Scott Frost is such a great broadcaster. He has it all, a great voice, super enthusiasm that is infectious, and a deep appreciation for and knowledge of the game. Game On SF!

[@anthonybeltran6144]

I am new to One Pocket and so to have it commentated in such a sophisticated way was appreciated.

[@mikecabral1579]

It’s hard to call one pocket with several camera views. Scott is very good at seeing the game and he’s has a very pleasant voice as well.

[@JeffMTX]

He’s #2 behind JJ…

[@joebradley1520]

For sure, but it would be better if there was another person discussing shots with him

[@nwmopointhunter638]

The GOAT at 69 years of age still amazing how he can beat one of the worlds best at one pocket and make it look so easy. And with Mr. Frost calling the shots has made Rail Birds better than ever!!! Very nice job Scott.

[@billysikes1374]

Sky isn't one of the best one pocket players, there is a 1000 that play better, At 70 years old, Efren can and will spot him and guys like him 10 6

[@ruabadfish2oou]

Scott Frost has taken the pool commentary world by storm!

[@scottbeckman5502]

I absolutely love Scott Frost commentary. And great match too lol

[@justachristian4072]

Scott Frost is getting better and better!

[@SoCaliGuyHB394]

BTW: Scott, impresive commentary! I enjoy hearing your remarks, makes this game more understandable.

[@LegolasHIMM]

Man I just love the fact that Mr. Reyes is still healthy enough to play !

[@Th3Unf0rg1v3n95]

I love how hyped up Scott Frost gets when he commentates One Pocket. You can always tell it's his favorite format or at least one of them. Scott if you see this, thanks for your contribution to the sport both on and off the table!

[@judg3Grady]

It is a double pleasure to watch Efren and listen to Scott's comments. I believe that the Freezer is the best pool commentator nowadays period. I love that every possible shot is discussed in terms of speed and the use of English, with the altenatives and why you should possibly choose the one over the others. And even with commentators that are high-profile players as well, like Karl Boyes, for example, you would only hear the problem and the shot he would prefer to do at most. You would most probably never hear stuff like here, what English and speed you should use on the break breaking from different angles. That's just another level of commentating. So, that "putting up" is quite pleasurable, Scott, don't you worry =) Looking forward to more videos and that commentary.

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

Another great match! Efren was impressive on the 3rd game, taking his time, showing great patience which ultimately gave him the win. Thanks Scott for another awesome call during the game.

[@jimelliff2454]

Scott Frost is my favorite commentator! Has it all!

[@jacobraber4588]

Fantastic broadcasting 😃

[@derrickallen2054]

More great commentary from the Freezer. Glad to see Efren still playing at a top level, especially at 69! Legend of legends 💪

[@SoCaliGuyHB394]

Scott Frost, is the most knowledgeable one-hole commentator on the planet.

[@donm1547]

Efren is a no-brainer for praise. But, time and time again, Scott Frost is without a doubt the most competant, accurate and fluid commentater on earth! Definately the "Howard Cosell" of pool, absolutely love a game more with his input, knowledge!

[@aubeenlopez1051]

Love one pocket, basically the chess of cue sports. It's a good window into not only a player's ability, but their strategic insight and maneuvering. It really says more than meets the eye about Efren that this has historically been his tournament. It's with this accomplishment more then anything that he deserves his GOAT status.

[@DavidLopez-pc4nw]

Gracias Mr Frost

[@weldabar]

Thanks Scott for explaining this game a little bit. This is the first game I've been able to watch through. Of course we always enjoy spectating Reyes.

[@johnnywatson3971]

One of my favorite things about Efren is his love of the game. Even when his opponent made that great shot, he cheered him on. That was awesome.

[@bobbybeeman7280]

If there could be anything boring about the game at all our lovely commentator would make it very interesting. There is no better, thanks

[@calvinjohnson7806]

Thanks for all the videos. Scott is a great commentator

[@SoCaliGuyHB394]

Efren, the GOAT! Great ambassador for pool, A class act.

