no seasons over 300 and only 2 over 200, im assuming you saw his 2014 season where he was traded mid season and with the padres he had a 313 era+ and with the angels he had an era+ of 214
@@justmaxproductions200 ERA+ is an extremely high bar lol. That’s like HOF caliber. The 2.96 career ERA and 141 ERA+ he had is still very good and much more than just decent.
Definitely agree with Andrew Bailey and Bobby Crosby but honestly, Houston Street had a really good career that I wouldn’t call mediocre or forgettable. Career 2.95 ERA and 324 saves. Definitely a solid closer for almost all of his career.
If you wanted to go back a few more years, you could have started this video with Ben Grieve. He won Rookie of the Year with the A’s in 1998, and even made the AL All Star team that year. Unfortunately, he peaked early in his career, as in that ROY season. After that, he faded into obscurity.
I know of Houston Street because my Mets were trying to acquire him during the 2008 trading deadline after the Mets closer (Billy Wagner) was done for the season halfway through with Tommy John surgery, but Oakland was not willing to trade Street for whatever reason I forgot. I also know Street because since im a Mets fan, I was watching the 2006 postseason closely, and I remember when Street gave up the walk-off-ALCS-ending-home-run to Magglio Ordonez of the Tigers. I do not remember Bobby Crosby. I vaguely remember Andrew Bailey, due to his low ERA when he was with Oakland. But I remember him only via name and the numbers he was producing, but not that ive ever seen his face. With all that said, I never cared for who wins rookie of the year in any league, so if someone told me that Street, Crosby, and Bailey won it, that would have been news to me.
I actually met Bobby Crosby in 2016 when I was working at Cooperstown Dreams Park and he was coaching a team competing there one of the weeks I was also there... chill guy
As someone who has family that lives in Haddonfield a few interesting facts. The Michael Myers writer Debra Hill is actually from Haddonfield which is what inspired the name of the town from the movies. Its an interesting fact but the town also was the home to NFL player Joe Flacco when he was on the Eagles. Current MLB players have homes in the town as well, my relatives have run into Bryce Harper and JT Realmuto at times in town.
I think this goes to prove something I have always believed: rookie of the year is often a terrible award for predicting a players success. I feel like it’s most apparent in the NBA, where many truly terrible players have won the award, but it’s also true in the MLB. So many rookies flame out.
A big'ol Jon Bois fan, right? Listen to audio recordings/pronunciations of people's names and check your levels. Other than that, you're killing it. Keep up the great work. Ps. The fact that Cliff Lee pinch ran for former A's legend Matt Stairs is absolutely fascinating
Look all im saying is that Street is the best closer in MLB power pros both 07 and 08 for the wii and ps2. Legit GOATED and cheap contract too so you just throw shit at the As until they trade him and get 40+ saves easy.
Constructive criticism: when talking about closing pitchers, please include their saves and blown saves as stats because W-L is a terrible stat to begin with, especially with discussing closers.
Not going to lie it was kind of fun growing up in Oakland and watching our lovable losing Trio of Golden State Warriors Oakland A's and Oakland Raiders, but the Oakland A's always broke my little heart, having good years and then losing close trading away good players for nothing and to top it off always trying to leave Oakland. I haven't been to an A's game in 10 years and haven't watched in three.
I made one on King Felix's perfect game: ua-cam.com/video/O8oNzPEZPW0/v-deo.html and on Mariners legend Jamie Moyer: ua-cam.com/video/wyONI25ANKM/v-deo.html how about the 1995 M's: ua-cam.com/video/nZ4nq5gLdQc/v-deo.html
Unlike a lot of teams, the A's are more likely to play rookies on a regular basis. The 2022 chumps aside the A's have traditionally found good talent that others have passed up.
Huston Street is on next years Hall of Fame ballot, feel free to ignore that section of the video
common L
Hudson Street has a career ERA+ of 145 and had 4 seasons ERA+ over 200 and even one season over 300. Great career in my opinion.
no seasons over 300 and only 2 over 200, im assuming you saw his 2014 season where he was traded mid season and with the padres he had a 313 era+ and with the angels he had an era+ of 214
"Underwhelming careers"
Me noticing Huston Street never had a season below 100 ERA+
only had 2 seasons above 200 ERA+, decent career but never all that dominant like some of the other closers of his era
@@justmaxproductions street had a career era under 3 and 300 career saves the only reason he’s not remembered is because he was a journeyman
@@justmaxproductions200 ERA+ is an extremely high bar lol. That’s like HOF caliber.

The "Please Stand By" bit is the BEST haha. Another great vid, Nash!
this channel is so slept on, thank you for these videos man!
Love the sense of humor, sir.

Saw of your content earlier, it's great.
bro this content is freaking amazing… just watched the kyle tucker vid … you deserve more subs and views bro 😎
the amount of jokes packed into these videos is astounding.

These are really entertaining. Currently binging them.
i love your editing style ive never laughed so much at a baseball video excluding the pirates vs javy baez
Just found your channel, you’re a blast to listen to. Subscribed
I remember all of these guys very well :)
I was at game 4 in 09 at Coors. Never been so mad at a closer in my life
And you forgot to mention Eric Chavez he was the third baseman for the A's and he got Four Points for MVP votes

The highlight of Andrew Bailey's career was the commercial he filmed with Nelson Cruz.
facts lol
Dude love the page
Bruh 10:28 😂
Respect to my fellow houston native
That Verlander joke was hilarious

Real ones will never forget these A’s.
Overwhelming career: Houston street .295 era 141 career era+ only year with under 100 ops+ was when he was like 34
ops+? thats batting
@@smoceany9478 opps
These are some really good players... and Rick Porcello... BURN!!!!!!!!
I remember fondly all of Huston Street’s career
10:29 I spit out my drink
Bro underated
Kazuhiro Sasaki is listed as a similar pitcher. Who knew.
10:28 holy fuck that was funny
How are you not as popular as Foolish baseball or Jolly Olive?
Nah Street definitely had a great career. Not HOF or anything but was one of the better closers of his era.
They had 3 rookies of the year 3 years in a row 86-88
yeah but I don't think people forgot about Mark McGwire or Jose Canseco
Andrew Bailey is now the SF giants pitching coach
13:54 you don't say
@@justmaxproductions sorry I only watched the first 13 minutes and 53 seconds before i had to get back to work
@@masonseymour2455 understandable, I don't know if I've ever actually watched this video
Angel Berroa has entered the chat
I mean I think Street and Bailey had productive careers with those numbers.
Steve should do a video about whether aaron nola is actually a good pitcher or not
🤷 I can't decide
@@justmaxproductions ur gonna figure it out
You could've gone a couple more years before the Crosby years and talked about ROY Ben Grieve. He went on to have lackluster career
I could have yes
Ben Grieve, A’s roty in 1998
"war never changes" 🤣🤣
Hey man this account is great. I'm gonna stay subscribed. Where's my prize??
did Rich Harden win ROTY if so it should be him over Huston Street
as a matter of fact, he did not

Ps. The fact that Cliff Lee pinch ran for former A's legend Matt Stairs is absolutely fascinating
pitcher's being subbed in to not pitch will never not be funny
@@justmaxproductions I truly miss the times when national league teams used to double switch their relievers

Street has over 300 saves, dude.
Nobody calls Houston “Houston” outside of Houston
I always call Houston "Dallas but better"
