- While he's more remembered for his explosive personality, Carlos Gomez was truly one of the best power-speed threats in baseball in his peak. But how good was he for the Milwaukee Brewers?

Those early 2010s Brewers had such an interesting group of players personality wise and were really fun to watch on the field. Gomez, Nyjer Morgan, Greinke, K-Rod, Braun, Prince Fielder etc. made them really memorable (or more specifically infamous in some cases) for me
I’ll always remember that 2011 run fondly
Tony Plush! Beast Mode! Damn that was a fun team to watch
I’ve always been a Yankees fan I Go to opening every year through & Through but those Brewers w All them AND CC made me a Fan of the brew Crew & Mike Cameron to
@@YOUNGPADAWON thanks for having more money to offer CC ya jerks lol
@@jbj7599 I’m sorry 😭 But CC is one of my favorite Pitchers I was So hyped when he Signed
Honestly a brewers legend for many younger fans back then. Miss my childhood 2011 run that’s was memorable
As a Yankees fan who childhood run was 4 titles in 5 years n the only 3 peat in 50 years..... I feel spoiled rotten compared to u lmfao
No but fr I like the brewers loved fielder n cc that half season. 2008 brewers were my favorite
SO true
It’s about time someone said something about my guy Gomez
Frrrr
I credit Carlos with completely changing my opinion on “showboating” players.
It’s 2014: Brewers vs Mets. Miller Park. Carlos comes to the plate in a tie game, I wanna say 5th or 7th inning.
I didn’t like Carlos, I’ve always been kind of an old soul for a kid (15) at that time.
He hits a CLUTCH home run to put them ahead with a huge momentum shifting blast. The crowd goes apeshit crazy cheering their heads off and their hearts out. I see that grin of his as he pimps out the celebration as he rounds the bases, and gave me a memory I will never forget
I used to love this man on the older MLB the shows, miss watching him play no matter what team he’s on
As a young kid I loved Carlos “Go Go” Gomez when the twins had him. So fun to watch and happy he had some good years with the Brewers.
Loved him as a player he was one of them guys that made it look so much fun regardless of If other teams/old heads hated him lol
You always see the "Idk how this channel isn't bigger" comments and roll your eyes but I think in this scenario it fits. Love the work man
He was my favorite twin for the longest time. Was definitely sad when he left. He was so much fun to watch. I was at game 163 against the tigers. Easily one of my favorite sports memories
Love this video’s direction. Gomez was a such a burning star when on the field, and this video really captured that energy.
Question for ya: Whatever happened to Mike Tauchman and why did he have a crazy 2018 season (over 4.0 WAR in 87 games?)
Keep up the great work my man!
Such an interesting note to hear about Henderson's influence as a coach on young players!
I loved seeing him in Appleton with the timber rattlers and swinging out of his helmet with the Brewers. He brought a new level of passion. It reminds me of Daniel Vogelbach.
I swear, I look something up one day, 1-2 weeks later you got a vid about lol
Needed this right now because the brewers are unwatchable currently
When I was younger I loved to see how he did or what beef did he start
Gomez is 1 of thoes players on why baseball is what it is and why we all love it :), this was a really cool and fun video to watched and I subbed!
i always really like gomez at the meta thanks for doing this
I don’t usually comment but I’ve been subbed since u had around 1k subs and still enjoy all ur content. Keep up the great work !
"Yi Yi Yi, I'm backkkk" loll loved this dude, and was glad to see him make a brief return to the Mets.
Carlos Gomez’s career is literally a mets sandwich lmao
Probably one of the most popular modern Brewers players. Fans still love him
Great video, Jolly!
My favorite moment as a Twins fan was the 2009 game 163 tiebreaker where Alexi Casilla got the game winning hit and scored Carlos Gomez. I was born in 1995 so that game in 2009 was my World Series. The image of Gomez diving into home in the bottom of the 12th, leaping up, and slamming his helmet on the ground is seared into my brain, it was the loudest I ever heard the Metrodome get besides what I saw on my mom's highlight tapes from the 1987 and 1991 World Series. I was already a fan of Gomez before this moment, but I just remember being so sad when we traded him, a lot of it was because he is tied to my best experience as a Twins fan. The pain was lessened because he went to Milwaukee so I knew I'd see him play my team twice a year and then see him again whenever I visited my relatives in Wisconsin. He is definitely one of those players where I was sad to see him go, but happy to see him find his place.
I was just about to ask for a video about him literally yesterday. Blessed
Gomez will always be my SO's favorite player. Since he won her $500 for hitting a home run during a Sonic slam inning.
Glad to be a new sub, Jolly! I love these types of videos. Player profiles are always fascinating to me. Even though I don't even watch any MLB. People like you present the stuff in an easily digestible way, and an entertaining way too.
You a brewer fan? If not it's amazing how well you capture the feeling of the fans between this and the CC Sabathia video
Lifelong Brewers fan here.
