I’m a mets fan but I love these. Every team should make them
Sean O'Donnell same
Same
lgm
they should do some for the old school games too
IKR
I understand why he was sent down but I miss him. I forgot how funny this guy is. “The sexiest national anthem you’ve ever seen.” 😂
IKR. But it seems like they did something to his swing. It changed from the prior year and it hurt his hitting pretty bad.
These breakdown videos are amazing - the best content and storytelling. Kudos to those of you putting these together!
Greg Hughes the person in charge of the channel just came in and talked to my sports marketing class! Great woman.
I called it I swear I am like “how cool would that be if he hit a lead off home run on the first pitch”
Grant Weilandt same
I think we all did. It was like, collectively, we all knew.
Opening Day makes me so HAPPy❣️
I love the breakdown!! The play-by-play, the mental execution, the mechanics. A huge part of what makes BASEBALL the greatest game. PLAAAAAY BAAAALL🤓
GO CUBBIES🐻❤️⚾️💙🤓
Happ is a good dude i was at cubs vs cards game and got there early he was out on the field and came right over and gave my son a signed ball and talked to us for a good while
This channel is the best. Feels so interactive with the players. So awesome
Miss him already. He'll be back from AAA soon, though.
Steve Seay he left? The mlb?
Subscribe to Pewdiepie he got moved to the minors
@@ryanchase5535 Got sent down to triple AAA to work on walks and not striking out as much.
@@ryanchase5535 He had a really shitty spring training this year (batting under .200) so they sent him down to sorta calm that down. They probably wouldn't have sent him down on another team, but the Cubs already had a huge hitting roaster, but now with Descalso, Zagunis, and Russell back we just have an abundance of amazing hitters. He'll probably get back on the team after we trade away one of our "older" batters even though our "older" batters are still young for most teams.
What we really need is some more decent starters/relievers and definitely, some young ones or else our bullpen is going to completely collapse.
Steve Seay WE NEED HIM
Pretty cool that my baseball teammate (who just moved to Florida that year) caught Happ's homerun!
We went to Miami a few days before a cruise so we could make this game. It was pretty cool too see. Being a Mariner's fan, it was weird seeing how many more Cubs fans there were than Marlin fans supporting their team.
I don’t know how Ian didn’t goofy smile rounding those bases. The emotional control is unreal
I remember, i was in high school English class, hiding my phone to watch the opening game. And when Happ hit home run, I shouted so loud during the class, everyone was staring at me crazy lol
im a yankee fan but i subscribe to this channel. Easily one of the best team channels out there
Love these breakdowns. Keep up the great work. Also, really rooting for Ian Happ to figure it out. He has a ton of potential. I lost my mind watching this moment at 11am last year!
i was at that cubs mariners spring training game - it was fun to see happ hit that bomb on the first pitch
Lest go cubs ❤🔥
I'm a Phil's fan but I love these
GO CUBS GO!!! HEY! HEY! LET'S PLAY TWO!!!
Greatest content on CZcams
You guys have to do more breakdown clips. I love knowing how these hitters go after certain pitches
I love breakdowns. Do more!
These videos are absolutely awesome. Really cool to get to look into these big leaguers minds and see how they approach every at bat and expect something to happen.
I watched that live on tv when it happened and it was so cool!
I love cubs videos they're very good, don't know why they don't have more views
Starting off the season like a boss today and last season.
It’s gonna b a fun season this year! Go Cubbies
Go cubs go
That’s astonishing
hope he can develop down in triple A and can become a starting outfielder like we know he can be
I was so totally there! I was in my truck in the parking lot, but I was still there! History!
Man, the editing in these videos is top notch.
Hope Ian has a great year, we need him in 2019
😂idk man Mark already looking better then happ rn
Yes please
I love all of this quality content!
He'll be back before you know it!!!
@@cameronk177 you got a point there
Go cubs
Theres a big reason Joe is one of the best managers in the game. He's more than just a baseball manager
Addison Russell’s game six slam?
And then his 2018 season sucked and he got sent down to AAA! Damn Cubs be savage with it!
ugh an icon

Cubs are coldblooded to put Happ's opening day HR breakdown on the opening day he was sent out.
Maybe reliving it will motivate him to stop taking strikes and swinging at balls. I've never seen so many watched third strikes since little league.
