PBA Players Championship: Barnes, Via, Stubler, O'Neill and Smallwood | PBA on FOX

[@Ironfangzu]

Great matches to open the season. Young Ryan Barnes, at age 21, steps up in his first TV appearance and buries the front 8. I'm sure we will be seeing him a lot more. It's fantastic to see not only his facial resemblance to his dad Chris, but when he settles into his approach, you see that little side to side hip wiggle, and it's like watching Chris Barnes as a young man. Amazing.

[@TDragon0617]

When Via went to Chris Barnes he said “you raised a great one” He did indeed, much 🍀 to Ryan this year.

[@henryt9281]

@@TDragon0617 Pretty disgusting and classless of all of Ryan's opponents to acknowledge Chris after each match, but completely ignore Lynda who was sitting right next to Chris.

[@slaiyfershin]

Even has the same cupped wrist, but just 2 handed ver of it.

[@LouSassles]

I’ve watched this over and over. I’m a huge fan of the Barnes. Ryan’s 2 handed style is so clean to the point I even study it.

[@Tcrror]

Seeing Chris so happy and proud of his kid almost destroyed me... I lost my dad a couple years ago. I hope Ryan isn't taking any of these moments for granted. That goes for everyone else that still has one or both parents. Treasure that time (if the relationship permits, obviously, don't treasure and abusive relationship or anything like that.

[@Zurround]

My own father and I are estranged and I have not spoken to him in over 5 years. Very sad story. I also suffer from Asperger's syndrome which has made my life very lonely and difficult. That young man has none of the problems I have had and has a much better father than I did. I am very jealous of him.

[@Tcrror]

I am so, so sorry to hear about that. :(

[@Tcrror]

@@ConnorBrew19 Oh, no! I'm really glad she's still around! I feel so badly for the people that had horrible relationships with one or both parents or didn't know one or both of them. I can't imagine how horrible that must be. Pain and trauma are both relative, so it's not really helpful to compare situations, but as human beings it is very easy to do it. I really hope you guys have much longer together.

[@erichbachaman]

It broke me for sure, I met Chris last month and he was incredibly kind to my young son. Made his day as well as mine. My son still brings it up at least once a week, I can't believe I got to meet Chris!

[@matthewholmgren6815]

I love how everything Ryan does (except the release) is just like his dad. Everything!

[@GamingBelladonna229]

Ryan following in his father’s footsteps. He did awesome! 👏

[@DrBoX89]

Wow, Ryan did fantastic. He’s going to have a great career on the tour and should be very proud of how he played this tourney. Grew up watching Chris Barnes on the tour and his success is definitely showing up already in his son.

[@jimmyscott6159]

Thanks to whoever uploaded this broadcast. My local Fox station in New Orleans preempted the show because I guess they thought temperatures in the mid 60’s was severe enough that people wanted to see that for 2 hours instead of a major Bowling tournament.

[@Sieze_1]

Same here! They showed the news instead of the bowling!

He looks just like his dad

[@Fortworthman999]

I bowled showplace lanes in euless texas and chris barnes would just show up and chat with the bowlers, it was great!!

[@HuyNguyen-kw4zc]

OMG watched his dad bowled growing up and now his son. That setup where he twist his hips is just like his dad.

[@christiancorral349]

Like the announcer said , great sportsmanship by Chris Via! You love to see it

[@PatientBoat]

Interesting to see Barnes stick to the urethane for so long. Regardless, he had an impressive showing and i'm looking forward to seeing him in the future.

[@foxwolf316]

man match 1 and 2 are just better than match 3 and 4, like ryan barnes would of won match 3 if it wasn't for that 10 pin miss on frame one, but close match, that last match was so sloppy to watch, but bill did what he had to do so good game

[@sh1nenkai258]

@@foxwolf316 also o'neill had a fortunate brookyln that helped but overall bill had a better look accross the game so he did deserve to win whilst had ryan had more experience he would of switched to reactive faster but overall great showing from ryan barnes

[@ripvanrevs]

The reality was a little too strong and lazy but once he threw the phaze 2 on the left lane, I thought he would throw it on both lanes as good as it looked.

[@sh1nenkai258]

@@ripvanrevs ye def, reality was too early, if ryan had experience he would of switched to phaze 2 quicker and threw on both lanes

[@jakecharlesdaggett9868]

Two hours to watch four games of matchplay, a handful of shots making the difference of tens of thousands of dollars after 48 games of bowling, and a commercial break jammed against a memorial for one of the most influential men in bowling ever while a young lad is on the front 5... Never change PBA!

[@SCMaglev261]

25:10 The release and the strike were so smooth

[@bjrnsimonsen2311]

32:18 Was very impressive. He could take the pin behind the other pin, which is very difficult without hitting the front pin.

[@Pend2027]

This man is always extremely interesting.

[@Interdicted]

on Bills first shot, it kinda looked weird, but then he went full back at it, just like his form back in the good days, grats

[@99averagebowler56]

Ive met Chris barnes hes really nice to talk to,

[@NateCraven318]

[@nevinkinzel]

What a great tournament to open the season! Two seasoned pros and three younger guys. One House Bowling/DMC/TV Bowling Supply member and one College star w/ HOFer parents. I was rooting for Chris and Ryan but had my money on Bill. Keep airing the tournaments, Fox!

[@ubermo1182]

@31:54 You did not just say that..... LOL!! Randy, I love you! You're the man!

Strange pin action. Seems more explosive than I can recall. Have they changed anything with the pins lately?

[@JoeyBowling507]

dem pros hommie

[@XenoGuru]

The speed and revs these modern pros create have a much heavier influence on the pins. Plus the equipment is much stronger

[@jamedlock83]

Why do bowlers "re-rack"?

[@mathewhorodner2000]

when pins are off spot; sometimes, there are vibrations caused by the machines that cause the machine to push the pins off spot, so the players want a rerack because they probably won't get fair pin action when hitting the pins

[@semperfidelis8386]

same ball, same line

[@keinysyu1296]

Well done , Barnes!

[@carminemiconi892]

Bravi, ma questo approach a due mani non mi piace, ricordo un certo Chris Barnes che aveva un pendolo altissimo e un lancio da paura. Tutto è cambiato dall' avvento di Belmonte, ma io resto fedele al modo di giocare dei vari Parker Bohn III, Norm Duke, Amleto Monacelli, Bob Spaulding, fino a Wes Malott.
