Throwing at a player because he's "too good" is the epitome of fragile pitcher ego
And yet Acuna is "ruining" baseball.
Cutting it into a short, posting it on Kwiks and earning money on it makes it even funnier!
@@ryanconte1365 Its an ap like TT but they pay you for shorts and right away!
Gah! The bots have found me!
you keep hitting me with a 90 mph ball, its well within my rights to hug you with my bat. what a joke
i like how "ruining baseball" is what makes baseball great
@BurnerAckman 🥷
@BurnerAckmanitsnotthewhitedudes’faultsthattheirthebestoptions
@BurnerAckmanthis isn’t a race thing, it’s an old head thing, I wanna see players pimp the shit out of nasty HRs and pitchers like Trevor Bauer in the sport, it needs it, imagine if football players didn’t celebrate after a touchdown, or basketball players not celebrating after postering someone, it would make the game more fun to watch, which is exactly the issue baseball has had for years, look at guys over in Japan, they have fun, crowd gets super involved and the games are so enjoyable to watch, mlb needs to quit with the old time bs, and intentionally hitting players with the first pitch at bat should be grounds for an immediate multi game suspension
It’s cuz the ‘sport’ sucks when you compare to most other sports so people get all offensive when you make it look easy
Do it in the playoffs is all I gotta say on it. No point in doing all thaaaaaat work through 162 to lay a fucking egg
The crazy thing is for all the "bad attitude" & "ruining baseball" he has only responded with better play. All those pitches he was hit by he never went after anybody. He's just playing & loving the game that other ppl slowly are starting to not love anymore
He’s not white
@@bigmfg24-7what does that have to do with anything? Harper went through a similar thing remember.
Ronald Acuna Jr. is one of those players that you can tell works on Baseball like 12 hours every day. That's commitment and that's why he is so great.
You kidding? You can tell he's one of those players currently making it by on god given talent. If he worked so hard then his defense wouldn't be so bad.
He is great and black in a white sport. They hate that. ask the Serena sisters how angry wytes got that 2 black girls completely dominated a sport of 500 wyte people 😂😂😂😂
@@BKDBut if he didnt work very hard, he'd probably still be in Venezuela
@@_SayitAintSo mindblowing observation. Incredible reading comprehension. Top notch critical thinking.
@@BKDButYou’re part of the people the title refers to huh?
How do people simultaneously say someone doesn’t care enough about the game AND berate them for crying about potentially not being able to play as well after an injury.
Picking and choosing. The same organization that lamented his showboating and lack of hustle early in his career began deliberately telling him to take it easier in certain situations because they didn’t want him getting hurt going 110% in situations where the game was already well in-hand.
money
@@maxrosenbaum8502when your star player gets hurt real bad it puts things into perspective. And literally every team used to hate pimp jobs and now atleast half the teams don’t give a shit
@maxrosenbaum8502
Telling a man to not just stand still and slowly walk cause he had multiple extra Base hits that ended up just being a single, and telling him not to go 110% on plays when the game is well in hand to prevent injury isn't contradictory. Logic lines up.
@@TexasSportsTV they told him to hustle, and then they told him not to hustle so much. Extenuating circumstances be damned, those are mixed signals.
I love how drilling the same player repeatedly because he's kicking your ass isn't what's "ruining baseball".
Baseball is dead
Baseball doesn’t exist
....sounds about whyte
why do you love that?
@@joelwitt9901Dawg it's a figure of speech
I went to a Braves game last year, and this boomer said "It's a miracle Acuña can run that fast with all that tacky jewelry on" and he was just wearing 2 tiny chains.
Haters gonna hate😂
definetly was a conservative
@@switchup30found the politics dweeb
Mind you player would wore chains back then as well 😂😂
no wayyyyy bro
Baseball, listen, y'all NEED this guy, and more like him, if y'all want to remain relevant in sports, period.
"Y'all" yep.... you're an American.
Baseball is thriving globally. In East Asia and Latin America. But yeah Acuna is needed to get the Burgerlanders back into baseball
White baseball franchises are too fragile
No one wants to watch show off clown show players who disrespect everyone.
