So...who is going to be on the move tomorrow?
hopefully the nats
Bauer didnt cheat at all
Dawson Wright
Thor and Vargas. I don't think the Mets are buying, I just think they just want some pitching depth for the future.
Hopefully the Cardinals pick up a starter. They really need another left bullpen arm as well.
Vargas already gone
This man was a hall of fame talent
I really hate injuries that ruins careers
Jack Islanders 80 81 82 83 @David Wright
Flyguy Fam Ralph Kiner
Ken Griffey jr also comes to mind
was never an HoF candidate, only morons like you think that, lol
John Doe you’re stupid. He never said that he was a candidate. He just said that he had a talent and played like a hall of famer.
Troy, Ian Kinsler, and Dustin Pedroia. all nearly the same age, all all-stars, quickly fell
kinsler fell off much later. had an all star season 2016
Vision changes. When i was thirty I learned i needed glasses. Are these guys wearing contacts or are they playing with slightly blurry vision and it is just enough of a change they do not realize it.
@@el_duderino_man thats a possible explenation for decline , but injuries seemed to fit the bill better in this case. You can't play well if you can't even stay healthy enough to play.
If it was for Manny Machado being a dirty player, Pedy will still be solid.
Dustin Pedroia still very good
It's easy to forget just how good Tulo was in his prime. Same with David Wright. If not for injuries, both would have gone down as all-time greats at their positions
Outta Here Baseball not really. You need to check the numbers amongst 3rd basemen and SS ...all time greats not even close but good ball players who played the game yeah
Ryan Zimmerman fell off a cliff too
David Wright had the talent to be one of the best
Mike Selllybelly he’s just saying that they COULD have gone down as the all-time greatest; obviously, no guarantee but they had incredible potential and demonstrated upside.
@@wiltie2043 I think Wright and Tulo had a shot if not for the injuries. People forget how good a young Wright and Tulo were.
When Tulowitzki got the Cycle at Coors Field, it solidified his place as one of the best all-around shortstops in the MLB. Not only is he a gold glover, not only can he rake, but he also flew on the base paths. The envy of baseball. Now gone and forgotten. Truly tragic.
But you know thankfully he isn’t truly forgotten he’s gotten the respect of money as this whole comment section and video show
I didn't know getting the cycle makes you one of the best all around.
Coors Field is tied with Fenway for producing the most cycles, in spite of it being 87 years newer. Tells you something about the park's dimensions. That said, a sad career: he was always hurt.
Getting the cycle is an aberration of a game that is in love with stats, not something on the level of high skill. It's simply how the cards fell that night.
Not for nothing....But he did play for Colorado. Everyone hits in Coors Field. Look at Galarraga, L. Walker sheesh even Charlie Hayes once they played for the Rockies.
You came out of retirement to make a video about retirement
Damn RIGHT. Like a boss. @DawsonWright is a goat an thou shall not question the🐐🐐🐐'GoatBaseballRUclipsr' Daw man can retire an unretire any time he wants. MJ retired hella times an came back. U can do that when your a GOAT 😁😁😁🐐🐐🐐😈🤷🏻♂️🤦♂️😁😁😁🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

In 2016 the Blue Jays also made it to the ALCS, not just ALDS.
CrociatoAzzurro yup against the tribe
Tulo hit a 2 run homer in game 2 of the ALDS off Yu Darvish to help Toronto advance past Texas Rangers to the ALCS against Cleveland.
Man, i still think baseball is the best sport in the world
You are right
Well I think right
*you is what I meant to say
I respect baseball, but it’s always felt too slow to me, and they play way too many games
@@chrishandsome4267 I agree, 162 is alot. I'd go for 120
Dude was paid like a King's ransom in Toronto and barely played and then was paid to go away. I'll have that misfortune.
Hard for me to feel bad for a rich guy that played in the MLB
While he did get paid, nothing can replace the thrill of playing in The Show!
And they were stupid enough to pay him all that money, knowing that he was injury-prone. I laughed when I heard about the trade.
@@eddieotero2726 Exactly! Still in his 30's and a never needing to work another day in his life. Should I feel bad? I gotta get up at 5am to go to work tomorrow
Playing in Colorado didnt hurt
This one hurt he was one of my favorite players when he was a Rockie
he went to my high school!
inspirational.. great kid. gave it all he got, can't ask for much more.
Do a “What Happened” on Andre Ethier
As a giants fan I saw a lot of this guy. Absolute stud🔑
Same here
Thing is when kids do the jump throw they don’t think of Troy Tulowiski they think of Jeter. Typically
Ya fr I was thinking the same thing.
I always called it the tulo throw but yeah most do think of it as the jeter
I always called it tulo, so did everybody I know. But thats probably cause he was big when i was a kid and I live in Colorado
Most kids around Toronto call it the Tulo throw, not sure about America.
