 21 Series.

[@BlacktopBball]

Can’t believe Flood didn’t get a shot on the mound Jimmy was phenomenal but Flood was arguably better throughout the year.

[@beanie3427]

Bro that play from Jimmy at 5:55 looked INSANE and nobody hyped it up at all lol. If he doesn't snag that two runners are gonna score and he just picks it on a bad hop after it had already passed his body. Wicked play. Guess he made it look easy

[@foreverbumber4]

And that spin throw from Schema was huge.

[@pepperwestwood]

💯. Don’t think anybody else in the league makes that play.

[@bblwiffleball8140]

Facts

[@ownagemunky]

We’re just so used to seeing him pull off the most insane circus plays that it’s normal at this point

[@davidmayotte1542]

That is a great point. Jimmy Knorp has great reflexes and is definitely a playmaker out there

[@KennyMinerBowling]

Mr. Clutch hanging it up. Always came through when his team needed him most. You’ll be missed, Schema! Best of luck in your future endeavors!

[@JackHaley-mn9fz]

Crazy seeing knorp go out in the first round. I was just waiting for him to pull something off

[@rsn2012]

Heath, Bennett, and Pyz all hit better than Jimmy this year and Flood pitched better. MLW talent is catching up to Mr. Knorp.

[@username2748]

crazy people were already calling him the goat

[@llamaboy9239]

@@username2748he is see y’all next year

[@JoshJackson13]

Jimmy just couldn't get the bat going against Dallas but not many can. Banana, drop, riser combo is nasty. Same combo jimmy throws but he uses the slider banana to much

[@rsn2012]

Wow. Speechless. Congratulations to the Eagles. This isn't how I thought my Friday would go.

[@nickhalfmann8397]

Props to the eagles. Dan and his large lineup really stepped up the second half of the season.

[@MLWWiffleBall]

[@madmax408SJ]

Let's goooo!

[@Tyler_Schwartz_]

Pyszka hitting the ball sounds like a heavy sniper

[@MistahWarner]

Wow what a series. Hats off to the D-backs. I personally didn’t want them to win it all again cause I wanted something new but they still went out here and entertained me as they always do and that’s all that matters at the end of the day. Congrats to the eagles as well, well deserved and I hope the mallards can give them some fight! And I saved the best for last but Congrats on one hell of a career for the LITTLE GUY SCHEMA! You played great man. Good luck on your young adult life moving forward🤝🍻

[@freejakeman]

Series of the year (so far). That was some GREAT wiffleball.

[@grantmaxwell2208]

Can we please get a Carson Yuragitis mic’d up session😂

[@TheatreKiller]

Love the support for my boy Schema. One of those players I always rooted for and came in clutch when it mattered most. Also hats off to the Eagles. Very cohesive day from everyone. Whalen again coming up clutch with defense, hits and now base running. One of the best series I can recall

[@Quinndica]

I’m straight up emotional over wiffle ball right now. Thanks for all the epic moments Schema. You will definitely be missed man. Your connection with Jimmy, the boys and knack for giant moments, have brought me tons of genuine joy. Good luck in everything you tackle in the future.

[@JoshJackson13]

Dallas is such an underdog. He is a really good pitcher.

[@dylanzable2830]

Good hitter too

[@Cazh023]

Dallas is a top 5 guy...

[@bmcminn8838]

Wow didn't see that coming......what a start to the playoffs!!!!

[@daniellarue1673]

The big boy energy behind "I'll pitch to him" is something else

[@BirdGang6]

Dallas has been an absolute revelation in this second half and they make the Eagles genuine contenders! Super happy to see there will not be a three peat

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

He's been my favorite player to watch this season.

[@BirdGang6]

@@michaelcorcoran8768I was really worried for him after the Detroit series with the Diamondbacks but that really seemed to cause something to snap for him and he’s been a monster ever since!

[@samguilmard4825]

What a match, I’m based in England and I know absolutely nothing about baseball but this wiffleball league I AM OBSESSED WITH! love the competitiveness and love this game ❤

[@diablosportscreme]

It’s called game.

[@samguilmard4825]

Thanks@@diablosportscreme - what a game

[@shakez003]

Kept waiting for Knorp to come up with that big hit but he struggled at the plate this series. Hats off the the Eagles pitching though, they were great. Also props to Dallas Allen for pitching to Knorp instead of intentional walking him in that first game.

