Honestly, I would love if this channels main focus was the blue jays. Not enough content of this calibre about the jays right now.

[@LLCool254]

Gate 14 podcast is elite

[@grege5074]

maybe its because my youtube algorithm tilts toward Canadian content but there are some good ones out there Gate 14, like LLCool suggested.

[@Fly-The-W]

They def have the talent. Just gotta put it together. Personally id like to see vladdy pop off this year. Its a shame hes only had one great year with what it feels like he could be.

[@jjlansing11]

Good luck with the new channel. Hockey and baseball fan from Nova Scotia here so love the Jays content.

[@justoverthefence2000]

Thanks so much Jeff much appreciated! Jays are my team too so will be covering them lots. Cheers and thank you again

[@carson_rock195]

Already love the baseball content man, keep this up❤

[@Bardownski86]

Same

[@JonnyTGood]

Perfectly summed up bro. Let's hope this is his year.

[@coolguygdgaming5603]

Great video! Hope he bounces back in 2024, if Bichette hits .300 like usual and Vladdy bounces back, hits .300 and hits 35 to 45 home runs we could make a run in the playoffs. Chapman is a big loss fielding-wise but Biggio can play anywhere, so hopefully he and the team pull through.

[@justoverthefence2000]

Cavan was really good and versatile last year you’re right hopefully he can be as effective as last year

[@dalenesbitt]

Biggio is either going to have a great season or a miserable one. He's a great player, but when he's slumping look out.

[@Qmocean]

I expect you'll be the baseball channel I've been looking for, if your hockey channel is any kind of indicator.

[@tylerbellows5358]

Baseball doesnt exist is the best but ill always peep johnnys vids, im subbed

[@justoverthefence2000]

Baseball doesn’t exist is amazing. Thank you Tyler much appreciated bro!!

[@justoverthefence2000]

Wow, thank you Qmocean I won’t let you down. Favorite team? Or do you just follow the sport as a whole

[@Qmocean]

@justoverthefence2000 jays fan since before memory. But probably sometime around 80 or 81 when I was 3 or 4 years old.

[@leafy_paul]

Great hockey channel, and the algorithm finally brought this channel to me! Subbed

[@BFreeGodzilla]

Looking forward to the Baseball content

[@bryanarnold1149]

Excellent and balanced commentary. I’ve subscribed!

[@bigprovos12]

Bro why did this feel like one of his hockey videos? 😂 Love the channel, you honestly got me in to watching hockey in the first place, hope this channel can do well. As for Vlad, Dude has got to cut it on the strikeouts. I don’t know why he’s missing the barrel so much, he barely hits the sweet spot, and he’s bottom half in the league in chase percentage, while being mediocre at making contact with his swings in the zone. Somehow the jays have to improve his hand eye coordination. If they don’t, we could see an even worse year from Vlad from the two prior. According to savant, he was 96th percentile in expected batting average!!! 96!!! This is all while barely scraping an 800 ops. He got lucky and he was still only ok. Hope they can figure him out, this guys one of the best in the business when he’s swinging well, and it would be a treat for every baseball fan to see him hitting 40+ homers at rogers. Go padres!

[@XwafflepenguinX]

His style is top notch!!

[@juliancarpenter9992]

Please keep the vladdy coverage this was an excellent breakdown and I can’t wait to see the other videos

[@justoverthefence2000]

Thank you so much Julian! Means a lot and I really appreciate people like you coming over and taking the time to watch and comment. Thank you seriously

[@bigthiz]

keep the Jays content coming!

[@dylancagle885]

Hey man! Big Braves fan from Georgia here. Would love to hear you cover them!

[@seanprice7645]

if he wasn't being compared to his absolute legend of a Father, more than half of these criticisms wouldn't even exist. it's a gift and a curse being Vlad Jr.

[@raff4laker]

the baseball channel we want, ohh yes man

[@aarushmenon]

This man looked so in shape earlier. Fingers crossed it helps 🤞

[@bigprovos12]

Baseball doesn’t exists video haha

[@leviklynstra8975]

Cant wait to watch this channel, and as a tigers fan this first season without cabrera is gonna feel strange, but im still excited!

[@Kunage7]

Can you make a video on the Diamondbacks?