[@kxwproductions1300]

That first rack was an absolute masterclass in position play from Efren. Skyler never had a chance

[@JeffMTX]

Yeah poor Skyler messed with a rattlesnake ;)

[@frederiquerijsdijk]

Scott's commentary is really good.

[@djamo1969]

I was going to comment on how it’s fashionable to say Jeremy Jones is my favorite announcer, but after watching a lot of these 2023 DCC Railbirds broadcasts with Scott Frost, I was going to say I think I like Frost even better, and evidently, I’m not alone.

[@tornintheflesh5781]

I love your voice very soothing to hear...ty for the video. I already subscribed & like before I watch any video of yours.

[@420Bill]

Efren is still a beast!

[@janrevmax8185]

A toothless beast. Doesn't bite but just swallows his opponents. 😂

[@belmicah]

Indeed love Frosty at the helm

[@co7366]

What a beautiful shot @29:20. Absolute beauty and opens him up for the run out.

[@oldcoachcrane]

You do a great job commenting. Adds a lot. TY

[@akquicksilver]

Mr. GOAT! I had a hard time putting up with your excellent commentary, but I'll survive.

[@Arsenal-Tengu]

Great commentating Frost

[@qsviewsrpgs4571]

As much as I'm a fan of Reyes (being a Filipino) Woodward played well. I wish him all the best in his career.

[@JeffMTX]

Efren’s wife said “boy you best get outta this house you’re drivin me crazy with a capital K!” So he snuck out and caught a flight to derby city 2023…

[@saponpool]

my man still sending 1 of those best player back to school

[@johnschoneboom7757]

Pleasure to watch Efren so on top of his game and like everyone else says, Scott is the best pool commentator out there. Informative, natural, and fun, and understands his audience. Quite a few other commentators I've sat through make it into some kind of pissing contest with each other as if it's all about them instead of the people at the table. Scott never does that. He's always respectful and humble, all the more impressive from him being one of the top one-pocket players himself.

[@mellow7me]

I watched both guys played in Alabama… Efren played some exhibition games with the locals for 20 dollars and Skyler played guys for free… Just a Great opportunity to be in the presence of these guys !!

[@MG-lr1xo]

What other sport can you still be competitive at 69 years old against younger competitors, pool is great guys. Experience helps and good health. What a beautiful well executed shot by Reyes at 29:40 😂

[@Random-video]

Never got tired when I shot serious pool I’d play for 16 hours a day everyday for years..

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Ice Man, you perfectly captured Efren's ethos when you described him as "professional." Everything about him is positive: he's humble, classy, and a *beast* when it comes to making shots.

[@bfrytech]

Wow! Efren is going into this without a loss. That's 90's stuff. Can we get Nicky V. to jump into this!

[@texascowboy8612]

Very nice Scott. !!!! Your great !!

[@jasonkelsey3868]

I think Efrin has won every lag in every match I’ve watched and I’ve watched dozens. Can’t remember him losing one

[@kaneikaika]

The Magician still has his magic.

[@Pratyut]

Good to see Efren run out twice at the start

[@FloydMaxwell]

Frost on the mic, Reyes on the cue. Doesn't get any better than this.

[@user-nt9ck5cz8q]

Thank you for not telling the viewers what they are going to do before hand. I'm sure you know who I'm talking about.

[@louisbuzzi869]

Efren Reyes is my favorite player.

[@Krushard]

This game is so underrated, they have to adjust their banks to this slow speed in order to not sell out. So, you have to rethink your normal 9/10 ball bank lines and that's just one small aspect among dozens of other little secrets of this chess play.

[@Rickbearcat]

Where are the rest of the matches? Were you prevented from broadcasting them because someone else has the rights to them?

[@3k2p6]

The goat!