@@Kassadinftw lol, and not many people wana watch baseball period, he's giving it some kind of relevance....quite frankly, it's like government, same old shit been there too long, and it's time for change.
@@Kassadinftw Is he disrespecting anyone? Or are people just offended that’s he’s black and not behaving how you want him to?
You’re forgetting that part also where the Marlins once changed their scheduled pitcher hours before the game, drilled Acuna for the first pitch, pitcher gets ejected, and then they put out the scheduled pitcher right after
#brilliant

"I'M 12.."
lollll dude i swear when you mentioned he got married before the dodger series last year where he hit a grand slam, I 100% thought at 21:40 you were about to say “becoming the first player ever to get married and hit a grand slam in the same day”😂😂
Likely
Me too
Maneeeeee . Stories like this that truly inspire. Make real talent a thing again! This is amazing to watch! Great video too bud!
As a Phillies fan, I have a lot of respect for Acuña. Yeah he talks shit and shows off but to me you earn that right when you’re great and he definitely is. Much rather have him do that than have him be stone faced and showing no emotion like some baseball fans want players to be like
He earns that right but he can’t handle losing. Ignoring reporters to slacking in the outfield.
As A phillies stan i hate that stuck up you know what almost as much as i hate orlando arcia
also phightins are winning the ws and the division
@@astro_ninjaaleast plastered philthies fan
"slacking in the outfield" you mean not diving after everything after tearing his ACL? Lol. I think it's hilarious Phillies fans (astro ninja) is claiming someone is stuck up when they have Bryce Harper on their team lmao. I'm a Mets fan and I obviously fucking hate the braves, but Acuna has done nothing wrong. Who gives a shit if he doesn't want to talk to reporters after a loss? You wouldn't either lol.
I must be missing something because if I was a batter in baseball always getting thrown at, I’d charge the mound every time it happened. I know the punishment for it is severe but it seems crazy to me that pitchers are allowed to wield essentially a weapon at batters with no real punishment. If I were to compare it to hockey it would be like if the defenseman was allowed to purposely shoot at players and no one fought him. Idk it’s just crazy to me that there seems to be no accountability.
It’s a way of the game to police itself without the league getting involved but softies like manfraud have made this a dying art
@@user-os6ps1ls3show is it policing itself? Pitchers get their feelings hurt and risk putting a guy out for multiple games and the pitcher feels vindicated. It's like a kid who throws tantrums and the parents just coddle him more
@@user-os6ps1ls3s until you realize that 100% of the unwritten "rules" exist to protect pitchers' diva egos. it's not policing anything, it just gives grown men an excuse to have no impulse control. demanding that a team wait until it's their turn on the mound to retaliate is the softest shit I've ever heard. but old heads will defend soft-ass unwritten rules because in their mind, anything that's old = hard-nosed and tough, and anything that's new = soft...
@@user-os6ps1ls3sassaulting someone because your feelings are hurt is a coward's move and deserves at least half a season suspension every time it happens. Coaches should always be sanctioned as well when it happens. Ridiculous, childish behavior that's just widely accepted. Old school baseball players are just snowflakes who can't stand their ego being slightly hurt, and the game will be so much better off when all of them are long gone.
Acuña gets his revenge by stealing 2 bases and scoring on a wild pitch
I never watch full TH-cam videos from anyone, I’m always fast forwarding but this was so good! Congrats on a job well done. You had my total attention. The info and the editing is first rate.
You have some serious issues. You should consider talking to a therapist about your inability to focus
can we all appreciate the editing and storytelling. Outstanding content! 👏🏾😌
MAN IT’S GOOD TO WATCH SOME BASEBALL AGAIN
For real I never think about baseball until the season is back and then it's all I think about during season
How can you watch something that doesn’t exist
Amen brother
I have no idea where you're able to watch this nonexistent sport.
