Bobby Cox himself he thought Gregg only missed two calls. So......? 🤷

This ump is cheeks 😭

Return of the king

I'm very happy to have him back in St Louis. He has always been exciting to watch, and he is definitely a legend.

The catcher has is right leg on line with the center of the plate and is catching balls TO HIS LEFT! He has to shift his stance even further away from the plate and when he stands you see his right foot is barely IF AT ALL in line with the edge of home plate. He's literally standing off the plate and this ump is like... yup seems fine to me. I mean check out 4:47 his glove is about a full GLOVE'S LENGTH off the bag AFTER HE FRAMES IT IN!!!

Hell yea - absolutely been missing your content

Glad to have ur vidoes back, we been staving

Watching games on TV, as a Dodger fan, that ballpark seemed like a giant mausoleum, awful

As far as lifetime hitting records go, I think that Joltin' Joe's record of 52 consecutive games with a hit is followed closely by Ichiro's 262-hit season as most likely never to broken. And I think we tend to forget that his arm was not only strong but accurate. There is a video somewhere on CZcams that shows him walking along in the vicinity of 2nd base, while a row of 4 or 5 baseball bats are standing on end at home plate in the background. As he walks, he is looking at the camera and someone hands him a ball and he turns and throws the ball at the leftmost bat, knocking it down. He turns back to the camera and walks as he gets another ball. One by one, he knocks each bat down in order from left to right, hitting each one so squarely that neither it nor the ricocheting ball comes near the other closely spaced bats. He almost never had an errant throw in a game, either, and this year, at the age of I think 52, when he threw the ceremonial first pitch at the home opener, it was a strike with good movement that was clocked at 94 mph. Anyone who doesn't vote for him on the first ballot is either one of those lame conventionalists who thinks no one should get on their first year of eligibility or that he doesn't conform to the stereotypical standard of a Hall of famer. or he is somebody who doesn't really know baseball.

I could not agree with you more unless you were even more positive in your assessment of Ichiro's worthiness for HoF inclusion. He single-handedly re-ignited my enthusiasm for, and my interest in baseball. It had smoldered for about a decade, but he was the fresh breeze that stirred that ember and fanned it into a furious flame that has remained strong ever since "Ichiro threw something out of Star Wars, and Terence Long was D.O.A. at third!", to quote the late, great Dave Niehaus who preceded him into the Valhalla of baseball in Cooperstown. In one of his earliest games that first year, he did what amounts to stealing all four bases in one plate appearance. He slapped a grounder to the left side that for anyone else I had ever seen play would have been an easy, routine ground out and beat the throw to first clearly. Jaws dropped but there was no review request. Then he stole second. Then he stole third, and as the panic-driven throw eluded the third baseman easily, he got up and sped home safely. One of the reasons he racked up so many hits in such a short time is that he had superlative bat control and could slash a hit to (and through) any spot in the infield that the opposing team left vulnerable. In one of the team's TV ads at the time, keeps adding players to fill the gaps until both the whole bench and the bullpen are on the field. It ends with Ichiro looking at the viewer and quoting Wee Willie Keeler, a player from George Sissler's era who was also known for finding holes in the defense, "Ya gotta hit'em where they ain't!" By the way, Keeler was also a player of slight stature at 5'4" and 140 lbs., but UNlike Ichiro he swung a literally heavy bat that weighed 46 ounces. As and aside, I would like to encourage you, as a professional speaker (which you are by virtue of being a presenter) to clean up your grammar. You said "him and ___ came to an agreement", but I am pretty sure you would never say "Him came to an agreement with ___", because it is the subject of the sentence and must be in the subjective case. This is true of all the members of a compound subject as in "He, she, Ralph, and I all were in agreement with him, her, and Auggie that...". And then there is the failure to use the past participle when using the past perfect tense. You said "he had came" when you should have said "he had COME". It seems to be an increasingly common mistake that people think they should only use past tense form with all of the tenses that deal with something in the past, but that is not the case.

Why weren’t the Braves arguing more? Did Bobby Cox get ejected. I’m surprised they weren’t reacting much worse than shown here.

As a Braves fan, I remember this game well and it was definitely not called fairly. Eric should not have been allowed to work another game, let alone a post season game. Some of those pitches were a foot or more off the plate and Maddux throws a strike and it's a ball? There had to be a financial interest for him somehow.

If I was Cleveland I might consider taking him first overall. They have a ton of young hitting already and their starting pitching is a little shaky.

In his first 9 at bats with the Mariners he had two hits for a .222 batting average. It was the only time in his MLB in which he had a below .300 mark. Then he started to amass hits and the rest is history.

Just so happened that my two favorite teams across all sports, the Braves & the Saints, were shafted big time in the postseason by shotty officiating--egregiously so. Nice video, Gomer!

My fav major league player. Wish he was still a Dodger.

The last pitch to Fred Mcgriff was right down the middle......... Of the batters box

True story I don't follow baseball anymore because they allow umpires like that to ruin the game for me It's just not worth getting emotionally involved in the game to only be cheated by Unqualified umpires🎉

Braves fan aren't you? Let it go.