[@Sir-816]

For as difficult as it can be to commentate these players especially Efren who is renound for making commentators look Foolish and unable to commentate him Scott is one of the best out there

[@belmicah]

Reyes still doin it 😊

[@ethangorman5685]

Putting up with you? Scott we are getting down with you, fabulous match; I think it is so interesting that the only thing between Efren and domination is his own mortal form, and visibly

[@bw4593]

I hope I can walk and stand as well as Reyes at 69YOA, I have no illusions I’ll play oool that well at that age 😂

[@MultiBmxkings]

Whens the next episode

[@nixonvasquezfonseca3336]

Efrén Reyes is a magician because he has a perfect command of the wings, I have never seen him do a jump in his sports career, I agree that jumping the white ball should be penalized in pool billiards

[@CrazyHeartRanch]

Is that tape on Efrens cue, looks like an older Predator BK

[@gregaclark2]

Is it normal to play where balls you make in your opponents pocket don't stay down (and don't count as +1 for your opponent)? I've always played it as it counts for your opponent, maybe this varies?

[@RailbirdsTV]

If you make a ball in your opponents pocket, it counts for them. Unless you commit a foul on the shot, in that case, your opponent does not get credit for the ball and it spots (along with one of your balls also spotting for the foul).

[@Arsenal-Tengu]

The bank at 29:25, Efren puts inside English. Wouldn't this shorten the bank?

[@hantoam]

Yes it does shorten the bank but at their level of play, they compensate for that by hitting the object ball thinner. In this case by hitting the object ball thinner and with inside spin that’s how he was able to go around two rails to fall on the next ball.

[@Arsenal-Tengu]

@@hantoam Thanks for the explanation. It's mindblowing how good he is and his knowledge of the game.

[@natemcconnell3395]

Where is round 13 with Reyes??

[@RailbirdsTV]

Accu-Stats

[@CrazyHeartRanch]

Babe Ruth'd it at 21:25

[@Random-video]

Might as well have Jeremy Jones be the commentator because this dude sounds like him.

[@archico01]

The secret why nobody can beat Efren in One Pocket is because JUMP CUE IS NOT ALLOWED.

[@sfincione2000]

He's still got it. =) What a legend Efren is. Skyler was no competition for Efren... I don't think one-pocket is popular in the Shire. Gandalf kicks his ass every time they play. p.s. Don't wear the ring Skyler!

[@Brownie-tg3nu]

Efren might not shoot as well as he once did,but he is still too good at one pocket for Woodward to beat him.

[@shortydancer]

Efren made a great run at the Derby. Would love for him to come back again and snap it off

[@paulsmc7041]

There's a pretty simple rule about comments. Do *not* tell us about the following matches. :(

[@shortydancer]

@@paulsmc7041 I didn’t. I just said he had a great run. What does that imply or mean? I didn’t say if he won or lost. Pretty simple if you ask me.

[@paulsmc7041]

I read your comment as, "he had a great run. I wish he would come back and win it next time." To me you're pretty clearly saying he did not win in 2023. Anyway, if that's not what you meant, then that's not what you want.

[@billysikes1374]

It's crazy to think a man at 69 and still the best one pocket player on Earth, I mean I know Alex and Chohan can beat him now but they better be on they're best game or they get torchered lol It's like the NBA, the goat is Jordan, The only 2 sports where there is no debate on who the greatest of all time is, Some same LeBron James, let me ask you all this, In ANY Sport, does the GOAT have a LOSING RECORD in the finals? LJ is 4-6, MJ id 6-0, never lost n finals, 6 time finals MVP, AND NEVER HAD TO PLAY A GAME 7, Efren and MJ, real goats

[@_Ramen-Vac_]

Efren Bata Xfinity Reyes!

[@bfrytech]

I wonder if Earl had anything to do with Efren putting grip tape on his cue. He's a big fan of Efren...curious

[@Roland16Cruz]

Efren Reyes still GOAT😊

[@barrybigelow4259]

the worst thing about trying to watch a good match is a big mouth that never stops talking.

[@ghettoasfuckxp]

Undoubtedly #1 cueist OAT
