Piazza made homering off Clemens look easy. Dude owned him.
Piazza has always owned Clemens
Grant studios not in rings
@@stillshady1 head to head though, Piazza hit off of Clemens most of the time.
Clemens=Roids
@@thisguy8542 From the time he was on the Blue Jays on, yes.
Piazza was pure Roids from day 1, his entire career is a sham.
@@matingly23 roids dont give you vision and plate discipline
This video would’ve been better had the events been shown in chonicological order.
omg ikr
Exactly.
that's just how i feel about pulp fiction!
@@jameshudson169 hahahaha thank you finally someone else says it!
This video needs to show when Shawn Estes homered off of Clemens later in the game.
I'm going out on a limb here and say that Piazza owned Clemens.
Like a bitch!
Like a bitch!!
@@jameshowland7393 no doubt like a bitch
Until the head shot
@@laurenwarren8101 You mean a CHEAPSHOT.
Love the Bobby V reaction when he sees Estes missed Clemens with the pitch lol
Clemens reaction also: looking at him, "you suck, i would not have missed."
@@thorntoadt.horntoadlll4726 he touched his helmet like, "aim up here next time"
Bobby V was awesomely entertaining
Roid rage at its best
"I thought it was the ball" good answer ..good answer
I was sitting there thinking even if it was the ball why u throwing it at piazza and also who tf thinks I sharp and long object is a baseball
hahaha
Splintery Dodge Ball
A better answer would have been, "I thought I was tossing a used syringe".
@@OBESPRING1982 hahaha
Piazza goes to hall of fame
Roger goes in to hall of shame
Blaming his wife for the steroids purchase was the ultimate bitch move in my book.
hazelwood55 and boldface lying in front of congress
Piazza also used steroids so you can’t say anything
hazelwood55 Golden Boy Peyton MannHGHing did the same thing and got away with it.
@@jimmyobama8241 That's a lie
Shawn Estes missing Clemens was a huge fail!
But then Estes went Deep off of him!! lol that was a Wacky Game I remember it well
Should’ve went right back at him and took the ejection
Should have beamed him. And yes it was
Estes was afraid to hit Clemens 🤦🏽♂️ smh.. Read my intial comment
Under he goes by utube channel name (Me ° ) with red circle 228 👍🏼s to his comment my intial comment there. Read it all!! Heres coming from an adament Mets follower since 1985🙂
Clemens was such a steroid-jacked hothead he couldn't handle that Piazza practically owned him. Clemens could be tough and intimidating but too many times he let it slip that he was a poor sportsman and had the temper of a toddler.
Guillermo Mota says Piazza was a steroid-jacked hothead.
I never liked that the Yankees signed Clemens or A-rod.
I miss Wally Bell. Looked like a straight up good Umpire and it's sad he passed away while he was still umpiring.
Anyone care to guess what would have gone down if Clemens had to bat against someone like Nolan Ryan or Seaver after hitting one of their player in the head? It wouldn't be pretty.
I wouldn't mind Clemens batting against Rob Dibble.
Or Don Drysdale...
How can you miss a big target like that i would of yelled at estes for not following orders
Aroldis Chapman. Clemens is dead 💀
@@jackburke7061 Oh, fuck it - how about "The Barber" - he did in fact teach Dyrdale after all.
This guy is the best catcher of all time
Of all time???😳😄 Morelike Gary Carter was greatest especially in NewYork!
Yogi Berra, Ivan Rodriguez, Johnny Bench,
I would say offensive, not defense, because of this I would go yogi, bench and mike, but very very close
@@thedude3065 yadi
Among hitting catchers, he was amazing. However, Piazza wasn't a very good defensive player. His one weakness throughout his career was throwing runners out at second. Every time someone tried to steal against Piazza, it was almost a guarantee that he wasn't going to get them.
Shawn Estes: “Welcome to the National League, Roger”
Underrated comment
I have always been a Piazza fan but I hated Clemens. He was so aloof while Piazza was a humble guy.
Tell that to Guillermo Mota. Mota experienced Mike's Roid Rage first hand.
Pretty much every fucking pitcher
Piazza was never a humble guy unless there was a camera in front of him
Piazza has always been my favorite player not from my team.
I left a ROIDger clemens in the commode this morning.
I miss these darn games !!! ❤️😎Always loved both these guys.
I remember Clemens hitting at Shae....ESPN paused programming and cut to that game lol
They knew what was coming
They should have done a 'double switch' maybe..let 'piazza' pitch ?