HELL YEAH BASEBALL BROTHER
Let's players have fun man. Pitchers can be some of the biggest crybabies in all of professional sports. They throw a tantrum if you run too slow around the bases after a homerun, run too fast around the bases after a homerun, get too excited about a homerun, etc... it's honestly kind of weird to me. Let the younger stars have some fun and make the game exciting. People like to watch competitive games. Old school baseball fans need to pull that stick out of their butt
Well that's what happens when you ban charging the mound.
How many of these piss weak pitchers would throw at him if they had to back it up?
They banned charging the mound? What kind of **** is that!
@@louiscypher4186 Well having the Universal DH. When pitchers faced retaliation from the other side, they had to consider if it was worth it.
@@recoil53 Yeap multiple reasons why the "unwritten rules" are stupid. They lack context and historical understanding of why they exist. But by golly will people cling to them anyway.
Its monkey ladder, scenario.
Pitchers do this because the league lets them get away with it. If they cared, they'd put down some rules to get rid of this stuff, or force every pitcher to have at least one at bat in a game they pitch in. Then they'll change real fast
I been a Cardinals fan since I was 11 and Acuna has made me be a Braves fan as well!
I love his style and swagger he made baseball fun again
Made it to the end I’m in freaking tears standing in line at a gas station! What a story. Great video
The New York post writes stories for people who yell at the sky when it rains.
Feels like my divorced uncle writes those articles
Tabloids, tabloids never change
Like Fox “News,” the Post legally defines itself as entertainment rather than a legitimate news outlet, so they’re basically allowed to say almost anything they want.
Well, how else is Thor going to know that you're not happy with him?
@@bipolarminddroppings
Did anyone else think of Noah Syndegaard for a moment there?
Acuña is the type of player the sport of baseball needs honestly, electric player with an electric personality that is just fun.
It is entertainment, it's showing contagious passion for something. I just love it in all sports, yes kids celebrate your achievements!
When Acuna, Albies, and Arcia clown around together it's fun as all get out! Plus, it's great for the camaraderie of the team! Ask any player on the Braves ... They love being in their clubhouse!
40 year old Charlie Morton came back for another year, some of which was because he loved coming to the ballpark so much and hanging out with his teammates!
I keep seeing people say this and yet baseball keeps bleeding viewership. It's nowhere near what it was 15 years ago. The more they keep trying to change baseball and make it more like the NBA, the more it fails
@@tankwfw Basketball is a trash sport. Hockey and soccer are real sports. Champions league is the ultimate in sports and if you dont like NHL you're a scumbag.
@@tankwfw i think thats just a product of time to be honest. 1994 lost a lot of its fans
Jist discovered your channel and I love it!! Great video
He's not being disrespectful to the game, people like him are making it more fun to watch by being energetic. Coming form a Padres fan, this is what i like to see
People are getting mad at Acuna for being "too good", so they hit him in the arm and back when it has little to no protection on. pitchers are soft. I completely understand getting annoyed when you get homered off of 17 times by one mad but that is no reason to try and hurt someone. Its baseball there are crazy stat lines all the time. I also understand that people are annoyed at Acuna for no hustling in the past, but he has cleaned up his act now, and winning the MVP should show that. I also believe that if you are good enough you should be able to be flashy. I like that Acuna is Flashy the dude hit 40 homers and stole 70 bases last year creating his own club while leading the league in hits. When you put up that stat line you should be able to be flashy. People getting mad at him for being good is outrageous, and to say he is ruining baseball shows that people are soft and going off pure emotion. Also to call him a crybaby for tearing his ACL is crazy, that is hard to get over, so don't judge him for not playing as hard because of his injury.
Yeah the people that criticized him in 2022 got on my nerves because he wasn't 100%. We saw what he could do in 2023 when he was fully healed and comfortable.
@@frozenpiper2 exactly.
@@frozenpiper2 exactly.
@@frozenpiper2Usually it's the second year you get more speed back at least for football 😁
They still hate Floyd cuz he was exceptional. Same story.
