Dude already has most HR’s and hits in a postseason (rookie and non-rookie records). If homeboy gets an All-Star this year, he’s surpassed his arrogant behind. Humility is not KK’s strong suit

@@hawaiianwater1913 well that's true, now he owns all the video footage of him doing this and still failing to make the out at home. Someone brought up that he did this to throw out Verdugo tagging to 3rd base. Maybe he did, but that's a completely different play in terms of momentum.

@@Matt_W8 "I've done it before, I'll do it again, and I can find a left fielder who will stay the fuck out of my way, because I am the fucking lizard king and this is my baseball team."

And besides, the throw wasn’t good enough anyway, so who’s to say the left fielder wouldn’t have thrown a better ball? We won’t ever know I guess. Just a bonehead move by Kiermaier in my opinion.

This whole situation is even funnier when you remember that time Kiermaier completely lost a routine fly ball in center field and Arozarena hauled ass all the way over from left field and made a diving catch

@@pizzajona How many times have you copypasta'd this? As pointed out elsewhere, the difference between a throw 90mph and 94mph throw from 300' is about .1 second. It's absolutely irrelevant.

My man was “treading lightly” so You gotta wonder what it would have sounded like if he was just like “Fvck it I’m not gonna tip-toe around this one...”
@@marimbaguy715 lol yes obviously, its the fact the guy is so cocky and really must not like his teammate to then come out in a interview saying hes better
Right. How many steps did he take before he had to stop, plant himself, and then throw? That's all time wasted. Whereas Randy is straight ahead of the play and is facing the right direction for a tight play. Instead, the runner is safe by at least a step. Same as the other play shown, which was shorter and more an obvious out by the correct fielder.
@@pizzajona But he still not only came in from an angle; he also had to plant himself to make that throw, after what looks like 3 steps. And his 94 mph outfield throw didn't work on a shorter catch and throw cause angles are angles no matter what. A straight 90 mph throw is better than an angled 94 mph throw. Randy's momentum is direct.
@@jonnuanez2843 which is why KK wanted Randy to move out of the way. Now, if Kiermaier saw Randy was still holding his ground before the last second when he had to jump over him, then I think he should’ve stopped chasing it no matter what. But it’s entirely plausible that his eyes were on the ball the whole time and he didn’t see Randy until he had to go around him and was already committed
What would be funny is if Kev went up to bat and Randy just kinda slid in front of him and said “Nah bruh you gotta let the person who’s better do the job.”
"I have to tread lightly here. All these peasants shouldn't be playing in my outfield. Instead they should bow to my greatness as they observe how to play the game."
Except that Richard Sherman made a great play that won the game before he said that. This would be like if he left his assignment to jump a route that Kam Chancellor or Earl Thomas were on but the receiver still caught the ball and scored.
It would be even better if he started talking about himself in third person. Kiermeir will always do this. Because Kiermeir believes Kiermeir is the best center fielder of all time. Kiermeir knows what is best. Outfield belongs to Kiermaeir! 😂
"I don't trust my teammates to play professional ball in the outfield, I've tried (and failed at) this once before, and I'm going to continue to steal plays from my fellow teammates to the detriment of the entire team even if the play is directly in left field because I'm cocky and refuse to think about the consequences for anyone but myself."
They are professional baseball players not some minor league baseball team in BFE. The guy calls for the ball and it's in his zone. It's his ball and he is in a better position to challenge the runner tagging up. We all know this. It takes some big balls to coming flying over and impeding when you got called off. So many things could have gone wrong. End result could not been miss catch or a collision and so on. Then in the interview after the game basically doubting our teammates ability. His outfielders is a cocky way of saying teammates. Like it or not it's just my opinion. Also I'm aware the center fielder is the captain of the outfield. You still don't call off someone that's in a better position to make a play.
I remember in Little League we had a kid who would do this all the time...... One game near the end of the season coach told the other outfielders to not go for any balls and basically let the kid play outfield by himself...... We got mercied that game but he learned he how important it was to have other players back there helping you.
@@zach.frederick The best part was in the 1st inning we was super excited running around having a blast...... But by the 3rd inning when we were down by 9 he was jogging to the ball..... Every time he would look over at the dugout Coach would throw up his arms like "What's wrong?"
