Josh Donaldson, The Angriest Player in Baseball

[@BaseballHistorian]

“Josh, you’re grounded. Go to the time-out ditch.”

Yeah. Donaldson ought to become an ump when he retires. In fact, i think former players should make the best umps

[@src0241]

Exactly!! His zone awareness is damn near 100%. Then when he lays into a pitch it’s no doubt....bomb!! Honestly have not seen him hit a dribbler or a Texas leaguer...

[@reesespieces2514]

That’s basically Josh Donaldson, Bryce Harper, and Joey Votto, guys who know the strike zone better than the umps and aren’t afraid to argue about it.

America breeds more of them than Western Europe, and, within the US, they're more common in a place like Florida than somewhere like Vermont.

[@LudaChez]

The "Florida Man" thing exists for one main reasons with outliers that make it worse. Arrest records are public here. It's a huge state with a large population and crazy wildlife. It also has parts that are basically empty and boring (any area of the country like that has drug issues). So people just scour the arrest records and find crazy stuff and post it. Honestly every state has several "Florida Man" moments every year. It's just was easier to find here. It's also insane because most of the state is so lowly populated and like "the south" while then you have South Florida (Miami Dade, Broward, and West Palm) that are cultural melting pots filled with geniuses and assholes. It's definitely a wacky state. Like St Petersburg and Tampa. It's like you cross the street from island paradise with friendly people to meth labs and assholes. Even Orlando is making massive progress... But like every large state there are chunks of cities with 4k populations just fucking and fighting. It's crazy but Cali and Texas have the same problem.... It's easier being from and living in Miami as it's considered it's own world.

[@LudaChez]

@@janso7979 yeah of course more people like that come from Florida than Vermont. Are you aware of population and population density? Manhattan breeds more crazy people than all of Vermont and you could fit what, 500 Manhattans in Vermont? (Actually about 430 and all of Vermont has half the population of Manhattan) You think a place like Wyoming has the pinnacle of humankind? You don't think California or Texas have issues? I rather deal with a Florida idiot than a Texas idiot any day.

[@Jame5man]

17:30 I remember that game. That game is the one that spawned my complete contempt for baseball umpires. To let one teams pitchers run roughshod the entire game intimidating batters and hitting them but only punish one act late in the game long after it made sense to do so is beyond pathetic. That game, followed by repeated patterns of gross incompetence is why I have no respect for any MLB umpire unless they prove they deserve it

Girl: Touches Bat for Bad Luck Donaldson: And I took that personally

[@warlordofbritannia]

My general impression of Donaldson is that he’s not a mean-spirited dude, instead he’s really, very, *extremely* intense (even when he’s not camping!)

[@Alexander_Grant]

He's the guy you want on your team, definitely the kind of guy you want behind the plate if you're pitching. I had a catcher in high school who definitely had an anger issue, not to dissimilar to Donaldson, and he would not be afraid to come out to the mound to tell you to fix it if you weren't living up to his expectations with his colorful language on full display. If that umpire was giving bad calls though, or someone on the other team hit one of our guys, he was the first one yelling and sticking up for his pitcher. We didn't really get along outside of the lines, but man, the amount of respect we had for each other when we were the battery. Some guy absolutely leveled him on a play at the plate one time, and that was the only baseball brawl I've ever been a part of, whole team went after that poor dude. I don't think their team was expecting it. We caught a few in the ribs for the rest of the game, as did they. Scrappy game, but that's the kind of energy someone like that brings to a team, love him if he's on your team, hate him if you're playing against him.

[@warlordofbritannia]

@@Alexander_Grant I’ve never heard of, let alone seen a full-team brawl during a high school game Yeesh, that guy musta been one hell of a competitor

[@Alexander_Grant]

@@warlordofbritannia Yeah he was feisty enough that the team knew he'd do the same for us. It happened in the late 2000s, so it was before things like that went viral or anyone thought to pull out their cell phone. Our team was a group of country boys who grew up in either run down trailer parks or working on ranches and farms. It was kind of the culture of the team, if you had a problem with another guy you'd take it behind the dugout after practice and the coaches would look the other way. A lot of them were some tough SOBs, I wasn't really one of those, being a pitcher and all. Most of us on both teams got suspended for the next game. Lot of freshmen got a varsity jersey for that next game. Loved that team to death though, once you earned your respect in the dugout, they had your back between the lines.

They're probably the most overrated MLB team of that era. They sure get talked about a lot for a team that never made the World Series, never won 95 games, were only in the playoffs twice and had one ill-deserved MVP (Mike Trout was both a better hitter and fielder in 2015.) I mean, they show the Bautista home run off Dyson and the Encarnacion homer off Jimenez a lot for how little they meant in the end. By contrast, you basically never see any highlights of the Royals' two WS runs and their WS championship from the same time frame. 'Fun' is also very subjective. Their best two players, Donaldson and Bautista, are assholes. David Price is an asshole too. They had two different domestic abusers on the team (Reyes and Osuna). Kevin Pillar was suspended for homophobia. They played entertaining baseball, but the team was basically the 70s Raiders without any of the winning.

