The way video games mechanics work, it may take a Jordan Hicks fastball to Yadier Molina to even make it possible to throw him out, unless you do something stupid like leave too soon, fail to take a leadoff, or try to steal home.
I was trying to figure out who in central jersey he was setting up to get phone spammed and found this out. Really well played Also extremely relevant: oldtimefamilybaseball.com/post/41062072860/grant-brisbee-patience
Hold up that makes no sense if his OBP was 609 and his SLG was 812 then his OPS would be 1421 not 1422 Edit: I looked it up and it says his OPS was 1422 so can someone please explain
TimmyLo is such a solid ballplayer too. He doesn't make stupid mistakes and he can play almost anywhere. He's just a smart guy with a lot of guts and it's good to be a Diamondbacks fan with him on the team.
Tim Locastro was my brother in law’s college roommate. They are still very close , they hung out this past weekend and he is one of the most humble guys you’ll ever meet. Love this video
I love that Locastro literally doesn’t move when he sees a ball about to hit him. Most players try to move out of the way, or protect themselves. Tim just lets it happen.
Because those balls hurt when thrown by professional pitchers lol, especially if they hit a fleshy bit. That Locastro ran that fast after getting pegged in the thigh or leg so often was pretty amazing.
When you said learned how to steal first my mind came up with him intentionally swinging at balls in the dirt and swinging and then running before it’s even in the catchers mit😂
I actually did that once in little league. It was my proudest moment. I couldn’t hit for shit, and the pitcher was really fast, so when he put a ball in the dirt and wide, I just waved my bat and bolted. I was safe too.
He finally got caught today, 4/17/2021. Nationals catcher Yan Gomes was asked how he felt about stopping Locastro’s run. “I kind of feel bad that I did,” he said with a smile.
@@FoolishBaseball Really good stuff. MLB should hire you, would really help fans appreciate the skill sets of players more. You've got yourself a new sub.
Love your videos! They have opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at Baseball and reignited my passion for the game. Seriously I am totally obsessed with your channel it's really fantastic 👏
He's already been hit 3 times and he's had 4 PA's this year lol. He's basically leaning into them at this point. But if they don't change the rules he's allowed to so
1:21 reminds me of a Calvin & Hobbes Calvin: 'Dad, what does "the ol' college try" mean?' Dad: 'Well, it means getting together with your buddies and eating pizza and drinking beer' Mom: 'that's not what it means!' Dad: 'pfft, Where did you go to college?'
When I was a kid, I asked my dad why players don't just try to get hit by the ball at the plate. He thought I was crazy. No one would try to get hit. I also asked him why more players don't just try to hit grounders or between outfielders rather than going for home runs. Something tells me, if I played baseball, I'd be playing like Locastro.
Coming back to this video after the Corbin Carroll video, ive gotta say FB, you were wrong. It wasnt in vogue 10 years later. It was in vogue only 4 years later
I was idly watching an 'overturned calls' supercut and noticed about 98% of them were at 1st. This got me thinking about all those past players that never got a chance to challenge. All of a sudden, i realised the challenge has completely, fundamentally changed the game. All those home calls, blown calls, famously flat out wrong decisions from history are all gone! And this vid is right, you are gonna see a lot more of these Lomachnko guys over the next few years because of the challenge. Good times for stolen bases and small ball.
>Mentions stealing first >Doesn’t mention Germany Schaefer >Misspells Hughie Jennings, the HBP god who played on the 1890s O’s >Unliked, unfavorited, unviewed still a great video though, these are consistently great
I spoke with Hughie, and he informed me that the "g" in his last name is optional. At least, that's what I think he said. His mouth was swollen from being pelted by so many pitches.
coming back to this video today, as tim locastro's record-setting stolen base streak is over. as a dbacks fan, this video is my favorite of yours, and tim is one of my favorite baseball players ever. the streak will be missed, but the fact that tim locastro's cleats are literally in the baseball hall of fame is objectively hilarious
Love a guy that just figures out a way to make it work and earn his spot. It is sad my Jay's don't have him anymore but as you pointed out at least they made a pretty good move with that bonus pool money.
I love seeing him successfully reach base on chops. I can't tell if it's an intentional strategy of his or not, but using chops has been something that I've wanted to see more speedsters try to use to get on base.
You take my like. You put it in a lockbox. 20 years from now when you're feeling down, you open that box, and boom. Instant love. You earned it, big guy.
Look at yourself. Now look at a stock photo of this mirror. I don’t know why I found that funny
Did you see your reflection?
No i didn’t. But I was looking for an unathletic out of shape guy.
Hey guy. Nice name
I was dying laughing
Thanks. What’s the E stand for bc we might have the same name all the way
I grew up with Tim. He’s from my hometown and his mom was my kindergarten teacher. Great to see him get some recognition!
Mike Clark neat
Was he good in Little League?
Did he take the bus to school or just run there because it was faster?
Tim was a few years ahead of me, so I didn’t get to play with or against him unfortunately
Foolish Baseball
Obviously he ran.
Tim Locastro *fastest man in baseball*
MLB The Show 19: Fastest man in baseball gets a 73 rating for speed and base stealing ability
SLIMZY McCRAZY his speed is 95 and basestealing is like 60-75
MLB the Show 20: 99 Speed
99 in 20
Billy Hamilton WAS the fastest
Whenever I play anybody I play as the diamondbacks so if I’m in a bad situation I can get a free player on 3rd
Congrats to Tim Locastro for breaking the MLB record, having stolen 28 straight bases to start his career without getting caught

Thats funny, I thought aww shit I know what team Im using the next time I play The Show!!!
He still hasn't been thrown out this season in real life
7:39
That number is Barry Bonds’ OBP/SLG/OPS in 2004. Love it.
