[@stapleboss]

I watched Clemens pitch a rehab start at a AA park sitting right behind the catcher. I could feel the power of the pitches and it was awesome. Never forget it.

[@512metro]

Anybody else have "The Rocket" poster as a kid, with him on the mound and the baseball rocket is in his hand?

[@w3t_willy]

I watched Roger give up 8 in the second inning against the white Sox in NY and then the Yankees scored 8 in the bottom of the 2nd. one of my favorite memories, being able to see the legend himself, even tho it was a rough outing. I also saw MJ miss a game winning shot in Atlanta when i was 9 and it devastated me so maybe im just cursed but still fun memories nonetheless

[@Conada1002]

Roger is the greatest pitcher I’ve ever laid eyes on. Great pitcher, good polish on stuff and a good delivery. But more than anything, guy was a bulldog. A competitor. That’s why he’s the best.

[@drums4metal]

Roger's split and Pedro's changeup are 2 of the nastiest pitches ever.

[@psychobilly09]

And marianos cutter

[@NotBrutality-101]

YES! ROCKET! This man is the reason my father and I hustled to Fenway whenever we could. I was there the first time he came back with the J’s too.

[@fenwayandwrigley]

My idol as a young teenager. Despite all the controversy. There really was something special seeing him pitch both live and on TV. I also understand why some people just can't stand the guy. It is ok to value both positions on the man.

[@dr.furrytoe443]

More than any player this guy was THE MAN! Roids or no… this man is a Legend

[@berniestewart1738]

He’s right about the catcher being a bit uncomfortable. I have caught a couple guys that had a split and it’s like a two seam and circle change had a kid out of wedlock.

[@lordcranio3032]

Wow. You are there, dude. You have made it to the top. Congratulations

[@grokeffer6226]

Interesting stuff!! ⚾⚾⚾👍👍👍

[@BlackstoneBrandon]

Is the full interview on the way?? I’d love to see it

[@PitchingNinjaVideos]

Links to the full podcast are in the description!

[@javybeaz3236]

My top pitchers I copied was Pedro and Clemens when I pitched many years ago

[@pranavarora9976]

Should have asked him a question or two about Mindy McCready too

[@Th3DarkCanuck]

Thanks for the video. I grew up watching Roger Clemens and was able to see him in 94 at Fenway. He's a special kind of guy that only comes around once a few decades.

[@TheAnimalWolverine]

He should’ve been in the hof tbh

[@caffynated552]

@@TheAnimalWolverine They accused him of using PEDs, and he denied it. Then they charged him with 6 felony counts of perjury for denying it, but in a setting where they had to show evidence instead of just slinging accusations, they had nothing. The only piece of evidence they had was a needle that was in the custody of Mcnamee for years, who admitted he changed his story (AKA he lied) over the years, which destroyed the case against Clemens. It's absurd that Clemens isn't in the HOF after they repeatedly failed to show any compelling evidence he cheated. One of the legends of the game has had his reputation ruined on nothing more than the word of a man who has admitted to lying about it.

[@richardlesperance8259]

God bless Roger!!!

[@Based_Proletariat]

Like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens was a hall of famer before the P.E.D. accusations.

[@tspring12]

Doesn't matter. The hall of fame isn't just about statistics. It's about representing the game in an honorable way. Both those guys cheated knowingly and are thus mortally undeserving of the HOF nod.

[@CCDaDon15]

@@tspring12 it should just be about representing the history of the league period. The good and the bad. What you’re describing is a hall of dishonesty.

[@C0D3R33D]

In an era where they didn’t give a shit until it was over. I call bs. 2 of the best players at their positions ever.

[@C0D3R33D]

@@CCDaDon15it’s 100 percent about statistics!

[@branden3785]

@@tspring12 Couldn't agree more. I'll never understand the apologists. Why even have rules? All you doing is saying, "do whatever you want to get an advantage, you'll get rewarded either way, it doesn't matter." There has to be some consequence. That's not even bringing up the kind of example this creates for young impressionable minds.