[@KC-bg1th]

God, I miss the 2015-2016 Jays. I loved Gibby: the players must have loved him too, since Gibby would always have their back and get ejected _with_ them. Donaldson, Bautista, and Encarnación was such a loaded heart of the lineup. Really put Canada on the map, and breathed life into Canadian baseball, even though it was short-lived.

That's how you make baseball fans for life. I think a lot of pro athletes take heckling way too seriously. Some hecklers go way overboard, sure, but I believe in all honestly most are just trying to have fun with the players. We went down to South Louisiana for a baseball tournament in high school baseball once, and some Cajun high schoolers from the same school hosting the tournament had set up a pickup truck behind the left field wall. Pretty sure they were more than a few in, and just heckled every team that warmed up out there, and gave every left fielder a hard time. They gave each of us a nickname, mine was Daddy Long Legs because I was particularly lanky at the time. It was absolutely hilarious.

The way they make it to the big leagues and what they go through is pretty crazy. I like Josh, this is a Sad and a happy story.

I remember when he was on MLB network 11:25, that was an incredible teaching moment on that segment. Also loved how he went off on Machado. He wanted to mess him up!

Bro I remember when you had 20k subs I used to watch all you compilation vids and now your even better!! Love to see how far you’ve come!

This is great and I love seeing someone overcome insurmountable odds. As a former player, I always understood the love for the game-still have my Topps and Fleer and Upper Deck cards from the early 90s and late 80s. I am not a fan of the modified game in our world today (because people stare at their cellphones all day and have no attention span). Still practice throwing and hitting to this day. Sadly, that uncle sounded like he was an abuser as well. In Little League, I was once hit 4 times in a game and 8 times the entire season. I had to change my stance-prior to that I modeled my batting stance after Willie Mays and Ron Gant and Terry Pendleton. The Big Leagues even pulled me into games as a fill-in. I decided to do music and various other things instead after my parents split. I did play intramural baseball at college and didn't lose my spark. His enthusiasm for the game......fires up other players.

Clip at 11:25 is an absolute all-timer

I loved that 2015 Jay's team. I rarely watch baseball but Donaldson grew on me quick after I saw him jump into the stands to catch a foul ball. I love guys that put in that kind of effort.

Josh Donaldson Will always be one of my favorite players

[@willbanks950]

shout out to his mom. she sounds like a fantastic person.

[@manbok2035]

Fairly certain his Mom is the sole reason he kept it together and channeled his energy to Baseball.

[@hadleysheffield5226]

Was just thinking the same. Lots of people aren’t lucky enough to have a mother that supportive.

[@rustyshackleford6637]

She looks like she's 27

[@LucasFerreira-cq8qz]

Overcoming domestic violence, quitting smoking, protecting her son in every way possible and never letting him quit anything in his life. Most parents think their children are the physical reminder of their own bad choices, for people like Donaldson's mother she knows her son is the only good thing that ever happened to her.

[@alwaysplay13]

Ngl it sounds like his mom was a bit of a karen with a "my babys an angel" syndrome...it all sounds like a testament to josh to channel it all this way

[@Karismic]

I’ve currently watched 19 seconds of the video and I already know it’s gonna be a banger

[@wintyforever]

The moment with his mom and the Maserati is so awesome! How she jumps on him! Makes me want to have a son who becomes a baseball player!

[@jerdog8335]

Love this channel! Awesome behind the scenes info.

[@Keew57]

You single handedly got me interested in the mlb, keep these videos coming!

[@waelse1]

I've been a Donaldson fan during his Toronto and Atlanta years, hope he continues his success.

[@theyankeesamurai23]

This channel brought my interest back into the sport, because it tells stories that no one cares to tell while other people make the millionth compilation. This is fking content bro. Keep up the good work

[@ladscrimpton8590]

Also it is amazing that a stoic guy like JD has such a soft spot for his mother. It seems like they've been through a lot, it's nice that the tough life didn't tear them apart.

[@joserivera1894]

This is pretty good! I love this channel. So underrated

[@joserivera1894]

Imagine coming back to a video you like then you see a heart on your comment. Thank you so much!

[@NathanielSnider1017]

ah but is it Pretty Good

[@patrickfyvie9643]

this just reaffirmed my love for josh donaldson

[@paulroberts826]

These vids are simply the best. Can't stop watching them lol.

[@duckduckgoose51]

Your videos are so addictive. I’ve learned so much about baseball from your channel, thank you.

[@rockofshame]

I was at Donaldson's first 4 hit game back when he was with Oakland. I knew that he was going to be special for a really long time and was happy to have such a good player that would be on the A's for the forseeable future. I couldn't believe when Billy Boy traded him, but I wish him nothing but success for the rest of his life.

[@UnitedGamingMLB]
