And honestly, if you think about it.. Even though you had a short MLB career, you were good enough to play in the same league as Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, etc.. So you didn't have a Hall of Fame career, your name will always be in the books.. You were drafted first round and called up to the show for a reason.. You got to do something all of us can only dream of..
Hey Matt, just wanted to thank you for this throw. The Brewers went on to win this game 1-0 thanks to your throw, and then made the playoffs that year for the first time in my life by a single game. I also somehow managed to tear a muscle in my shoulder celebrating after game 162 that year, so you're partially responsible for that too.
A 1-0 game in the season the Brewers ended their 25 year playoff drought by clinching the wild card on the last game of the season. From a Brewers fan - thank you, Matt, best throw ever!
@@JDMatthias Spring Training '94. I saw THREE trainers stretching out his Dad, Cecil, before a game. He was on his back. One held his shoulders. One held the straight leg. The other raised the other leg. :-)
Matt this is why you have the best channel on YT! You don't see pro players in any sport breaking down their games like this. Hope you start a series with vids like this if you have more games to show us.
I really appreciate your honesty and humility Matt. Also your sense of humor about it all is a real treat in a world of haughty athletes who take themselves way to seriously. Your a hell of good baseball player and I'm sure an outstanding coach keep up the good work!
@@marcussmart304 yea, same with a bad batting streak. You are not doing well, and the last place you want to be is in the batters box. Nothing seems to be going your way.
Exactly. This kind of mindset has to constantly be at work, specifically in baseball, which is no small task. It's incredibly hard to have a short memory when you're a competitive athlete.
“The worst part of my major league career”... Anytime that comes out of my mouth, I’m only talking about video games 😂 so props to you for even making it man
Really admire how you shook off that mistake. I get the sense that pros have the ability to leave that stuff in the past. Stuff that would crush anybody else. True pro!
It's amazing seeing you analyze your short stint in the majors and describing it. Goes to show how much of a journey it is to even get there, let alone flourish. Love your humility. Most people don't know the extreme difficulty it takes to make it to the show in the first place. They're all just "experts" because they listen to sports radio.
A lot of people only highlight successes. Talking warts and all, is an honest man’s approach. Although not the hall of fame career that we all dream about as kids, you lived the dream and made it to THE SHOW.
Matt: I really respect you for sharing this video. It's pretty obvious that it stirs up a lot of different emotions, frustrations, and thoughts, so the fact that you shared it and talked about it is very cool.
Holy crap Brian Giles batted lead off!!! I remember when he played in Pittsburgh he was always in the 3 hole...I remember the trade that sent Giles to the Padres it was for Jason Bay anybody remember him?
I'm sorry for having you bring this up. I was the Brewer fan who asked about your most memorable/embarrassing moment in Milwaukee. I appreciate what you do and still say you're one of my favorite players just because of your interaction. It is kinda weird saying that as someone who's only 4 years younger but absolutely respect you being called up and living every kids dream.
Haven’t commented in any of your videos, Mr. Antonelli you’re a real one man. Got respect for you and I love how you talk about the game. And especially teaching through your failures and experience with the game, leading by example. Salutes
Love your humility...your candor gives us baseball fans a look at pro baseball life like we’ve never seen before. Thanks and keep the great vids coming
This is hilarious but all I can think of watching is how cool it is that you were in there with the big boys in the show! That is something else being able to play with and against some of the hugest stars in the game on the biggest stage. I'm glad you didn't rake and can make youtube vids for thousands of us to enjoy now lol
I love your videos because of the humility you show. I’ve played softball with guys who didn’t accomplish 1/100 of what you have and you’d think they’re in the HoF. Keep up the great work.
This is great. Your sarcastic attitude and narration is very funny. When you scream "Matt!" after the outer half pitch you popped up I laughed out loud.
Thanks for the Shout out last video Matt! If you Ever come to Portugal, I can show you things around here (well, in the north mostly) and show you my awful mechanics that Will make you miss kyle and Richie 🤣
Way late to this but never knew you were a part of one of my favorite Padres teams. Giles and Peavy were two of my favorite players to watch, Jason Kendall too for that matter back when he was on the Pirates with Giles so it was cool to see his cameo.
I was having a rough day today Matt, until I watched this. Then I thought to myself “at least I never air mailed one like Matt did in the majors”. It helped.
This Is Awesome ! The Fact That You Had The Chance To Play Ryan Braun , Prince Fielder , And Adrain Gonzalez Is Absolutely Mind Blowing ! I’ll Do Anything For That Chance
It's such an awesome thing getting your perspective, and you sharing your experiences with us. Thank you. I don't think anyone who follows this channel thinks that you're a failure. You played in the effing major leagues. I remember we had 2 guys that played on the local community college baseball team, they played 3rd and short on my rec league softball team, they were so much better than us...and that's community college. Love all the videos, thank you again.
1983 Season I was playing 2nd base, and I got a routine ground ball to me, and I "Steve Sax'd" it into the bleachers behind 1st base. SOOOO embarrassing.
You're a humble dude Matt, btw that was some serious arm strength. Can we look forward to a RTTS episode tonight? I love your other content but there's something really special about a former pro playing rtts.
Despite the bad play. It must be fun to watch some of these. Have a lot to be proud of Matt. There’s guys I know spend thousands on a fantasy camp and you got to live it.
