Greg Maddux does not throw a "Maddux," but it's worth watching him regardless in this TBS broadcast from September 21, 1995, against the visiting New York Mets.
Oh man, the nostalgia. I lived in Atlanta from 91-93 and was a huge Braves fan. Was only like 12 but I was obsessed with baseball. Still watched them until like 2002 thanks to TBS. Probably watched this game. The TBS openings though bring back memories.
Ah, pitchers swinging the bat. Such a shame the "modern" game left it behind, it was always such a charge in teh crowd when a pitcher could deliver with the bat.
some athletes play their chosen game in a distinctly artistic way. barry sanders is one quintessential example. maddux is another. he makes you understand why they call it “painting the corners”- the strike zone is his canvas, and opposing batters are his subjects.
I was 10 years old when this game was played. We watched every Braves game on TBS with Joe Simpson, Pete Van Weren, Don Sutton and Skip Carey rotated radio and TV
Same here, except I was 12. Lived for a few years in Atlanta starting in 1991. I remember being mad at my Mom because she wouldn't let me get a tomahawk shaved in my head at Supercuts. It was some Braves special they did in Atlanta🤣All of the cool kids at school had it.
Guess the umps were lazy and making calls on reputation. It they had youtube back then and people analyzing the calls like today, Maddux would not have had that kind of success. I remember Atlanta dropping like a rock after the umpires openly declared to make correct calls.
4:07 is a strike???? Don't say camera angles. Stop the video right before the catcher catches and see. This is ridiculous. 5:23 is also a strike??? Thus is way off even for 90's standards. Any MLB pitcher will get Cy Young with this kind of help. 7:05 is also a strike??? That pitch clipped the batters box. Are you kidding me? Why 31:42 is not a strike for the other pitcher????
All I had to do was look at the timestamp to confirm this was a Maddux start

Thank you for uploading so many wonderful games. Maddux is one of my all time favorites. He was a pretty good hitter at times and this game proves it!
I love the enthusiasm of the home plate umpire.... I wish they all were like him
Maddux was an Ace on the mound

R.I.P. SKIP CARAY!!
the Braves of the 90's can't be beat...
Well, they could, but they still had a great run

Thank you.
Usually when I watch baseball games I put the speed to 1.25, but on Maddux starts I go to .75.
That Vizciano strikeout has always been hilarious to me…it’s like he said to himself “this son of a b*tch got me again”…1:27:17
I also saw why Maddux always requested for Charlie O'Brien. The way O'Brien framed that pitch was beautiful.

So the Braves didn't get the updated 1995 Turner Sports graphics package until 1996?
Yes, while TNT already had them for about a month
Funny how even in his rookie season Chipper was already killing the Mets

Found the Mets fan
Yes 4:07 is a strike. He swung the bat my guy.