I love how he's saying his teammate got in his way, when said teammate only needed a light jog to get under the ball and he has to sprint his ass off from the other side of the planet. Totally unnecessary but really funny.
As a former athlete, icing is incredible for recovery. After the game/race/contest everyone ices everything in every professional sport you do and don't watch.
@@christopherreily1895 I didn't really believe it until I got into my 30s and started regularly having pain and stiffness, so I do some rudimentary icing of my own at home and it makes a world of a difference. Your original comment was funny either way though haha.
Can we just take a sec to admire how well-edited and put together this video is? Like I’ve been watching these breakdowns quite a while, and it hit me multiple times how good the production is. Big props to Jimmy or BBD or whoever did this, it’s a fine piece of work.
I can just imagine him playing in a doubles tennis match......and his partner getting pissed off and telling him, "Why don't you just sign up for the men's singles."
He’s the type of person to be on a track team and while he’s doing a team relay, instead of running his portion and handing off the baton to his teammate like a good sport he just keeps running 😂
I haven’t seen this since little league when you had like one good kid on the team and everyone knew to just get out of his way. I was not that kid, which is why I watch Jomboy videos now. I feel your pain, Randy.
lol "that one good kid on the team everyone knew to just get out of the way" even children can respect initiative and talent, we lose that ability as we age I guess lol
@Coding Crusader Lol do you even know what Im saying? My point is this dude didnt trust his leftfielder, he thinks theyre still kids and he shouldve backed off. That was the left fielders ball
I understand his thought process about having a better arm, but his momentum worked against him here and made him take longer to get rid of the ball than it would have for the LF.
Yeah I think this is the right take basically. Idk what randy arm grades out at but I'm all for letting the guy with the stronger arm make the throw just took it too far. Just bit off a little more than he could chew.
Kevin is a time traveler sent from the future to stop Randy from getting the assist. The assist would inevitably lead to the apocalypse. The future will thank him.
You have the wrong idea. It's done to preserve. It doesnt mean his arm doesnt feel good. With that being said its kind of more douchey for him to do that, not being a pitcher.
3:07 Lol “so yea, he does remember this same scenario where he caught the ball in left field and it had the same result, THROW WAS OFF-LINE AND NOT IN TIME….” Lmao
it's like.... all he had to say was, "I had a track on the ball and focused on it, I was focused on the ball not Randy. In retrospect I should have had more awareness and trusted my teammate to complete the play. I will use this as a learning experience and use it to get better." and it would have been FINE!!!! Total tool
Yeah or just made the excuse of thinking it was more towards the gap. Didn’t realize it was hit right too him. I played center in high school and have caught balls closer to their side of the gap. But right in front of them 😂💀 power move
What makes this whole thing even more funny is that it was barely 2 weeks before this that Kiermaier completely lost sight of a ball against the roof that was hit more or less dead center, and it was Arozarena who saved his ass by sprinting all the way over and making a crazy diving play. Video link: ua-cam.com/video/lfg0Od_CuWM/v-deo.html
OMG that's beautiful and emphasizes what a dickweed Kiermaier is. His reaction to Arozarena's catch is so muted compared to the other players, he's clearly thinking that Arozarena embarrassed him rather than thanking his teammate for having his back.
Maybe the "tread lightly" was the Randy part, and the Defensive part was outside of that? I DO love he snuck in "My arm feels really powerful" in a random spot.
"I knew I could get behind the it and work my momentum back towards the plate" **Makes snowcone catch while jumping at a full sprint. Lands and takes 10 feet and 3/4 of a second to change his momentum towards the plate to make the throw.**
@@StsFiveOneLima so let’s say the ball is a phillips head screw. randy is a phillips head screw driver, and kiermaier is a flat head screw driver. just because the flat head screw driver “might” be able to unscrew the phillips head screw, doesn’t mean it’s the best “tool” for the job. make sense?
"I'm very confident in my abilities to steal an easy catch from my teammate and then using my amazing arm to make a mediocre throw that doesn't end up with an out anyway."
There is no 'I' in 'team'. But there's three of them in Kevin Kiermaier: one for left, center and right field evidently.