Bro, I’ve just started watching your vids a couple weeks back. Love your personality man. Can tell your a real good dude. Keep grinding, the content has gotten better it seems like. Just keep enjoying making the vids. Be good dude!
Found your channel few weeks ago..love the content and the road to show..stop playing down your mlb play..99% of people can't display what you do..You made it!!! MLB...
Matt, this just shows how great you can be (like yourself) and how difficult it is to compete at that level. Love you channel. My true sport of passion is ice hockey. But you run such a great channel I keep coming back. I played baseball growing up, so I do like it. I also enjoy your recent addition of MLB The Show on PS4 (I love video games) and your road to 400. Great content. Thank you.
I have no idea how I landed here, but thank you for this video. I was there that day with my two daughters somewhere in section 439 about 20 feet from needing supplemental oxygen. I remember how loud the games were that year.
Not laughing at your performance but I couldn’t stop laughing at your reaction....priceless....Coach I can’t say it enough, but Sir you are appreciated....🙏🏻
Lol...PRINCE FIELDER!!! Dude, your show is great. Cool to get an inside scoop on the whole deal. Keep it up. BTW you smoked that one to 3rd. Tuff break on that one.
Fielder was my favorite brewer growing up. saw him in person a few times at fan fests but always just missed getting his auto. its such a shame he had to retire so early from neck injuries- would love to see him in todays mLb.
At the end of the day, you're in a big-league uniform on a big-league field playing major league baseball. An accomplishment pretty much NONE of us have ever come close to... Good on you for being a good sport... lots to learn from here.
7:57 he's definitely out, but it is really close. It looks like his hand is just a couple of inches of the bag as you tag him. 8:49 Okay, yeah, that's really close, but even if there were replay back in the day, I'm not too sure that you can over-turn it; though, admittedly, I'm watching it go through at least 4 compressions (IRL to FSN; FSN to DVD, DVD to Phone, Phone to TH-cam).
I looked it up because I was curious but your limit home stats were really good. In 9 games you slash .278/.435/.333/.768 with a .294 BAbip which is around average. The 12 games on the road weren’t as pretty but you had a .179 BAbip which means you might have had terrible luck with balls in play like @7:50
Ah man I can feel your pain . Trying to make a name for yourself and then that happens in front of all these people I’m glad you share these story’s though super entertaining!
In high school I only made 1 error (in about 70 games) between outfield/catcher. Bases were loaded, conference rival, and the guy hits a line drive to me out in right field. Ball gets lost in the sun last second...and rolls all the way to the wall. 3 runs scored. As I sprinted back to the wall, I was cussing all the way.
Yea I mentioned it in a previous video that I pitched in highschool and during my youth years and was fortunate to play with coaches who played pro or college. But I live in Georgia and I was playing for a team in Atlanta and I threw left handed. So there was a runner at first and as you know some left-handers have really good pick off moves and so I went to throw it to first and threw it over the first baseman's head. I was so angry with myself when I did it but you have to laugh at yourself when you do things like that
6:05 SS over infield and CF over OF and OF over infield on pop ups. If you "got it" on a pop up between 2B and SS, the SS should still call you off. Pop up between 2B and RF even if you "got it" the RF running in should over ride you as well. This is how I was taught from coach pitch through high school. Is that not the right way to call off fielders?
True King of the Jungle yes that is the rule. This was a low pop up without much time to call and a much easier play for me. I don’t remember the specifics and don’t remember him calling it. It was probably loud so either or of heard either call it
Matt, if it makes you feel better, a Twins OF (Lew Ford, I think) once lost a ball in the Metrodome ceiling and gave Prince an inside-the-park HR. You only gave him a little league triple!
Anyone that gets paid to play baseball is a very good player. So much luck is involved with staying healthy, being noticed, having success in specific situations. 8:21...back then, if the ball beat you, you were out, just like the proximity foot drag on double plays.
Just so humble...you made it to the show which is more than any of us can say. But yeah you were probably 10-15 feet off the dirt and threw it like you were straight away right
Prince Fielder was really fast for a fat guy! Also, love watching this analysis. Here’s a guy who made it to the show. I play rec league softball and if just one of my throws is on target I feel like I accomplished something!
This was so cool to watch! I think you're underselling Ben Sheets a bit though! Dude was straight nasty at times. I remember watching Sportscenter one night as a kid in the early '00s and he had like 15+ Ks one game with his breaking ball in the dirt. Had so much movement on it. Was a Kerry Wood-esque game. Probably could have been a Cy Young winner in 2004 too
And honestly, if you think about it.. Even though you had a short MLB career, you were good enough to play in the same league as Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, etc.. So you didn't have a Hall of Fame career, your name will always be in the books.. You were drafted first round and called up to the show for a reason.. You got to do something all of us can only dream of..
Well said, Frank
Agree! I can only dream to have been good enough to overthrow the catcher in an MLB game.
Drafted 51 rounds higher than Piazza
Can you comfort me tomorrow night if the Nationals lose lol
I don't care if you play one week in the MLB. If you put on a uniform and took the field then you did something extremely impressive.
I respect anybody who is humble enough to watch, rewind, and analyze an embarrassment in front of thousands of people. You are a good guy Matt!
I agree, 100% Humble Mlb ball player. I bet he would make a great coach.
He is a coach
Dude made millions being an embaressmemt and failure
We need a Jomboy breakdown video.
why? Jomboy been exposed as a creep
the healer I don’t remember seeing this, but even if he was everyone is being “exposed” as a “creep” nowadays sooo...
the healer how??
the healer huh