It always bothered me how Acuna’s teammates rarely fought for Acuna when the Marlins have always targeted him. I feel like if it was anyone else they’d pitch a fit more consistently
Managers moving strings likely, and/or the players following the "unwritten" rules of the MLB... The don't like change that much in there
It's really telling of the kind of person acuna is..
@@jcstothe unwritten rules of the mlb is why baseball in the league is boring as fuck to watch
Because Acuna is a shit teammate
@skyflipz7642 if you need guys dancing around and twirling bats to be entertained, baseball isn't your sport. Go watch the ballet or a musical
I don’t know how I got in your channel but I kinda felt in love with baseball with it. Keep it up 🔥
Love my heritage my grandma on my father side was from Venezuela my grandfather from Trinidad and Tobago and my mom was from Jamaica,so each island runs through me.
Pitchers intentionally hitting batters should get automatic lengthy suspensions
Bro I love your channel so much I just wanted to say great job
I was in left field for the grand slam against the dodgers. Loudest it’s ever been at a Braves game I’ve been to. Deafening. Beer being slung everywhere. It was magical.
Marlins spending more time drilling players than scoring runs XD
The Marlins are pathetic! 🤢🤮
What do you mean by that
@@mag1ckyle799marlins hit this mf in almost every game they played because their pitchers couldn’t strike him out, if he’s better, he’s just better, intentionally trying to injure a player because he’s pimped so many home runs on your ass should tell you that you need to get better, not intentionally hit him bc they’re trash
It's still comical to me that you can intentionally drill someone with a pitch and get potentially zero discipline and even start taunting the guy hit to come fight you
You sound like a cry-baby. He can get a different job if getting hit by a baseball every now and then is too much.
Yeah, because even when it's pretty obviously intentional the pitchers can still deny it and there's no way of proving otherwise. Can't be punishing people just on feelings
And pitchers taunt guys a lot less when they're not feeling taunted. Nothing in team sports is more 1v1 than pitcher vs hitter. Expecting everyone to just be OK with people partying at their expense is ridiculous
It’s still comical to me a team can win 100s games two years in a row and then get beat by the same team in the NLDS two years in a row 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@BKDButLike others have pointed out, a 97mph fastball to the elbow is NOT suitable punishment for showboating. Get better at pitching and strike his ass out, then give him a taste of his own medicine. That's how to beat him, not plunking him because he "hurt your feelings."
@@Squimpleton yeah, that's completely irrelevant to what I said
Very well put together video 👍🏻 I applaud you 👏🏻
I didn’t realize how large his family is and how many played or currently play some form of professional ball. It makes a lot more sense now why he’s so good. Man I love being a Braves fan.
A young baseball player who actually has fun with the game. Oh, the horror.
😂 😂 😂
Yeah, sports aren't supposed to be fun, what does this kid think he's doing?
I love seeing old school baseball fans foaming at the mouth because their feelings are hurt by a teensy weensy bat flip. The snowflakes crying about "respect" are hilarious.
All these old heads always got to hate the rising star
I’m old af and I love that shyt! We need to get more kids interested in baseball and if that means pimping a HR or seeing who can do the biggest bat flip I’m all for it!!!
He’s a really misunderstood kid. He plays with so much passion, and loves the sport as much as any all-time great before him. He’s just a product of his time and is a little more sensitive and a little more crazy than those in decades prior. Let him be himself and enjoy greatness. There are plenty of quiet and nice players in the league if that’s your thing. Personally, I enjoy watching him play.
I'm with you, how about we just allow sports to evolve with the times?
Football (Soccer) has been around for 200 years, in 1900 players didn't celebrate goals with anything more than a fist pump, and a polite golf clap from the crowd.
By the time when I was a kid, goal celebrations were just a guy running with his hands in the air, maybe one of his teammates might come over and give him a hug or a kiss on the forehead if it was a particularly important or spectacular goal.
But, there were occasional players that came along, mostly foreigners and youngsters, who began to celebrate more elaborately, and guess what? after some initial reluctance, the game evolved. Celebrations have gotten bonkers, to the point that they had to introduce rules to stop time wasting. you get a yellow card for taking your shirt off, not because it's considered crass or over the top, but because it wastes time having to wait for them to put it back on before the game can restart.
