Jesus man, as a hard lifelong Tribe fan, watching Kluber go out every 5th day and dismantle lineups will be one of the best memories I have from 2011-2019. Dude was a serious machine.
Fun Fact: Stetson University is one of 2 colleges that have 2 multi time Cy Young award winners (DeGrom and Kluber). The other is USC (Randy Johnson and Tom Seaver). Also, I went to Stetson the year Logan Gilbert was drafted, and during my recruitment I watched him pitch and he was insane, I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins a couple Cy Young’s in the future
I worked at Stetson as an intern during the lockout and deGrom, Kluber and Gilbert all made visits to their alma mater. All very humble and nice guys, had great conversations with them about both baseball and life.
It's devastating we didn't win that 2016 World Series... I still have nightmares about it all these years later. Corey Kluber was my favorite player and is the guy who got me back into baseball.
My favorite Corey Kluber tidbit is that when the Yankees went to Texas to face the rangers they were giving away Corey Kluber bobble heads that they didn’t give away while he was there. They then proceeded to get no hit by him.
My favorite Cleveland Pitcher of the last decade for sure... Him, Cliff Lee, C.C Sabathia and Bartolo Colon ran our rotations throughout the good pitching years. Kluber's dominance will not be forgotten! #InKluberWeTrust #RallyTogether
Came back to this gem after his retirement As a Cleveland fan, will never forget his era of dominance on those great teams and helping to build the Cleveland pitching factory we know today. Thanks for the memories Klubot!
😂Jolly stole my word to comment about how my Rangers got played by it, like trade for the man but only pitched for you an inning, then no-hit you the next year. And yes, I am still so overjoyed on the WS title, all these misery just made it so much sweeter.
I worked for Fenway. Saw him doing bullpen the day after he got a W in game 4 and it was the most impressive thing I've seen. I didn't feel bad for the Red Sox after seeing that session.
When they announced Kluber was pitching that game 7 I thought it was a wrap for us as a cubs fan. He was something serious in the playoffs before that game.
Great video. Forgot to mention to add insult to injury Kluber's no hitter was on Kluber bobblehead night in Texas. They had one scheduled in 2020 but had to move it to 2021
Felix Hernandez had one bad start in mid-late Sept down the stretch against the Blue Jays in 2014 that cost him the AL Cy Young. After 2014, it was downhill for King Felix 😢
I mean- Porcello’s 2016 was on par with Kluber’s and Verlander’s. ERAs were 3.15/3.04/3.14 respectively. Both Porcello and Verlander pitched over 220 innings. And Porcello had the most wins. In a time when WAR wasn’t as big with the writers (not that it’s big now), it’s not a bad pick for the award.
For what it's worth, he has publicly mentioned that he's not a fan of the Klubot nickname. Cleveland media largely dropped it after he mentioned that, which is all Francisco Lindor needed to do before he called our fanbase "dumb" for calling him Frankie. But regardless I'm glad that more people will be able to reminisce in his absolute dominance like I did. Great stuff as always, Jolly.
Wow, I almost totally forgot about the 2016 run. Even down 2 starters, they took it to Game 7 of the World Series. Even more, I completely forgot the Blue Jays made it out of the Division round in the past 30 years!
Your klubvid brought me back to watching behind the catcher from visitor bullpen at salt river field AZ kluber warm up . What a sharp late break on pitches that seemed to explode on delivery.
A cool video idea (not sure if there is one already) but if you were to break down the most unlikely no hitter (quantifying barrels etc.) and most likely no hitter (but wasn’t a no hitter (in exception for the tigers pitcher))
From his dominance to his onfield demeanor, he reminded me so much of the late, great Corey Kluber. Of course we won’t see the greatness of Halladay reflect on Kluber’s career numbers like they did for Halladay because like many Terry Francona pupils, he had his best years when he was either making arbitration or had signed a ridiculously under market team deal. This ended Kluber’s prime much sooner than it should have and he never got that 9 figure contract he so sorely deserved. Francona is a great manager if you’re an owner or a fan. If you’re a player, not so much. He will run you into the ground uncle you scream “uncle”. Wonder how much George Kirby would’ve loved pitching for Tito
He seems like the kind of player either Tampa or the A's would take a stab at. Even for the Orioles, give him an invite to Spring Training and if he makes it, his experience can be valuable to a young club. Seems like a good guy to have around either way.
The Rays have already had him, and I don't think there's much interest in a reunion. He was mediocre and VERY hittable for us in 2022, and I didn't expect things to go any better for him for Boston in 2023, and no surprise, he was terrible. The guy's cooked I'd say unfortunately.
At the trop they sell game used balls in a mystery bag. Ended up getting a ball thrown by Kluber. A year after he threw the no-no with the yanks. I also have a ball thrown by Cole
Everytime Kluber faced the tigers i just turned the tv off. He literally diced them up every start and i hated the Indians/Guardians for the longest time until the Cubs beat them in the world series then i didnt care about them
Such a burnout and a letdown, but as a Boston fan, I knew he was going to suck this year. His World series performance was one for the ages. I hate that MLB is burning through pitchers these days, because they never last long anymore. If Kluber was playing 25 years ago, he would have had a 20 year career. Instead, teams are demanding more and more from pitchers so they get injured and end up on the hall of fame ballot before their first prostate exam.
Lol this video makes it seem like Rick porcello is some bum who got away with highway robbery but his numbers are practically identical to klubers in 2016
Shift his career forward a year or two, and honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised at them getting him for starter depth. As it stands though, seems unlikely the Orioles will want him.
Funny how many people are bringing up the Rays in the comments, because the one time I saw him pitch was when he was with the Rays… and it was the Reid Detmers no-hitter game, a game where Kluber gave up eight earned runs in just three innings of work. Absolutely depressing, he could have been a Hall of Famer and now never will. I hope he signs with the Dodgers or Brewers and they work his magic to save him, but the chances are slim, to say the least.
Ended up being Felix’s last chance at a 2nd Cy Young, I really thought he had it. Was shocked when they gave it to Kluber. Just another disappointment for M’s fans lol
Will Cleveland or Detroit ever get it together for a 🏆 world championship? 2024 at th earliest- 1948 gives you 76 years of incomplete 🐅 rebuilding for a lot of years now after spending 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
@@KneeDeep2231 JV already robbed cole of a cy young and ellsbury of an mvp he doesn’t deserve to get ANOTHER sympathy award. He and Porcello were basically tied in innings and era but Porcello had more wins and complete games so it isn’t as weird of a cy young as people think
i was gonna like the video until you started shilling for the sportsbooks... I know they pay extremely well but there's a reason for that. cashing checks made off the gambling losses of your fans is not good man.