Pepperoni Lover lol all of us in Colorado say “Tulo”
CarGo and Tulowitzki were both amazing players that could hit
Both were in the home run derby.
Loved watching Tulo at AA affiliate Tulsa. I will always love being able to say, "I saw him when ..."
Thanks for the great video. Tulo was one of my favorite players ever. A true bada$$. Alas, his playing style and his position weren't conducive to injury recovery. Like many before him; a brilliant career cut short by injuries. Live long and prosper Troy. Enjoy the rest of your life.
As a Dodgers fan I always wished we had him on our team. He was so fun to watch. Tulo!
Are we going to ignore the fact that he had a relationship with his glove longer than I have with any girl
Dam
Good video , thanks for that. Tulo was a great player and we loved him in Toronto. It was sad to watch his injury plagued years though, and one always had the feeling that he was only performing at half his potential because of the accumulated damage to his body. The ankle injury was a heart breaker.
Had season tickets in 2010, Cargos best season! Tulo was my favorite player by far! Those were some fun years watching the Rockies!
I Loved Tull as a Rockies fan I will always remember chanting TULO when he came to bat he always has a place in the hearts of Rockie fans
I’ll always remember the popout to José Fernandez
“Did you catch that?”
Jason Smith line drive but yeah. Crazy play
Oscar Almeida sooo...lineout? 🤷🏽♂️
I’m so glad to see Dawson made another video!!!
11 months ago you only had 40K subs?? Damn man your channel is blowing up!! You deserve every bit of it, you make some fantastic videos brother. Keep it up!
Great upload...yes" I was thinking the same exact thing. What happened to Troy Tulowitzki??? Thanks for the info.
Favorite player never to play for my Detroit Tigers, I was so sad to hear he hung up the cleats. Hope he does well with the Longhorns coaching staff
I could watch tulos highlights for days he was smooth on defense. He made the jump throws look effortless. Not to mention his batting ability and playe discipline. Also great video
I enjoy your videos you make with your reporting and narration. Keep up your good work.
Bauer to the reds, Dawson uploaded
Reds: Trade away top prospects and Puig for Bauer
Also Reds: Trade away key pieces
Me (Reds fan): WTH???
Jockety sees something in baur
Tulo was a accident waiting 2 happen he HAD a couple OF good seasons THATS IT! U were afraid 2 touch him in case he got hurt!!!
Bauer is under contract for one more year. The Reds prospects were at least several years away, and the outfield is already full.
Hey Dawson, can you do “What If’s”? Like,
What if the Astros selected Khris Bryant instead of Mark Appel?
What if Moses Alou made the catch, not Steve Bartman?
Thanks for all your great vids
I could not wait for this video to come
As a Toronto resident and big Jays fan , when I first heard we got him I was so excited and knew that if he could stay healthy he would help us bring that World Series title back . Then the moment came when he got injured and i knew it was over for him immediately . Such a talent , such a great guy , it's really sad when shit like this happens and injuries snuff out a player like him for good . Still love Tulo
Ayyyyyy a Dawson video
Injuries. end of video
R A D O N Sums it up perfectly
Great video man. One of the greats
When I was in High school he was my favorite player I’ll never forgot for the baseball team I use to copy his throwing and his batting stance
The god has returned! Love your work and dedication
And don’t about y’all but when I do a jump throw I don’t yell “tulo” I yell “Jeter” 😂
Adrian Reed I thought I was crazy because I thought I was the only one
And jeters metrics were trash too
jeter and trash dont belong in the same sentence
Guess im the only one who yells Kobe.
I still yell out "KOBE" WHEN I DO ANY KIND OF SHOT OR THROW
A truly fine ballplayer.
Thank you, Tulo!
i play short stop because of troy tulowitzki i loved watching him play every day in the summer
he still did great things for theTORONTO BLUE JAYS THANKS TROY!!!!
I'll save you 8mins, he balled his tail off and then encountered injuries and normal non steroid aided age regression.
#Facts
Love Supreme Didn’t even take me 8 minutes. Listened for 1 minute and went right to the comments section. Injuries. Simple as that.
THIS! He didn't blimp up with unhealthy weight like some major leaguers - the guy simply had a bad string of injuries and bad luck. It's too bad because when he was healthy, he was one of the best of our generation. I hope he's able to retain a healthy lifestyle after retirement.
It was awesome having Tulo on the Jays. Just an awesome guy all around. So fun to watch defensively. I hope and know he is very proud of his career.
Troy Tulowitzki is one of my favorite baseball players of all time and him and Matt Holiday are the reasons why the Rockies are my favorite team in the NL West
He played with honor. I saw the title and thought this was to be a bad story of moral failure. Far from it.