[@0Architectdude0]

Dallas Allen with the most baller performance of the season. He controlled every aspect of the game when he was on the mound, and the "ill pitch to him" will go down in history as one of the most badass quotes in MLW

[@travelingbostonian]

Sad to see Schema hang em up, but if Jimmy needs a tall lefty pitcher then I know a guy ;)

[@Ametz16]

Absolutely amazing stuff from this channel as always. The analysis, transitions, etc are better than some actual TV Broadcasts out there.

[@fizfunk]

Michael Schema, my sons and I are big fans of yours. We’ll be sad to not see you out there holding down the left side of the field for DBacks. You’ve made some fantastic plays and had some clutch hits. Great career, man. God bless 💪🏼

[@mrman4228]

This may be one of the greatest series of all time and a legacy series for Dallas. Sad to see schema go and I am surprised playoff Jimmy didn’t do something’s this year

[@sale7423]

HELL THE FUCK YES!!! THATS MY EAGLES!!! AND THE BANANA BALL FOR THE FINAL STRIKEOUT, THIS SERIES CANT GET ANY BETTER

[@DRAGON_PRODZ]

Congrats to the Eagles for doing what you do best, playing consistent good ball. Great job pitching two gems Allen! Schema, you've given a lot into this team, and into this league, ill miss u big guy!

[@darklordojeda]

Thank goodness. Was getting sick and tired of the D-backs.

[@Shuckleking87]

Great run Schema, congrats to the Eagles a well deserved win!

[@Bigmanccxvi]

Another classic been a fan for 3 years now and these games are as intense as MLB keep it up and on to the next round 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stevefreese34]

Damn.. hats off to the eagles. We just didnt bring our bats this series. Great season and great run boys!! DbacksNation 💪🏼 Schema, we’ll miss ya big guy🙌🏼

[@SethMGeorge]

I’m sooo torn on Dan not pitching! It makes me sad to see him step out of that Ace role since just 2-3 years ago he was a Cy Young candidate. At the same time I’m proud to see him recognize his limitations and not hold his team back for his ego. Don’t give up on pitching Dan, that knuckdrop is the absolute best pitch in the league.

[@Punkis3lf]

I don't understand why Dan completely changed his pitching wind-up. He looked like Brett Phillips, which isn't a pretty sight

[@SethMGeorge]

@@Punkis3lf I think as the league changed he need to change his delivery to hide that knuckdrop but also his other pitches.

[@rsn2012]

I can see the knuck drop coming before he even starts his windup. @@SethMGeorge

[@marcelandersen6412]

Hey Scheme, great career. Big fan of yours. Gonna miss ya! Take care!!!

[@blake_28]

Kyle should really interview for the Tigers new announcer job! Also congrats on a heck of a career, Schema!

[@Neon_Koopa]

Schema’s gotta be up there for best defensive players in MLW. Love the role he played in both their championships. Respect 🫡

[@PR_Sports]

As a Dback fan, it stinks that Schema is retiring. He had a great run. Time for a new Era and I trust Jimmy will get this team back to the top. Dallas pitched insanely good and they deserve the series win. I am looking forward to an insane rest of the playoffs. My 2nd favorite team is the Preds so Go Preds!!!!

Can’t believe Chema is hanging up the hat

[@dannytradio]

No team has dominated another the last 3 years like the Diamondbacks has with the Eagles. 4 series wins, 2 sweeps, and 1 epic Dallas Allen collapse in the 2022 playoffs. Redemption.

[@rickyarredondo6248]

I feel for Trey he was all star starter and knorp didn’t even play him once 💀

[@jcblou8948]

Trey Flood not getting inserted after his incredible season was a dissapointment

[@ColdFear22]

Great series, love to see The Eagles moving on! I was so worried they would lose game 3 and we'd have to look back at Dan's 3 near homerun pop up's. Dallas had 1 or 2 as well.

Thank You Schema for the amazing entertainment over the past few years! Not that i’m hating on the D-Backs but it’ll be nice to see a new NL team in the World series and a new world series champion this year 😅. Preds and Mallards?

[@MYSTlC999]

First off I just want to say heck of a run for schema! Wasn’t always the smoothest but was part of the dynamic trio! Good luck to him for his future! His defense and base hits will be missed. 😢 Next I just want to say, I miss the old jimmy knorp, I’m sorry but his hitting has gone down hill a lot, his pitching is still up there! But his hitting has died down. That 2021 jimmy was averaging 2 homers a series, and I rlly miss that but hope it gets better soon! I still love you jimmy and the dbacks hope the best for your future! Still one of the best players out there jimmy!!😊