Great video! Surprised, however, that you didn't mention CarGo scoring the winning run against the DBacks in the 2011 NLDS game 5, our first playoff series win since '82!
I idolized this man growing up, he was such a sparkplug for the early years of my Brewer fandom.
i love him as a player and person so much he doesnt take shit from ppl one of the few in the earlier 2010s to not be a rock that can move athletically and he was really good for a few seasons some of those game saving home run robberies are one of my favorite highlight plays of any player
I loved following his career. Always played the game with so much personality.
Gomez was a legend
as a kid who watched him play on tv all the time he quickly became my favorite player that wasn’t on the team i support and this is still the case today, nobody will ever come close to him for me
Gomez was fun to watch even when he wasn't very good on offense in Minnesota his flashed were crazy had me conviced he would be elite
As a Mets fan, I was very excited about Gomez's appearance and looked forward to seeing him perform at the Mets as he did in the Brewers. He could have been my favorite player, but things didn't go that way.
The curios career of Jolly Olive
one of my favorite players growing up as a brewers fan
BREWER'S NEVER ONE A WORLD SERIES'....THEY SUCK UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE..🧔
I loved watching Carlos when I was growing up. He was always one of my favorite Brewers and I would absolutely love to see him get a card in MLB the Show sometime soon :)
He was second in the NL in WAR in 2013 not sure if u mentioned that
I want to forget that trade happened as an Astros fan. Every piece we traded away panned out, in return we got a snitch and a guy who would rather fall down on his ass than hustle in an ALDS elimination game
As a Brewer fan I loved him he was great!
Baseball needs more personalities like this!
New sub! Liked
I Was at the game he hit for the cycle it was to bad he was such a caner in locker room could have been the next great Twins CF after Hunter
Spotted: Brewers Legends Donovan Hand, Burke Badenhop, Hector Gomez, Kyle Lohse, Wily Peralta, Yunieski Betancourt, and CC (as a Yankee)
Another w jolly olive vid, on a completely seperate note, JD Davis and Austin Riley's baseball savant pages are almost exactly the same, and JD is the most underrated player in baseball
HUGE SHOUT OUT TO U.
I seen what u did when u decided not to mention bonds name when listing who accomplished those 2013 numbers. U couldve been cheap n did it to highlight how special those numbers are in doing so but u went the hugh road.
Favorite player of all time
Gomez should’ve won the MVP that one year where he led the league in dWAR.
one of the most fun guys to watch
Brewers hero. Love him
Imagine a team with Joey Bats, Puig, and CarGo in the outfield
Carlos was one of my favorite players. And he never even played for my favorite team
I genuinely never understood the dislike he got. Even by 2014 standards, he really wasn't THAT controversial. And by around 2019/20 he wouldn't have even stood out in MLB.
But the bigger thing is that unlike most other players with that sort of controversial "attitude", he was actually consistently great. He wasn't hitting 2 home runs all year and acting like he was a big shot or something. He wasn't missing 100+ games a year with injury. He was giving 650 PAs of elite, 5 tool production each year of his peak. I could easily see why a player who sucked acting like Gomez would rub some the wrong way, but when you are a superstar you kinda are allowed to act like you own the place. At least more than the average player.
Also always seemed like a pretty cool dude off the field too
One thing about Cargo, even total non baseball fans had heard of him, even if they couldn’t pick his face out or a lineup. His name recognition was absolutely top tier, and that really speaks to how much fun he played the game with.
No one outside of maybe Milwaukee who never watched a baseball game knew hew Carlos Gomez was, lol
@@OccasionalNASCARRaces From South Florida, never watched a baseball game before watching Texas vs San Fran in the WS, and the only two players I could make were Roy Halladay, and Carlos Gomez.
His time in Minnesota is spot on. This is a guy who had a swing geared for power but they actively tried to make him hit groundballs and use his speed. That was the same ballclub that hated strikeout pitchers because they cost more money to retain. They were all sorts of bad back then.
They also told David Ortiz to hit a groundball to the right side with RISP instead of, you know, knocking them in. The Twins were so Mickey Mouse I wonder how they ever managed to make the playoffs to get rinsed by the Yankees.
Terry Ryan was doing that because home runs are expensive and the cheap ass owners wouldn’t pay for it
I used to like how he ran across the bases instead of jogging when he smacked homeruns. Goes to show his personality of being distinct
Jolly with another w
lol had to throw that plouffe clip in there 7:43
I once saw Gomez playing in a minor league game after his MLB career was over. He drives a ball deep to left center and goes crazy: 10 foot bat flip, shouting, pounding his chest, strutting to first base... and then turning his dumb ass around when the ball was caught a solid 15 feet in front of the wall.
I am a fan of his even after he left the Minnesota Twins, and I was pissed when we parted ways with him.
