Breakout or Fakeout (with Foolish Baseball & Jolly Olive)

Bailey towering over Jake and Jolly AS HE SHOULD

[@floridaman6281]

Praise our overlord Bailey!

[@orangepiratebear]

The guy played for the Braves. People forget that he's not only a youtube video essayist, he's an athlete.

[@swirlingtoilets]

He knows ball. These other bums clearly don't know ball.

[@briang2472]

All hail Your Grace

[@Keeks07]

love to see joyful mango and oafsome sportsgame in one video

[@mopeperslothsky8563]

Might be the funniest comment I’ve ever read

[@Justinmikehunt]

Did you google foolish synonyms? Or was Oafsome on your list of words to use today? Haha

[@nbeutler1134]

@@Justinmikehunt I mean if I was even aware that the word “oafsome” existed, I’d use it whenever the opportunity arises

Lovely to see that "Happy Grape" and "Silly Cricket" have reconciled their differences enough to be on the same show together.

[@asdfaeou]

"This isn't live....or television" was delivered so perfectly.

[@maldon_]

always love a nice discussion with Halfwitted Sports-orb & Lighthearted Fruit

Need a Jomboy and Jon Bois collab next

Foolish Wake n Grape? Neat

This is the Kendrick vs Drake for people who have to explain what WAR is to their family

[@nickkowal619]

I love Foolish and Jolly....but BBD is still GOATed

[@yetigonecrazy]

Absolutely love when Foolish comes on! Such great content, especially with the add of Jolly!!

[@Pwnzistor]

I LOVE Foolishbaseball! Thanks for having him on. Bailey is a GOAT

[@TheHankinswill]

Very cool to see a new video on what I can only assume is Bailey’s main KZbin page

[@grahamkawula1831]

I love the foolish collabs

[@westbronco9066]

Can this be a recurring thing please? These 4 together work so well, I need more

[@d0dgecity]

Keaton Winn just moved into my apartment building last weekend. Thairo Estrada lives here during the season too. It's nothing fancy but literally a block from Oracle Park.

[@d0dgecity]

And for all the people asking, (crickets) I'm a Brotani for life.

[@benjaminappel2939]

On the Jordan Westburg talk, his approach really changes when he has 2 strikes going from a power swing to a contact approach just trying to find grass which explains the huge disparity from his whiff% and k%

[@DannyPerez-jn9ep]

Need more Foolish Olive

[@mnguyen313]

I’m not seeing Harrison’s 4/26 vs. PIT start as being a stressful outing, considering he had a WHIP of 0.83 - no walks and 5 hits with 7 K’s. Never had a runner on third with fewer than two outs and went 0-4 with RISP. Went 6.0IP with 93 pitches. The only thing stressful about it was the score was 0-0 for his entire outing. He toed off against a fabulous pitcher for PIT, Quinn Prester, who went one for one against him. The ugly is exactly what Bailey said - a lack of a true secondary weakens his fastball effectiveness. He hides the ball well against RHB but can get knocked around by LHB. His current trend seems to be ditching the slurve against RHB and using a changeup instead. But against LHB it’s still just 4SFB and slurve. Bullish on the changeup development since his best friend is Logan Webb.

[@jondough3739]

Agree. That was a solid start, and I think they’re nitpicking. He’s so young, a couple years of experimenting with his secondaries and some more experience I think he’s still going to be above average at worst.

[@AldoDaApache]

Great Giants pod boys.

[@DammSheFine]

Best episode yet! Good stuff guys

[@juangoato]

Jolly mentioning being burned by Angels players and you can see the Andrelton Simmons flaming in Bailey’s eyes

[@aaronchapman3]

More of this, please

[@Brian-nw2bn]

I need a Ranger Suarez breakdown Jake!!! Cmon boys come thru!

The foolish and Bailey collab is finally here 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@clarec5447]

COLLAB OF THE YEAR

[@martinbarry1504]

Big fan of these collabs. I always tune in

[@joshuameyer1382]

Happy to see Jolly giving Masyn Winn love on the national level. He's the most exciting player on the Cardinals 40 man and will continue to blossom into an all star caliber player

[@TheTEN24]

This is the elite trio right here would love to hear more of it. jolly ain’t wrong the Mets are gonna be so middle of the pack gotta watch more ball around the league or do other things with our time.

