Relievers could very well still win the Cy Young and walk away with both awards but that would just go to prove how absolutely lights out they were all season long.

@@LeoKinhgTuck fouled off a bunch of pitches up in the zone so I’m sure Bautista thought he could sneak one low at 100, but unfortunately for him, that is Tuck’s wheelhouse. His swing is such a long sweeping swing that high is typically the best way to go, but Bautista threw so many up that he must have felt he had to do something different. Really just a great at bat by Tuck to battle till he got what he wanted.
Kyle tucker breaks people man. Seeing him go against the angels and winning the game with a crazy right field catch definitely cements the point, you can never count the ‘stros out!
Imma count them out this season. Losing to what’s supposed to be their little kid the Yankees when they could’ve took first place in the west looks like the franchise built on cheating is crashing down.
You could just tell he was out if it this game. His location was off, he wasn't feeling his splitter. It happens to him every once in a while and you always know it isn't going to end well. Sucks his season is basically over now
I’m an O’s fan so I gotta defend my boy real quick. Bad video title, you act as if the pitch was the reason for the grand slam yet speak nothing about it. Instead you mention the swing multiple times. This is baseball. Things happen that you can’t help. It’s never about one pitch. Season ain’t over yet, let’s see what happens

Who do you think will win the NL CY young. The options should be clear. Josh Hader or Blake Snell. Not even a padres fan but I mean cmon just look at their stats this season.
Steele absolutely deserves consideration in the NL, it’s delusional to think otherwise. Just behind Snell in ERA, more Ws, higher WHIP, 1/3rd the walks, and a higher era+. Snell is having a phenomenal season. But Steele is right there and if he continues to pitch the cubs into contention for the Central, he could easily take it.
Sorry-this is just a silly take. A season of dominance isn't going to be sidetracked by one swing, and it isn't like Tucker isn't a budding superstar himself. The award is given for a whole season, not for one blown save. How about approaching this from the angle that the Orioles would not be where they are without having Bautista to close out games?
Baseball is a game that will humble any player.. its only a matter of time before you fail in baseball.. how you adjust to those failures is what defines you as a player.. baseball is a game that imitates real life in that regard
He loaded the bases on 4 batters and threw 9 pitches to a single batter that wore him down causing him to throw a cookie down the middle to get jacked. Forgive me, but all that took a lot more than one pitch. This would would be like saying “the straw that broke the camels back,” while ignoring all the rest of the weight the camel was carrying.
What sucks is that Gerrit Cole will win it, despite his team having their worst season since the early 90s, and Bautista will miss out, even if he helps the Orioles win the East by 1 or 2 games over TB. Even if it isn’t Bautista, it shouldn’t be Cole. He gets massacred by the Red Sox every time he pitches against them. The awards outside of a historic season should go to the player who helped their team win the most, not an out of contention team
nice take, delete the comment cause he’s out for the season. Oh and yeah they should change the cy young award to look exclusively at outings vs Red Sox, those are most important
@@chuckyboy1217 what...? Lmfao...1. How is that coping... 2. That's literally what you said, i just pointed out how ridiculous it was to read. 3. Im an O's fan
Well, you're wrong. His success is because he has 100+ mph speed and then a sinker that drops off the table at 95. And he is so big that he's not throwing from 60'6" but closer to 50'. Batters can't tell the difference, so they have to gear up to hit the 102mph heater down the center, and instead it's 95. They've already started to swing and 1) the pitch is that much slower and 2) it just drops. Look for the sinker, and he'll hit you with the fastball in the zone. I've seen him get a guy by pumping 3 fastballs across the plate, getting faster each time, and I've seen him throw 3 sinkers that dart out of the heart of the plate and have gotten swings, and some that dart down and still stay in the zone. A good deal of this is pitch selection - largely Rutschman. Every once in awhile, the batter guesses right and makes solid contact.
You're right, it's a splitter not a sinker. Still comes in at 90mph and drops. It's enough action and a big enough change in velocity that a lot of batters flail against it. He can drop it in for a called strike and he can get batters to chase it as it falls out of the zone. At the same time, he can pump a 100+ down the heart of the plate, or low, or high. The difference between the two means hitters have a hard time figuring out how to approach it, and they often have to guess. The assertion that he "barely throws any strikes" and if hitters just laid off they'd walk is ludicrous. He does throw strikes - and some of those are because they are guessing fastball and start their swing, and then the ball drops out of the zone, making it look like they didn't lay off. I've also seen it where they were clearly guessing splitter and the ball goes center center and they never get the bat off their shoulder.
@@NoelSchively Yeah imagine writing an entire paragraph, starting off by telling someone else they're wrong, just to be wrong about the pitch, which is what holds your argument together. Your entire "analysis" of this player is wrong, nothing you say holds any merit. Take a seat, like Felix will be doing for the remainder of the season, and the beginning of next season.
Eckersly and Gagne the only to RP to ever win it.. very hard for a closer or RP to win the cy young. Especially when you look at all the starting pitchers this year who are in the race for it. Doubtful he would have even been considered in the top 5 for the award this year. Amazing closer but very hard to do.
@@asidck that’s the point. Coming in for (maybe) 1 inning is every other day with full stamina is nowhere near the level of skill it takes to throw possibly 90+ pitches every 5 days
