Chris Via and Ryan Barnes Make the Finals! | PBA Players Championship 2024 Ep 4

[@TheHouseBowling]

Guys, please support professional bowling and watch Ryan, Chris, and the others on the telecast tomorrow at 5 p.m. Eastern on Fox! Also, give @BarnzyBowling and @tvbowlingsupply some love on KZbin! Thanks for sticking with us all week!

[@Lovetheducks]

Will do.

[@billdemars-beautyofsound]

It was quite a ride and I watched every frame Packy. Good on The House though and...let's go Chris!!!

[@Bjaardker]

Thank you for the coverage. I couldn't wait every day for the next update.

[@bowlnow824]

Got it on DVR because I probably won't get off in time to watch it from the start. Keep it up and wish one day I could bowl a national stop

[@glenkamida71]

I am a humongous fan on PBA bowling since the 70s when my dad and I would watch on ABC with Chris Schenkel. I subscribe to plenty of KZbin bowling channels. Love your new tournament blogs Packy!

[@TheBlueBunnyKen]

Aww Chris Barnes is so proud of his son, loved that moment

[@soaplesstv]

As a dad, nothing compares to seeing your kid succeed. The pride Barnes felt in that moment. Great content.

[@hersheyskwertz9315]

It’s one thing when you do it. It’s another when your child does it. It’s indescribable. But dads out there know what we are talking about.

[@Ironfangzu]

I suspect young Ryan Barnes will have a greater career than Chris Barnes, who is one of my absolute favorite bowlers. Great bowling family as mom is a pro bowler as well.

[@hersheyskwertz9315]

@@Ironfangzu I suspect your suspicion would be reasonable.

[@TraumaER]

@@Ironfangzunot guaranteed. I remember when Chris made his TV debut. Everyone he bowled with then doesn’t bowl on tour anymore or is dead. Chris is the Cal Ripken of the PBA.

[@nevinkinzel]

My favorite part of the video, for sure! You could feel the emotion.

[@bowlnow824]

There was no one more happy and more proud man in that building today than Chris Barnes. I showed this to my dad who watched me win my first youth tournament, my first adult tournament and pretty much everything bowling all the wya to pba regional level. He said there is better feeling Chris and he knows how he feels. I can't wait to go on his podcast and tell him and his son congratulations. Great video guys!

[@teremus]

Fantastic format and coverage, highlighting the tournament and the sport. Not specifically about Packy, not saying he doesn't deserve it, but opening up the information to really be about the professional level of the game as a whole. Love the work, PBA itself needs to understand this is how the sport appeals to the younger generation - through videos like these. Thank you for all you're doing for Bowling.

[@TheHouseBowling]

Much appreciated!

[@ToolHead44]

You guys have come out so strong with this format to start the year. Always wondered how the qualifying rounds shook out, from pin count to payout. You really are helping grow the game! Can’t wait to see what the rest of the season holds.

[@iMikoChannel]

I really like this new format. As someone who never watched anything pre-national television, it’s really interesting to learn how things like match play as well as the prize breakdown works! Great finish - so close!

[@TraumaER]

The PBA should sponsor this channel. You get more insight from this channel than sometimes the actual shows LOL!

[@douglasiles2024]

Great start to the season, Packy. Loved seeing Chris' reaction to Ryan winning his last match and securing a spot in the show. I'm glad you guys got that on film.

[@zackm8]

I gotta say I am really liking this new style of video. Excellent work! And let's go Chris and Ryan!

[@PSURace1999]

Great runs gents! I thoroughly enjoyed following the journey this week. And the videos were spot on! Loved the entire series. Keep up the great work! PS: the “not Keven Williams had me rolling”

[@Jbmccain86]

I’m so stoked that Chris and Barnzy are facing off in the first telecast of the season! Let’s gooo!!!

[@josephbazarnik7878]

Packy, great run. Was rooting for you. Mitch had a incredible run. Congratulations to Ryan Barnes and Chris Via for making step ladder. Seeing Chris Barnes embracing his son is incredible.

[@MrSouthernInfo]

The content is amazing from the start of the PBA season! I love the behind the scenes interviews into the players giving their insight into decision making, equipment use and etc.

