Now the kids who thought Griffey Jr was super cool with the hat on backwards are the old angry guys. đ
The Dave Winfield glove snap
Old heads will be old heads.
Yeah cause that shit is gay
Exactly I had a good friend have a gnarly injury due to a slide
Or he heard âdripâ and realized itâs nothing but a messed up fashion statement. So yea, Iâd youâre in high school and youâd rather worry about appearances than fundamentals, the coach isnât doing his job.
Drip when you can afford to leave the faucet on and pay your own water bill
Focus on the game not the drip
Young and dumb will always be young and dumb
We always put our batting gloves in our back pockets 15 years ago. I donât see how this is any different
Itâs way different. A lot of guys use batting gloves in the field never seen a fielder need a kitty mitt and not to mention itâs a pussy thing anyways slide with your balls out.
Luckily itâs THEIR team so feel free to see it however you like
Its not a batting glove its a giant oven mitt lol, either way idc personally i just view it being weird on defense.
It looks stupid.
Rule number 1, always look cool. Some think it's always be cool, but nobody can always be cool, but you can always look cool.
Rule number 2, never ever, EVER get lost...
Rule number 3, when you get lost, because eventually you will get lost...refer to rule number 1.
It doesn't look cool, it looks dumb. Griffey Jr was cool with his backwards hat. Craig Biggio with all of his wrist tape and wristbands looked cool. Bryce Harper looks cool with his headband. The oven mitt looks fucking dumb. Use it for what it's for. I understand why professionals want to protect their million dollar fingers. But it is one of the dumbest looking things I've ever seen...
It serves no purpose and looks dumb.
You donât see the difference between batting gloves and an oven mitt??
Thatâs drip?⊠youâre batting .165 Johnny, you donât need fucking dripđđđ
more like .090
Watch the team where every kid has one and they all go in standing up
And while weâre at it, letâs ban batting gloves and helmets, and have these kids dipping and drinking like the good old days.

That's just what our sport in national decline needs; pointless gatekeeping.
exactly - this guy isnt tough hes just another toxic coach looking to whip kids into obidience. Good luck bud
Baseball isn't in decline, never has been in decline, and won't be put in decline because people disagree on baseball cultural issues.
â@@Cubs1719kids should learn concepts like teamwork and discipline. That includes following the coaches rules. If that means not keeping the goofy looking hand warmer in your pocket. Its not about me, its about we, the team
You sounds salty.
Too late, while youâre at it get rid of the unwritten rules as wellâŠ
But is it effecting their ability to play or are you just being a salty ass coach who wasnât allowed to play with any kind of personal style back in the day?
Style??? What are you smoking! Since when is an oven mitt stylish??? This is all about protecting your hands when you slide. But when you watch HS and College games now, you never see anyone sliding head first. They all wanna be Trea Turner and slide by the bag and just tag it with their mitt-covered hand. Bunch of wannabe's!!!
I was gonna say the same thing lol
They wonder why kids hate baseball..
@@Bigboy-r4kmaybe lazy kids that really donât want to play sports but I kinda get what youâre saying in my country the Dominican Republic baseball is religion from birth
Not everything has to be ego-fueled is essentially what theyâre saying, but in the social media era thatâs an unpopular opinion and considered being salty about ânot allowing dripâ
I have to agree with AJ on thjs one.
Whoâs that
@@sir.muffiniii7011you donât even know who AJ is? Cmon dude you know more about mitts that only protect you from baby scratches than one of the best catchers of the century.
âthe oven mitt is so embarrassing that i have to stop the game and embarrass my self and a kid who is just emulating their hero because iâm not comfortable with things i donât understandâ
Yes having a mitt you donât need unless your on base is embarrassing. He fully understands that getting on base is more important than âhaving style.â Get on the Dahm bag then you can have all the drip you want.
@@Squidpaws469 The mitt doesn't prevent you from getting on base.
"I need attention hey everyone look at me lol my glove is dope right max drip boiz"
We understand it. We understand that you're a dork.
Pretty soon the mittens will have idiot strings attached to themđ
Old man yells at clouds vibes
Naw these baseball kids are getting out of hand. Sparkly necklaces from Temu, face shield, oven mitts and unnecessary eye black đ mlb players earn the right to swag themselves out if theyâre good, these kids ask for drip for Christmas đ
He was never a base stealer thats why
Looks like he stole burgers not bases.
