It's great that Mark Prior has peace with his career path, that shows a tremendous amount of character. But I still hate Dusty Baker for his part in this.
Without Dusty the Cubs don't make the playoffs that year. They had a terrible bullpen so he needed to ride his starters. Prior and Woods arms just couldn't hold up. I really don't think it was the pitch counts that did them in.
@@williamkoscielniak7871 Their bullpen was middle of the pack actually, not terrible. Dusty is a terrible manager who, with the right decision making, could've used his bullpen strategically especially since this was before the 3 batter minimum. Tony LaRussa invented the use of the modern bullpen strategy in the 2000s which is why he successfully led the Cardinals with sub-par teams to the playoffs every year.
Yeah he seems like a really good guy. As a Braves fan losing 3 straight to the Dodgers in '20 was traumatic but if there is ANY positive that came out of that it's Prior getting a ring. He deserved it.
His mechanics wasn't perfect. He had the inverted W thing, which puts a lot of stress on the pitching arm. He would have lasted much longer in the modern game with how much more they protect pitchers by limiting pitches.
Alex Gonzalez should be more of a scapegoat to losing that NLCS than a freaking fan who was just reacting to a baseball hit in foul territory pretty much hit right at him. That was a routine inning ending double play hes a professional and blew that. Steve Bartman was merely a paying fan.
ts a 100% on Dusty, and the fact that the same thing happened to Wood is proof. Back in Dusty's days guys often threw 130_ pitches, the game has changed big time these guys put so much more torque and strain on their arms. Using him like he did, coming off an arm injury and being in his second MLB season is inexcusable. Dusty Baker is teh worst manager in MLB history and he keeps getting jobs for ready to compete teams is because of one factor, see if you can guess.
125 a game was crazy even back then, idk if u guys ever played the show but it's damn near impossible to keep any pitcher in the game after 70-80 pitches
My all time favorite player after Ryne Sandberg. I went to see prior so many times that he knew who I was. I got over 40 autographs by him. 25 of them in person. The guy who used to park the player cars at Wrigley got to know me from going to so many games that he hooked me up with autographs. He would put items I wanted signed in Priors car and Mark would sign them after the game for me.
Having talented pitchers that show promise, make it to the big leagues, and contribute around a core of others to push a team far is rare. Then when all is said and done, the odds are only one if any of them will have a long and successful career. I am a Mariners fan and was devastated that we never got Felix Hernandez into a single playoff game. Now i look at our team in 2023 with a rotation that looks stacked with young talent and looks primed to dominate for years, but you just never know. Emjoy while it lasts i guess.

😂 pitchers are babied...pitch counts are bullshit...you realize pitchers are so babied you're lucky to get more than 5 innings from a starter...you have no clue what you're talking about
@@aaronsanborn4291 Except Woods and Prior weren't pitching 5 or 6 innings. They were both throwing 7 or 8, many times complete games every start. Over 100 pitches every time they took the mound. Pretty sure it's you that doesn't know what you are talking about. In 2003 alone they both threw over 200 innings.
A great video would be one on all the young pitchers with great stuff and potential, but whose careers were cut short and/or compromised by arm trouble. I remember guys like Frank Tanana, Mario Soto, Wayne Simpson, Gary Nolan, who had superstar stuff, but then lost it due to arm trouble. Some of these guys had long careers, but without a killer heater, not great careers.
Heard a national radio interview with Black Jack McDowell in early 2000s. He said he was worried about Prior's reputation because Prior was getting the same injuries as players who used Roids. He was worried people might start thinking Prior was using them too.

I can answer that and his name is Dusty Baker. As a cardinals fan, I was worried after 2003. The Cubs in 2003 had Prior, Kerry Wood, and Carlos Zambrano. And Ole Dusty screwed that up
Mark Prior, Kerry Wood, Carlos Zambrano and Matt Clement were the 4 Horsemen who should have been World Series Champions in 2003. A blind 3rd base umpire and a lazy Dusty Baker blew the most controversial call in baseball history, suffering Cub fans would have to wait 13 long years to finally get their day.
A blind 3rd base umpire? You are a complete idiot. Alex S. Gonzalez is a choker who booted an easy ball, and opened the flood gates. Do NOT blame Steve Bartman for the Cubs incompetent play and choking deamenor
This 2003 NLCS really glossed over the TRUE breakout stud of the moment. That was Josh Beckett. In game 5, down 3-1 he took the ball, in what looked like a mere formality. After all, even if Florida wins, they have to beat Prior and Wood who are locked and loaded for games at Wrigley. Beckett calmly dismantled the Cubs with a two hitter that is, to this day, the most dominant performance Ive ever seen by a pitcher outside of Kerry Wood's 20K epic, and well...pretty much any playoff start by Madison Bumgarner.
The collision at second base started the problems. Like Dizzy Dean whose toe was broken from a line drive and his mechanics changed, something happened with Prior. Either there was some slight change in his delivery or there was some sort fear in the very back of his mind. Kerry Wood was very hard on his elbow. Prior was not.
I moved from Chicago to Jackson Tennessee for a minute, and I got to see prior do his babe ruth impersonation for the minor league diamond jaxx, I moved back home in time to get my heart broke in '03
@@vinsel That’s not what caused the injuries 🤦♂️. For one thing Baker overused, which you can’t necessarily blame because prior had lots of talent, but him causing him to get injured. Another thing is that he’s been hit with a line drive which also wasn’t good for him. He was also in a bad collision too. Lots of these things are in. the. video.
Well, as teh video says, his mechanics weren't good at all. HE was so strong with such powerful leg drive, it masked bad mechanics, Dusty abusing him didn't help
@@Chasstful Pitching is an unnatural motion for the body. There is no such thing as perfect mechanics. It is a spectrum from increased injury risk mechanics to minimized injury risk mechanics. No matter what the risk is always there. That is why i am a believer in building around position players.

