You should make some vids with yougoprobaseball! I know you guys were teammates so it would be really cool

[@YouGoPro]

UA20YANKEE S that would be really cool! I talked about it today in my Instagram Live! Thumbs up UA20YANKEES comment if you think Matt and I should collab!

[@DallasWicklander]

YouGoPro yes

[@AntonelliBaseball]

We were trying to put something together! Eventually we will!

[@connorrafferty309]

I really appreciate all these videos. They are really cool and it makes me feel like I can imagine being part of an organization.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks so much! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@rla1000]

Great vid, Matt, hadn't watched this one before (you have so many). You really give a good feel for the game and all its nuances. Love the Yankees shaving story, you've told that one before, funny as hell.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks!!! I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!!

[@matthewayze1969]

Just wanted to say thanks for these videos. They really show some things I never thought about in a sport I love.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

No problem and thanks for watching!!!

[@woodwwad]

Another interesting video, Antonelli.

[@luckyguy3341]

I would like to hear more of the details of going to another team, such as, do you drive to your new team, fly and if so what airline. Who sets you up, secretary, asst gm, who? Do you have to pay out of your pocket for anything? Once you get there where do you stay? I'd like to hear more "inside baseball" Thanks, enjoy your videos.

[@cartermcfarland5566]

Thanks for another awesome video. Can you make a video about what it’s like to DH over the course of a game? Like what they do between at-bats to stay ready

[@AntonelliBaseball]

No problem! Sure thing will do!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@ardentfilmgeek4690]

My question for you Matt is what are the disadvantages of each batting stance (hitting left, right, and switch hitter) thanks for the video Boss Man

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I'll make a video for you and answer! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@79lammy]

How do guys get around a long road trips? Like, you want to go out and grab a beer, but depending where you are celebrity could be an issue. Do guys just grab a cab? Uber? Have someone follow them around with their cars?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Back when I played they would get a driver. Uber wasn't around then. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@TylerBoronski]

Can you do a video about facing your former team? What it’s like to return to one of your former home ballparks as a visiting player?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Sure thing good question!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Arientis]

That story with the yankees coach telling you to shave your eff’in face is hilarious 😂

[@jeffm.6034]

Were you ever in a video game? If so did you have to do anything for it? Thank you for the videos!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Yes I was in MLB the Show. We had to get our faces analyzed by this machine for the game. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@marcosg4]

Antonelli Baseball what year??

[@griffinwicklund5404]

Great videos!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@joshualee1367]

Was just wondering what would it be like to be traded to the team you are in a series against. Like if your a red sox playing a 4 game series against the Yankees and before game 3 you are traded to the Yankees. How does that work?

[@progressivegenius4420]

Did you train during the off-season

[@BroImMcLovin]

What is it like being away from your family so much during a Baseball season? And how is the off season spent? Is it mostly with family, or conditioning/training for the upcoming season? 2 separate questions here.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks! I'll make a video for you on that could take a while to type. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@thenukeman3657]

Is there minor league spring training?

[@adamlipps8821]

Yeah there are two separate spring trainings one for the MLB and minor leagues

[@thenukeman3657]

ALippsie 27 Ok thanks

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Yes there is usually for about 3-4 weeks. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@griffinwicklund5404]

What are your favorite major league ballparks you played in?

[@griffinwicklund5404]

Ik

[@griffinwicklund5404]

Ok

[@jamesgallagher8814]

What’s a future consideration?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Good question! I believe there is a list of a few players that you can make a decision on down the line. Not sure the amount of guys or timeline, but I believe it's something like that! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@PacMaster]

I hope Mookie Betts finds this video. Lol

[@nowellclay1283]

you guys also should do videos with dirk

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I haven't seen Dirk in a while, but if I ever do I"ll be sure to do one! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@gkarjala]

Three of the best Yankee's ever came through Clippers. at the same time.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

That is pretty crazy! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@matthewfick2867]

How do I get one of those hats bud.?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

We sell them on our website. Although I'm currently sold out of white ones. Thanks for watching!

[@HockeyDadRinkTours]

When you get traded so suddenly, how do you handle your affairs such as a car you own or a place you are renting. You have to pick up and go so does all your stuff just stay there and you continue to pay rent for a place you don’t live in for a while?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Yes sometimes you do. Try to work out short term deals or was to get out, but isn’t always possible. Thanks for watching!

[@maxbeast6788]

Were you mad to be traded to the Yankees being a Red Sox fan?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

No not at all!

[@79lammy]

Are there teams that guys don't want to play for?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I think there are but it depends on the player. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@nowellclay1283]

did you have any teammate bonding like you were doing well and the friendship was clicking

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Yeah I think that happened a lot over my career. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@nowellclay1283]

in spring training whats it like getting the high numbers like 84 and it has no name do you keep it or is it for when you get sent down or what

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Awesome question! I'll make a video! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@shawnmsattler2116]

did you know John madden

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Yes I do...played with him for a few years. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@johnk3734]

It’s very nice to meet you... I’m going to go shave my F!ckn face! Ahahahaha

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Haha yup! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@johnk3734]

Antonelli Baseball hell yeah I remember the days of Yordany Ramerez and yourself along with Chase Headley and a hard throwing pitcher named Jarod Wells. You should make a video about hardest pitchers you played with and or saw

[@YouGoPro]

[@j_welsh2039]

YouGoPro nope look up😂

[@YouGoPro]

UA20YANKEE S dang I’m too slow 🤣

[@YouGoPro]

UA20YANKEE S TRUE! 👊😉 My man!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

[@oldcop18]