If Kanye West played baseball, and then gave an interview.
My man was “treading lightly” so You gotta wonder what it would have sounded like if he was just like “Fvck it I’m not gonna tip-toe around this one...”
"These n-words you got out here playing in my outfield ain't shit!"
@@Galactic123 🤣🤣 these n words ain't got NOTHING ON ME! -white dude from Malibu's most wanted.
I would imagine he actually did. Just it would have been without all the non apologies
Lmmfao
Dude exactly 😅😂
The left fielder was saying, "I got it." But he really didn't even need to say that because it was hit right to him. Selfish center fielder.
left fielder ain't Kevin Kiermaier tho
Kevin Kiermaier is the ALL fielder. Anything he can get to is his.
@Luke Skywalker no
Randy’s never thrown a ball over 90 mph. KK’s throw on this play was over 94 mph. I don’t agree with KK trying to take the ball but he is right
@@pizzajona Kevin also took an extra 6 steps to throw the ball.... making it a late throw. Learn baseball
"Well baseball is a team sport, so I'm putting this loss squarely on the shoulders of my teammates, not to name names but especially Randy"
😂
Kiermaier: Here let me show you how its done
Also Kiermaier: Well maybe next time
Right?! 😆
How does this comment not have the most likes... of any comment... like ever?
👏👏👏
"Uh... That one doesn't count..."
This comment needs to be pinned
Next time: OK but next time tho
This was next time. He had a better chance before and blew it.
If that was him "treading lightly", can you imagine what he really wanted to say?
Maybe he should have been a boxer.
Along the lines of: “If God himself wanted to learn centerfield, he would ask me to teach him”
@@joser9836 😂
I think he's "treading lightly" cause he doesn't wanna say Arozarena has a bad arm, just that he has a better arm.
@@marimbaguy715 lol yes obviously, its the fact the guy is so cocky and really must not like his teammate to then come out in a interview saying hes better
Interviewer: "Who do you think is the best left fielder in the league right now?"
Kiermaier (center fielder): "Me"
Interviewer: "Who do you think is the best team in the MLB this season?"
Kiermaier: "Me"
Interviewer: LeBron, Jordan, or Kobe?
Kevin: ...me
@@NicholasPeters1 No he doesn't. He thinks he's the best defense player (at least in the outfield) which is debatably true
This entire clip HAS to be satire. I refuse to believe anything else. It's funny on so many different levels 😂
There is no satire anymore. Reality is too unbelievable.
His momentum was not going forward, whereas Arozarina’s was going foward. That’s Randy’s ball all day
Right. How many steps did he take before he had to stop, plant himself, and then throw? That's all time wasted. Whereas Randy is straight ahead of the play and is facing the right direction for a tight play. Instead, the runner is safe by at least a step. Same as the other play shown, which was shorter and more an obvious out by the correct fielder.
He was also completely off balance and had to land and gather himself to throw
Randy’s never thrown a ball over 90 mph. KK’s throw on this play was over 94 mph. I don’t agree with KK trying to take the ball but he is right
@@pizzajona But he still not only came in from an angle; he also had to plant himself to make that throw, after what looks like 3 steps. And his 94 mph outfield throw didn't work on a shorter catch and throw cause angles are angles no matter what. A straight 90 mph throw is better than an angled 94 mph throw. Randy's momentum is direct.
@@jonnuanez2843 which is why KK wanted Randy to move out of the way. Now, if Kiermaier saw Randy was still holding his ground before the last second when he had to jump over him, then I think he should’ve stopped chasing it no matter what. But it’s entirely plausible that his eyes were on the ball the whole time and he didn’t see Randy until he had to go around him and was already committed
Why don’t you just play all 9 positions at the same time if u are such a superstar Kevin? Jesus Christ what a look at me guy
Usually the stronger arm will take the fly ball. Kevin has the stronger arm but it was a little much
Ikr
It’s kinda funny
@Russell Scott I said it was over kill...
@@Mr13koar13 If you have to run that far, who cares about the stronger arm.
I know it's just part of recovery, but it's pretty hilarious to hear someone say their arm feels good while it's wrapped up in a massive ice pack.
"you gotta respect the confidence and cockiness here"
No, no you don't. You give him the same respect he gave the left fielder; i.e. none.
I gotta tread lightly here, here's the deal: I'm the best there is, plain and simple. I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence.
What would be funny is if Kev went up to bat and Randy just kinda slid in front of him and said “Nah bruh you gotta let the person who’s better do the job.”
Oh man, please Randy. If you’re out there. Do this.
Except neither of them can hit
@@danielostrom566 yeah.. too bad they can’t play the Yankees 162 times a year. Then they’d prob both be .350 hitters
@@danielfisher3852 right!! Thats so weird how the yankees have the best era in the AL, and thats the only team the rays can hit against 😭

