Relationship with MLB Managers

[@dustinh1583]

The skill of remembering personal things people tell you is absolutely super valuable in ANY job and in life in general. It's so rare these days of Instagram and online communication that when you display it even a little bit, it is appreciated by everyone.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks and very true!!! Thanks for watching our vids and commenting!

[@allthatlover]

Can you talk about all of the support workers and the people behind the scenes of the team. I am talking about trainers, doctors, sport psychologist, grounds crew, anyone like that. How did they help you or your relationships with them, to play and improve your game. thanks.

[@sdmomxs3]

As a Rockies fan it makes my heart happy to hear you speak so highly of Buddy! Nice to know he really is as good of a guy as he seems.

[@Phoenix-pm2qr]

He sounds like an amazing coach! As a manager in my office I have the same mindset: make them feel special, know I'm looking out for them, they can talk to me about anything, and that I'm trying to develop them and have them grow - even if it means leaving our department for another role. No need to be authoritative, cold, not communicating well. Be a leader for them, not a "boss"

The best Chanel on KZbin

[@ryanmcdonald209]

Do a vid about your agent and how you got him and what he did for you

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

That is so Buck Showalter at 7:50. There are numerous stories about situational baseball and him teaching like that.

[@williaminus6545]

You're a good guy! Thanks for sharing this.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks!!

[@natanbash8923]

Is it possible to do a video about recognition of pitches out of the hand? Love the videos thanks Matty A

[@TheAhhfen]

Hey, Matt, if it's not too personal, could you do a video on how/if playing in the majors affected your relationship with travel and such? Thanks!

[@eduardonieves3090]

Just spent over 4 hours watching your videos. Was looking for some hitting tips and I saw your videos on questions being asked to you. Every single one was entertaining. Thanks for taking out the time and talking to your fans. Keep the videos coming and hopefully your hitting tips help me out in the field. Good luck

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Hey thanks a bunch!

[@seabrook1976]

Thank you for confirming what I always suspected about Jim Riggleman’s personality. Goes to show why some managers are successful while others just kinda knock around gig to gig.

[@dylanmurray9973]

This is such a great channel! So many things I didn't know lol

[@jeremyanderson9995]

Were you treated any differently by a player because you were competing for the same position?

[@linkzzzzzzzw4srtsgnc]

Thanks for making a video on my suggestion/question!! Keep up the great content :)

[@winstonsmith3070]

Can you do a video on pitchers throwing deliberately at batters. Who decides that...what are the causes...when is the appropriate time, etc. I hear it's "part of the game" but would love to hear how the process develops. Really enjoy you videos.

[@elitekiller5655]

First base tips and other tips you give for a first basemen. Please answer this questions if you don't it's cool!😃

[@Hermanson5454]

Great vid as always!

[@Phoenix-pm2qr]

Everyone loves Tito! Go Cleveland!!

[@raes306]

Do a vid about your experience as a youth player. Were you the top player on most of your teams? Or did you struggle and then blossom later? Thank you!

[@ajdougherty1472]

How does the whole agent situation work? Like, when do you get one, how do you get one etc??

[@ev512]

Love your vids and channel, great info we'd never get to here otherwise. Keep it up a lot of people really dig it :D

[@GregJay]

Why can't I hit anymore, I used to always lead the league in hitting and home runs but now I really have a hard time hitting a ball squarely, What is the best drill or anything that can bring back the magic? Is hitting off of a tee really help at all? Did you ever play against or Meet Miggy Cabrera or face Verlander?

[@markkaplan3040]

Thanks so much for the high qouality vids!

[@braydonmeyers6924]

When you played at 7:05 what time did you have to be at the park by?

[@MattMlcc]

might wanna change that profile picture lmao

[@jake93436]

Ever make a video as to; Why do you see BP bats or even fungos with taped barrels ? Does it effect spin or weight or cosmetic look ??

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I'll make one for you! Thanks for watching!

[@jorgecallico9177]

Yeah Matt would make a good coach. Just as an aside, probably the best manager in the MLB was the late Billy Martin. And although Martin (number 1 on his jersey!) had a reputation both as a boozer and a fighter he also had an uncany understanding of the game. RIGHT AS IT'S HAPPENING. Martin could tell if the centerfielder's shoes weren't laced tight enough. Meanwhile calling a suicide squeeze. Or a double steal. Martin had the best head for baseball of anyone. Including even his own mentor Casey Stengel. The funniest thing Billy Martin ever did was when his base runner Mickey Rivers was ruled out by the second base umpire for not stepping on 2nd base. Martin runs way out on the field and then yells at the ump like he's really angry but instead goes, "I know that Rivers missed second and I'm gonna fine him 500 bucks but we're on national television right now and we both gotta PRETEND that we're having a fight..." That really happened. Martin was not the jerk who people said he was. He was a great guy and baseball hasn't been the same since his untimely pssing.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Hey thanks for sharing!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@tomf5823]

he also destroyed an entire rotation of young A's pitchers

[@johnbrian1046]

Thank you for the video, Matt. Were there any types of injuries that happened more often, depending on position? For example, did any position of your teammates have back injuries more often than others?

[@drumitar]

it seems crazy that the manager wouldnt know who you were, would they rely on the bench coach then to use you sub then ?

[@ajdougherty1472]

Buck is a very quiet guy. I love him! Lol

[@smac4885]

How often did you practice during the season

[@timothyhaynes5282]

What about players having illness doctors care in mlb ??

[@Frankie-Covelli]

Hey Matt, about how many hours a day did u workout and practice, and how many days a week? (High school, college)

[@jasonwatson2316]

So what kinda coach are you? Didn't really say. I'm definitely a players coach. Gotta have fun and teach at the same time I believe or you won't get the best out of your guys.

[@jonathanscherff8109]

jason watson completely agree

[@lazeemexicano]

What it’s like playing with a superstar player. Were they treated different then everyone else?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

In my experience they weren't too much. I'm sure they are in some cases though. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@carlos13224]

Great video!

[@shivampatel1359]

What year did he get drafted again?

[@soxnpats4lyfe]

do you have any of your baseball cards?

[@nowellclay1283]

do you now joey wendle ?

[@BaseballSwagger1000]

You kinda look like Mike Foltynewicz

[@Amoghplays]

Can you make a video explaining why some players ignore the ball after the other team hits a walk off? I don't understand why they do that...

[@felmin809]

That would be a dumb video

[@highlightfilms6551]

You look like Ian Happ from the cubs

[@NobodyUR]

Well the two polar opposites would be players coach like Bud. Terri Franconia. Don't talk to me just do your job Lou Pinella. Lol I could be wrong on sweet Lue but my money is on that type

[@rafaelperez1581]

When did you realize that your career wasn’t going anywhere and how the transition started from player to coaching

[@kcamerak]

Watching this testimony and the differences among managers and how they treated players reminds me of what matters in this life. Love the LORD first. Love each other after that. And the world is a beautiful place.

[@eddya.3776]

The Red Sox did Tito so dirty. They could have just let him go but they couldn't do it they just had to kick him in the ass on his way out, disgusting.

[@chriskozub8012]

Talk about adderall in baseball.

[@andrewr7982]

Did you play with any gay players?

[@Phoenix-pm2qr]

Everything is heard about Washington from you videos makes me dislike them hahaha. Everything about them sounds terrible