One special thing about Tulo is that he just hit so well on the road at the start of his career despite the hangover
YOU’RE BACK!
Tulo is good enough for the Rockies HOF but sadly, not Cooperstown
I was so excited when we (the jays), traded Reyes for him.
I still remember going to Rockies game and yelling the tulo chant as a kid. Good memories
Great to see someone show respect for 2-Lo. Thank you.
Unfortunately the guy just couldn't stay healthy. He was a fantasy gold mine when he was good.
Holy shit this comment reminded me of my 8th grade fantasy team in school that I won the league with. That was 8-9 years ago and the dude in front of me in the draft in the first round that year picked hanley so I got tulo
Long Beach 🐐
Tulo hitting his first career grand slam back in '07. Sure, he did it against my D-backs, but my God it was a glorious swing of the bat.
There should be a "Tough Luck - (could'a/should'a) Hall of Fame" for the brilliantly great players whose careers were affected and cut short by injuries -- especially when the injuries occurred simply by having played the game so hard. Thanks, Troy, for giving us Rockies fans so many great and awe inspiring moments over a near 10 year span of time!
Nobody ever did the jump throw and yelled Tulo, it was always “Jeter!”
Well in 2019 he was 2 at the Yankees
That "jump throw" was inspired by Jeter and Garciaparra imo
Blue Marley Well Tulo did pick number 2 bc of Jeter, so it’s likely his game was inspired by Jeter too. Healthy Tulo was a better player imo though despite not having nearly as decorated of a career.
@@StealthNinjaPie idk jeter hit .339 or better 3 or 4 times one of those seasons at .349.
I think he brought the Jordan brand into the MLB... Jeter was the man.
Had other great hitters in the lineup over the years, but Tulo also had the Rocky Mountain advantage.
@@StealthNinjaPie I'd be ABSOLUTELY INSANE if I didn't mention Jeter's clutch genes.
But Tulo did it better.
Blue Marley And those World Series Rings
I was there when tulo injured his ankle, happy he got to play again after that but wish he had better luck with injuries! Truly a special talent that was plagued with the injury big sadly
I know this is old but Tulo will always be a star to me. During a hitting slump in high school I watched breakdowns on how Tulo fixed his swing and it helped immensely. Wish we could’ve seen more from him.
Best Rockies SS...then came Trevor Story !
What happened? INJURIES! And being traded by the Blue Jays! The Rogers Centre is not the same without The Tulo chant during Jays games! ⚾️⚾️⚾️🇨🇦
Good video Dawson, I sincerely appreciate the effort you put into it when you make them. I would like to ask if at all possible (although I know it means a lot more research in looking for the correct video/picture, editing, and such) if you could possibly (as you showed when Tulo tore the ligaments in his ankle) that as you speak about the subject (player, team, what have you) that your video edits include that specific video when talking about the subject.
Like when Tulo fractured his ribs, you showed the play in which it happened which makes following along much more enjoyable. An example, when you talked about Tulo being the best prospect in California you could include maybe minor league footage or pictures of him in action or when he was drafted, showing a list of the draft class since he was chosen in the 1st round, 7th overall so we viewers can see whom was drafted before Tulo. When saying his split stats were better at Coors, show those splits on the screen so we can see it, kinda thing.
Just my two cents. I'm a subscriber and I thoroughly enjoy your videos and please don't take this critique as me saying your videos suck or "I can do better" because that's not my intent at all. I just want to see you gain more subscribers and I think adding these minor edits in your videos would make it even more enjoyable than it already is. Thanks again for your efforts.
I’m very sad I’m a huge Rockies fan and when I was younger I remember loving watching him
Injuries from stepping on another player's foot are fairly common. To help prevent injruy to players either being stepped on (spiked) or players turning ankles by stepping on the 1st baseman's foot, the league needs to either adopt the little league odea of 2 bags, one for the runner and one for the 1st baseman OR elongate the 1st base bag horizontally somewhat to keep the 1st baseman's foot out of the running lane. It can be done and will prevent unnecessary injuries without greatly impacting the game.
A ton of players were really good over short careers and will not making it to the HOF. Albert Belle comes to mind. Rico Carty is another.
Tim Jansen what do you think about David Wright?
@Jaystar David Wright is a pretty good example of what I described in my first comment. I have to admit that when it comes to the HOF, I am kind of a purest. I think there are players in there now that should not be there. Tony Perez and Ralph Kiner come to mind.