Fuckin hilarious
Confidence=10 Humility=0 Douchebagginess=infinity
I’m gonna tread lightly
“When you try me with a sorry LF like randy, that’s the result you gone get! Don’t you open your mouth about the best!”
This is perfect 😂
Lol so true. He is legit the Richard Sherman of the MLB. Good call!
Who was talking about you?
Except that Richard Sherman made a great play that won the game before he said that. This would be like if he left his assignment to jump a route that Kam Chancellor or Earl Thomas were on but the receiver still caught the ball and scored.
@@nick0875 thanks for ruining the fun
Died at highlighted 90% of the outfield and saying "This area here, that's all me"
Being "one of the best centerfielders in the game" would come with the knowledge to let Randy have that one.
Ego is blocking Kiermaier’s view of this knowledge. Lol
@PrisonCipher lmao trout is a good fielder but no where near the best in the league.
JBJ is still playing. He would have nailed the throw.
Kiermaier has been the best defensive outfielder since he came up. Full stop.
@@TheToxicity doesnt even have the range of buxton and clearly doesnt have the best arm in the league. like, not even close.
It would be even better if he started talking about himself in third person.
Kiermeir will always do this. Because Kiermeir believes Kiermeir is the best center fielder of all time. Kiermeir knows what is best. Outfield belongs to Kiermaeir! 😂
By "even better", you mean even more ridiculously narcissistic?
@@treylem3 that’s what he’s best at
"I don't trust my teammates to play professional ball in the outfield, I've tried (and failed at) this once before, and I'm going to continue to steal plays from my fellow teammates to the detriment of the entire team even if the play is directly in left field because I'm cocky and refuse to think about the consequences for anyone but myself."
Hey, he told his Dad he was going to get onto SportsCenter, and he's not a very good hitter. Had to play to his strengths.
FACTS 😂
Thanks for the transcript 👍
Solid translation
I love the fact he called them his outfielders.
They're his outfielders, and he's THEIR center fielder. wtf is wrong with saying that?
Maybe "our outfielders"?
CF is the on field leader... they are HIS outfielders and the LF shouldve gotten out of the way.
@@mattkeller5913 are you dumb? That was supposed to be Arozarena’s ball but Kevin stole it
They are professional baseball players not some minor league baseball team in BFE. The guy calls for the ball and it's in his zone. It's his ball and he is in a better position to challenge the runner tagging up. We all know this. It takes some big balls to coming flying over and impeding when you got called off. So many things could have gone wrong. End result could not been miss catch or a collision and so on. Then in the interview after the game basically doubting our teammates ability. His outfielders is a cocky way of saying teammates. Like it or not it's just my opinion. Also I'm aware the center fielder is the captain of the outfield. You still don't call off someone that's in a better position to make a play.
"My arm feels real good, feels powerful..." meanwhile, his arm is taped and iced.
from literally throwing one ball deep that entire game
@@EulogizingSleep fr lol.
Not trying too give the guy a pass but it’s just good too ice yourself. You don’t need too have worked your arm too ice yourself.
@Richard Cranium Lmfao. Thank you teacher. Looks like you need work on your capitalization there also. Lol
@Richard Cranium Well look at that. See not everyone’s perfect. Glad you stayed on topic though! Lmfao
At 3:22 I was expecting him to finish the sentence by saying "since the day I was born" lmao
As Ted Lasso would say, you’re one in a million and sometimes you forget you’re one of nine.
I was just about to comment that this guy sounds EXACTLY like the player in Ted Lasso who trust no one his teammates and only talks himself up haha
I remember in Little League we had a kid who would do this all the time...... One game near the end of the season coach told the other outfielders to not go for any balls and basically let the kid play outfield by himself...... We got mercied that game but he learned he how important it was to have other players back there helping you.
Holy shit someone give that coach a raise 💀 that’s brilliant
@@zach.frederick The best part was in the 1st inning we was super excited running around having a blast...... But by the 3rd inning when we were down by 9 he was jogging to the ball..... Every time he would look over at the dugout Coach would throw up his arms like "What's wrong?"
r/thathappened
And then all the parents in the bleachers started clapping
@@B3Band yeah yeah, nothing ever happens to you in your boring life
@@B3Band shut up redditor
That's an interview the reporters don't stop. They sense a train wreck better than anyone and wouldn't dare stop it!
I love how he's saying his teammate got in his way, when said teammate only needed a light jog to get under the ball and he has to sprint his ass off from the other side of the planet. Totally unnecessary but really funny.
I love how he's doing the interview with his arm wrapped like a pitcher who just threw a 120 pitch complete game
He has to protect his ability to continue to not throw runners out.
Hey! He said the arm is fine. He just put ice on the arm because he is throwing literal fire balls. 🔥 ⚾️