This guy was a fantasy baseball stud for a couple years and then a complete waste of a first round pick a year later lol. What a fun player
As a brewers fan I miss Carlos
the streets will never forget carlos gomez
hes one of those guys that feels forgotten about because he showed up before the league was ready for that kind of player. had he come up in today's home run focused environment i think hed have a better overall career instead of the relatively brief run he actually got as a star
I always mixed up Carlos Gomez and Carlos Gonzalez. But that's a guy who was also incredible with the Rockies, but dropped off the face of the planet overnight.
Both Cargos indeed...as a Rockies fan Gonzalez didn't have the longest career but for most of 10 years he was incredible at the plate and with his gold glove in right!
Do a vid on Nyjer Morgan
I'm pretty sure he's also Yadier Molina's kryptonite. Think he's like 12-0 or 13-0 stealing on him if im not mistaken
Ayyyy CarGo part 2 did I make tbis happen???
10:08 -- hilarious
Add Michael morse to players we forgot about
7:44 Gomez robs Trevor Plouffe
shit thats so awesome that he got a gold glove he totally deserved one....i liked him for that one season he was on the mets. i said to myself "the mets gotta trade him now or there gonna end up keeping him" and thats what they did. and im glad they did but still he was a good player i could always tell.
We all owe CarGo an apology. One of the most important players of the pre-let them play era. Him refusing to confirm his personality to the fun police of the time really got that movement off the ground
Showing up opponents is not fun. I apologize for nothing.
I fucking hate the bat flip/posing after homers aspect of baseball. I don't mind watching how far your dinger goes as you're trotting toward first, but I can't stand throwing your bat and/or standing in the box and watching the ball leave the park. Especially when the jackass didn't even hit the ball far enough to leave the park and it ends up hitting the wall, or worse, gets caught. It happened just last week with my favorite player Salvador Perez of my hometown and favorite (yet absolutely awful) Kansas City Royals. He show boated and watched the ball instead of hustling to first and ended up with an RBI single that hit off the top of the wall 380 feet away from home plate.
I don't care who you are, if I'm a manager and a player does that on my team--cracks one off the top of the wall and doesn't end up on second or third for no other reason than he wanted to look cool and not run after showing off his whopping warning track power--well your ass is sitting on the bench the rest of the game, if not the next game, too.
Ah yes. Carlos "Batbreaker" Gomez
Here on BBD’s recommendation
Wolly Wlive
Kinda feel bad for Gomez, he was one of those young players who wasn't being utilized or trained right. The Mets and Twins probably thought of him as a future lead off man or roll player, not as the 5-Tool All-Star he would become. If they looked at him differently I wonder if he would have exploded onto the scene at a younger age.
Its funny to watch someone who hits mid 20 HRs act like he is a super power hitter that hits bombs like the big boys....
Ten years ago 20 homer power was a more significant accolade than it is now
Paul hit Gomez several times before that game, there was clear history
Hate Carlos Gomez for 2 reasons.
1. We gave up Hader
2. Rat Fiers was a part of that deal.
The thing I most remember about Carlos Gomez is him being thicccc lol
8:00 wow that was so awesome. that must of made that girls night.
Jolly, if Gomez doesn't make the Hall of Fame, does he make the Hall of Good?
Jj hardy to William Contrereas in crazy
Is it fair to say he was Juan Soto before Juan Soto?
As a brewers fan I couldn’t stand his plate approach. One of the fastest guys in baseball, but let’s swing so hard for the fences he’s constantly falling over. I kept saying if he’d just make contact or drop a bunt, steal second, and it’s essentially a double.
Santana did NOT throw a no hitter, Beltran hit a fair ball. Fucking tired of this bullshit.
First
Ya just gloss over how the Astros should have beat the royals in the ALDS. Thanks carlos correa! Love your terrible glove!
i cant believe you just kinda glazed over his 2016.... He was HORRIBLE with the Astros... then comes to texas late, and completely redeemed himself there.. he was a big part of the rangers 2016 lineup... in 85 games with houston, he hit .210, with 5 HR, 29 RBI, and an OPS+ of 65...(OUCH)... however, *in* *only* *33* *games* *with* *the* *Rangers* , he hit .285, 8 HR, 24 RBI, and an OPS+ of 134!! (highest of his career) IN ALMOST ONE THIRD OF THE GAMES!!! He also had a decent 2017, and the year and a half he spent with the Rangers, he had the second best numbers with any team, by a lot.
Ye Ye Ye
He discovered his power stroke = roids?
Second
Third

stats dont make playerss great. what players do to win games makes them great. analytics doesnt make any sport great at all. so stupid. math nerds are just that. adding shit up and combining stats to make new stat figures is dumb and unneeded. nobody off the field does anything for any sport at all
"Let Gomez be Gomez"; "his more aggressive approach". Oh come on! Textbook case of a career altered by steroids.
He was so annoying and was so happy when he was out the game. The guy on a personal level is a POS as well.