I'm a die hard Rockies fan through and through. Tulo was truly a unique and special player. Going to games and watching him play was amazing. It was sad to see him leave to the Jays the way he did. But injury after injury really was his downfall. If it wasn't for the injuries, he would be the best shortstop in baseball history without a doubt. He would be talked about in the circle of greats like Derek Jeter. If Rockies knew how to get some pitchers and a solid bullpen, players like Tulo would get the recognition they deserve. Extremely talented player for a subpar organization that has made bad move after bad move. I hope this isn't the same foreshadow future for Nolan Arenado and Charlie Blackmon...
Dawson - I want to share a story that impressed me about Tulo. In 2007, Tulo's first full season in the majors, when the Rockies were battling the Dodgers trying to tie the Padres for the wildcard spot, Tulo was up to bat late in the game. He quickly went down 0-2 in the count, but stayed cool enough to earn a walk. I believe he went on to score. For a rookie to battle like he did in an at-bat as important as that was phenomenal. That was the moment it was clear he would be a star.
A level of mediocrity only aspired to by the Pirates. Epic.
Yeah career earnings of $163.4m, one of the best defensive SS of all time, would be in the HOF had he not been so injury prone. That certainly screams mediocrity.
I respect that people notice lol
Think tulo was great but damn talk about being made of glass
I gotta post more often. Ur a legend
As a Jays fan it was such a delight to see him come to Toronto. Unfortunately it didn't work out but, I loved seeing him in the Jersey regardless.
How's about some Grady Sizemore?
@Jesee oh for sure. That time he was in Boston and he lit it up in Spring Training and homered in his first ab that year I was ready, but it never happened.
Wow I haven’t seen his name in what feels like ages. I don’t even remember the last time i saw him play. What happened to him? I gotta google this..
@@TellurdogIsayhi injuries unfortunately
Him and Jacoby Ellsbury. Two sides that could have been something GREAT
just like Helton...he rotted away in Denver too long.
and Larry Walker lol
Dude where have you been? I always enjoyed your videos.
Tulo had a few good moments in Toronto, I remember the night he was traded and just thinking of how sick our lineup was lol
“Only dreamed of by the pirates”
*read my name*
Does anybody think tulo could’ve been better than Jeter without those injuries
When Tulo came To Toronto, we all seen him as the star he was, and knew that trade was the catalyst to send the jays into serious contention, and it did. Although he was only here for a short time he was beloved, and forever will be, and is now part of the fabric of the history of the team. Toronto loved, loves and will always love Troy Tulowitzki!!!!!
My guy is back
He’s better than Harold fricking Baines
He got OLD....It happens to everyone.
Tulo paved the way for today’s players swag
As someone that watched the Jays a ton in 2015 and 2016, it was a revelation to have Tulo play shortstop after Jose Reyes and his awful defense that season. He wasn't as great as he once was, but he could still make the difficult plays and more importantly for that team, made all the routine plays that you should make that Reyes would screw up.
It sucks that he couldn't stay healthy. That 2014 season would have been one for the ages had he not gotten hurt.
favorite tulowitzki memory. oakland coliseum circa 2018. toronto is wearing the road alternate blues and tulowitzki is 1-4. my friend and I make it up to the concourse and run into a highschool teammate of tulos. lets go oakland. throw up on the bart tracks, yeaaaaap
This was awesome!!
Like always great content Dawson
Thank you
I still remember when he was first called up in 2006. I liked him as a player, but hated playing against him as a Giants fan, especially from 2007-10.
Shawon Dunston and Troy Tulowitzki had the strongest arms I've ever seen at the shortstop position. As a Rockie fan, I'm grateful for Tulo as he helped the Rockies make their only World Series so far in 2007.
enjoyed watching Troy Tulowitzki play in Toronto
Thanks for making me cry
tulo was a constant on my fantasy team, great talent. sad that injuries derailed his career...he was a young jeter essentially.
I cried watching this video. Heartbreaking stuff
What i love about tulo is that beaten glove he owns, really shows how much he likes to do things his way
My favorite tulo moment was in September 2010. He had 15 home runs that month and was on an absolute tear. The Rockies were also on another hot steak to make playoffs. He came up in the ninth with runners on base; a home run would win the game. Unfortunately, he struck out and the game was over. He slammed his bat onto the plate and it split in two, then he took the split handle and whipped it into the dirt right next to home plate. The bat stuck into the ground just like how a javelin sticks into the ground.
Great video.... your a good narrator
Please upload more 🙏 your videos are so good but you don't post as often as I would like. Your videos are high quality and unique. I really hope you can post more because you really do have some of the best baseball content on RUclips
Trust me I want to post more too. When I start school I will have some time dedicated to videos
My favorite player of all time. People would always think i wore #2 because of jeter but it was because of Tulo instead.
Hopefully he comes back for the 2021 season. A full season to heal properly might be what he needs
ANOTHER BANGER FROM THE BASEBALL GOD