Why tf you need a mit on defense you have a glove not a mit and your not stealing a base or sliding to a base no need for the mit when your playing defense
Base stealer here. What do the mitts do? Almost always slid head first, and never had a wrist issue, i dont get it tbh
@@tyca659 itâs not just the wrist itâs for the fingers as well thatâs all it a for to protect fingers hand wrist injury
@@boogieman1765 thanks man. I still don't see what it'd do. Getting cleated with spikes is gonna hurt regardless, but I guess it could prevent you jamming your fingers or something.. idk
We used to make fun when we played club teams. Every single kid had an oven mitt. So when we played one on Sunday our top 4 hitters had actual oven mitts in their pockets. It was awesome. Then we smoked the club team.
These are the coaches that hold back the game of baseball from growing
Itâs just stupid that I have that crap on you. The kids are now putting cosmetics above playing hard and winning.
@@letsgobrandoniagree6803their putting fun above everything, isnât that the goal?
@@letsgobrandoniagree6803a sliding mitt is not cosmetics itâs a tool to keep your hand protected when sliding headfirst
I played professionally and I would like to ask you how in the world is having a slide mitten holding back the game. đ it's literally the absolute ridiculous and pointless thing. I've slide in plenty of bases in my life and not one single time did i sustain an injury to my hand. Fact incase you were wondering. It's dumb
@@j.tyler2024 right lmao like dude kids are always gonna have cool little trends wanting to be like big leaguers if anything itâs good for the game because these kids are falling in love with it
I donât really get how sliding mitts are legal in baseball especially in MLB. In a game that frequently comes down to inches and replay review, that extra inch or two on a sliding mitt could be the difference between a runner being out and safe. Idk maybe itâs just me
itâs more like 1/2 an inch at most
Stuff some cork in there for extra reach
They salty đđđ
They're*
I'm glad I didn't have coaches like this. Dude needs a chill.
@@rileyanderson9287thatâs why you suck tho
100% correct. Sliding gloves are so damned stupid. Getting a little roughed up is all part of the game. Trea Turner fucking ruined all of us.
That's why baseball is stuck in the 1900s ya don't let players express themselves
Most money any league đ€€ and we donât bitch
âExpress themselves.â God youâre gay as hell
Good that's good for baseball look at the clown shows called the nba and nfl now
"lEt tHe pLaYeRs eXpReSs tHemSeLvEs"
That's just code for a lack of discipline and respect for your opponents.
â ââ @@kevinanderson1642lack of respect? Feeling disrespected because of whatâs in someoneâs back pocket is the epitome of âsnowflake mentalityâ get over yourself buddy. The only thing it effects is the runners hand
These guys probably get livid when they see a bat flip
Oven mitt kid today will be âsoftball guyâof the future.
Also, why you need 4 bats in that bag every where you go?
I had a coach who called guys who wore the headphones, the armbands, the towels, and all of the other âdripâ things Cool Daddies.
âAll you damn Cool Daddies, I need some tough daddies.â You know who they are, the guys who just show up and work. The sack lunch guys. The guys who you know are going to show up, put on a show, and you donât have to worry about them off the field of hurting your team. Guys like Jason Kelce, London Fletcher, Don Beebe, Hank Aaron, and the list goes on. Those are the guys who you win championships with. You earn the right to have all of your swagger accessories. Thatâs not something that you just earn in high school before you even take the field.
AJ was a no nonsense catcher and it obviously has carried over to his coaching.
Giving it to the first base coach is so damn stupid. These grown ass men need to get over themselves and focus on shit that is actually gonna help the kids play better. Most of the time their ego wonât let them do that.
Yeah . Like an oven mitt helps anyone play better. Not . Kids now are pussies . Never used a batting glove in My life and thats catching 100 mph fastball a all day .
Coaches probably want the kids to focus on what they're telling them to do instead of worrying about an oven mitt. Probably 3 will actually get on base anyway
How does an oven mit make you better Mr never played past second grade?
@@user-on3yl9in8dyou can slide more aggressively without having to worry about being out for the season on a hand injury
@@amberdavis5311 Sounds like the coaches are the ones worrying about the mitt! The kids figure it's easier to just keep it in their back pockets at all times so they have it when they need it, but no, they guys want it passed around from the dugout to a batboy to the coach to the runner... and why? Because they think it looks dumb. Who cares? They're kids, let them have fun imitating big leaguers.
These the same dudes who banned bud light from their cookouts
I'm sure your boyfriend agrees with you

â@@staryotesđđđ
Careful 9 yo's some real tough guys here đ
I agree, the mitts are goofy asf. Theyâll see how dumb it looks about 20 years from now lmao
my teammate got injured because he didn't have it on and he was out for some weeks and its not for drip its for protection be real man
No way in hell if Iâm coaching the kids will any of them use one of those oven mitts!!
