I agree! This video has amazing research, visuals and a perfect amount of nostalgic baseball names. Your channel seems to be one adjustment away from some all-star level performance 🙂

@@tomreha-sports7053 It's too much info. You need to summarize some of those stats. Keep it simple. Use OPS, WAR, and such. Stats that combine many other stats.

[@AdrianRocha1481]

I was at that gme and i can definitely say the mood in the stadium got incredibly tense. Man should not have double clutched at ALL

[@GamingGalore64]

Solid video, but the monotonous sound of your voice, and the music loop repeating over and over makes it a bit hard to get through. Other than that I think the format is great, and you've got a lotta great info packed into this video!

[@tomreha-sports7053]

Thanks for watching and the feedback !

[@tjstreamer5982]

33 HR's and 67 RBI's, i thought that must've been a mistake but it's true, seems almost impossible, just looked it up and that's the 3rd worst RBI to HR ratio in MLB history

[@garygood6804]

Can't get rbi when your team sucks ass.

[@ellandecampbell6279]

That's why RBI's are overrated. No matter what a hitter does, they won't have a high RBI total if the hitters in front of them don't get on base. The year Barry Bonds hit 73 home runs, he had "only" 137 RBI's

[@jefflewis4]

Ramirez batted leadoff most of the year, that's why his RBI totals were so low for that season. 22 of Ramirez's 33 homers came with no-one on base, 10 of his homers came in the 1st inning. If Ramirez had batted in the middle of the order he very likely would have had between 80 and 110 RBI's with those 33 HR's.

[@nolanfranze342]

I’m convinced if Hanley didn’t break his ribs in Game 1 of the 2013 NLCS the Dodgers would have won the WS. He was absolutely raking and was so clutch.

[@tomreha-sports7053]

Thank you; I got a lot more coming !!

[@YaowBucketHEAD]

I like his deadpan delivery. Reminds me of Kenny Mayne. Still, maybe cut the videos down a bit? Maybe don't read out his stat line every year. Just throw it up and we can pause if neccessary. I'm also surprised that Hanley lasted as long as he did. Great talent, but he seemed to "hate" the game at times.

[@nathanielt641]

he seems like a really good post season player, but overall he’s a solid player and very productive in his prime. sucks he was with the Marlins tho imo

[@doesnotexist305]

Hanley’s early years in Florida were the most exciting years that nobody watched. I’m a Marlins fan and I watched every game on TV but my God was the stadium always empty. I remember how they used to give tickets out for free in schools, doctor’s offices, car dealerships… if you paid for a Marlins ticket it’s because you wanted to because they were given away all over town and still nobody wanted them. I didn’t care, I fell in love with baseball because of that 2008 Marlins team.

[@sandman4115]

If you were to tell me on the morning of May 1, 2018, that the Red Sox would release Hanley Ramirez on May 30 of that year, I would of think you are high off your ass. As of may 1st, he was hitting .330. Are you kidding me?! Now thats a downfall.

Errors don’t necessarily indicate how bad a player is defensively, try to focus on advanced metrics like defensive runs saved (DRS) and outs above average (OAA); in this instance though Ramirez was both terrible based off his advanced metrics and he made a boat load of errors 😂

[@lordfarquaad5990]

Kinda of gleyber Torres.

[@jamesmckeon9139]

Def was running dope in Lawrence

[@Publiclighthouse]

A 6 year-$70M contract for an offensive-minded shortstop in his prime? Today, that would be dirt cheap. Good content, but you didn’t even mention how he was a WS champion at a very young career. Winning is what precipitated the fire sale, trading star players to a Boston and being the face of the franchise.

[@antonioprensa2964]

He sacrificed HR for average and then couldn’t hit enough hrs to be a DH or IB and could not hit consistently to be an everyday player.

[@xxxYYZxxx]

The Dodgers 46-10 run during the 2013 season was the beginning of 8 consecutive NL West titles, culminating in the 2020 World Series Championship. The Dodgers franchise was completely rebuilt between 2013 - 2020, and in 2021 they're poised for even better results over the next 8 years.