If Football can evolve with the times, I don't see why baseball can't.
The solution seems simple, allow celebrations, batflips, dancing etc, so long as you aren't time wasting too much.
The fact that he’s from another country and speaks a different language also lends itself to misunderstandings, both accidental and intentional.
Bro literally didn't know who Micky Mantle was lol
@@bipolarminddroppingsit’s because the old heads want “good old fashioned baseball nothing is allowed to change bring back steroids” blah blah blah bs. I think acuña is the start to evolving baseball but we need more players to follow which the closest to that rn is probably jazz Chisholm and Tim Anderson
He loves the sport? He didn't know who Mickey Mantle was. MICKEY MANTLE.
He's a fucking prick.
I don't watch baseball, but GREAT storytelling, bruv....really enjoyed your video - well done, mate
Ty for your work here. I don't follow baseball but enjoyed this a lot.
Baseball doesn’t exist you are the best mlb TH-camr ever, you do a non-biased baseball TH-camr style, which I just love. Thank you so much for this
I second every word.
Just want to say again. You are the best MLB TH-camr, the ABSOLUTE best, please keep uploading. If you stop, I will be so sad, and Probally ruin some people else’s lives
I legitimately have no idea what his favorite team is. He really just makes videos covering human-interest stories that happen to be about baseball
@@warlordofbritanniayeah it makes it so convenient knowing it will not be biased
@@J_Beast23
Well, I wouldn’t say he’s unbiased-this is a pretty obviously pro-Acuna video, for example. It’s that he constructs a whole video on explaining how/why he ticks people off while still pointing out that Acuna is just that good. Compare this level of effort to your typical lowbrow clickbaiter (cough, italkstudios, cough).
I’m a huge acuña fan man. Dude brings swag and flair to the sport. Plus he’s good af. One of the few players who got me interested in baseball
The kid can back it up, that's part of the reason they hate him so much, it's just pure envy.
Exactly. He's my favorite non-Orioles player. I'm happy he doesn't play the "traditional" way.
Not just swag, but booty too
Same! My favorite player and made me WANT to watch baseball
@@bipolarminddroppings Exactly, he backs it up like nobody else. Someone last year plunked him (probably not intentional but who knows) and he proceeded to steal 2nd, steal 3rd and score on a wild pitch. THAT is how you get revenge for getting hit.
Great research! Even better presentation/video
Go Braves!
As a Dodger fan, I love Ronald Acuña jr. saw him play against us and push the braves to an 8-7 win over us. Such a 🔥🔥🔥 game
I only played baseball through highschool, but as a fairly competitive person I always found it weird that it was considered a cool/retaliative thing for pitchers and teams to throw at hitters that pissed them off, instead of beating them head to head. I’d like to see a new narrative of that being a cowardly way of avoiding the duel. I was also a dh who never had the arm to be a pitcher so I might be biased…
Maybe an exception to throw at people who break the law or are juicing though😂😂
It’s honestly wild how it’s just widely accepted for them to intentionally throw at hitters. I blame all the dumb unwritten rules baseball has.
i think they except it cause he massively boosts the numbers. similar to how ufc allowed mcgregor and khabib to fight. they want that spice and drama and emotion.
That's what I adore about hockey is that if a player intentionally harms another player then that guy is expected to face retaliation from the opposing team's teammates. Heck even in football (soccer) the pther teammates tends to defend their own when shit like that happens.
@@shawklan27 I don’t disagree with retaliation in the case of foul play (like your example of a hockey player intentionally hurting someone). But we saw here that the Marlins threw at Acuña simply bc they didn’t want to be the team that gave up the record (or maybe not the whole team, but the pitcher for sure did it intentionally). I’m just saying that it feels weird to compliment pitchers for not challenging a player that’s “too good” and instead acting macho about running away from the face-off by beaming them
@@johnmarkson1998If they except it, it wouldn't change any numbers, but if they accept it, it might.