And now he’s in AAA, have fun in Iowa you strikeout machine
I hope they do better than a predicted 82-80 this year, it would be a shame to see the gang break up, I remember Rick Renteria’s one year with the Cubs and they went 80-82, a hell of a turn around from Dale Suvem’s 2 crappy 51 and 52 win 2 years, and i was like, this guy is it, then they fire Renteria in order to get Joe Maddoe, on of the greatest coaches, i was confused cause Rick Renteria looked like he knew what he was doing at the time with the Chicago Cubs, clearly not via results of 2 years with the Chicago WhiteSox, anyways, I heard more about Joe Maddon and was all of a sudden pumped as hell, then they went 99-63 in his VERY first year and got 2nd in the division, a hell of a turn around just in one year, they beat the Pirates in wildcard game and beat the Saint Louis Cardinals 3-2, in the opening round series, i was thinkin, holy crap this is our year, then we beat the Mets in game one of the NLCS, and I was so happy, we lost the next four ending a great season, then during the off-season and heard they were favorites to win the World Series, the opening series sweep against the Angels proved to me that this was in fact our year,see go 105-57 that year, and the round one sweep of the giants defined our season, we were the Cubs, and we were gonna be champions finally, the NLCS series, after winning game 1 but then getting down 1-2 scared me, we quickly get up to a 3-2 lead on them, we blow a lead and drop game 6 but end up winning the series 4-3 against the Dodgers, finally making the World Series, first time since 1944 or 1945, I do not remember, one of the years, we get down 1-3 against the Indians, and I was bummed, I had suicidal thoughts, just joking, but I was scared for the Team and the fans just thinking, ah hell, I don’t wanna wait again, tho I’m only 16 now, and was 13 the time, I still didn’t feel like going through what my dad and grandpa did, we take the next 2 games and tie up the series 3-3, and Mike Montgomery saves us and we are MLB World Series Champions, I remember watching the parade in a Chicago (I live in Oklahoma) too thinking, here comes next year, ignoring the stat saying that most World Series winners struggle the following season, and that is what happened, we struggled to maintain the second place spot in the division swapping off and on at second and third with the Brewers as the Cardinals were taking first, midway through the season, we got back on track, we went 91-71, barely clinching and winning the division for the second straight season, we beat Nats 3-2 after getting up 2-0 and losing the next 2 at Wrigley Field, either way, we still won it so..., yeah, then we play the Dodgers again in the NLCS, by the way making the NLCS for the third straight year, oh yeah, still though, we play the dodgers 2nd year in a row, we lose the first 3 games in a row, we take game 4 at Wrigley Field, yet I know that it is still over, and sure enough it is, we lose 1-4 to them, but all I have in my thoughts is positivity, I am positive we will do good next season, after hearing of a 21-11 Spring Training, I am hyped bout this coming season, these comes opening day, I remember being in class as a freshmen at lunch, 12:00PM, 3 hours before my varsity baseball practice for high school that I’m on, opening day is a big day there, I am watching, and first pitch of the season, Ian Happ drills one and its a Home run, we win 10-5 that day, and I have high hopes for this season we remain in second for the majority of the first half of the season before taking first just as we start the second half, I remember knowing that the Cardinals have to win 2/3 games in Saint Louis and the Cubs win the series against the Reds, which we do, and the Cardinals lose all three games to the Brewers, we end up going 95-67, but so do the Brewers, we play the division tying game in Wrigley Field, which is good, but we end up losing 1-3 and get second, end up getting the wild card spot and are going to be playing the Rockies, we lose that game 1-2 with a ugly way to end a good season, I hear about no big activity but getting 2 relief pitchers in the off season, and hear about a projected 82-80 season, and hear that joe maddon has rumors of being fired, but why, he lead the Cubs to a World Series Championship, first in 108 years, made playoffs four possibly five straight years, and has had 90+ wins last 4 years, tho this 1-2 start after we Should be 3-0 based on blown leads, our pitching starters are great, we need some, well, a lot of work in relief pitching, again we should be undefeated rn, back maddon,Cubs If you are reading this, do not fire joe, I can already see the stars like Bryant, Baez, Rizzo, Schwarber, and Hayward, leaving, even tho Rizzo more than likely will reign, and Kris Bryant has already stated he wants to be a Cub for life, if he leaves, they will too I bet, it is about team chemistry, they didn’t probably have in factor KB being healthy, and besides the fact that it is typically incorrect anyways, I am thinking another playoff year, maybe 92-70 at but it is still in the playoffs, I am guessing we will make the NLCS again, but keep Maddon, we need him, this Chicago Cubs Team is great, and should be for a long time, don’t let that change, GO CUBS
Funny how they released this right after Happ was sent down 😂😂😂
I was at that game and my dad called it
Great filmmaking, team!
Make more of these
Anyone know of other channels that do breakdowns like this?
My brother and I go to culver's every opening day now just in case this happens again
Bro: get through AAA and get back up to the show.
Did he break this down from AAA Iowa?
Drew Hayes can we just not support the dude?
Wait has he even played in 2019
Awesome ❤😎
Can you do Javier Baez 🇵🇷
🔥🔥🔥
I never understood why Leadoff hitters don't do it more often. I think Joc Pederson of the Dodgers is the best at it. He's literally built a career off of first pitch HR's to start the game. He's not your prototypical leadoff hitter at all. He strikes out a lot, takes huge swings, plate discipline isn't the best, and he's not that fast. But I've seen him start off a game by hitting a BOMB numerous times. It's the only reason why the Dodgers have him hitting leadoff...
I HAVE HIS AUTOGRAPH
Hello
Joe madden looks like my friends dad
Ureña was the one to dislike this vid lmao 😂
The starting 9 disliked it
👍
okay but does Ian have a crush on Jason Derulo??? i love it:)))))
Kaela Hendrickson That was pretty funny. “The sexiest national anthem...” 😂
.......and then it went to his head and he slumped for the next.........most of 2018 lol. I hope he relearns to just spray line drives all over the place and let the home runs come on their own. When he first came up he used to hit these weird things called doubles.......
He is a switch hitter with power who takes walks and those dont grow on trees so I'm still fairly bullish on Mr. Happ.
Defense was definetely impressive for his build, pretty quick and took pretty decent routes to balls hit in his area.
maybe mark zagunis can do that for happ this season
He already brought in an RBI
Do what you gotta do to be the best player you can be. Bide your time in the minor leagues and if you’ve got the intangibles come back with a vengeance.
Hi
Ahhh it was off Ureña it’s not that hard to do
And he's starting the year in AAA.......irony! I don't think he will stay their long though.
And now he's in AAA working on holes in his swing... Eloy, Gleyber, Soler, Starlin however are all starting opening day for their current teams... Yikes Theo!
Castro turned out not to be excess goods, as Russell has struggled mightily, and Wade Davis was on the final year while soler had 4 years 17 mill left on his deal. Gleyber trade was the most justifiable I admit. Cubs got nothing for Castro and trading a top 5 prospect for a backend starter is really bad.
@Eliot Jurgensen haha thanks
😂😂😂😂😂
funny how he's in the minors, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
First Comment
No one cares
Awkward.
Pls pin me
He is so good but lemme jus say he kinda creepy lmao al monotone
