Man. Stephen. A. will never be able to live this one down. Lol😅
it was a garbage throw
😂 fav part is when Snoop Dogg came on and clowned him.
People are now calling in to roast him on the show.🤣
@@israymervalentin-arias6313let's be fair we seen so much worst .
The rock
John Cena
Conor McGregor
Tom cruise
Kid Rock
There's 100s whom did worst
0
He did the show remotely instead of being in the studio....he still catching shots...let the roasting begin 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 for it
He does sound like he’s in studio, but in another room or a storage closet. 😂
What can go wrong will go wrong. All those excuses are sad. 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is gonna be a meme for the rest of his life
Stephen A is the king of "what can go wrong, will go wrong..." LOL!!!
😂😂😂
yall got here SAS explaining himself like he got in trouble 😂 💀
He was doing alot of talk prior to that 😂😂😂
"you definitely let Will Smith down" 😂😂
What did that mean?
This is indubiously the most despondent I have ever been while witnessing a grown man endeavoring to accomplish the most elementary aspect of a sport I grew up loving. The extent to which my brain threshold has been completely eviscerated is incomprehensible
😂 This comment wins
This is why you have to practice the opening pitch several times on a real baseball field to get used to the distance between the mound and home plate. The ball has to travel in an arch, not a straight line.
He did actually did throw some practice pitches on the side before he went out there.
@@chriskay1449 exxactly he actually PRACTICED and this was his results
@@chriskay1449 No, you gotta be out there on the mound practicing. It's not the same. Stephen A isn't the first celebrity to make this mistake.
There is no field that can correct that stiff horrible mechanics.
You right bro. I coach little league so we get free Rays tickets all the time and I'll tell you that their mound just ain't the same when you actually get on the field. I throw about 85 and even I was intimidated with about 100 people in the stands playing around throwing to my players.
Remember kids, this is the guy critical of others.... there is a reason why he talks about what they do, and they don’t talk about what he does.
Preach
Max would have thrown a 99 mph heater
😂😂😂😂
Max scherzer
Lmfao
😂😂😂😂😂
With movement
Snoop to Molly "can you help Stephen out," "no" she had me rolling with that answer 😂😂😂😂, they should ask Molly to go throw out the first pitch, 👍❤️. Pura Vida
"I was expecting Justin Verlander. He looked more like Justin Zoolander." Lol, great line from SS.
Stephan A first pitch about to be one of the 3 things Mad Dog will be mad about next week 😂😂
☑️
SAS has been allowed to talk so much nonsense about actual athletes and sports that he actually convinced himself he is/was an athlete. Then reality set in
Say it louder for the people in the back
That was an 0-2 slider in the dirt. But no swing. It’s now 1-2 😂
Steven A’s barber choked on his hairline making him look like Pennywise the dancing clown 😂😂
Hahaha. 7 head
Woah an actual original hairline joke
@@MightMouse2174 you like it?
He looked so stiff 😭😭 long ahh legs, “he had a collard shirt on under the Jersey” 😂😂😂
😅
If that was cricket it would have been a perfect ball.
😂😂😂😂
Will be on top 10 lists FOREVER !!!
Lmao Stephen A dropping the ‘13 wild pitches in 2022 that looked like that” stat is hilarious because I truly believe he researched that after 😂
This is why Deion says baseball is hard. Stephen A. think he was kidding? Whether you're throwing, catching or hitting. There are so many aspects to the game that you need to practice from DAY ONE. You really can't just pick it up and nail it right away lol Good luck trying to live this one down.
Yeah, it's hard if you've never thrown a ball before.
Shannon, had me dead
That first pitch is so bad that Gerrit Cole had to go out and put on a show to get the fans’ minds off of it. Can’t wait to see what Chris “Mad Dog” Russo has to say about it! 😂
When the pressure mounted, Stephen A folded like a cheap tent.
Snoop: Molly can you help him?
Molly: *NNNNOPE* 😂
I knew this was going to happen when I saw him through that ball in the studio yesterday.
He’s gonna be like “The throw was fluid” lol
Facts 😂
The “please don’t” was the funniest thing I’ve ever heard Molly say
Just like his
October Choking Yankees 🔥
This is the man who “professionally” rate actual athletes…
Bro got roasted a for a whole segment 🤣🤣🤣
He is getting roasted the entire show.
😂😂 legit, he knew it too. You could see it on his face @ 0:51-52
I know he didn’t research stats to defend himself at the end 😂
The jokes will continue and rightfully so!!😃😅”Everything about it was just wrong?!”😅🤓👏🏻I absolutely noticed the shirt under the shirt too👌🏻🤭
I love how the catcher still framed it as a strike lol
As a Yankee fan, the saddest thing about this is that Stephen A could still be #3 in the rotation. 😆😭
"Ryan, ain't that your man?" Now I gotta claim him 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stiff, can we move a little, Molly had me rolling 😂😂😂😂, 👍❤️. Pura Vida
Molly probably thinks Aaron Judge is a pitcher 😂
The Justin Zoolander comment was epic
Credibility hit the ground like that ball
😂😂😂😂😂😂 this man said i didnt wanna fall
I love Molly's reaction to Snoop's question. LOL.