I love to see the players having fun. It’s better to watch when the players enjoy it
wtf is kwiks
Yeah, it's way better than them being all hard ass running around the bases with no emotion at all. If that's professional, that's ridiculous and like a brain dead robot!
@@KOrnhOliO1 literally every other sports players celebrate their achievements. Baseball is the only one where if you do it's breaking some marxist draconian rule.
@@KOrnhOliO1only attention seeking marcissists feel the need to act like clowns
Intentionally throwing an object at 100 mph at someone with the intent to hurt them should be assault.
These are great videos. So well done...
I’ve never seen a sport that actively hates their best and youngest players lol.
It feels like the MLB is just unable to market their big players because no one’s allowed to do anything that disrespects the sanctity of the game or whatever.
Meanwhile the NFL and NBA barely have to try and their top players are huge stars.
Nobody LOVES playing baseball more than Acuña… nobody. True ambassador for the game that is bringing in he youth and I don’t know… but I actually enjoy watching someone play who loves baseball as much as I do.
Not a Braves fan but I love Acuna Jr and also think he’s both great on AND off the field! He has personality, passion, skill, you are good for the sport!
Young man is on beast mode! Nothing wrong with being the best and having others despise you for it. Keep up the good work!
as a braves fan from alabama who loves baseball, this dude is a generation stud hope he never leaves

How he wore his hat "sparked a firestorm" 😂😂😂
That is the absolute saddest thing ever... Destroying the season, destroying everything, then you get a season-ending injury and watch your team run to the World Series from the bleachers.
At least he was able to rebound quite well, unlike Carson Wentz…

i don't follow baseball whatsoever but love your videos. so good.
You just made me an Acũna Jr fan with this one
He won me over, when he took the “cheese” pose for that kid
I just became an Acuña fan from this video and I’ve never watched a game of baseball in my life
I'm a Braves fan and he is fun to watch. Elly De La Cruz (Cincinnati Reds) is another young player who is fun to watch.
It's like the beginning of the video made him look like a poor menace from Venezuela.
for real, as someone who is a soccer/football fan this guy made me feel passionate abt baseball
“His other cousin was a pitcher for the guardians” proceeds to show a picture of him holding a bat
I don't even watch baseball but I love these videos. They all have an interesting story to tell.
The fact that many people look at him as a “villian” as they did harper makes me like him more. Same deal with Harper.
Yeah the way pitchers went after Harper his first couple years was some of the most chickenshit stuff I have ever seen in sports. I'm a Braves fan and thus Philly hater but that plus "it's A coon YA" have made me a Harper fan for life
Stop having fun, Ronald. What do you think this is, a game?
The best video about Ronald I've ever seen! Thank you!
This video masterpiece of editing and commentary 👌
I was born in 96 and grew up going to braves games, starting in 2001 and at least 100 until the last game at turner field a month before I left for bootcamp. For most of my time growing up, the braves sucked. We were big because of WGN, but outside of that, nobody cared. It felt like we didn’t even exist for a long time. Seeing this turnaround from how we were mid/late 2000s-early 2010s, it’s crazy to me
im an atl boy and ive lived here all my life, love acuna
I've been a braves fan since before we had a team in Florida. They had our number in our best era so it's amazing to see him crush them now.
Im a Cardinals fan and hes still one of my favorite players today. He gives the league adrenaline. Big time energy guy w unbelievable talent.
18:22 Here's a little bit more context on the incident. It occurred during the Venezuelan league final between the Tiburones de La Guaira (La Guaira Sharks) and the Leones de Caracas (Caracas Lions). Both teams have a rivalry. They have played in the same stadium for decades. While the Leones are the teams with the most titles in the league, until this year, when they won the league (and the Caribean series :)), the Tiburones were the team with the second-longest curse in Latin America (and the longest in Venezuela). The last time Tiburones were champions before the course, they beat Leones in the final. Many Tiburones fans blame the Leones for being the cause of their course because the next year, Leones beat them with a no-hitter in the final. The main factor Acuña's family got attacked is that Leones' fans were not happy. Both teams DO NOT LIKE each other.