"My arm feels really good, it feels really powerful.That's why I'm icing after throwing home once."
As a former athlete, icing is incredible for recovery. After the game/race/contest everyone ices everything in every professional sport you do and don't watch.
Thanks for the explanation. I had no idea!
@@christopherreily1895 I didn't really believe it until I got into my 30s and started regularly having pain and stiffness, so I do some rudimentary icing of my own at home and it makes a world of a difference. Your original comment was funny either way though haha.

Wait til you see when he puts his face overtop of someone else's face to finish the video.....its like MICHAEL FUCKING BAY SHIT
I can just imagine him playing in a doubles tennis match......and his partner getting pissed off and telling him, "Why don't you just sign up for the men's singles."
"Uh, everything from the backhand doubles alley to the forehand singles line is mine. If the ball's hit there, I wanna hit it back"
He'd try to take both sides on service returns and try to make up an excuse for why it's legal.

He’s the type of person to be on a track team and while he’s doing a team relay, instead of running his portion and handing off the baton to his teammate like a good sport he just keeps running 😂
I haven’t seen this since little league when you had like one good kid on the team and everyone knew to just get out of his way.
I was not that kid, which is why I watch Jomboy videos now. I feel your pain, Randy.
lol "that one good kid on the team everyone knew to just get out of the way" even children can respect initiative and talent, we lose that ability as we age I guess lol
@Coding Crusader Lol do you even know what Im saying? My point is this dude didnt trust his leftfielder, he thinks theyre still kids and he shouldve backed off. That was the left fielders ball
@Coding Crusader all g bro i figured. thats the right call though, a doobie and a jomboy vid, cant go wrong xD
Honestly he's delusional. Also look at how many steps he had to take before throwing it. He's a total liar. This upsets me.
The mlb is indeed very odd this year...
YES🤣
@@thunderhayes Not even just baseball either. The NBA has been wild also.
@nunuvyo bizniz I mean, it's more popular than baseball by a long shot but okay.
@nunuvyo bizniz I think what you meant to say is YOU dont care, even tho nobody asked you
@nunuvyo bizniz lol sure buddy
So basically the other outfielders are simply there to catch the ball if it is hit foul, mostly because he cannot get to it. Good to know.
Or if it’s hit hard to their spot
He can obviously get to if it’s foul...
I understand his thought process about having a better arm, but his momentum worked against him here and made him take longer to get rid of the ball than it would have for the LF.
Yeah that was a selfish move for sure.
his manager needs to tell him it was stupid on his part to ever think it was a genius move to do that
Yeah I think this is the right take basically. Idk what randy arm grades out at but I'm all for letting the guy with the stronger arm make the throw just took it too far. Just bit off a little more than he could chew.
Yep
i mean he almost got him. if randy got out of the way he could’ve got in even better position and made an even better throw
This is like an SNL skit but real life