Remember the game when Clemens threw the piece of the broken bat towards Piazza. I did not understand what is the problem of Clemens then, I still don't understand it today.
It was roid rage
Well Arne, there are some things we’ll never understand. That’s life my friend.
Remember the two times Piazza went after Guillermo Mota? I did not understand what is the problem of Piazza then, I still don't understand it today.
Steroids can make you very angry. Also b s. When Clemens said he thought it was the bull. If that were true why throw the " ball" at piazza rather than to 1st base.
@@natalieps2387 Angry like Piazza got, twice, with Guillermo Mota? Angry to the point where you chase a guy out of the ballpark? Bacne + Roid Rage!
I still can’t believe Estes didn’t hit Clemens, how could you throw behind him
Throwing behind means he was trying to hit him. Its a message.
Estes was a bitch. Shoulda aimed at the rib cage area
Piazza- Hall of Fame. Clemens- Never will be. Piazza wins!
scooter
Never say Never!
@@bernardm.3205 Clemens, like Rose probably get in after they pass away
@@joem2916
I hope not!
@@bernardm.3205 Me either
Those New York games bust have been so much fun to go to.
Estes missed him on purpose.
He admitted it years later.
The Mets crushed Clemens in that game. In fact Estes actually hit a Home Run off of Clemens in that game.
The "I thought it was the ball" is just the greatest.
Dodger's worst trades ever were a tie between Mike Piazza and Pedro Martinez. They came up together in 1992 with the Dodgers and then proceeded to have long and productive careers with other teams. Had we kept them, we could have won a WS or two in the Nineties.
Yes sir I was about 7 yrs old and I remember the day piazza was traded. Still hurts lol
There's a reason Mike Piazza is in the hall of fame. He was a humble player that played by the rules, clemmons is not in the hall because he was the exact opposite of Mike Piazza. On a side note I would've loved to see Mike Piazza catch for Randy Johnson.
Yeah Clemens is kind of a jagoff.
I remember John Kruk saying on Best Damn that Piazza should've just challenged Clemens to a fight instead of having Estes do the dirty work.
Piazza: why did you throw the bat at me?
Clemens: “I thought it was the ball”
Media: why did you take steroids?
Clemens: well... I thought it was the ball
Rodger is insane
Piazza has owned Clemens, but in Game 2 of 00 WS it was a different story. In that game Clemens threw 8 IP 2 Hits 0 R. The only time they came close to scoring was Lenny Harris almost hit a HR, but it just turned. Anyone who doesn't believe me can look it up.
ANOTHER great upload Wes...thanks for all the work.
Clemens vs piazza would've been a good fight. Not sure who I'd pick to win honestly. Piazza was humble but you could tell he was a bad ass. Clemens was just flat out crazy. I'd go with piazza, he was humble but seeing him get angry was scary
Estes didn't want any piece of Clemons...he didn't last long as a Met after that. Mike was all class...Clemons all classless to this day.
those jerseys from the 2000 ws era were awesome. I love the blue billed caps and the jersy with the black outlines
Clemens Give me the fuckin ball
I bet Piazza knew his bat was cracked already and it was going to shatter towards Clemons
Clemens, "I thought it was the ball" is he kidding me? 😂😅
Watching this video,Clemens always looks a villain
Game 2, 2000 World Series. WP Roger Clemens. 8 IP, 2 hits (none to Piazza), 0 R, 0 BB, 8 Ks.
vs. Piazza. 3 plate appearances: ground out to 2nd, popout to 1st, fly to left.
That's why Clemens has 2 rings and Piazza has none.
I'll take Mr. October over Mr. June any day.
Amen to that!!! Clemens All Day, bitches!!
@George Kouts Mr. June is a tough man to beat when it doesn't count. That's why he is Lord of the Ringless.
Judd Vance Get a f****** grip will you. Roger Clemens was a cheater so his numbers are over inflated, just like the typical Yankee fans head.
Clemens came up big in the 1986 World Series also didn't he? Oh yeah, that's right Mr. PED couldn't nail down what should have been the game 6 clincher for the Red Sox.
Thank you Roger. I almost Miss mis- remembered that 😂. But I'm eternally grateful to you just the same.
He's such a bad liar he even made up a new word for lying.
WTF is mis-remembered?
Roger Clemens is an a****** and so is anyone who defends his childish moronic unprofessional behavior.
