He would have killed it if he was pitching from 2nd base on his knees.
Haha Yes, that's actually true
He would have been hitting Chapman numbers doing it too LOL
😁😁😁😁😁
That little kid getting a home run ball was so heartwarming
i hope the pirates people tracked them down and gave them tickets to another game.
A) rain
B) score
That kid deserves another chance to see an actual baseball game. nice grab!
p⁰
@@Bologna_Bo they were pirates fans why would they throw it back? thats not how it works.
Best part of the whole video.
Be funny if Zack hample just came in and mossed him
I would be VERY surprised if they let him into the hall of fame with those pitching numbers.
If you think about it that ball that the little kid got on that home run just might be worth something in the future. One of the only balls where Yadier Molina was pitching and the batter hit a home run?? that's gotta be a rare category
36.00 era 😬
@@riffraff1721 a rough first outing. Still, his 55 mph slider and 46 mph curveball are unhittable when he throws them right
@@riffraff1721 him and Albert have the same ERA 😂😂😂
Literally the exact same joke you said when Pujols pitched brah
For a Cardinals fan this will long be remembered as a magical goodbye and the end of the Molina era of Cardinals baseball
Totally agree. Won't be another
Yadi/Wainwright team. Much love for the Cardinals and Missouri (Home) I told my wife I have to try to go see them before they are gone. Missed the chance when I was little to go watch Nolan Ryan. I did catch Nirvana tho.
with Pujols back to have a final year together, it's nice as someone from St. Louis, I've been to many games watching them
Puts a smile to my heart that the Cards are giving Molina and Pujols one last ride before saying goodbye. Im crying manly tears of joy 😂
@@Corn-Pop. kinda hits you hard when your sports heroes started retiring one by one right? 😢
Bro I didnt watch baseball from like 2009- 2019. I started again 2020 and immediatly noticed yadi is a beast. Hes without doubte my favorite player. Hes got an absolute cannon for an arm, and one of the highest caught stolen bases in the league at 40%. Great personality. Love watching him behind the plate. If he doesnt make HoF by himself, they have to at least acknowledge the 3 Molina brothers. All family, playing at the same time. Different teams. Thats what the hall of fame is about. Its not just about highest stats. Its about impact and a memorial to the cool and interesting things of the current time of baseball. Thats why we hold babe ruth in such high reguard. Of course there's still gonna be the highest rbi, ko, and home run records, but the hall of fame is about the overall interest of the the game and the players at that time. You cant talk about the true history of baseball without babe ruth. The bash bros. Barry bonds. Reguardless of if they have the highest records in 10 years, they inspired the next generation and they are a part of the history. And thats what its all about.. Anyways. To kake a long statement longer, absolutly love that they let molina pitch. Hope he has an amazing rest of his career. True legend in my eyes.
This young guy Molina's got a future in baseball.
ikr
Uhhhh hate to say it but this is yadis last year
@@HfdhgfBthhgfhfdhngm that’s the joke
He’s insane
@@HfdhgfBthhgfhfdhngm It's alright to laugh every now and then.
This rookie could be a game changer for the cardinals
yeah. gonna be the best closer in history
Imagine being his catcher tho… Yadi is legendary. One of the best MLB IQs ever.
I wish pitchers are more like Yadi, i.e. they quickly pitch instead of scratch their head, hands, fix their shirt, lick their fingers, take deep breathes, and much more which lasts for like 2 mins per pitch. I wish MLB speeds up the game in the regular season at least. In the playoffs they can slow it down if they want.
Yes
@@Name-jw4sj pitchers are creatures of habit they need their routine no different than preparing to shoot free throws
@@Name-jw4sj Agreed. A shot clock should be implemented. Didn't they do that for college baseball already?
@@Name-jw4sj hes not throwing with effort and intent. I would love to see you try to throw max effort for around 100 throws without much rest in-between
Now we need to see Wainwright be a catcher or be the DH
Wainwright will definitely get a few at bats this year , maybe towards the end of the season.
They should have had him catch for Yadi lol that would be cool to see.
Wayne-O could do DH. He is a homerun hitting putcher
Pitcher
Both DH he's going yard a catching throw out at second
It's totally cool letting Yadi pitch an inning and that they magically got the 18-0 opportunity to do so.
