@@RealBrizz You definitely don’t have to love it but considering it’s ranked top 3 in the world by pretty much everyone it’d be pretty hilarious to say it’s bad
The season is NOT too long. Working people show up to work roughly 65% of the days of a year. Players have roughly the same time obligation considering spring training and the regular season but get paid millions of dollars to literally play a game as a career.
My dude the season is way too long as a FAN. Just draaaaaags out with too many games that mean nothing but still charge just as much for them and have people get hurt for them. They’ve adjusted for the length of games but now need to look at length of season.
@@darthquaider54 I'll just never understand this type of "fan"...do you really even like the sport? "I love baseball...but I want to change everything about it."
@@branden3785 you spending the season with your eyes glued to every inning of the 162 games? No? Interesting, I guess you’re shortening the season for yourself and are no baseball fan so don’t comment here anymore.
@@darthquaider54that’s a wildly silly take on what that dude said. Wanting less games is way different than only being able to watch “x” amount of games. I watch all 162 games the Mets play every year. Not all live because of life but still replays, condensed games on MLB at bat, ect. You just seem like one of those people who love the pitch clock and the ghost runner and all the other stupid rule changes that have been done to make people with the attention span of a dead nat like baseball. No one needs your kinda fan here bubba.
@@Jrseydevil the ghost Runner is stupid. You shouldn’t hand someone that game-deciding run that could alter a playoff spot. So right there your baseless assumptions are probably wrong. Wanting fewer games that are more competitive where players play every day isn’t being against this sport. It’s wanting the sport to matter more consistently. And crappy attitudes like yours are why the game struggles to grow.
Vibes alone? Christopher Morel. No comparison. He’s batting.200 and is a player without a position, but he’s a fantastic dude who’s pathologically positive
8 players say they don't want to play for the Mets. "no one wants to play for the Mets" - Jomboy. One player says no one want to play for the Yankees "That's a sour grapes bullshit guy, doesn't matter" - Jomboy.
Why would you scoff at the people saying analytics hurt their career? If you’re a dead pull hitter and everyone started shifting on you, it hurt your career. If you had ok surface stats, but analytics showed you were super lucky and were actually really bad, then analytics hurt your career. I could see 4% of players saying that.
Agreed. There's also a lot of players whose skill set was devalued after the analytics revolution, like contact hitters who don't walk a lot, or catchers who can throw out baserunners but are mediocre at framing.
One thing on five tool players. I always thought of the running tool as flawed because it is just thinking about speed. To me, a run tool is about how good you are on the bases, regardless of speed. Look at a guy like Aaron Judge, who is low in sprint speed, but rarely makes base running mistakes, steals bases once in a while and doesn't often get caught, reads the ball well and gets good jumps to take an extra base, he runs hard out of the box and takes good turns. To me, he's a five tool player, but to almost everyone else he's a 4 tool. But wouldn't you rather have Judge on the bases in a big spot than the much speedier Gleyber Torres?
I always thought tools were about raw talent. Like, you can get a 70 in arm even if you have a bad habit of never hitting the cutoff man as an OF or are occasionally off target as an IF.
Who the fuck thinks Yamamoto, Alvarez, Clase, Soto, Strider or Cole are overrated? How is Rendon overrated? He's barely played the last 4 years and everyone knows he's a shell of his prime self. How is Manoah overrated? Nobody really thinks highly of him right now since his massive struggles last year.
20:30 I’m from the west coast so I’ve only been to Boston once. My grandpa grew up in the NE and we visited in 2005ish. Went to a game at Fenway. White Sox hit a ball into the gap and Damon chased after it. Threw it in, of course his arm was terrible. Swear to God the lady in front of us yelled, in her Mass accent “what kind of Sally throw was that?!?” Red Sox came from behind to win, Papi hit 2 HRs, we sang Sweet Caroline, it was a perfect day.
They could go back to 154 games, which is what it was before 1961 (AL) or 1962 (NL). Then you could make the wildcard series best of 5 and the division series best of 7.
The one about not going to the Rockies shocked me a little bit. Stone Age or not, hitting and pitching in thin air half the season has to be a decent stat boost. And Denver can be a pretty fun city, the few times I have been there.
I get Freddie is stats but he’s also a great vibes player.. you couldn’t tell if he was batting .200 for a month or .400 he was just as excited for his teammates and giving hugs either way.
Love this Jimmy. Two things: The Connor Joe story gets even more sad when you realize he's been playing a lot of first base, what a use of that one tool. Second: Webb also benefits from having the top rated pitch framer behind the plate in Patrick Bailey, I feel like that's such a part of it because PB steals so many strikes
So if 25 teams were listed as teams at least one player said they'd like to sign with if roster/salary/taxes etc were taken out of the equation, which were the 5 teams not a single player said they'd want to play for?
I think the question about the season too long was poor journalism. I don’t see why they included the part “Anthony Rendón was right…” - as I think that is clearly going to sway some answers. It kind of lumps the question in with all the other sentiments Rendón expressed and we may not be getting a straight answer. Why not just ask the question: “do you think the season is too long?”
“Tim Anderson is outspoken, Donaldson…voted for him” is too funny lmao. Also, I say it anytime it comes up, I truly believe I can throw a ball farther than Johnny Damon, and I’m sure you could too.
On the vibes question, I would have said Anthony Rizzo, and he didn't even get one vote. Freddie Freeman would be my second choice, and he at least got one.
Jimmy misunderstood the “vibes” question. They didn’t say put stats aside. They meant pick someone you like not from personal experience but rather at a distance. It explained above the black box.
You misunderstand, because statistics are just facts while vibes are a feeling. It shouldn't need to be said to not factor in stats, because stats are not relevant in regards to vibes.
"K" absolutely SMOKES that "Latina Vibes" boots LMAO. There's definitely a ton of men that would pick her cuz they have a preference for Latinas/more plump women, but "objectively.." she's like a solid 6.5. Most of 'em are between a Hard 5-6 to a Soft 7. K & Asian girl are by far the hottest/prettiest.
As a football fan, I was surprised to see how almost none of them wanted to implement it to MLB. I mean I guess it just means the possibility of more money for yhem this way.
I think Jazz getting MLB the show 23 cover hurt him. He at the time had 178 career hits in 3 years and got on the cover when people like Trout has never been on the cover.
have we considered that the guys who have the best vibes are that way because they’re having success and it’s much easier for them to have fun than a guy struggling to keep his job. idk just a thought they might have been honest about that part
Stanton and rizzo are the kings of “one tool players” Stanton has only one tool, Power! Nothing else. Rizzo’s only tool is grounding out to 2nd base. If that’s a tool…if not, rizzo is a zero tool guy.
It’s called Elemental. It’s based on the director’s life with his parents immigrating to the USA from Korea and settling into the Bronx. The movie doesn’t take place in the Bronx though, it’s called Element City.
46% of 102 so like... 60 people...
Oh Jimmy, no no no
not a math show