Why? They donât harm your game they only make it better, they literally protect your hands from getting cut up or cleared and the make sliding smoother as itâs a flat surface which will glide more
@@sir.muffiniii7011it doesnât really protect your hand much more for anything besides getting cleated. Know plenty of guys who donât mind scratches and have had zero serious hand injuries without ever using a mitt.
@@Squidpaws469 ik, the point it to avoid cleating
The worst is when they are so worried about putting it on that they are basically a non existent baserunner for the first pitch.
Having this guy as a coach sounds like actual torture
AJ had twice as many caught stealing as he had actual bases stolen. No wonder heâs acting all fake macho on the oven mitts haha
Thatâs crazy. Even my college coach donât care that much. As long as itâs not effecting your game in a bad way it shouldnât matterđ€Ł
My college coach was the same way but my high school coach was old school & we couldnât wear necklaces but we could do arm bands!đ€Ł
â@@adampalmer5399wtf you need a necklace for playing baseball? đ

â@@karlketamine8172Tell me why a kid that's gonna get 6 hits all season needs drip? Gotta feel cool when you're striking outđđđđ
Thatâs World Series Champion A. J. Pierzynski. I think he knows a little bit about baseball
@JayBaddAssCutler AJ had 15 stolen bases in his career. He has no right to argue about mitts. Acuna had his 40-70 season with the mitt on his person. AJ may know about baseball but not about baserunning.
@@simonbuckner3043AJ the one that they trusted in spot of yadier and ended getting sworded by hudson in the NLCS not just that only batted 267 all year
@@giovannisimmons5641 Was that in 2014
@@simonbuckner3043bro these kids are stealing bases at 5mph and donât even slide head first đ
Theyâll get over it. Iâve been a varsity coach for a LONGGGGG time theyâre still in that âitâs not how I did it when I was coming up phaseâ good coaches donât care. If theyâre hitting then let them keep it in their back pocket. Iâve had kids put it on WHO NEVER HEAD FIRST SLIDE was completely useless but guess what they hit they, the GOB, the score. âđŒ
I understand that they are mad about them being in there pocket on defense but like if you wanna use it in the base path you have to put it in your pocket you canât just walk across the field to give it to him that takes forever
I use mine for protection not drip. I also only wear it in the back pocket when im hitting not when im in the field
Same here
Nah youâre just a hardo
DOENT MEAN YOUR 1B COACH CANT HAVE IT. YOU DONT NEED IT. PUTTING ANY MENTAL EFFORT INTO IT BEING IN YOUR POCKET IS A WASTE OF AN AB
@@yoo909it really doesnât matter though
â@@yoo909shut up
As a coach i always told my players to quit wearing sleeves. Sleeves early on meant you had an injury on that part of your arm or leg. I had one Basketball player lose an opportunity to even have a D1 recruiter come see him because he thought my guy had an elbiw injury.
This is the kind of man that gets mad at Tati for scoring a homerun on a blow out and at batters for celebrating. Old heads
Yea I bet he would get mad at him for scoring a homerun. And shooting the ball, and making the goal, and stretching for the touchdown
Sliding mitts arenât drip unless they match the uniformes but really there just used to protect ur hand while sliding
Oh please đ
âItâs drip coach,â âyeah drip your ass right back out to the dugoutâđđđđđ
Thatâs a really strong opinion. It obviously affects the playerâs ability to play the game. Right?
As a kid I would mimic Willie Stargellâs batting box routine. I donât think it helped my performance one bit, BUT IT WAS FUN.
Back in the day if you were dripped out you better be one of the best players on the field or your getting bagged on. Today every kid thinks he's him lmao đ
I played for 10 years⊠all i did was steal bases⊠never needed oven mitt⊠never once injured my hand or fingers⊠every other body part yesâŠ
Old guys hate that the game gets to change without them
âGame gets to changeâ no itâs literally just kids these days full of estrogen trying to be gay and cool
A whiny old school coach. If kids use it for safety so what. Get out of coaching relic.
@@sk1nz28 In hockey they said the same about goalies using mask. Players wearing visors. Both have proven to protect the face and eyes. Good coaches are open to new ideas.
@@sk1nz28 Hey clueless what starts as a project can lead to bigger innovations the closed mindedness of the coach makes him a relic. Adapt.
@@paulassi5927yes but hockey mask and visors protect players at all times of play. A mitt only helps you when youâre on base, so why do you need it any other time?
@@paulassi5927and hey clueless, youâre calling a 2x all star, WS champion, and silver slugger a relic. I donât know much about teams heâs coached but I guarantee you his JV teams could beat any team youâve ever played with.