actually, Pryor's mechanics were really bad. He was so big and strong with such powerful leg drive, it covered up really suspect mechanics. Dusty made it worse
Not sure why you included the Batman thing. Had nothing to do with anything. He allowed a double to Pierre to start the inning and went from 0-2 on Castillo to 3-2 cause he was tiring. You can't tell me that Batman is the reason he hung a curve ball to Rodriguez.
The 2002 Giants managed by Dusty Baker also blew game 5 against the Angels in the series when Dusty was trying to hand out game balls to Ortiz up by 5 only for the angels to come back and win the series what an idiot 2003 the Cubs had modern day Drysdale and Koufax and Dusty still found a way to screw that series up against the Marlins just use the worst in-game manager of all time . As far as Mark Pryor same thing that happened to Carrie Wood Dusty had those guys pitching until their arms fell off. Inverted w? After blowing that 2003 series the year before Dusty was desperate he overworked those guys to their arms fell off what a total idiot. And how did you not beat the Atlanta braves last year with the number one defense in offense in the league good God
Had to stop watching it to the point when Mark prior to the pitch and hit toward the foul line I just got rid of the video I can't watch it anymore too much pain
Mark Prior was ORIGINALLY drafted by the NY Yankees in 1998 but didn't sign.That Pirates team for that time was garbage and would strike out trying to hit a bee with the bat. Prior's injury problem was Prior himself. The only people saying he had perfect pitching motion were the Cubs and their announcers. Other teams seen his motion and seen the flaw that Markie ignored when he was told by Billy Cox. Kerry Wood developed the very same problem but too ignored it. They thought they knew more than a very successful major league pitching coach who tried to help. They started planting their left leg, landing leg slightly towards to right-handed hitting box which then caused them to throw back across their bodies to hit the middle of the plate or the LH side of the plate. That really didn't effect curveballs or inside fastballs to righties. What it did do is put all of the stress of throwing sliders and inside pitches to lefties on the right elbows. That leads to Tommy John surgeries and different types of shoulder injuries, torn Labrum to Rotator Cuff repairs. Both Kerry and Markie refereed to by many fans in Chicago as the MASH unit because they were injured but never trierd to listen to what the problem was.....themselves. Kerry got it when he went to Cleveland and became the closer, to late in his career to try and start again. Mark just went on and on in his dream world that he was perfect, even today he refuses to admit it was his own motion that caused all of his serious issues. Mark Prior and Stephen Strasburg had mirror early careers, Stephen got it before he completely killed his arm, until 2010 Stephen started 12 games, 2011 he only started 2 but then it took off in 2012 where he started 20-30 games per year until 2020 and this "pandemic" hit. 21 he started 2 games and 2121 5 games. He got the message and fixed the problem, to bad Prior was so stupid and egotistical, he COULD'VE been great.
Love your content bro but I can’t stand the way you talk it’s so slow, I watch all your vids in 1.25 to make it sound better no offense just might want to tighten that up.
Mark Priors poor mechanics that he had since his USC days are what happened to him. Dusty did him no favors but he is ultimately not to blame for his problems.
Napolean Dynamite does a fine job in this doc, never knew he was in to baseball so much?
ok I knew I wasn't the only one thinking that lol
oof
I was thinking it, you thought of it first.

How could you hate Dusty when Mark Prior said he doesn't blame him!? U need to look in the mirror.
Racist bigot
Dude. Injury was absolutely the only thing that could stop him. IT IS ALL DUSTY BAKER'S FAULT
No it was without a doubt his mechanics.. He was very upright, got little leg drive which forced him to throw across his body..
This 16 minute video could have been summarized by just commenting "Dusty Baker happened to Mark Prior".
That narrative is false. Priors mechanics made injury inevitable.
Dusty Baker burned his arm out..look at the amount of innings he pitched end of 03..Dusty was always slow on the hook
Fuk dusty baker he sucked he screwed up prior and kid k! Dusty made bad calls
Mark Prior had his first DL stint before Dusty. And his problems were inevitable regardless of who his manager was.
His mechanics wasn't perfect. He had the inverted W thing, which puts a lot of stress on the pitching arm. He would have lasted much longer in the modern game with how much more they protect pitchers by limiting pitches.
Yeah don’t listen to facts just use a scapegoat… 🙄
Alex Gonzalez should be more of a scapegoat to losing that NLCS than a freaking fan who was just reacting to a baseball hit in foul territory pretty much hit right at him. That was a routine inning ending double play hes a professional and blew that. Steve Bartman was merely a paying fan.
Also that he wasn't even the only one reaching for the ball
Actually you're right... I still remember that double play ball. It was an ez grounder.
I remember that year perfectly. The cubs would be up by 8 runs in a game in july and baker would leave him in to throw 125 pitches. FOR NO REASON

Kerry Wood and Mark Prior are prime examples of why you do not give young pitchers big contracts, no matter how much potential they might have.
especially not when Dusty Baker is your manager

If youre a Cardinals fan you must remember Anthony Reyes right? USC product just like Prior.
No... it's was Mark Prior mechanics