On the other hand, that description also fits Yankee fans to a tee, so of course you wouldn't understand.
Back when steroids were still cool.
Yeah! 'juice them' ALL up!!!
700 - 800 ft homers, & bogus 'bonds' would be around 12th on the record list!!
@UH8meCuzIm RIGHT Not any more.
Your 'football' used to be fun, then they...im sure you know. And i am talking about BEFORE all this miserly, whiney, biching stuff. It really has lost too much - not to mention that purity.
And, in actuality, i only joked about the "juice them all."
But this 'cardboard' crowd crap most definitely WILL cause me to sway away from our beloved baseball.....
No doubt i cannot be only one with same feeling..
@UH8meCuzIm RIGHT ..think perhaps flapjack racing has more suspense..
Thorntoad T. Horntoad lll you think steroids help you catch up to a 97 mph fast ball? Think again. They make you mash the ball when you hit it but you still have to have the hand- eye coordination to make the contact in the first place.
@@inutero10 - Never did I mention anything about increased bat speed, man.
My comment only a humorous spice for mere laughs.
Meanwhile, though most of us are indeed glad baseball is actually being 'played,' but crowdless stadiums are also soulless and sadly without any form of genuine personality....
Don't blame the obvious scapegoat...
They're are far more sinister things at work...
Piazza is imo the most glamorous athlete to wear a Mets uniform.
@Tom Smith wow! That's a great debate. Pitching, offense and defense.
piazza hall of fame clemens hall of shame
This is why Piazza is in the hall of fame and not Clemens.
Forgot what a legend Piazza was
I would have added the Allstar game when Piazza was catching Clemens and was tipping off AL hitters who clobbered him.
www.baseball-reference.com/allstar/2004-allstar-game.shtml
So I have a theory about the bat-throwing incident; I think it was a misunderstanding.
Not a huge Clemens fan so I have no dog in this fight. I just never bought it as intentional.
I think it was like this; it's the WS and Clemens is super on edge and probably super roided up. He's facing one of the best hitters in the national league and he owns him. Basically Clemens couldn't possibly be more fired up. He delivers the pitch and a light colored object flies toward him in a blur and for just a split second he thinks its the ball, long enough that his instincts kick in and he goes to field it. But when it gets to him and it's a sharp, pinwheeling bat it scares him and he gets a huge rush of adrenaline. In that moment of fear, anger that he almost got hurt and maybe a little bit of embarrassment he gets pissed off and throws the bat aside, but inadvertently did it right at Piazza who obviously got pissed. Then a combination of ego and old-school unwritten rules stuff keep him from walking over and explaining himself and apologizing. He would rather look too aggressive than be interpreted as soft or foolish.
That's how I've always interpreted this incident.
Let me bottom line this for you: The Red Rocket was juiced out of his mind and tried to be a hardass and immediately regretted it.
Dorvid
That’s a lot more to assume as true than it being intentional
I'm not assuming anything. I am saying the conventional interpretation of this doesn't feel right to me. It isn't how I read whats in front of me and it feels like there's a different explanation. I am not claiming to KNOW this is what happened.
Very thoughtful comment, but surely a professional pitcher has to have more control than what Clemens exhibited. An honorable player at some point apologizes to Piazza (which may have happened).
How did might piazza do in that WS?
Think Clemens got a win, 10plus k’s and ohh yeah a ring.
Hitting home runs in June subway series kinda not the same in WS
The last one when they pitched to roger clemens at bat and missed him..Mike Piazza says: you son of a bitch you failed my pay back
I still remember watching that game when clemens threw the broken bat and almost hit Mike Piazza. Lack of sportsmanship and respect. Never apologized to Piazza. Not a great player at all.
Always made me hungry for Domino's. Thin crust. Anchovies and pineapple. 2 liter Diet Coke... Got me again, didn't he? Alright, I'll call 'em up already
Love Piazza
The Mets can't even hit a guy on purpose properly 😅
For those who don't know he hits another one after that smiles my man Mike
“I thought it was the ball!” even if that was true, why did Clemens grab it and throw it at Piazza and not the first baseman? No one was buying it then and no one’s buying it now!
The only thing I took away from this. Video was that rondell white played for the yankees lol
Clemens knew it was coming. Didn't shy off it and was ready to take it. You can see he even tips the cap to the pitcher. Although I don't agree with throwing at a guys head. Which im sure he meant to go ribs but missed his spot. Cos you know he's human and not superman. He was honest enough to know he had to wear it to make it right
Good for Mike. Clemens acting like a little girl.
