I swear Matt you can't do a 'bad' video! I love them all! 👍
Same
Shannon Williams same
I agree!
Hey Matt can you go into detail about hotels in the majors like do they rent out the whole floor? Is it always the same hotel? What kind of hotels do you stay in. Thanks man great videos
BMoneyyy Talks Sports he didn't go over those details. He just talks about staying in a hotel. I checked
What is it like playing with or against your childhood hero?
Hey Matt, great video! I am a sophomore in high school and I recently finished my JV season. I just learned that I am being called up to varsity to finish out the last 3 weeks of the year. I have been working extremely hard this season and I am very excited that I have achieved my goal, as I started the year on the reserve team, but I am also very nervous. Do you have any tips for how to adjust to the new level? Thank you so much!
Do players pay attention to there stats?

dont call me or my iphone 4 again bruh
yes
How do you retire, do you have to sign a bunch of papers to make it official or do you just walk out and not show up the next season ???
I could answer that since I used to work for the Indians. Yes, they do have to sign paperwork. They also have an HR department just like any average Joe job where they take care of it. I was with a food service company and our HR department was on the lower level (aka basement) of Progressive Field, but the Indians’ was in the executive offices. That’s where the ballplayers went to was the executive office. I think it was on the 2nd or 3rd floor for them. Their eligibility to retire was after 5 or 10 years-I can’t remember which one it was. I’m pretty sure it’s after 5 years-this is why you keep seeing these injury prone players keep playing up to that point so they could get MLB’s pension so they don’t retire completely broke.

Who was your go to guy for help in the MLB?
Haven't played since high-school and I'm 22 now. Great and interesting videos! Good to listen to these when I do my college homework haha.
Could you make a video about what the road trips are like? The hotels, do you guys get to go around and tour the city a little, and just the overall experience?
did you ever have any trouble with the fans distracting you?
Matt who was your favorite player to play with?
Hey Matt, love all your vids. Love the constant improvement in video/audio quality. My question is. How did you and/or teammates feel about signing autographs prior to a game? Whether after stretching, playing catch, etc. Also, signing autographs for adult fans? Is there a preference to female fans? As a 31 year old, there's certain players of my team (White Sox) that I'd LOVE to get their Herbie Hancock for my own sake.
Also, look into a box light to improve your lighting and to eliminate shadows.
What are meetings with coaches and managers like? Would you be nervous if you got called into their office
can college walk on's be successful and become starters for the team? because I heard walk on' s usually don't make it very far in college ball
jakethesnake68 you can yes...youre still developing as a ball player. work hard
I know a couple people who have walked on and started Sophomore year. Played with and against them in summer ball.
Matt: in light of Carlos Gomez making his comments about being targeted to be PED testing. Do you think that happens? Did some players get tested much more than normal? I have a pre-concieved notion already on this and would love to hear your answer.
It just occurred to me that in one of your videos on when to backhand a ball you said physical errors will happen if the ball goes under your glove or something like that but you also said lots of coaches want you to get in front of the ball and block it but then you might not catch the ball and if you do catch it you could be off balance so your throw could be off or not in time you also said it's if you make the play or not. But if the ball gets past you backhanding the chances of you making the play are very slim. Sorry if I said something wrong or it was confusing
have you ever been ejected? How?
Ian DeHaan he hasn't
Great videos on very interesting topics man! Keep it up!
What are the drug, alcohol and tobacco policies in the minors and majors?
What's your prospective of spring training, the facilities, and the superstar players driving Bentley, Ferrari's, AMG Mercedes? Do you have any interesting stories when you were with the Yankee organization?
2nd question does superstar baseball player think they're regular guys and not celebrities? Derek Jeter, A-Rod. Do you stay in touch with ex Yankee teammates (when you were in their organization)?
Aj Richards lmao are you a yankee fan?
No
Can you get the Whizzanator in MLB licensed logos?
Craig Colby It got my friend two years. It would have been 6 months but since his PO caught him red handed with the wizzinator on, he was so disgusted by the device and the fact he would try and go to that extent to try and cheat his probation. So he made an example out of him. Normally kids got 6 months for violating. Poor Matt got 2 years in juvenile hall. The dude was 14 and was only smoking weed. 2 years for dirty weed test. Juvenile systems are crazy fucked up.
I love your videos man I just subscribed and watched a bunch of them. Can you give me any tips or pointers on hitting the ball better to the right side. I want to get better at hitting those outside pitches and going oppo on them
think its in the players contract that they have to explain the parameters of the test, and rates of false positives and how you would test positive before they subject you to it. I remember hearing how mlb has an open book tests compared to the other major sports that follow strict Wada protocols
Hey Matt, big fan since you played for Syracuse and I used to read your blog. What was your favorite minor league team you played for and why?
What do you think of the juiced ball theory? I personally believe that somethings definitely up. but im not sure what.
Could you do a video touching on relationships with your teammates throughout the years?
Unless my timelines are wrong, I'm guessing the unnamed player who he mentioned was suspended was Fernando Martinez.
What was your walkup song? Why did you chose it? How exactly did you choose it?
Matt did you watch your team's games on TV when you were often injured?
Great video! Loving the thumbnail too
Can u do a video on how chewing tobacco isn't so common any more
You should check out The Hard Hat by Jon Gordon as well!
Are there players who act very cocky and try to boss around the club house?
hey I got a dumb questions what if they cant get a hold of you in the off season?
And.... They'd watch you piss in a cup. Lol. Love the videos man!
Thanks!!!
Also, for questions you choose to answer, consider giving a shoutout to the user who posed the question
What age did you play your best baseball
How to handle not making my highschool team even though I felt like I showed my best and felt like I did better than half those kids there?
