And honestly, if you think about it.. Even though you had a short MLB career, you were good enough to play in the same league as Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, etc.. So you didn't have a Hall of Fame career, your name will always be in the books.. You were drafted first round and called up to the show for a reason.. You got to do something all of us can only dream of..

[@ajzepp8976]

Well said, Frank

[@PBL19999]

Agree! I can only dream to have been good enough to overthrow the catcher in an MLB game.

[@cadenr06]

Drafted 51 rounds higher than Piazza

[@NicholasLashway]

Can you comfort me tomorrow night if the Nationals lose lol

[@davidkast3587]

I don't care if you play one week in the MLB. If you put on a uniform and took the field then you did something extremely impressive.

[@dannydubya9410]

I respect anybody who is humble enough to watch, rewind, and analyze an embarrassment in front of thousands of people. You are a good guy Matt!

[@megapyukumuku4185]

Hey Matt, just wanted to thank you for this throw. The Brewers went on to win this game 1-0 thanks to your throw, and then made the playoffs that year for the first time in my life by a single game. I also somehow managed to tear a muscle in my shoulder celebrating after game 162 that year, so you're partially responsible for that too.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks!!

[@mpa1931]

Matt this is why you have the best channel on YT! You don't see pro players in any sport breaking down their games like this. Hope you start a series with vids like this if you have more games to show us.

Didn’t Kendall play around then too?

[@barrybambmessagedeletedbyy7467]

Giles never had the power in San Diego. He did develop into a great lead off guy getting multiple walks per game.

[@zdrizzle9136]

Great Video Matt. I hope I can watch highlights of myself in the MLB in the future

[@Jeff-bb3ur]

A lot of people only highlight successes. Talking warts and all, is an honest man’s approach. Although not the hall of fame career that we all dream about as kids, you lived the dream and made it to THE SHOW.

[@packermcjabroni3282]

".083 -- I was raking at this point" lmfao I love you, Matt.

[@nickp3173]

It's amazing seeing you analyze your short stint in the majors and describing it. Goes to show how much of a journey it is to even get there, let alone flourish. Love your humility. Most people don't know the extreme difficulty it takes to make it to the show in the first place. They're all just "experts" because they listen to sports radio.

[@ajzepp8976]

Matt: I really respect you for sharing this video. It's pretty obvious that it stirs up a lot of different emotions, frustrations, and thoughts, so the fact that you shared it and talked about it is very cool.

[@nhlmori80]

Thanks for the Shout out last video Matt! If you Ever come to Portugal, I can show you things around here (well, in the north mostly) and show you my awful mechanics that Will make you miss kyle and Richie 🤣

[@EHMSL1226]

This is hilarious but all I can think of watching is how cool it is that you were in there with the big boys in the show! That is something else being able to play with and against some of the hugest stars in the game on the biggest stage. I'm glad you didn't rake and can make youtube vids for thousands of us to enjoy now lol

[@turbodrawspeed]

From a life-long Brewer fan in Arizona, I love how you take little digs at yourself. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@TrippyCommentaries]

Amazing commentary Matt 😂👍💪

[@lilwedge9]

I'm sorry for having you bring this up. I was the Brewer fan who asked about your most memorable/embarrassing moment in Milwaukee. I appreciate what you do and still say you're one of my favorite players just because of your interaction. It is kinda weird saying that as someone who's only 4 years younger but absolutely respect you being called up and living every kids dream.

[@imacop33]

Love your humbleness and self deprecation. It’s what makes your videos better than the rest. Keep it up Matt!

[@Shagfoot]

The commentary is gold here. Matt is really hard on himself. Sign of a true competitor.

Haven’t commented in any of your videos, Mr. Antonelli you’re a real one man. Got respect for you and I love how you talk about the game. And especially teaching through your failures and experience with the game, leading by example. Salutes

Exactly. This kind of mindset has to constantly be at work, specifically in baseball, which is no small task. It's incredibly hard to have a short memory when you're a competitive athlete.

[@grooroot9790]

I love your videos because of the humility you show. I’ve played softball with guys who didn’t accomplish 1/100 of what you have and you’d think they’re in the HoF. Keep up the great work.

Way late to this but never knew you were a part of one of my favorite Padres teams. Giles and Peavy were two of my favorite players to watch, Jason Kendall too for that matter back when he was on the Pirates with Giles so it was cool to see his cameo.

[@aserraj]

You played in the effing major leagues.

From the standpoint of taking the throw from a catcher on a steal attempt, how noticeable was the improvement in the throws as you progressed up each level? In both strength and accuracy.

[@markc13579]

jmo - If I'm correct isn't the shortstop the captain of the infielder and tells who should be catching pop ups? Also as a rookie I would suspect a veteran player would take charge and try to get any ball that is close to a rookie?