I like how the pitcher backed up his mate at the end
One can say without doubt that Piazza was confident and on the top of his game when he confronted Clemens...The latter was known to e very often Hot-stuffed with steroids, and Piazza was much more straighforward as a person...
How dare you break the bat in my direction!
The pitcher Estes that threw behind Clemens would later take Clemens deep in that game
Great video
I don't get the rivalry either. When Clemens through the bat, it seemed to me that he was caught in the moment and he was trying to get rid of the shards of the bat. He didn't even look like he was trying to hit Piazza.
Also Clemens had rage from abusing steroids'. He was pissed at a fan threw a ball into the stands missed him and hit a woman in her seventies at Oakland.
Hey Wesley, what team is your favorite?
Astros!!
WesleyAPEX same here my good friend! Just watched em beat the Angels 11-3, I love the STROS and all but, poor Angels man...
That's what I'm talking about
WesleyAPEX rip
Piazza was catching Clemens when they were teammates for the NL at the 2004 All Star Game. The AL started the contest confusing Clemens with their batting practice pitcher but I don't think Piazza was tipping them off about what was coming, he was too professional for that.
Can you do farthest homerun at every MLB stadium
Clemens still couldn't get over 1986 world series loss. He was a buffoon.
LOL Piazza couldn’t have made that broken bat head towards Clemens if he tried with all his might lol.
Wow Piazza absolutely OWNED that Baby Clemens lol "aw someone hits moonshot homeruns off me, let me beam them in the head" - what a total cheater doushe over-rated pitcher Clemens was. Glad he was exposed in the long run
Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza, still a better love story than Twilight.
I was in Dodger stadium the morning, I heard Tommy Lasorda say " YOU DID WHAT TO WHO" Tommy was pissed off
The GM just traded Mike.
They both were battery mates in the All-star game in houston when Roger was with the Astros. There was an at-bat where Roger wouldn't go with the pitch that Mike Piazza wanted. It felt awkward how long that pause was. Finally Roger sends HIS pitch and it get blasted by, i forgot exactly who, but blasted over the train in left field. Idk how or why this saga started but Roger seems to always get the wrong end of the battle with Mike.
It was either Alfonso or Manny. I remember watching that game. Clemens got hammered.
Piazza the best catcher modern era
Clemens just put it right where Piazza liked it.
Quote from mike himself "I'm glad I got held back Clemens is a huge sob".
Piazza should’ve punched Clemens right in the face after he threw the bat at him
Clemens got the last laugh by beating the Mets in the ws to win a ring and piazza has none
Clemens had some roid rage when he threw the bat LMAO
Piazza owned him, but Clemens was a savage!
Yeah, steroids tend to bring out the savage in people.
Man miss these days. Sports like the majority of things seemed better.
Clemens should have 100% been ejected from the game when he threw the barrel of the bat back. It was clearly intentional. Piazza completely owned Clemens his entire career. Clemens was, and will akways be a POS. He lucked out he played in the AL where pitchers wore skirts and didnt have to step in the batters box to face up to their actions. DH...worst part of baseball.
I always thought the broken bat come backer happened after Piazza was beamed.
exsxpx1 it is the video just doesn’t show the events in chronological order
It did
didn't clemens EVER get piazza out? i can't watch any more!
He actually did. If you watch the 00 WS you'll see that he actually did .
@@lightningsamurai4134 perhaps a highlight reel of just clemens getting piazza out. it could be an object leason in dishonest media editting.
God Estes you had ONE job!
Thome tagged Clemens 8 times in his career....
This was world series
Estes lost his teammates respect after this game
Yup only thing couldn't catch was clemens sinker lol
It likes Roger had some ROID RAGE there
What a jerk. If that actually hit his face, that would have been terrible.
Poor sportsmanship in so many ways.
Piazza has class, that only Italian men have, Clemens will never have it, that is why he is not in the Hall !
Roger Clemons was a great pitcher and I wished he pitched for my team....that being said I always felt he was a cheap shot artist, Its much easier to throw inside when you don't have to stand and face it yourself....worst part of the Designated Hitter rule.
maybe craziest shit ive seen in MLb
‘Roid Roger was batshit crazy....damn good...but batshit crazy!
What a badass
Piazza owned Roid Head Roger lol
He clearly broke the bat and directed the broken shard at Roger on purpose.. duh