What was your approach in your first at bat of the game?
How does it work with choosing your walkup song?
How prevalent are amphetamines/greenies?
Nice Vid! 😁 What's your favorite baseball team and did you want to be drafted to them?
Do they test the big name athletes more often?
Lol! Thats how it is in the military during piss tests. Sometimes the whole company was stuck for hours because 1 guy couldnt pee.
Got us out of that days PT at least lol.
What is in your collection like?
My question is, what was it like to be a free agent?
What are your thoughts on pine tar? What tools are used in the on deck circle for your bats?
I always used tar, but I used a stick, not the actual pine tar rag. That and a donut in the on-deck circle. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Who is your favorite MLB player
Great video matt
Do they only test when you get to the show or do they test in the minor leagues too?
Pierce Thomas I think it's in the minors too because he said he played 8 years and got tested once in the OFFSEASON. And he didn't play in the majors for 8 years
i know that you use the same thumbnails for each of your videos but could you use pictures or some more eye catching thumbnails to increase your views.
I imagine PEDs are pretty rampant within the stars and veteran players. It probably takes years to get into that culture.
What type of things do the umpires say to the players
Can you make a video about arguing and talking with the umpires
What testing for other drugs like marijuana and cocaine? And also were managers, coaches, and other staff tested?
I'll make a video, but yes we got tested for everything in minors. And I'm not sure about managers and coaches. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Marijuana is ok to use in baseball since like 2011 I believe. From what I’ve heard, as long as you don’t get arrested you will never be disciplined for it.
Was anyone falsely accused of steroids ?
Could you do one walk-up songs?
Soldiers, for their UPL, also ... ALWAYS ONE GUY that waits as long as possible on purpose. When you're the one responsible for what the unit gets done, there guys are frustrating. Don't be THAT guy.
Let's go Stanton.
Dan Da Man L
Dan Da Man Let's go Gary
Gary my boy
Trust me as someone who has taken Alot of piss tests... When you have nothing to worry about you just wanna get it over with... Making the guy wait all night just to mess with him? Anytime I seen that it was a stall tactic... I know how it is not to be able to go with someone staring at you but making em wait all night is fishy....
Yup!!!!
Maybe, if you took hgh, you wouldn't have hurt as bad when you hurt swinging the bat?
Maybe!
Robinson Cano?
who watching the home run derby
Me
Junior Burch let's go judge
1k subs with no videos! he is a beast
1k subs with no videos! 513 is insane
He hit it 513 he's a monster
lol i really dont like the idea of having some guy watch me pee into a cup =/
Haha most don't, but you get used to it. Thanks for watching!!
When I joined the military there was a guy who watched me pee, it's definitely awkward when someone is watching you. It didn't help that the guy was a total asshole and he looked like Bob Saget.
You should do a video about all Star game or hr Derby
I'm surprised that they didn't implement blood testing earlier
lol just grab all these free syringes when you walk out
That thing about only being able to catch hgh if it was recently injected was probably a lie to catch more people lmao
4:18 Anabolic. they check for Anabolic. ;)
Should steroid users be allowed in the HOF?
I think so. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@AntonelliBaseball I wish this opinion was more common.
Ever hear of players having low Testosterone and on replacement therapy and TRT policies within ball?
I have not, but I'm sure some have. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Drug testing in the military was the very same way....lol
Letttttssssss goooooo⚾️⚾️
I’m goin guess the teammate he was talking about was Clay Hensley
Nope not him! Thanks for watching and commenting!
He won a WS with the Giants though I believe so that’s cool.
The testing process sounds just like random urinalysis in the Navy.
First
You are oblivious if you don't think steroid use is rampant in MLB
I don't know if I would say rampant...I only heard one player talk about it and never saw a single player use them. I'm sure some guys are though. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Antonelli Baseball Well yea of course no one talks about it or inject in a public setting. That's just common sense. Gear gives you such a huge advantage that it would be crazy if most players weren't on it. And like you said, testing is easily beatable.
Have you ever gotten thrown out
. I cant hear anything! talk louder
arod
Why do they watch you
If you'd had some roids and hgh you'd spent alot less time injured
Idk if he's telling the entire truth but I wouldn't be surprised if 20-30% of the MLB players (starters or not) took or still take some advanced PED. They are not easy to detect like Jose Canseco said and my friend was an athletic trainer for numerous DIV 1 NCAA baseball teams and half of them took peds to get the edge he said. So what makes people think these many MLB players dont take something?
I'm sure some do as well. But I never saw it happening. Thanks for watching!!
1st again view and comment
tony Marques think again buddy
Bruh bring steroids back. I would rather the offense have an advantage
Dude, I have to know what the managers really say to the pitchers when they come out on to the mound. are they really just telling the guy to chill out and throw a strike lol? I know you heard all that shit at 2nd.
Well.... if it's the manager they're changing pitchers. The pitching coach could come out and see a problem with mechanics, talk about the scenario or could be out there to calm them down. Depends on what point of the game
Funny clubhouse stories?
Can players smoke cigarettes?
Edwieno Dumbest question ever?
You're the anti-Canseco. Thanks for that.
Which MLB players smoke cigarettes?
Colin Ashenhurst pitchers lol they never run anywhere
What where females like in the show
Very nice (Borat voice)...just kidding. I had a girlfriend/wife so not sure haha. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Maybe the padres should of took steroids 🙄
Does this include weed? And shit like that?
Btw video idea would be is do players drinker alcohol on trips? Or in general or smoke weed?
Can u do a video on how chewing tobacco isn't so common any more
I think they made a stink about guys having their dip tins visible in their pocket