They've got plenty more changes against the Bucs... this might actually be the worst the pitching staff has been since I can remember. So many ridiculous blow-outs.
Whatever "rebuild" they're attempting, they seem content to rival the 20 straight losing seasons pre-2013.
Kinda depressing time as a Burgh sports fan. Ben is gone, Penguins blew a 3-1 lead and the legendary Crosby/Malkin duo might be done. Yet another year, all we've got is the Pirates stinking it up.
@@nahor88 When I was a kid the Steelers were great. You could go back and watch some old Bradshaw vids. :)
18-1? Did Pirates just sleeping through out the games?
@@nahor88 there's always light at the end of the tunnel hang in there 🙏🏽
@@FALL-LAFF-7477 why did you write 18 - 1? It was 18 - 0 when he came it to pitch. And yeah they weren’t sleeping their pitching is just horrible this year. Probably going to be many more games like that this year for the Pirates unfortunately.
That kid in the centerfield bleachers. That smile on his face is what makes it all worth it. 👍 awesome
Couldn’t agree more 🥰. The magic ability of professional sports to inspire kids. When we lose sight of that, it all goes to s@#t
Yadi is amazing because he loves, knows and respects the game. He's not only a catcher, he's also a fan of the game. I really hope he sticks around after he retires, the Cardinals won't be the same without his smiley face behind the plate. 100% Legend!
Repent to Jesus Christ
“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Facts
He already signed in south america as a coach.
As a newer father, watching that kids reaction with his dad was something I long for with my son one day.
Enjoy! Time flies and my son has his own family. But we still share baseball. Something we did soon as he could swing a plastic bat and catch whiffle balls, tennis balls, then baseballs. Makes great memories.
It's wild considering Yadi can absolutely gun down someone insanely accurately at 100 mph, but he seems afraid to hammer it in there while pitching. huge difference between the positions.
If you want to see a position player throw some gas while pitching, look up Chris Davis’s appearance against the Red Sox. He got Adrian Gonzalez on a legitimate swinging strikeout.
If he could pitch from his knees, he’d probably be able to pain the zone a little bit.
I have wondered about that but I think those guys have noticed that the difference in ball speed creates a bit of a problem. I certainly noticed the home run count goes up with 60mph pitches.
Uhh, I seriously doubt it’s at 100mph, Scooter. Good catcher, though.
Yadi needs to pitch from a squatting position behind 2nd base. Wayyyy more strikes!!!!
He's an absolute legend
HOF catcher.
Overrated
and he wasnt before?
@@RO-pg9hw
@@DM-qd7gw Nah, I have seen catchers who are much better than Molina. Not saying he isn't good, he is. Just not as good as Crydinal fans make him out to be I get that he played for your team all those years but playing for the Cardinals seems to make you look at him thru rose colored glasses. Pudge was WAAAY better..
Who would've thought in 2022 with the universal dh that a pitcher would be hitting with a catcher pitching? This was hilarious 😂
The 2022 season is so fun. It's a blowout. Why not have some fun on a Sunday afternoon
I love how the entire STL dugout and even Yadi was smiling after he gave up that homer lmao
Cardinals got the most 2 way players this season 🤣. Pujols and Molina!
This Is The First Time I Seeing Albert Pujols & Yander Molina Pitching In Their Legendary Career.
Maybe they can make it 3 with Wainwright hitting in the DH 😂
Thank you for this video. Baseball is supposed to be FUN. He was having fun pitching. What a baseball player!
fun doesn’t pay the bills and make money
Can we take a moment to appreciate his pitching pace? We might need to call HIM baseball's speedrunner instead of Mark Buerhle.
New pitchers tutorial to be followed to the letter effective immediately.
MLB would be so much faster with pitchers like him. It would be cool to see a starting pitcher go that fast.
Batters don’t even have time to tap the bat on their cleats and adjust their batting gloves between every pitch. I like it
The batters are just as guilty, stepping out of the box after every other pitch.
It would also be interesting if there was a baseball league that forced all pitchers to go fast. Austin Matthews of the Maple Leafs dad said he quit baseball because it was too slow.