[@JohnBtons]

Everyone forgets that Mr workhorse himself, Nolan Ryan, Started in the bullpen for 3 years before he was a starter... Something to be said about the Jordan Hicks argument that Jake made to start in the pen???

[@RottenPretzel42]

It's crazy how many views Bailey gets on this channel. These video's are the best though! Bailey > Jolly all day everyday!

[@jamesweldon8118]

Foolish is goated

[@Caleb-co2hx]

As someone who watches a lot of cub games I think Busch may actually be a plus at 1B I’ve seen a few nice plays made and can’t really think of errors that he’s made there

[@Dead_Medic]

As far as busch goes defensively, hes got some misscues making normal 1st baseman plays, but hes made some amazing diving stops that look more like 3rd baseman plays that it evens out.

[@SeeiingStars]

MY FAVORITE EPISODE

[@Thedownboysfan]

Foolish was just brutal! 😅

[@davidsorensen2116]

Silly Softball sure got the best of Chipper Avocado in this one. One knows ball, the other only oblong fruits. Baseballs are spherical, not oblong.

[@marcosmendoza6932]

Pfaadt is here! He has developed his fastball into a better pitch. Inches of drop on the fastball this year 17.4 last year 15.9, and he added a little bit more spin 2509 this year to 2469 last year and he’s throwing it a lot less 45% last year, 33% this year. It’s still getting hit hard but his fastball has a 39.4 GB%. He’s also in the 90% percentile of BB%, 31% CSW in April. His fastball was absolutely horrendous last year but signs point to a new and improved Brandon Pfaadt. He also has a 3.11 xERA!

Foolish with a Das Rasict(Heems) reference!?

[@AnnPorkins]

Kyle Harrison was asked by Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow if he ever experimented with different fastball grips. Kyle laughed and said no. Apparently he’s thrown the same fastball from the same arm slot since he was a kid. Harrison’s made the Majors on his four seamer alone, and he’s been able to find some success in 2024 with the fastball a little less electric. His minor league development was slowed by allowing a ton of walks, but he’s allowed very few walks in 2024. If he can keep his walks to reasonable totals, his fastball probably doesn’t need to be as elite. If he has the control to keep walks reasonable, his fastball recovers some movement, and his change up (which he learned directly from Webb and basically started throwing this spring), then Harrison could be a stone’s throw away from a breakout.

[@mnguyen313]

You’re definitely watching his starts, this is real ball-knower stuff. Best BB% on the Giants this year, 8th best in MLB. And the changeup is the new pitch on the clock, appeared against RHB last year and is getting worked in more. Currently not too good a pitch but improving, and certainly more promising than that slurve he had in 2023. His start against PIT was the best I’ve seen it. Lots of groundballs and only one hit.

[@poppunknerd182]

This is my Avengers.

[@MattD1234]

If this convo happens in a month, we'll be talking about Andy Pages

[@mnguyen313]

21:37 Jolly he’s induced the 5th most groundballs in MLB. Quality of contact against him is 95th percentile, and he’s 3rd best on limiting linedrives, at just 63% of MLB average.

[@Bhubnipz]

Good show

Palacios striking out +15% this bl season, thoughts?

[@ben2972]

I feel like I’m watching the baseball beef version of Drake and Kendrick 😅❤️

[@devinasperger2805]

wake up, fellow baseball nerds! this is our Drake vs. Kendrick (jolly is drake, foolish is Kendrick)

[@AnnPorkins]

Of course Bailey lusts over Keaton Winn. I wouldn’t be surprised if Harrison and Hicks continue to perform well and are both outperformed by Winn when the year’s done. We might look back on Winn’s 2024 like we did for Logan Webb in 2021. “Whoa, this guy isn’t just good, he’s All Star good, huh?”

[@37willdog]

Report card after three months: Detmers: 👎 Harrison: neutral Hicks: neutral Palacios: 👍 Winn: 👍 Busch: 👍 Kwan: 👍 Westburg: 👍 Bailey: neutral

absolutely floored bailey said my bday at the end. he just threw a random date out

[@jondough3739]

Harrison is 22 years old, he’s going to be more than fine. Jake judging off one start and Bailey is nitpicking.

[@rapalbumdepot7648]

Since when are we letting indoor kids talk ball ???? Can we at least get the kid a tall can and a heater !?

In my opinion which I know wasn’t asked for lmao please do foolish baseball better on the thumbnails, missing views cause of it. Just edit him a lil better