[@Lovetheducks]

Congrats Packy and everyone else. Huge showing for the channel and a great start to the year.

[@joshlacombe9419]

Love the commentary by the house. That was my favorite part of og brad and Kyle. I was sad when they stopped doing that. Thanks for bringing it back.

[@brianwhorrall1769]

Absolutely loving the rock/metal music you added in the last couple videos! I don’t mind the electronic stuff but as a metalhead this speaks to me 😂❤

[@TheBowlingGamer]

LETS GO NATE!!!!!! I'm so happy he got 3rd and made the show. He is such a incredible person and deserves it! But honestly Packy it is always a blast watching you and I cant wait for you to absolutely pop off this year.

[@TheHouseBowling]

One of the nicest guys out here!!

[@MichaelConroy24]

Proud of Y'all!

[@hammertime6066]

Loved all of it great video his doing a great job hope see u guys next stop😊

[@CalcanoMusic]

Love how you showed the 6th-24th or whatever at the end it was cool to shoutout how tough the overall competition was. Gives perspective how hard the grind to top 5 actually is

[@danjs34p]

I was awesome to be there in person to watch the match play finals. Good luck to the house the rest of the tour.

[@petetoemmes6673]

Make it your year The House Bowlers.

[@oiler62]

This is going to be so cool tomorrow. Barnzy, Smallwood, Via. Packy came on strong and almost made the show.

[@TrendSettaRico]

Moments like that between Chris and Ryan hits extremely different aftee losing my dad. I know that will go down as one of the best moments for them ever! #Superman #Superboy

[@steven_merrell]

Love the new format! Keep up the great content.

[@johnham442]

Awesome start to the year! Keep it up

[@Nailv]

I'm so proud of Ryan. The moment I realized I was so excited congratulations Ryan. Packy congratulations to you

[@dfwait14]

Thanx for the awesome footage!!!!

[@shedshedson1372]

Hyped for this TV Show. Great run Packy

[@ItsJustRJ]

Keven and Mitch hitting the balloon at the end and Keven jumping to save it had me rolling on the floor laughing!

[@bluescoins1199]

Love it Pops right there showing support for his son.

[@joshg218]

Really nice moment to see BJ hug Ryan like his own son...

[@prettynicefield1104]

great start for HUPÉ with spi !! yep 🎉🎉

[@Slinginghotlead007]

Love the content. And I like that you posted payouts. I think it says a lot and is important to the sport to let bowlers know what they can expect or hope for or shoot for. Congrats on a top ten finish! 🎉

[@BucksCorner101]

I swear I didn't cry during the father son hug.

[@TheClovvn]

Was pullin' for you guys. Great job overall. Packy you were shootin' lights out, keep it up and you easily have another national under your belt. Mitch once you're out of the growing pains I feel you're def. going to be someone to lookout for on the tour this year. Kev, same I'm sure once the rust knocks off we'll be seeing you on the telecast as well and can't wait. Would've loved to see an all house/darren finals, competition seemed crazy w/the scores tho. Was honestly super surprised Belmo was 24th, but jet lag that bad, cold from hot and getting sick on top of it is bad juju. Will definitely keep watching as the season progresses. GL to all of you 💯

[@michaelbarry5933]

6th in a major - great tournament, Packy! Good luck to the 5 finalists.

[@bowlingwithcarlmatter3935]

I was just bowling with Ryan in Davenport Iowa a couple weeks back and to see him in a PBA Telecast is crazy

[@aresistancerider_2926]

That’s awesome knew Ryan would be making a show soon he got the skills

[@TruStory97]

Smalllwood will probably win this major. Can’t wait the US Open! I’ll definitely be there.

[@TheBlaikeHobson]

damn packy you were there the whole time, this year is gonna be big for you i know it!

[@jbeardsley323]

Hell of a start to the edit on the video. Great job guys. Got me pumped up to bowl watching the Rams vs Lions game. That's impressive lol

[@mardogaming1999]

Quite an amazing format for a video. Keep it up.

[@Anders-B]

Fantastic coverage all week, great work guys. The bowling wasn't bad either!

[@danschweiger3700]

Tim Gruendler representing St. Louis, Mo in 9th! Congrats. Thanks for the content guys!