I'm a Pirates fan, but major props to Molina. What a career. What an absolute boss.
Your team should disappear
I think he can throw harder from his knees to second than from the mound to home.
Underrated comment right here😂👏
I was just gonna say this. Dude can throw 90 mph rockets from his knees…
It’s too bad he didn’t try that on the mound. I wonder if that would be a Balk???
@Sam I am balked every pitch a player was on base. He never came close to a set
@@samiam619 they were not calling balks in that moment 😮
Just baseball!..no win no loss no ego no politics..🇺🇸..fun and a souvenir for a fan!
“We’d show you the replay but we don’t have time.” 😂
3 people got to see history in person
They set Yadi up for failure. The man's career will end with an astronomical ERA
To whoever mentioned it last week with pujols... im sure you must feel amazing rn🤣🤣
Nolan Arenado next perhaps?
Those are two home run balls souvenir balls Molina gave up in the 9th that are for sure keepers.
First Pujols pitching now Yadi, they're just having fun out there, gotta love it.
I was ten when he was brought to the show. I’m now 27, and laughing like a little kid watching him and Albert “warm up” for his big league pitching debut. I love sports so damn much
Yadi has been in the majors for 19 years. shouldn't you be 29?
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM I’m a math wizard lmao.
They said in the video Yadi started in '04 which is 18 years. The guy could just have a late bday
Late November lol
Not even a cardinals fan. but i remember yadi as a kid... this was pretty amazing to see. What a guy.
Smiled through this whole thing... Just like Yadi did.
Great way to send him out. I'm a Yankees fan at heart but some players make you pay attention. Yadi your an icon Sir! Salute.
Seeing Albert and Yadi pitch in the same season, is easily top 5 in my baseball memories. Well done Cardinals coaching staff.
I mean is really beautiful how yady and Pujols enjoy their last Season awezome 🐂
He "balked" on every pitch. He NEVER came to a complete stop in his delivery & I believe a couple of times he "quick pitched". But it was still fun seeing him enjoy himself. I think this is his swansong year.
😂😂that's funny lol. it's like the umpires don't even consider him subject to the rules pitchers are held to.
I don't believe it's a balk if every pitch is the same
@@wolfiezzgaming7045 also not a balk if no one is on base
Considering the weather was getting worse and everyone probably was ready to go home, I'm guessing the umps would've let Yadi break all the balk rules before actually calling one.
@@wolfiezzgaming7045 You still have to come to a complete and discernible stop when coming set. I think he was close to balking, but it did look like he came set for all of his pitches.
That said, he probably had the best pace of play from any of the pitchers. Also, 18-0 to start with... with a non-pitcher pitching who isn't even looking to keep runners at their base...
I think we'd rather go home than balk him.
Baseball is awesome, and so is the Molina family.
As a Pirates fan, at least they are so bad that I get to see awesome stuff like this! Yadi a legend.
I think Yadi now has a 36.0 ERA!!! My man! Favorite player for a loooong time now!
He did a pretty good job out there. Looked like he had some fun. Was fun to watch. Great video
It's weird to see him in a regular ballcap
Yadi and pujols close race for NL Cy young
This Cardinals Bullpen is so suspect right now! First you had this Pujols guy give up 4 runs last Sunday in 1 inning and now this Molina kid gives up 4 runs today in 1 inning!?!?! What a joke! This bullpen needs a serious overhaul!
@@AllThingsMets9 obviously sarcasm
well Molina good for you , but when that kid dad got the home run ball the smile and happiness 😊 on that kid made my day .
Something that legendary catcher can say he took the mound and pitched
Much love for yadi Molina, They'll never be another, The general⚾️⚾️⚾️💖💖💖
Molina's catching career just didn't work out. He seems much more comfortable with the position change. Can't wait to see this kid win a cy young or 2! Good prospect.
I saw him pitch in the Puerto Rico Winter League a couple of years ago! Never thought I'd see it happen again in the bigs! So cool to see 😂😂😂.
