saved his reputation? according to who? he still gets plenty of cheater/buzzer comments on literally any piece of media that involves him

He didn't save his reputation. He is a cheater. Always will be.

At 4:10, you mean to say he almost double the league average in strikeout rate

How come he weighed 180 when he started and when he hit 73 hrs he was 37 and was 240? Oh it was not steroids?

You’re my favorite baseball creator glad to have you back man. I was wondering if you could do an updated top 30 players that you would build a franchise around like the one from 2 years ago?

The problem is what the problem always was. No matter how you evaluate your players, once everyone knows who is the best, the top team in the league is gonna be able to buy them out from under you. The new system worked as long as no one knew about it. But once everyone DID know about it, they can do it too. And they can still outbuy you.

Have you considered enunciating words properly so people can understand you? Perhaps a less robotic delivery?

Great video thanks. I know he is one of the greatest but its hard to find videos on him, so thank you!!

Moneyball worked as long as other teams weren't using it. Now it's just another way to evaluate players.

Moneyball never worked because Fisher bought the team and squashed it. The entire dismantling of it started in 2014 when the A's were the best team in the game at the time and we traded Cepedes for Lester for only half a season as the next off season he went back to the Red Sox. We were a shoe-in for a championship run that year and Fisher destroyed it and continued to squash any new stadium build in Oakland for the 20 years he's had the team. Moneyball was used with owners who loved the team and city, but lacked the bankroll needed. Hence Fisher being the 16th richest owner we were hopeful but at every corner would not invest in the team period. The amount of talent that has come through the A's only for the prime years to be used else where is an absolute crime to the fan base and so we stopped showing up. He killed the fan base for him to get even richer. I don't get it you've got plenty of money why do you need to make more at the expense of a local economy and a loyal blue collar fan base? It's a sad situation and can't be an A's fan until Fisher is gone.

Dodgers

Lmfao he doesn't even have Hof stats facts over paid cry baby facts

Prime Pedro is the greatest pitcher to ever play baseball

People something important to remember, His genetics, his fingers are extra long and flexible

My Starting 5 Rotation - Greg Maddox, Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, Jacob DeGrom, Tom Sever and Mario Rivera as the closer.

Living in Massachusetts and working in Boston, NOBODY missed a pedro start. Must see TV 📺, insane ratings. It was comparable to a nfl game. All of Massachusetts watched when pedro pitched

Well rendon and ohtani have rings trout doesn't oh, pujols got rings too. So the talent around him was great, pitching not so much

yeah way go oaklamd yeah

yeah way go as

slow down when u talking brother

Just here to remind everyone that Nolan Ryan never won a cy young.

Pedro's K% was approximately 100% greater than league average, not 50% in 1997

forever my favorite angels player he's loyal

Best fastball that anyone has ever seen? I think you all talk like cleft assholes when masturbation sounds like that. No its NOT the best fastball in the world. Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson and Sandy Colfax are pretty hard to deny that they had the best fast ball of all time. This guy can use stickum and have a sticky baseball so not it won't be the same in the Show. He is not better than Shohei Otani's 103 ball . The best pitcher in the world right now is NOT from Japan. He is is about to win the Cy Young and I would take him every single time if I had to choose between the two . Skubal is the best complete pitcher in baseball. I do not believe that anyone who watches the guy play could say otherwise. The guy is fantastic. Now if you wanted to say best available pitcher on the international marketplace I would agree but not the best in the world. Skenes is the real deal and there are many great pitchers in many places even Mexico has one guy I can think of that is one of those type players. if they have never won a Cy young they are not the best in the world because they have never played the best hitters. The best hitters in the world cannot hit Skenes. They can hit Yamamoto and Imanaga all over at times. So do not give me that song and dance. I would not even say that Sasaki is not even better than Jacob Misiorowski right now as far as talent goes and they throw the exact same fastball with similar windups and releases. I would say he is even with Mis right now but not better.