[@michaeljavier2678]

Aloha Packy, congrats great tournament. Only the beginning. Have a great season, I'll be watching.

[@Sebbetheboss07]

Amazing format on this tournament vids, keep it up

[@xlasvegan7x]

Chris Via the only bowler that brings his guns to every bowling match💪👊

[@TheOtherCaleb]

Turns out bowling and metal instrumentals go great together lol.

[@dumattco]

Great job everyone! By the way, I really like the music in this video I like the metal hard rock sound! 🤪

[@TheBlaikeHobson]

“kris prather aka not kevin williams” got me rolling😂😂

[@thomastaylor2513]

Great going packy and the house quite a few of you make expenses for a month a more

[@ricka.wetselphdbowler3526]

Chris Barns the proud Papa! Good bowling Packy and Chris. 6th place still a pretty good check!

[@rh88841]

Great work for the House this week, rooting for Chris tomorrow! But hard to root against any of the 5 guys.

[@Perry2186]

Music was awesome this video

[@palmybranner1624]

Great video Packy. Great bowling.

[@zedsodead]

Does anyone know if we could've watched this somewhere? Bowltv or the like? I would sit and watch every single match play and pay to do it if I could. Your new format makes them look better than the stepladder finals. Small critique, no spoilers in the thumbnail, please. THIS WILL BE the new number one bowling channel, IMO

[@RysterARCEE]

BowlTV

[@heavy_metalfreak]

the intro music slaps, also congrats!

[@Doza418]

Great footage. Great bowling.

[@jeffromaine142]

Smallwood HAS to win...he's the only one out of the five with a "Bowler's Body". Woooohoooo!

Great job packy now let’s root for Barnzy

[@shaunmcisaac782]

soooo close Packy. GGs all around.

[@DridgeLive]

so when is it happening on tv? Monday 5pm?

[@pudge5614]

It's crazy how the bowling community is so big yet so small. I know Keven from my hometown of Springfield MO he might not remember me since i haven't seen him since he was probably like 15, and i know Chris Via from my current home in Springfield OH

[@nevinkinzel]

You trying to find the Simpsons, or something? Moving to all the Springfields around the country? 😂

[@recoilrob324]

I was curious about the prize money everyone made...thanks! And now I see how hard it is to make a living on the PBA circuit. If you win...that's great, but it's going to be hard to survive on just Top 10 money with travel costs factored in. I'm proud of all of these guys and that they get along with one another so well. Great to watch!!!

[@GhostofKaiser]

"Kris Prather aka not Keven Williams" Dead. That said, hell of a showing for the House, especially Packy and BJ (though it really sucks what happened to BJ in position round). Barnzy bowled his ass off to make the show, so kudos to him. Hope he does well enough to win tomorrow night. Best of luck to all at the U.S. Open. Don't fry out too much, guys.

Hi my name is Nick I am a bowler on Butler traditional High school we would be very honored to have y’all come by during our regionals tournament. Ik yall are very busy considering the PBA schedule. Our singles regionals is on Tuesday 1/23 4pm and our team regionals is on 1/28 8am. They are both at king pin lanes in Jeffersontown Kentucky. I understand if yall wouldn’t be able to make it. Thank you for the great content and good luck and I wish yall the best in this season and the ones coming 🫶. Ps…( it would be amazing if yall could get some of the other guys to come….)

Yeah. As a drummer, I throughly enjoyed the instrumentals in this video. That halftime groove went crazy.

Gosh I wish you would had made it also, congrats to the other men bowling for a title

[@Mememememememe123]

Any chance you can explain how Ryan Barnes isn’t a pba member but can bowl in pba events? Seen someone say if he were to win that it wouldn’t count as a title cause he’s not a member.

[@TheHouseBowling]

College kids are allowed to bowl all of the events as a stepping stone with the exception of the TOC and the Players championship, however 4 college kids from WSU were granted a commissioners exemption to bowl the PTQ to this event!

Must of been so surreal for Chris to witness his son make a national telecast just a few feet away. GO GET THAT BREAD BARNZY

[@thebestian]

having a pattern that forces a specific 2-4 bowling balls is a questionable decision by whoever set up this tournament.