I rolled my eyes so hard that they're forever aimed at my brain and I'm blind now
Lol
Kevin is a time traveler sent from the future to stop Randy from getting the assist. The assist would inevitably lead to the apocalypse. The future will thank him.
Good one!
The "Fly Ball Effect"?
🤣🤣🤣🙌🏆💀
“My arm feels real good, really powerful”
As he has two bags of ice wrapped around his shoulder...
I noticed that too it’s his throwing arm 😂
You have the wrong idea. It's done to preserve. It doesnt mean his arm doesnt feel good. With that being said its kind of more douchey for him to do that, not being a pitcher.
😂😂😂
@@TheDreamBlog It is done to preserve his arm so he can miss more throws
3:07 Lol “so yea, he does remember this same scenario where he caught the ball in left field and it had the same result, THROW WAS OFF-LINE AND NOT IN TIME….” Lmao
it's like.... all he had to say was, "I had a track on the ball and focused on it, I was focused on the ball not Randy. In retrospect I should have had more awareness and trusted my teammate to complete the play. I will use this as a learning experience and use it to get better." and it would have been FINE!!!! Total tool
Had he been capable of saying that, he wouldn't have needed to.
Yeah or just made the excuse of thinking it was more towards the gap. Didn’t realize it was hit right too him. I played center in high school and have caught balls closer to their side of the gap. But right in front of them 😂💀 power move

This is the kind of guy that will cost a team a win over his own ego.
What makes this whole thing even more funny is that it was barely 2 weeks before this that Kiermaier completely lost sight of a ball against the roof that was hit more or less dead center, and it was Arozarena who saved his ass by sprinting all the way over and making a crazy diving play.
Video link: ua-cam.com/video/lfg0Od_CuWM/v-deo.html
OMG that's beautiful and emphasizes what a dickweed Kiermaier is. His reaction to Arozarena's catch is so muted compared to the other players, he's clearly thinking that Arozarena embarrassed him rather than thanking his teammate for having his back.

I DO love he snuck in "My arm feels really powerful" in a random spot.
He's the teammate that you hope gets traded before every deadline.
From watching rays games for years now. I have to say Kiermaier is a great teamate. I think it was just heat of the moment honestly.

It’s not even confidence. He sounds insane
Defense: Kevin Kiermaier: "I'm the best center fielder in the game by far."
Offense: Kevin Kiermaier: left the chat.
"My arm feels really good, it feels really powerful", I don't know dude, the way your shoulder is dressed right now is telling me something else
He acts like he makes an assist every game. He had 6 OF assists all of last year, which is still good but in the grand scheme of things...
A simple “I’m sorry Randy, I’ll work on it and make sure you get the play in your area for a sack fly” would’ve been a different interview 😌
I wanted to believe Kiermaier wasn't a complete tool, but turns out he totally is.
"Tools" have uses :-)
@@StsFiveOneLima so let’s say the ball is a phillips head screw. randy is a phillips head screw driver, and kiermaier is a flat head screw driver. just because the flat head screw driver “might” be able to unscrew the phillips head screw, doesn’t mean it’s the best “tool” for the job. make sense?
