Really he's right. If you can play catcher at the major league level you can probably play first base successfully without a whole lot of adjustment. I've seen yadier Molina move over to first base a few times over his career without issue even though he was certainly a full time catcher

Also, as a Twins fan, Brad Radke deserves a look in an upcoming video. He was an ace-level workhorse who stuck it out with some awful teams (his 20 win season in 1997 accounted for almost a third of the team's wins that year) and pitched hurt in the final two months of his career to get the Twins to another playoff berth.

@outsidethewaxbox Жыл бұрын
@@randallwong7196 I forget exactly what the ailment was that affected him in '06. But yeah the options were for him to 1) pitch in pain or 2) to have surgery and try to come back from it the following season. But he was in his walk year and I think he decided he was done. He kept running himself out there to pitch at his insistence, and Gardy was in the "let the dogs run loose" portion of his managerial career.

as shown in moneyball, the oakland A's were the pariahs at the time due to using the statistics and ideas of Bill james whereas the traditionalists kept believing in the same bs they had been taught by their coaches and trainers and GMs. in the end the oakland A's and the redsox after them proved that math can be frustrating but never wrong

I have a good idea for a video on an unsung player! The Seattle mariners had a shortstop named Brendan Ryan in the early 2010s. Great defense but not great with the bat. I was 14 years old and I watched almost every game of the 2012 summer, and when King Felix threw his perfect game they won 1-0 and the only run to score was Brendan Ryan from 2nd. I believe this could bring up a hypothetical argument that if that was the most important game in Seattle history that Brendan Ryan (commonly forgotten or thought of as very bad) is actually one of the most important players in franchise history.

What the movie left out, is that the A's WERE A GOOD TEAM aside from losing those 3. 30 teams would have killed to have Zito and Hudson in the rotation. They also had Chavez and Tejada on the side of the infield. On another note, as a lifelong Yankee fan, I still think Giambi was safe at the plate. Jeter got that call on his reputation.

I remember in the 80's and 90's the Buffalo Bills games were televised Nationally but blacked out locally because they didn't sell enough tickets. That's punishment to the fans for not buying enough tickets. It's the franchises way of saying if you want this team in your city then support it by going to the game. If not, it might leave the city entirely! Then a broadcast blackout is the least of your concerns. Hard to envision that today but in the 80's and 90's and 2000's for that matter the Bills didn't have Bills Mafia which is without question today the strongest fanbase for any NFL team.