Bart with the “extra starch!” 😂😂
Best segment of the year
Stephen A Smith is a character this is funnier then the time when he was on video running into the studio cuz he was late
The catcher even framed the pitch for him 😆. This is way better than if he'd thrown a strike. Gotta love him though. He's a good sport.
Look at Bart's ARMS IN THAT SUIT😱😱😱 HE BOUT TO BURST OUT🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
U Guys are the Best😂
Definition of "laughing the pain away"
Stephen A. It’s about the moments😂😂
Stephen A. needed Mel Clark as his angel to help him throw that pitch.
He pulled a BABA BOOEY! 😅
When Shannon came on 😂😂😂 fk it snoop too🤣🤣🤣
Snoop "Molly, can you help him?"
Molly: "Nope"🤣
It Looked Like A Strike To Me 💎👑
Can’t wait for Swagu!!!
That's a good cricket pitch!
man out there playing ping-pong on a baseball field😅
That stiff line threw Ryan Clark off 1:56
Remember he is an athlete and journalist!
Lol the minute i saw that ball bounce before it reached home plate i said oh noooo lol
Can’t wait for mad dog to roast him 😂😂
Bruh should’ve thrown it from the edge of the dirt! 😂
Don't y'all let SAS forget this 😂😂😂
HILARIOUS!
And then the worst thing about it how he was walking out there like he was the man🤣
They had the perfect headline “Pitch Imperfect”
That's what you get when you're born & raised in ny but a steelers fan 😁
He was on the show all week practicing and bragging about throwing the 1st pitch and ended up doing that 😂 he failed his New Yorkers 😂😂😂😂
Lmaooo the collared shirt dig
His pitch was "FLUID" 😂
Dude hates when players make excuses but is making all the excuses for not getting a FIRST PITCH to the plate 😂😂😂 I like him but I also love when a sports critic can’t even do a basic function of the athletes they criticize lol
why be surprised when it's been clear that his. "act" has always been BS.
That would have bounced from a Little League mound
Max Kellerman pitch would've been ⬛er
Your right don’t EVEEEERRRRRRRDR DO THAT AGAIN
That was a cricket 🏏 bolding ball 😂😂 nicely down the middle stump
Stephen A would strikeout early 00s Barry Bonds with that pitch.
Stephen A is a GOAT pitcher.
Casual alert ⚠️ 📢
Stevan A is a racist pig
He wouldn’t strikeout Ruben sierra with that pitch
he throw like a little kid. 😂
I'm so dead😂😂😂 Molly looks so disrespected 🤣
He threw a sinker 😂
Imagine this guy called kwame brown a scrub lol. Congrats stevie
You reaching. A 55 year old man who never played baseball threw a bad pitch. It's ain't that serious. Kwame was in his prime and sucked. You don't have to be a professional chef to know bad food when you taste it.
Kwame is a bonafide scrub. At least by NBA standards.
Ryan speaking facts
I dont think ive laughed as hard as when the dude said “you gotta apologize to black america” LOL
RC last statement was kiling me dawg. now i gootta claim it just killed me bruh
Yoo shannon sharpe got me cryin🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ngl a button up is wild😂😂, i know he had a shirt under that button up
Stephen A you weren't throwing no strikes before 😂. From that throwing style you have never thrown a ball in your life. After that and watching you hit a punching bag, literally not an athletic bone in that dudes body 😂.
Exactly!
That pitch was so horrendous Bart couldn’t even say anything during that whole segment 🤣🤣
Man was so disappointed and in disbelief lmao
Next week we already know what Mad Dog is going to be “Mad about”
What can go wrong… did go wrong 🤣🤣🤣
The ending.. lol
Bro really fumbled LMFAOOOOO
Can’t wait for Wednesday to hear Doggy talk about it lol
Pretty sure they will have video from him before the show ends today.
Snoop said “that looked like a bounce pass in basketball” lol
Shout-out to snoop with the fc koln jersey! Also, why does shannon sound like bill cosby? Lol.
At 2:35, he walked with so much swagger.
The only time ESPN covers baseball..
Hockey , Baseball , track ,NASCAR doesn't stand a chance.
No excuses for SAS his mechanics do suck lol but it’s different on the mound. People dont realize how raised the mound is and with your momentum taking you downward at the release point results in a scud. Couple that with his overhand throw, it was a recipe for making him a forever meme 😂
it was a knuckle ball from a knucklehead
Bro said collar shirt under his jersey !!!!!
We have been hoodwinked, bamboozled, lead astray, run amok and flat out deceived by that 1st pitch