I love Acuña and I really respect that even after getting hit so many times by the Marlins he never charged the mound.
They STILL HIT HIM TO THIS DAY . And he pimps every homerun a little extra as he should
Its like hes on a marlin diet cuz all he does is rake vs them
@@t004sm0keuse your rotting brain. If someone always hits tanks against you, why do anything other than put them on first base

Baseball can't get out of its own way, with their archaic "unwritten" rules. No wonder why it continues to lag behind most of the other professional sports in popularity.
Per game it has less fans but because of the sheer volume of games, it sells more tickets than the NFL, NHL, and NBA combined. It also has better attendance per game now than it did in the 90's.
@@mchonkler7225right, but do people watch it on tv, no
@@mchonkler7225Of course they sell more tickets than other leagues. They play 162 games. NFL plays 17. NBA plays 82. Both sports are way more popular because they modernized the game and don’t have these ridiculous unwritten rules. Baseball wants to control players and wants them to be “humble”.
@@mchonkler7225 having a bazillion games and ticket prices at like $9 in the highest COL areas will sell tickets for any sport
acuna is one of the most fun players in baseball to watch rn, up there with betts, and i really hope he keeps his career at this level of play because he is one of the best in the game for sure
This channel has really gotten me into baseball for the first time in my life. Thank you 🙏
As someone who watches baseball w/o a team, Acuna is really exciting to watch. Hes young, cocky (in a good way) and very talented. I wish him the best, is way better a player with a passion for the game than a heartless player.
So basically he's the Allen Iverson of baseball

Why do your videos feel like an introduction the entire time
They do don’t they? I suppose it’s just BDE’s style, he delivers all the script like it’s the start of the video
I still don't understand the rules on pitching at players
Pitchers should be good enough to not hit the player, so rather than getting to first maybe being hit by pitch should give a run (when the pitch is outside the strike zone on the players side) meaning if the pitch is good but a player is hit (diving into it) it doesn't count
the second part is already like that ((diving into it) it doesn't count)... The first makes sense but it changes too much the baseball statistics and the history, so it better get more penalized instead
This is absolutely ridiculous
"Pitchers should be good enough to not hit the player"
So players can completely crowd the plate
So pitchers apparently aren't throwing 95 mph anymore
So pitchers can't ever lose grip
So pitchers can't ever throw a bad breaking ball that doesn't break
There's no way you're actually a baseball fan and said this
@@BKDBut of course limits exist
The same argument happens in Formula 1 where drivers keep cutting corners until they get to a street circuit
If the boundaries are there they can stay within them
@@bilboswaggings that's not about limits. that's about fundamentally changing everything about pitching and hitting
You're ridiculously good at making these videos- thank you.
Could you do a video talking about the 2021 World Series run more in depth?
There is also a lot of unexplainable coincidences that say Hank Aaron helped influence the luck involved in it. The braves had 44 wins before and after the all star break and 44 was on the field all year. He also passed away in 2021 in Atlanta. Just saying, I think it is a fantastic video idea.
Bro, acuna trying to get the picture with the kid as he's getting dragged off the field is hilarious

I love acuna!! My favorite player in baseball right now. Nice video.
I love the player-focused videos. Very fun to track a player’s journey.

What an unbelievable story, true greatness has been witnessed !!!!😮

istg i love this channel sm
As a Braves fan, all I can say is, I'm glad he's playing for my team. Last year was wonderful to watch this young man set records I never thought I'd ever see in my lifetime. He is fun to watch.
I didn't realise baseball was this fascinating!
Ronald Acuna Jr. WOW!
I love the Braves too. Acuña didn’t jack up to his potential lightning speed until he hit the bigs. He learned it by making rookie mistakes and getting better from that.
Acuna is the bane of every "unwritten rule" thumping boomer baseball fan.
And that's why I love him.
Yeap bitch pitcher generation is dying. New gen is breathing life into the sport.
You need players like him if the game is going to survive.People attention span is much shorter today than it was back in the Roberto Clemente Days