Had to stop just to say or agree with a comment.. good lord...
The worst part of Conner Joe being a throw only guy is that he's a primary 1st baseman.... Like he doesn't even use his one tool.
Jimmy kinda unhinged here and I love it
Profar is THE vibes guy leads in VAR = Vibes Above Replacement
Profar seems like hed have -VAR. Dude always looks miserable lol
@@noahg505 Dude's always smiling like a kid on the sandlot *shrug
Harper said he wants 170+ games per season, he may be the only truthful one
Based
Because he’s a warrior
I don’t agree on decreasing the amount of games, I do like the idea of starting a week early so that teams get some more days off throughout the year.
Vlad Jr 100% was the one guy who said a bunch of Yankees were overrated.
Manaoh was definitely the guy who voted for Cole as most overrated.
Shoutout to whoever put Greinke on the vibes poll question.
Not the same without taking a sip of your coffee first
Coffee heads are seething
The comment about Soto voting for Gleyber was savage lmaoo

Mike Trout has about as many "vibes" as a real Trout.
When God was handing out personalities he skipped him
Jimmy, just a shoutout to the consistency and growth, they've directly led to your rise and sustained success. Really cool to see as a day 1.
Xander Bogarts must have used the money he gets with his albatross contract to pay off the players to not put him on the overrated list.
He’s so boring everyone forgot about him
The OFF season is too long. give me 200 games.
Jimmy is hilarious. I’m rolling over the idea of Nola voting for Wheeler
They didn't used to let players vote for teammates on any of these. Has that changed, or did Jimmy miss that?
From a Northeast Ohio Guy - The fact the guardians werent on any of those lists is the most Cleveland thing Ive ever seen xd

So now that jimmies 3 things is obviously a contractual obligation, how long until he gets sick of doing it?
So apparently clubhouse is not a thing for you