You clearly didnât listen to the video
Let the kids express themselves like just because you couldn't do all this as a kid doesn't mean you force you players to not do it
What he did as a kid led to him being a WS champion, Silver slugger, and 2x all star. So Iâd take any coaching from him as more valuable than anything youâve ever been coached.
@@Squidpaws469 nah be yourself donât let people tell u that u canât have something you bought
@@WatermeIonVRkids arenât buying it, theyâre asking their parents for sliding mitts that have 0 effect on their play đ kid gonna ask his dad for an $80 sliding mitt just to get on base once and slide feet first đ
@@slamcrowell6014 I use my own money
The fact that a majority of the comments disagree with a former big leaguer proves how arrogant young baseball players are. Even then any good young player can agree you donât need baserunning equipment unless youâre on base.
Thank you!!!
You need a broom for all that dust on your head?
the fact baseball has too many unwritten rules and old heads like this is the same reason baseball is in state it is
@@change929what state? The state where kids are more concerned about how they look for social media than actually how good they are?
They really act like they werenât young once.
I donât really see the problem with having it in your back pocket I mean itâs convenient and sure it also is stylish and it does not effect your skills or anything I just think it is stupid for a coach to ruin a players fun, Let the kids play.
yeah same
I agree but itâs all about the mindset. Baseball is one of the most mental games there is. And if youâre preparing for something thatâs not guaranteed to happen then you arenât preparing enough to actually get on base.
Definitely not stylish. Looks so goofy lol
Let the kids play how they want.
It's about playing good, not looking good
If you look good, you play good
@@CoffeeBeaversEditzyea too bad you look like a tool bag wearing a sliding mitt đ little Jimmy from Nebraska thinks he looks like Elly de La cruz if he wears the same oven mitt
I coach middle school. A kid (12 years old) who sucks, walked âŠout of the opposing pitching being awful, gets to 1st base, takes off his batting gloves and elbow guard (kids are throwing in the 60 mph rangeâŠweigh maybe 100 pounds) and throws his batting gloves and elbow guard at the feet of the 1st base coach.
It has to stop
They mad they donât have đ§
Sliding mitts look gay
Old school mentality! Oven mitt, sliding mitt, drip! Who Cares! As long as they are Not disrespecting the Game or anyone else! Let them have fun!
Kratz was such a fan favorite when he played for the brewers.
He is a really good coach too. Lot of good fundamentals and small ball.
This is the epitome of the âget off my lawnâ type of people
Gotta feel good to play good
Just give them a tampon to help out with their "drip"
I don't need one of those after playing 'ball for about 35 years.
Looks down at my broken misshapen pinkie and recalling all the other swollen sprains.
I just got my sliding mitt and i made a yt short on it!!!
So glad my 12y.o. Hasnât asked for one of them. He has a nice set of batting gloves that he still only wears half the time because he forgets about them lol.
I feel ya on the mitten WTH right looks dumb not drip đ§ lol đ
Itâs not for drip itâs a tool
@@sir.muffiniii7011suuuure
@@sir.muffiniii7011funny thing is if it was actually useful kids wouldnât use it, they just wanna use what looks cool. And sure big leaguers use it to prevent a RARE injury, but these kids are not playing anywhere near as fast or physical, and would be even less likely to jam their finger.
@@slamcrowell6014 wdym if it was useful it wouldnât be used, and itâs not just for getting stepped on itâs to avoid getting cut up and make your hand bigger to get to the bases easier
âYou gotta earn the right to wear gearâ is prolly what he thinks. Literally no one not even kids care what other kids wear. Except this guy lol
Actually in HS if the opposing player had an expensive mitt and couldnât get on base the entire team would be chirping them for being such a dressed up clown.
Heâs not saying he canât use it but the need to have it hanging out of your pocket on defense for style is too much. Idc. However, thatâs what he is saying and he is somewhat right. It for sure isnât going to help you and it will probably be in your way. People are trying to compare it to batting gloves. Itâs way bulkier and heavy than batting gloves.
If you think they look goofy, let them look goofy as long as it doesnât impact their ability to play well. Who cares what you think? Remember, youâre old to them, and old people are lame almost by default.
I wonder if people feel the same about batting gloves in the pocket but I agree itâs kinda dumb looking to put the mitt in the pocket
I mean hitting with it is one thing, defense is another đ
Yeah, sounds like a coach everyone would wanna play for đđđđđđ
I dont have a problem with it. As long as they're putting more effort into playing the game than the effort they put in to looking cool.