It's devastating we didn't win that 2016 World Series... I still have nightmares about it all these years later. Corey Kluber was my favorite player and is the guy who got me back into baseball.
His 2016 postseason run was one of the best. Dude was lights out but overused
For weekly output, these videos are always such quality, even to a non-baseball fan like me. Love your narratives, keep it up bud :)

Don't forget nasty masty
I really appreciate the cuts to cringey ads the players have been in, top tier content
Trevor Plouffe sighting! 7:28
Came back to this gem after his retirement
As a Cleveland fan, will never forget his era of dominance on those great teams and helping to build the Cleveland pitching factory we know today. Thanks for the memories Klubot!

Blake snell is now one of the 6 active with multiple cy youngs
One of my favourite pitchers ever. Thanks for this great recap

In a time when WAR wasn’t as big with the writers (not that it’s big now), it’s not a bad pick for the award.
Certainly a better pick than Bartolo Colon over Johan Santana in ‘05. One of the worst Cy Young snubs ever.
For what it's worth, he has publicly mentioned that he's not a fan of the Klubot nickname. Cleveland media largely dropped it after he mentioned that, which is all Francisco Lindor needed to do before he called our fanbase "dumb" for calling him Frankie.
But regardless I'm glad that more people will be able to reminisce in his absolute dominance like I did. Great stuff as always, Jolly.
Thank you jolly ! One of the most underrated of all time
Wow, I almost totally forgot about the 2016 run. Even down 2 starters, they took it to Game 7 of the World Series. Even more, I completely forgot the Blue Jays made it out of the Division round in the past 30 years!
I think Kluber could go on to have a very successful coaching career. I wonder if he ends up doing that.
Your klubvid brought me back to watching behind the catcher from visitor bullpen at salt river field AZ kluber warm up . What a sharp late break on pitches that seemed to explode on delivery.
A cool video idea (not sure if there is one already) but if you were to break down the most unlikely no hitter (quantifying barrels etc.) and most likely no hitter (but wasn’t a no hitter (in exception for the tigers pitcher))
Gave me fits in the show. True savage
HELL YES!!! I love Klubot! Eager to watch this!!
Killing it with these videos lately. You should do a Rise and Fall of Jake Arrieta
From his dominance to his onfield demeanor, he reminded me so much of the late, great Corey Kluber.
Of course we won’t see the greatness of Halladay reflect on Kluber’s career numbers like they did for Halladay because like many Terry Francona pupils, he had his best years when he was either making arbitration or had signed a ridiculously under market team deal.

Francona is a great manager if you’re an owner or a fan. If you’re a player, not so much. He will run you into the ground uncle you scream “uncle”.
Wonder how much George Kirby would’ve loved pitching for Tito
I will not accept Rick Porcello slander on the timeline 😂
this is so high quality
Love ads with players in them. Reminds me of the pedro ad in foolish baseball pedro video. great stuff.
He seems like the kind of player either Tampa or the A's would take a stab at. Even for the Orioles, give him an invite to Spring Training and if he makes it, his experience can be valuable to a young club. Seems like a good guy to have around either way.