[@Deep.Purple]

Love Roger... I hit many a car door practicing in our alley as a kid trying to be like him... :)

[@mellowords]

Somehow seeing the Pitching Ninja's face really makes everything make sense. He sounds a little dorky, definitely knows his stuff... But he's actually a stout athletic dude, clearly has actual field experience. I'd just assumed he was an analytics dweeb with no play time, not that it matters, his analysis is top notch!

[@bezosmistress1168]

Hes a full blown lawyer

[@blankname6629]

This pitch I believe prolonged the rockets career

[@johnfoster2584]

Definitely a science to pitching!

[@CountryWilly]

Off the subject like your hat Roger my favourite pitcher

[@EthnHayabusa]

Have him show the grip that Dave Stewart had on him.

[@iTz_Plewtoe]

I think they get the mud now somewhere in PA? My buddy sent me a video of it, however I’m not 100% certain it’s from PA

[@joeblowmha]

savannah banana legend

[@davidperez909]

That's awesome.

[@thebiglebowski8468]

Roger Clemens. You were awesome, but your best years were in Toronto (according to a Canadian)

[@Myque1981]

Very cool

[@xOneTrackMind]

rocket is the man

[@TAYLORFAN50]

He's a cheater, enough said. He can join Bonds, McGuire, A-Rod and Sosa in The Hall Of Shame.

[@johnellwoodtaylor4769]

Mike Scott, anyone?

[@oldwhitebitch568]

Now I think it is fairly well known that Scotty also scuffed the ball … *rumor* has it, and the source was another MLB pitcher, that Greg Maddux did also … infrequently on pitches to lefties, but regardless … very few can make the ball move like those two did (with or without an abrasion in the ball!)

[@snappyone]

Roger seems more chill and calmer now, maybe from not using the roids

[@petepax]

This was great but I was hopeing for glasnow/darvish KS for tm

[@nathanback8416]

How’s the HOF treating you, Roger? I “misremember”

[@FTLnovaKid]

🔥🔥

[@donhopf]

He sure used it to bean anyone who could hit this pitch. Ask Mike Piazza.

[@Code4King]

Stupid comment. He hit Piazza with a fastball, not a splitter.

[@donhopf]

@@Code4King oh, my mistake. That makes it less cowardly.😂

[@MuayThaiMiko]

I bet his wasn’t expecting 8.7K views in 3days when he paid Clemens whatever he did to do this bit

[@daves9355]

Hall Of Fame...NOW!!

[@seanwebb605]

Nope.

[@CADClicker]

Really cool insight. Steroids aside this guy is an encyclopedia of pitching knowledge

[@nothingspecial909]

This dude was my hero! Fuck the haters!

[@TiagoGomez-hb9te]

Why do you like Roger Clemens?

[@Beethovenviolin]

Really wish he never used

[@LatrellSprewell15]

I hate the Red Sox but this man not being in the HOF is disgusting

[@chrisschaeffer9661]

Roid Rage Roger

[@chrisschaeffer9661]

If I want to know how to Roid myself out of the HOF. Ill ask Roger

[@3roxxxy]

HOF cannot make you pin point a spilt finger fastball

[@svtinker]

Cheater!!!

[@BlazingShackles]

Roids

[@nstycrv]

fyi steroids helps splitters too 😮

[@nstycrv]

@@onenightinbangkok7626my point was Clem took Roids AND HGH 🤦 NOBODY all of a sudden throws 5mph harder after age 37 ... sorry 🤷

[@oswald4671]

Ask him if the roid rage was responsible for throwing the bat back at Piazza 😅

[@seanwebb605]

Show us the juice. Show us how you injected.

[@3roxxxy]

If you crowd the plate, he'll trim your nose hairs with a 98 mph fastball.

[@seanwebb605]

@@3roxxxy Show us the injection cites.

[@Chance-ry1hq]

Well the first thing ya do is 💉💊 Then you 💪🏼 Then you✌🏼⚾️

[@zachansen8293]

Is that the grip he split his steroids with? That's the only thing I remember about this guy. I hope the astros are kept out of the hall just like this guy is.

[@johncipolla8335]

I miss watching you pitch.