Marxist Brandon Biden SL supporters bring FUBAR chaos everywhere,including to woke baseball fans and owners

The refball is so bad here that you'd think the Vegas Golden Knights were playing.

is actually pretty insane how much he matured really really cool to see

I live in Kansas watching those great A’s teams playing in a beautiful stadium in the 70’s now is it Billy Bean poor ownership or lack of support from fans . What the hell happened ? Fisher will never win with the A’s he will never put up his own money after all he is a billionaire he wants to spend public money that’s what they do. To whom much is given much is expected. Fisher falls short of that standard. Oakland deserves better!

There doesn’t need to be a grand conspiracy from the top of the league for a game to be rigged. Especially in baseball where the umpire gets to use his subjective “opinion” on any pitch where contact isn’t made. No reasonable human could’ve watched this game and not concluded that Gregg absolutely without a shadow of a doubt decided before the opening pitch that he would do everything in his power to make sure the Marlins won this game. On multiple pitches you can even see him starting his strike punch before the catcher has even closed his mitt. I’m a Yankees fan, so zero love lost for the Braves, but like all normal well adjusted people I have a natural revulsion to blatant fraud and injustice like this. I saw Roy Jones get robbed in Seoul Korea in 1988 when I was 11 years old and remember it being the first time I cried watching sports and asking my father how that could happen. It broke his heart that he had to explain human corruption to me that soon. And nine years later watching this was like a bad flashback. Gregg deserves to be remembered as a shameful, despicable stain on the legacy of baseball. A true villain of sports.

It remains the worst called game in my lifetime and I’m 67 years old. By the second inning it was apparent that Gregg was fixing the game. Total disrespect to the game of baseball, the players and the fans. I’m still disgusted!!!

Prince’s best season is 2009. Then his power decline brutally. In 2011, he hits 38 homers. Then hits just 30 homers in 2012 despite career high batting average of .313. Then he never hits 30 homers again. 2013 he was mediocre but healthy. 2014 a tragic season of surgery. Happily he made a great comeback in 2015. Hit over .300 the second time of his career but only 23 homers. But still happy to see him winning comeback of the year. Then in 2016 he had a career ending injury😢.

Yes and profar OF is crazy underrated, homers all season.

Joey Gallo is absolutely maddening. Very athletic for a huge man, but the rest of baseball caught up to him. Due to his massive uppercut, Pitchers simply threw him average fastballs above the belt, and Gallo couldn’t make contact. He needs to break down his swing completely, much like Matt Carpenter did. His downfall has nothing to do with the Yankees, or “feeling comfortable.” The deep uppercut swing and pull happy approach will have him out of baseball by 2025.

Haha…Benoit totally didn’t throw first pitch changeup to Ortiz. The tigers definitely won the World Series that year. I am not delusional

Ichiro is greatly beloved in Seattle. Ever since Griffey first debuted, the Mariner fanbase really latches on to those one or two super-stars on the team. For a bit over a decade, Ichiro was that super-star. He was what made Mariners games worth coming to for so long even through all the ups and downs of playoff droughts. Even when he went to the Yankees (who were despised in Seattle for many years and even somewhat to this day for the 2000 and 2001 seasons), when he set foot back into Safeco for his first game as a Yankee, everyone cheered for him. It was basically an Ichiro send off celebration. If there is one city 100% convinced he deserves an unanimous hall of fame ballot, it's this one.

Nice family guy reference at the beginning lol

I know I'm late, but he basically had 1 good post season and the dodgers won the whole thing the moment he performed in October

Should of stepped in front of a pitch. .walk it off buttercup

Why they let him put first name on back?nobody else was allowed,lame.

Chinese kids didnt because they dont allow lefties,superstition!he wasnt good in playoffs

This is worse than anything angel Hernandez did

Fisher is a fraud

without a doubt that game was rigged i will never forget that game i watched and my eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing the funny part about it I was just talking about this game with somebody the other day without a doubt Eric gregg got paid for that game I can guarantee you

3:44 since 2005… what happened in 2005… hmmm 🤔 oh yeah, john fisher bought the team! Makes you think don’t it

Soon he will end up in a great team and be a legend ..can't wait to watch him

You understand what MLB means right? Major League Baseball. BS Clickbait title... this was in the minors and Skenes is still in AAA

The Braves won a WS on these calls made for them!!! Stop the crying

I've always said they wanted the stupid expansion team to pull that Cinderella shit and win the world series. It would have been too easy, as loaded as Atlanta was in the 90s to beat them without some help. They got 1 world series in the 90s, and with possibly the greatest pitching rotation in MLB history, it was unfair.

Gregg expanded strike zone from the plate to his arse 😅

Thank you for this, I've heard from so many Marlins fans and contrarians that "well, the Braves got the same calls, that's why it was 2-1" - this puts that garbage to rest 😁 My hunch is that Gregg had some massive gambling debts and he was made an offer he could not refuse, because while he always had a wide and inconsistent zone, this game is still a radical outlier in his career calling games.

If umpires don’t want their authority questioned, I think we should only have 1 per game instead of the 17 refs posted around the field to make calls.

This video needs a pt 2

He’s one of those who you just can’t not root for, I feel for him… in my opinion he’s just in his head too much, it’s almost like you can see his desperation. You said it; with a glove and arm that are always a needed tool in this league, he might actually benefit more from being the veteran who is a clubhouse guy, showing some of the 20 year olds what not to do.