I remember adding this guy in 2014 on fantasy. Talk about an emerging star! Miss seeing him do well!
Everytime Kluber faced the tigers i just turned the tv off. He literally diced them up every start and i hated the Indians/Guardians for the longest time until the Cubs beat them in the world series then i didnt care about them
Great vid Mr Olive thank you
Great video as always
“Career of Yu Darvish”! 🤘🏻
Red Sox legend
Red Sox hall of famer
He did have that 1 quality start in Baltimore.
Cleveland has the following Cy Young winners: Gaylord Perry, CC Sabathia, Cliff Lee, Kluber, Kluber, Shane Bieber)
That is bonkers to me.
It’s crazy that he was so good for 5 years it should be enough for him to make it to the hall
I like how you threw that backward “K” to Plouffe in there 😂
Kluber felt like the grim reaper during the World Series as a cubs fan
7:28 Look at that handsome son of a gun striking out. Hottest guy to ever strike out ;) What up Coach Trev!
I enjoyed Cliff Lee immensely. But klubot was exceptionally tough as well
7:28
Doing your coworker dirty there Jolly. Eh. I’m here for it.
that front door sinker was nasty
My favorite pitcher to watch
Another big win for jolly olive

Another evidence that Jolly Olive hates the Red Sox: shows us how great Kluber has been except his stint with the Sox 😂
Love the clip of Plouffe getting struck out
There’s 6 active now with Blake Snell
Kluber was good but Jack “Jack” Olive reached a dominant level hitherto unforeseen
snuck in the clip of him punching out plouffe
Lol this video makes it seem like Rick porcello is some bum who got away with highway robbery but his numbers are practically identical to klubers in 2016
Christy Mathewson had to be doing some wizardry on the mound!
He was always so cool, and I'll never forget watching the no hitter. Orioles contract for the AL East sweep?
Shift his career forward a year or two, and honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised at them getting him for starter depth. As it stands though, seems unlikely the Orioles will want him.
Ryan Merritt had a 1.71 career ERA in 31.2 IP
Hi Jolly! You should do a video on Ruben Niebla
Finding those corny local tv commercials are the knucklecurve to these videos.
Won’t be a hall of famer, but will be remembered in Cleveland
Realistically, cluber didn’t get robbed in 2016. You could argue he was better than porcello, but I’m still taking JV and Britton’s seasons over his.
Funny how many people are bringing up the Rays in the comments, because the one time I saw him pitch was when he was with the Rays… and it was the Reid Detmers no-hitter game, a game where Kluber gave up eight earned runs in just three innings of work. Absolutely depressing, he could have been a Hall of Famer and now never will. I hope he signs with the Dodgers or Brewers and they work his magic to save him, but the chances are slim, to say the least.
Yeah, Kluber was not at all good for us that year. Was quite happy when the Rays let him go in free agency without doing much to resign him.
Wooops - ever heard of Blake Snell? I thought maybe this video was from a couple months ago, but it was literally posted an hour ago
you should do a video on dustin pedroia
Klubers mechanics make my shoulder hurt
Can you Jose Fernandez next please I’m a big marlins fan and this guy could have been the greatest pitcher of all time of all time
I knew Kluber was done when Oscar Gonzalez smashed that Game winner in 2022 off him to get Cleveland to the Division series
Video for Todd Helton please!!!
You should make a video like this about Chris Sale. He's maybe the best pitcher of his generation to not win a Cy Young.
Great video but you forgot to mention his father Mariekson Julius Gregorius
Bring back shea station Jolly!!
Watching this after his retirement 😊
As a Mariners fan, I still feel the Kluber robbed Felix of his second Cy young...
Ended up being Felix’s last chance at a 2nd Cy Young, I really thought he had it. Was shocked when they gave it to Kluber. Just another disappointment for M’s fans lol
I will die on the hill that Félix should've won the 2014 Cy Young. Got robbed.
Cards could use him as a bullpen piece
Despite all of this dominance, MLB the show never made his last name usable in RTTS. Sad!
Rays Legend
I completely forgot Kluber was a Ranger, lol!
Clase for one inning of Kluber will forever be a least favorite Rangers trade ever.
Plouffe got reeeekt

Please do not disrespect MY 2016 cy young award winner Rick Porcello
We do not lol, should’ve been JV

Why do i feel jolly is salty about the rangers lol
Don’t disrespect playoff legend Ian Anderson like that.

bro the moan💀

Klubot.... it will always be the indians... not the guardians
Any video of a pitcher striking Chris Davis out should not count as “success”
i was gonna like the video until you started shilling for the sportsbooks... I know they pay extremely well but there's a reason for that. cashing checks made off the gambling losses of your fans is not good man.
first
One of the best pitchers of the 2010s, def top 6. Behind kersh, bumgarner, and scherzer. Dudes stuff was disgusting
Come back to Cleveland end your Career here klubot
He robbed Felix of his second cy young in 2014
he was better than felix
Felix had one bad start vs the Blue Jays in September 2014 that cost him the Cy Young