TWO WORDS ..PAUL SKENES . Sorry the best pitchers are in the MLB already. The Japan group is a nice addition but they are not better than the guys in the Show . Sorry they just are not . They fit in here but they are not the dominate pitchers you all make them out to be . Shohei Otani , Imanaga and the Yamamoto proved they come over and play well but not dominate until they learn how to actually pitch big league style or they tear themselves up like happened with Otani and will happen with Sasaki as his shoulder is already showing signs of going the bad way. They take a lot of work to make the MLB from Japan as the leagues may play the same sport but are not the same in anyway. They have the tools but until they come to the Bigs they are never complete.

What a G

Not 2027 but you will see him in MLB in 2025.

Ruined baseball. Oakland was ruined well before “money ball” days.

The strategy used for Moneyball was due to a shitty budget so they had to work with it, that's WHY it was used, it didn't ruin anything. They had 20 straight Wins as one of the lowest budget teams.

It's not surprising that a small, weak market like Oakland has had consistent losing teams. The way Baseball works it is so much easier to be in a market with lots of money available.

Today's A's collapse has nothing to do with moneyball. It has to do with the owner. BUT Moneyball did hurt the A's in the post season. I wrote an article on it showing why. The A's were great at drafting and getting young players. Problem is when they wanted big money they couldn't afford them anymore. With moneyball though in the regular season the A's relied on OB% which was greatly enhanced by HR's and walks. In the post season the pitching is far better and what are the two things that are harder to come by in the playoffs? Walks and Home runs. The A's did NOT manufacture runs. The way to beat the A's was simple. No walks and limit the hr's. During the regular season, many of the games the A's lost they had few walks or hr's. The games that they were given walks and home runs, they usually won. The problem is when you are in the playoffs those don't happen a lot so you need to steal bases and hit in the clutch with runners in scoring position and low avg. players don't often do it. How many times in the playoffs did Eric Chavez, or many of the other stars not hit with RISP. So many times. While the teams that had an expensive payroll, had guys that walked but they also could hit.

I'm sure you have a lot of good information to share here. you might want to consider speaking a little more slowly and clearly.

14:47 what is the music that begins to play in this section?

The writer that voted against Pedro, later on voted for Roger Clemens for MVP. Which explain , that racism had something to do with it.

Japan's Nolan Ryan

If I had a dollar for every lie you told in this video, I'd be able to pay off the national debt. Trout was NEVER the best player in baseball...heck, wasn't even the best player on his team. Those are myths. Guy K'd too much, just had an average arm in center, and What happened to all those stolen bases? Nope. Nice try, though.

sasaki would look good in a dodgers uniform, along with ohtani and yamamoto, a pitching powerhouse trifecta

It’s honestly wild how much success this team has had over the last 25 years.

Yeah but he’s sucked lately

He needs a breaking pitches at this point because every batters knows it’s gonna be a fastball no matter how hard he throws

Funny how he tried to load the bases last night for Ohtani

The Oakland fans don't hate the team, they hate the A's owner. Get your facts straight.

And now he blows every save. Even against the white sox.

How do you even have a hall of fame without players like Pete rose the all time hit leader, Barry bonds who is the only player I've ever seen that could pull a 100 mph fastball at his belt buckle out of the park, Roger clemens the owner of the most Cy young awards. Regardless of what people want to say about guys like these it's called the baseball hall of fame, yet some of its all time greatest players aren't in it.

Whatever the motivation, it appears that Mike spent too much time in the weight room. You don’t change your body type without chemical assistance. Is he better than Bo Jackson?

The fact he did this at the height of the steroid era will never not blow my damn mind. Pedro always made me proud to be a Red Sox fan.

Steroids baby babe Ruth #1

When i was like 11 or 12 years old it would have been in 2001, 2002. Me and my cousins all wrote a letter to our favorite baseball player. Mine ofcourse was Barry Bonds. I wrote the letter and my grandma sent them all out. A month or so later i get an autographed Barry Bonds baseball card sent back to my in the mail. Put Barry in the Hall of Fame already... its ridiculous he hasnt been voted in yet.... him and Pete Rose

Great video, thanks.

Great vid, learned a lot as a first year MLB fan