[@justoverthefence2000]

Corbin Carroll is much fun to watch and Lourdes has good since joining them and that playoff run was absolute vibes. Will do

[@poindextertunes]

His Dad had one of the most violent swings I’ve ever seen. Seems like his son built upon that

[@theheathbros4376]

Let’s go we got a baseball channel! Can I get a pin?

[@KingdomMindedMinistry]

No doubt in my mind that this dude is a super star. No disrespect to Bo, but when Vladdy is right, he’s THE GUY. Had a shaky season, but he’s young and could easily be the best player on most MLB teams as is.

[@Splashartwork]

Vlad is in a make or break year, he’s a superstar and even if he’s not a mvp threat by the end of the season i believe he will start booming again in the next half decade and play some top tier ball

[@josephkrengel]

I called his 2023. I made a bet with a friend of mine in fantasy BB that he wouldn't hit 30HRs or 100RBIs, and got a free draft pick out of it. I don't know why it was a surprise for everyone. If you exclude his 2021 season his average OPS was .793, and 2021 was the *only* season in his career where he showed up to training camp without a spare tire. I'm not writing him off yet, but he's yet to show the mental maturity to perform and make adjustments to his game on a consistent basis; if he did his defense wouldn't have slipped so much last year.

[@OH_MY_DOGGG]

Did you hear him enunciate it like a star wars character? Lol

[@blackmichael4126]

lol... he is a gold glover with elite bat speed and more MLB service at his age than 99.9% of players to ever play in the mlb.... If he is anything - he is a call for patience. lots of great players have up and down years.. look at Acunas stats before his MVP..

[@tylergardner2598]

I was wondering why this voice sounded familiar looked up johnny hawkey and yup 😂

[@royblondin9525]

Just let the kid play! He Is a young man and he and Bo, learn from every at bat, he'll be here and swinging for a world series; wn it counts!😮 ❤

[@luckyducky9669]

good video

[@Sportabling]

You are my inspo!!

[@TheScotian82]

Agreed, Bo's The Guy. Hopefully Vlad can get back to the centerpiece he's supposed to be.

[@Phank]

Vladdy and Bo both struggled. Biggio too, let's not forget. But they all struggled over the same thing. They stopped being themselves. Bo struggled defensively (To put it lightly), when he tried to be like HoF infielders. Last year, he stopped trying to play like them, and played what was natural for him, and he was so much better. Vladdy needs to stop batting the way he's told, and start batting the way he feels right. Stop trying to go for homers, he has the power, it'll come naturally. Swing comfortably, Swing accurately, and everything else will fall in.

[@nskr160]

Here from hockey….any chance of a deep dive video of Jordan Romano?

Vladdy comeback szn otw 🔜

[@harleymanning5213]

Mets video please

[@redrangers12330]

Exactly. So why is he the cover of MLB the Show??

[@kranmaster]

Vlad's a guy who appeared as though he had bullet proof confidence. Judging by his minor league numbers, he never once experienced a real struggle at the plate until he reached the show. My guess would be he never really had to develop coping mechanisms for self-doubt until then. It's been a steep learning curve as a result. He is dynamite when he has his mojo, but it's been MIA for a couple years. We can only hope he finds it again, otherwise the Jays will not be making any deeper runs into the playoffs.

[@Kingdia97]

Arjun nimmala is the future of the blue jays imo.

[@OH_MY_DOGGG]

How does he compare to his father in Montreal?

Cover Mets & Yankees too. They have large fan populations (obviously) that could benefit the channel.

[@justoverthefence2000]

Will do. I also am just fascinated by those two franchises. Do you have a favorite team you’d like to see covered? Or is it one of those two

[@Higgins8]

@@justoverthefence2000 Mets, but I follow New York baseball in general. Yankees have Judge and Soto in the lineup (insane) and the Mets have Diaz back and all the drama with Alonso's contact signing looming. You'll want to catch Diaz's first game back with the trumpets 🎺 blaring. CitiField might be electric for that. It might be a content packed year in NY.

[@40pianos]

The question is not, "what is Vlad Guerrero?", it's "who is Vlad Guerrero?" We know what he's capable of; we don't know if he's able to summon the focus and discipline to be a team leader.

[@bd1zzle]

He can choose to pick between 3 countries for the world classic correct, born Canadian in Canada, has his USA personal stuff updated to be a citizen correct and last the Dominican Republic, native country

[@FabioVROfficial]

Can you cover the off-season of the redsox

[@justoverthefence2000]

The good ol’ bo sox. Will for sure be covering them. Do you think they’ll be really good this year?