I’m glad he pitched just for the little guy in CF to get the homerun ball from his pops. That was awesome and I’m a lifelong cards fan 👌🏽
As a huge fan or the cards I love to see this I’ve been a fan for this team since I was born I love this team with all my heart
I"m also a lifelong Cards fan (probably because my parents & grandparents were AND because I was blessed to be able to attend games at Busch Stadium). Yadi has been my favorite player since the beginning of his career. My big brother said I was akin to a traitor. We were both born in Chicago (although we moved to Spfld area as toddlers) and he felt it our "duty" to be Cubs fans, lol.
Increíble 2 futuros salón de la fama en diversión total del juego. Bendiciones eso se llama ser grande. Que bonito
That so cool to see baseball loosen up up and do things like this.
we need more of this
Now that’s sportsmanship…. Great Pitching Catch
Legendary and historic 🔥🔥
Cy Molina going to win the CY YOUNG this season!!
I love the tempo. Your awesome Yadier.
What a Legend! Im'a be sad to see him go! 1 of the best catchers EVERRR!! Love ya Lil Yadi!!
This was probably one of the best moments of my MLB career!
It’s going to be sad to see him go, what a legend!
he can throw faster than 60 to 70mph, he was just having fun, and he made it fun for everyone
I never expected to see Pujols and Molina pitch in the same week.
Freaking legendary
Another good contact pitcher!!! On the books of MLB...!!!...yehaaaaa!!! Yaddie!!! That was fun to watch!!
Fun watching Molina pitch batting practice.
Thank you!!! This made my day so much better:)
It would be cool if they made it to the world series this year
It would give both Pujols and Molina one last chance to get another ring
I love the fact that the Cardinals are just having fun playing this beautiful game called baseball.
Would’ve been amazing if waino could’ve caught this inning lol
There'd be a passed ball like every other pitch
So know the Cards will have two HOF players with the worst ERA ever XD
Exactly
🤣🤣
They both are awesome! Love the Cards!
As a Cards fan this is great! Yadi Pujols Future Hall of Famers
Home Team Down 18 to 0, in the 9th, In the Rain ! Dad waits patiently for An Epic Moment for Him and his Son. I Love Baseball .
This is amazing
This is one of the best innings I’ve watched in a while
Talented guy behind the plate. To bad he was such an incredible A hole in every other aspect of his life.
What a magical season
So happy to see Albert with that smile again. I've been an Angel's fan since 02' but will never support them again after what they did to him. Good for Yadi to have some fun as well with him.
Love that dude
Yadi is so nice, he gave away two game balls to celebrate his first pitching appearance.
This is LEGENDARY
モリーナ！ナイスピッチング！
As a life long reds fan I've always hated (not really...) yadi, but at this point, you just have recognize a legend.
As a life long Dodgers fan, I've always hated (not really...) Buster Posey, but after his retirement, you just have to recognize a legend.
As a Red Sox fan, I’ve always hated (not really…) Derek Jeter, but after his retirement, you just have to recognize a legend
Well, I “hated” Johnny Bench, so we’re even. LOL
LOL we're all some haters
I'm a Cards guy that recently came around on Votto. The sport's great ones trancend rivalry.
That's crazy to see Yadier Molina doing the pitching at the bottom of the 9th inning on Sunday, May 22nd, 2022.
Big shootout to the Pirates for making this young man's dreams come true!
Yadi and Pujols with identical 36 ERA's, and both with 2 HR given up.
How can you not love this 😂
The kid walking away with his hands up that was awesome 👍
I think it’s incredible that they have two guys who played 18 YEARS AGO making one final run with the team
The Pirates seems like a good team.
Lol
No a bad team the pirates
Shout out that little dude staying the whole game and being rewarded with a ball! Awesome stuff
Yadi slingin it with the white shoes on.. he's breaking in his all star cleats for his all star game start.. haha..
To be so lucky to be at that game! I'm jealous
I could see this young pitcher being a catcher one day
First ballot HOF for sure. Love all the Flying Molinas✌️❤️⚾
Love Molina
Wow the cards are doing amazing
YADI IS BUILT LIKE A TANK! Never seen him without his catcher's gear on before. New he was strong, but holy cow!
Que bonito
Ya se sumó Molina a lo que logró Pujols
Man's out there throwing BP