Youâre supposed to give it to the 1st base coach or have an assistant/ball boy give it to you when you get on 1st so you can slide with it as you steal 2nd or 3rd and Home Plate. At least thatâs how I feel, no need to carry it with you all the time during the game.
and this is why the nba and nfl are more popular with the youth, people like this. smh
They didnât play with gloves they play with their bare handsđ
Some people will argue âlook good, feel goodâ but realistically when youâre fielding that awkward grounder on a hop and chucking the ball 150 feet in under half a second whether thereâs a dumb glove in your back pocket or not isnât making a difference.
For those of you calling this âholding back the gameâ yâall are dramatic as fuckđ
U donât want to be cocky cause if you give it to the first baseman coach and you donât get on base itâs weird so just keep it in your pocket when your batting, not when fielding tho
So glad everyoneâs roasting these guys đ
Only reason to have a sliding mitt is if youâre the speedy leadoff/bay stealer type. Thereâs no reason a burly first baseman needs a sliding mitt just to get caught in a double play
At the level that I play, our coach encourages us all to try to steal or be useful on the bases, even the bigger kids, if some of them have sliding mitts it at least shows theyâre giving effort on the bases
@@sir.muffiniii7011you donât need a mitt to be giving full effort on the bags. Itâs a preference but thereâs no need to care unless youâre on base. Of course that doesnât matter at your level because nobody you play with or against will be a WS champion, all star, and silver slugger like AJ.
@@Squidpaws469 1. The level I play at has nothing to do with this 2. It literally just prevents injuries, thatâs it
Sign of a bad coach: they care more about looking good (in there opinion) then how good the players are
AJ just proving how much of a boomer he is. Bet he hates hitters celebrating HR's too
No bro, sliding gloves are a disadvantage. Your hands get bigger. Easier to tag. Less maneuver ability
Looks like most people in the comments don't know who this is đ€Šđ€Ł
You ainât my coach anymore I wear whatever drip I want
Ok like no fielder should have one in their pocket but walking on the field and benching them is unnecessary. But I donât mind them having it in their pocket. As long as itâs bo distracting them Iâm cool with it
Doesnât it make sense to put the mitt in the back pocket while hitting so when you get on base you have it? My son, who plays college ball now, has had the mitt for 5 years now. Not for âdripâ, because he has dislocated & broken his fingers sliding into bags numerous times. 2 breaks & 2 dislocations to be exact.
Baseball is called Americas passed time for a reason
My dad was so upset about stirrups leaving. This is about the same
These guys are my age and a solid 49 years older than me at the same time.
Aj also has 1 more WS ring than you, 1 more silver slugger, and 2 more all stars. So Iâd think he knows more about ball than you ever have.
â I was good enough to play in college just didnât want toâ
What is the difference between a 16 year old using a sliding glove and 2 grown men wearing their hats backwards? Wear your hats properly!
bro you guys dont know about that drip
All I would do would either ask the coach to hold it for when I get on bag or just have it in my back pocket for batting I would never have it for defense
This is what baseball has devolved into.
i donât get why itâs such big deal. it doesnât actually change the game and adds more self expression which isnât a bad thing.
those oven mitts have got to go. they are absolutely ridiculous
Difference between mlb coaches and the ones no one cares about
I think if youâre going to wear an oven mitt you should have it in your pocket at all times donât be having people run out of the dugout to bring your cute little accessory
Just because youâre embarrassed of your hand condom doesnât mean you shouldnât be embarrassed of the pre-instilled thought that youâll need that mitt every AB.
let kids just have fun and play the game holy fuck..
While I donât like the mitts, you guys are grown ass men hating on kids for wearing what they likeđ
Every kid wears it thinking they know how to do the swim move. Another thing both hands hit the dirt when sliding head first either way. Sliding mitts are for the birds
Refusing to let kids have fun in a kids game isn't helping anyone
yeah no mitt while on the feild but i understand while hitting i dont want to have to label my sliding mitt and possibly get someone elses nasty mitt from the first base coach
I donât see the issue! As long as the player is not disrespecting the game let the boys be boys! Baseball is meant to have fun while playing a game of failure!
I agree. Those oven mitts, ive slid into thousands of bases in my life in every possible way imaginable, never in my life have a sustained an injury to my hand. Whoever thought of this stupid and pointless junk looks absolutely ridiculous đđđ
I dont get it? What would an oven mitt do for you? Bat with it?
Itâs to make sliding smoother and protect your hands, it not for when ur batting it helps when your on the base paths
@@sir.muffiniii7011exactly. So why do you need a mitt any time other than on base? Itâs pointless. It proves a player cares more about drip than getting on base.
@@Squidpaws469 I never said that you would wear it when u arenât, what is ur point