Overrated = popular players, or former popular players

5:15 whenever plouffe says how nice a player is or how "they're a vibes guy"
The season is long, but I love it.
Records are a big reason I don't see the regular season changing
They could go back to 154 games, which is what it was before 1961 (AL) or 1962 (NL). Then you could make the wildcard series best of 5 and the division series best of 7.
9:28 back in the day with frequent weekend doubleheaders, Monday was almost a designated day off for almost the whole league
It’s astounding how bad jimmys math is lmao, glad to see the results on some of these. Seeing Jeff as the only 0 tool guy makes too much sense
The one about not going to the Rockies shocked me a little bit. Stone Age or not, hitting and pitching in thin air half the season has to be a decent stat boost. And Denver can be a pretty fun city, the few times I have been there.
Proud of you Jimmy. Keep on excelling.
idk what's worse, Jimmy's math or Jimmy's takes
I NEED a break down on Luke Raley's two out game trying rbi bunt!
If the dodgers were sold, I’m sure the purchase price would be adjusted for the Ohtani contract
The Texas league plays 6 days in a row against the same team and then have Monday off and do it again.
I get Freddie is stats but he’s also a great vibes player.. you couldn’t tell if he was batting .200 for a month or .400 he was just as excited for his teammates and giving hugs either way.
Jimmy was looking at those numbers like they were MPH
How the heck does Austin Hedges not win vibes guy???
Love this Jimmy.
Two things: The Connor Joe story gets even more sad when you realize he's been playing a lot of first base, what a use of that one tool.
Second: Webb also benefits from having the top rated pitch framer behind the plate in Patrick Bailey, I feel like that's such a part of it because PB steals so many strikes
Jimmy you're great at what you do and this show was very entertaining, but please stop trying to do math
How does Albies not even get mentioned for "vibes"?
Harsh Media coverage is my guess about what that player knew
So if 25 teams were listed as teams at least one player said they'd like to sign with if roster/salary/taxes etc were taken out of the equation, which were the 5 teams not a single player said they'd want to play for?
I think the question about the season too long was poor journalism. I don’t see why they included the part “Anthony Rendón was right…” - as I think that is clearly going to sway some answers. It kind of lumps the question in with all the other sentiments Rendón expressed and we may not be getting a straight answer. Why not just ask the question: “do you think the season is too long?”
Ohtani = $700 million dollar DH 👍 "catch the excitement!"
Jahmai Jones is the best! I remember getting in trouble with him at the ballpark growing up.
“Tim Anderson is outspoken, Donaldson…voted for him” is too funny lmao.
Also, I say it anytime it comes up, I truly believe I can throw a ball farther than Johnny Damon, and I’m sure you could too.
"Knowing what I know" means the reasons why he won't sign with the Yankees or Red Sox. He's heard bad things about those organizations.
If they do shorten the season, it’ll be nearly impossible to break records
Jimmy they did number of answers instead of percentage for the bad rep orgs question because players could choose one or more answers for that one
why tf ozzie not in vibes lol
“11:55” what’s this grand secret 😂
I'd never say it's too long because I love it and want more.
Vibes: Bryce Harper
Mike Trout is the most hyped player ever that’s accomplished nothing in his professional career
Define “nothing”?
At least Jazz actually plays baseball on a regular basis. Rendon hasn’t compiled 1 full season if you include the last 4 years.
There's another category of people (like me) who say "the season is *CRAZY* long ...... and I f*cking love it"
On the vibes question, I would have said Anthony Rizzo, and he didn't even get one vote. Freddie Freeman would be my second choice, and he at least got one.

@@snerdterguson sorry, you’re right. They listed three different rationales. It literally says stats in the first one.🤦🏻♂️
8:20 it is long but I like it
Because it was multiple choice, the "worst teams" couldn't be percentage. That said, I agree they should have just shown the count for each poll.
im seriously surprised ozzie albies didnt receive a vote for vibes

It’s on Long Island and I will not shut up
Willy Adames should have been #1 in that 3rd poll.
Vibes are the X factor
If it was no stats and only vibes its Austin Hedges 100%. Paid millions and got a ring for vibes only.
Where do you watch the T20 matches?
The season will never ever ever be shortened way way way to much money would change and trickle problems into owners lives
I figured Gallo would be the 1 tool power guy
A pool noodle for an arm
Never heard that phrase. Lol
How is jazz overrated for 3 straight years I’m pretty sure we all know he’s DECENT and that’s it
lol I love baseball and betting on it I think it’s not long enough put every team in a dome and play all year

Eugenio Suarez should be on vibes. I loved when he was on the Mariners.

What’s the matter with Jack Flaherty….as a Tigers fan, I think he’s just unliked. I don’t give a shit. We need a bargain.
I would have voted snell for pitcher and Alonso for a player on the overrated one. In my lifetime Bumgarner and Jeter.

Not in a million years lol
Aaron judge is the best player and I don’t know if it’s close. He just proves that against the dodgers
i didn’t know that being the 7th ranked CF in OPS makes you “an average player”
depends how good/bad you are in the outfield
He got an mlb the show cover? He’s supposed to be a legit superstar lol.
@@gnielsen07 i’m talking about jomboy calling him an average player. you’re having your own argument.
Career 103 OPS Plus is pretty damn average. CF being a relatively weak position don't make him a better player.
@@DarkSideMaceWindu dont try to change my point. he’s currently 7th amongst all CF in OPS. 7th out of 30 is not average.