[@tylerbellows5358]

@justoverthefence2000 they have the 2nd highest payroll in baseball yet refuse to spend money. The sox are going to finish last in the division and the owners dont care because tourists buy tickets to games (fenway) its a big story

[@FabioVROfficial]

@@justoverthefence2000 they are gonna be the most .500 team i think, but with how good the division is they are going to be last

[@gm2723]

He only has 1 more good year than me

[@King-03530]

the funniest part is vladdy isn’t a home run hitter. if you look at hitting metrics/his swing he’s just not a home run hitter he’s a line driver hitter. His batting average definitely didn’t reflect that but he gets so much slack for not hitting 35+ homers when people think he should but i’d rather see 30 homers and 115 rbi than 35+ homers and 90 rbi

[@Alan-rw3ez]

He flew out one of the most times to centerfield if i remember correctly, he hits like drives to the outfield pretty often that just get caught.

[@poindextertunes]

Theres been a couple hitters like that who bulked up and their line drives turned into HRs

[@1dilligaf]

Let’s just hope his maturity level picks up but from what I’ve seen so far I don’t think that’s happened

[@derosa1989]

yeah, some of the antics got a little tired, when on the field he forgot how to run the bases.

[@Papiro-lo6wp]

[@OTBregularly]

What is he not? Not his dad. His dad could hit a cashew over the wall with a broomstick.

[@davidwhite887]

I feel like Bo’s put in more work and been more focused on winning than Vladdy. Perhaps Vlad’s ceiling is higher than Bo’s, but he’s inconsistent. Bo plays a premium position with a fantastic bat and defense that has only been improving ever since he’s been in the majors. Vlad had a great season in 2021 but has declined ever since (understandably, but I digress). I have a lot more faith in Bo than Vladdy at this point. Prove me wrong tho Vlad.

[@kevinarthur8488]

He’s Josh bell. Take that however you want to. 😂

[@christopherblack4520]

A baby

[@Chim__Richalds]

He's been a clown since day 1. Horsing around instead of being locked in to games. Eating too much and not getting the most out of the huge talent he was given. Not a fan.

[@Zee1949]

Getting too much advice from too many people regarding hitting!

[@dabrownguy7356]

What is Vlad? He is a disappointment so far, with only one season as an outlier he is a barely above average hitter who is overweight. More akin to Cecil Fielder than Miguel Cabrera. He is still “young” so there is time for him to become more than what he has been so far. Only time will tell.

[@rhyscartanhockey4291]

Hey, I’ve been a blue jays fan my entire life and trust me, Vladdy is better than bo. Just bo had a better year, but to say that he is CLEARLY the face of the franchise is just wrong. I was expecting better knowledge from you Johnny. Anyway Vladdy is a superstar player but he hasn’t put in the work the past few seasons and he finally did this year so I’m predicting 50-60 HR season with 110-120 RBI.

[@justoverthefence2000]

Fair enough. That would be a monster year from Vladdy and I’d love to see it especially after the 2023 he had. This year will really be the determining one. Cheers Rhys!

@@billyjoel5325 you watched the jays this year and that’s it. Your not an og

[@spman2099]

@@rhyscartanhockey4291 I'm not actually arguing that Bo is the face of the franchise now. I still believe in Guerrero, and I believe that the stats pretty clearly suggest that he was hitting the ball far better than the results would imply. That being said, Bichette deserves credit for keeping his strengths strong and improving upon his weaknesses. His defense last year wasn't mind-blowing, but it was competent, which is a huge step in the right direction. If Vlad has another rocky season (relative to his potential), and Bo performs once again, I think the argument that Bo is now the face of the franchise will hold water.

[@jo9367]

He's too young to be that heavy and I think he needs to change that cocky attitude be more humbled and concentrate more go Yankees

[@SirLionofBiff]

Answer: out of shape, disinterested, immature, and over-rated.

[@markhancock6694]

So i see Jays fans will have another disappointing year in 2024. Still too much d*cking around and immaturity in the dugout. Flabby is soooo overrated, Bichette can't throw a ball to first base. They lost guys they should have kept (Merrifield). This team will finish 4th, maybe 5th in their division. It was a very weak offseason for Jay's management. Go Red Sox!!