Hey Matt, just wanted to thank you for this throw. The Brewers went on to win this game 1-0 thanks to your throw, and then made the playoffs that year for the first time in my life by a single game.

And then what happened ??? (Phillies fan 😄)
Fuckin epic. By 1 game!!!

“0.83... I was raking at this point”
Dying!!! 😂 you’re amazing bro!
“Who called this guy up?!” Lmao
😂😂
Hey to anyone that does this, just shake it off and move on. If you let it haunt you it will only hurt you later, just move on and get the next one
Who do you know that let's abad throw "haunt" them?Everyone is going to think about it for a bit.
T C Some players it leads to a chain reaction. They make one error, don’t let it go, and it leads to more

“The worst part of my major league career”...
Anytime that comes out of my mouth, I’m only talking about video games 😂 so props to you for even making it man
Honestly when you told the story I pictured it way worse
Edit: he also definitely wasn’t out by 50 feet, stop being so hard on yourself matt
Really admire how you shook off that mistake. I get the sense that pros have the ability to leave that stuff in the past. Stuff that would crush anybody else. True pro!

Didn’t Kendall play around then too?
Giles never had the power in San Diego. He did develop into a great lead off guy getting multiple walks per game.

Great Video Matt. I hope I can watch highlights of myself in the MLB in the future
".083 -- I was raking at this point" lmfao I love you, Matt.
From a life-long Brewer fan in Arizona, I love how you take little digs at yourself. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
The commentary is gold here. Matt is really hard on himself. Sign of a true competitor.

Discovered your channel a few weeks ago and it’s my favorite. You have the best attitude about everything! “I’m raking!” Haha. Stoked on the videos.
It was really fascinating to hear your thoughts as you break this down.
This is great. Your sarcastic attitude and narration is very funny. When you scream "Matt!" after the outer half pitch you popped up I laughed out loud.
Stellar baseball player and great attitude for reflecting on yourself. A True Champion, regardless of the rings you wear
I say this light-heartedly but I find it funny that you were hitting .083 and Peavy was hitting in the .250s
Cameron Fletcher lol I thought the same thing
"Way to not screw that up, Matt." That had me LMAO. You're a good dude, man.
I’ve been WAITING for this since you mentioned it!!!!!
Thanks Matt!

Much respect to you. Cool to hear this stuff from someone who actually played in the league.

Great video library Matt! thanks for sharing this with the fans.
Matt you are the man! I love this type of content where you watch yourself play in the majors and give us your thoughts.
C'mon Matt! You gotta start earning that money!
1983 Season I was playing 2nd base, and I got a routine ground ball to me, and I "Steve Sax'd" it into the bleachers behind 1st base.
