Alternate Title: 1000 Ways to Call Jamie Moyer Old
Lol
Lol
This one was a bit overdone...
Literally what i was thinking
Basebal Doesn't Exist get to the point within a sane amount of time challenge. Difficulty Level: Impossible
It is the year 2124. Jamie Moyer is on his 12th comeback tour since retiring at age 99. His pitches have become so slow they actually go back in time, hitting the catcher's mitt before the ball leaves his hand. He isn't just the starting pitcher for an MLB team, he's the starting pitcher for EVERY MLB team. No one has scored a run in 3 years.
Dang it, I wanted to see that
I'd like to believe he got the new Cyborg arm, but tweaked it himself to throw his speed and everyone can't hit it because they are used to 150mph now.
It is the year 3000. Jamie Moyer's head in a jar is in his 23rd comeback. His pitches still confound batters with how slow and accurately placed they are.
I too want to see the reverse tachyon changeup live...guess I need to live another 100 years.
I laughed like a seal at this.
Bro, you did not need to destroy this man by explaining how old he was lmfao.
"HE IS OLDER, THAN THE DIRT YOU WALK ON!"
"HE IS OLDER, THAN MOVIE THEATER POPCORN!"
"HE IS SO OLD, HE SAT NEXT TO JESUS IN THE 2nd GRAD!"
Okay man, let the man pitch :/
Tears
I think it's hilarious. Young folk can't stand outliers. The obsession with age is always amusing. This whole video is almost whiney.
“He’s so old he sat next to Jesus in second grade” got me😂😂😂
He's older than the internet.
He’s older than the horse and buggy lols
My favorite Jamie Moyer commercial was during his Seattle days. Jamie's throwing in spring training and the radar gun is showing 97-99. One of the guys asks, 'Is that in miles?' and Wilson (Seattle's main catcher at the time) said, 'No, it's in kilometers. Jaime got it in France and seems to like it.' Still funny to this day if you ever watch Jamie pitch.
And I thought nothing would beat marshawns beacon plumbing commercial. QUIT FREAKIN'! CAWLL BEACON!
Another dub for the metric system
ua-cam.com/video/3aE5BvyqiAU/v-deo.htmlsi=LeByOqWGGo1QG4L9
I also liked the one where the throws "The ol Jamie Moyer changeup" and the batter and Dan Wilson have an entire conversation while the ball is in the air.
The best part was the "Ooh la la" by Jamie at the very end of the commercial 😂
So this guy threw slow his entire career, extending the longevity of his time playing professional baseball. Sounds like a genius to me
Hey, if you can get outs, it's a great strategy. Worked for Tim Wakefield too.
@@elduderino5390 Yet today's pitchers are taught to throw 99mph fastballs and 89 mph sliders. Even though they rarely pitch more than 5 innings, they still blow their arms out.
Particularly if it’s a 20 mph contrast to everything else they see
Wakefield. 'Nuff said 😂
@@fr2ncm9 I mean N Ryan threw harder than they do today and had a career as long as Moyers. Probably more to it than just speed.
Just add more context about the 5 U.S. presidents during Moyer's career, 3 of which served 2 terms and 1 was in his second term when he debuted.
doesn't need to add more on why his ancient
@@madxD144you may not have needed it, but clearly people wanted it 🤷
stohp he has a fa.. wait he's a grandpa
We have had enough contezt
@@JACK-yy3xm speak for yourself
this is the definition of wily veteran, he has forgotten more about pitching than most mlb pitchers know today, and he can read hitters, because he has seen them all
Moyer is a mediocre pitcher, journeyman at best
@@cyclopsvision6370 ok? the fact he's able to be even average in the MLB for this long with his pitching style is still incredible
@@cyclopsvision6370 He's just outside of the top 100 in WAR for a pitcher. Over 25 seasons. I wouldn't call that mediocre. He might not be remember as one of the all time greats but his longevity is definitely remarkable.
@@Mr_Boyer The the last 10 years of Moyers' career was below average. It also says a lot about a team's minor league system that they didn't have someone in AAA or AA that could outperform Moyer and take his roster spot.
@cyclopsvision6370 he struck you out looking didn't he?
Moyer was the last active MLB player older than me, so I wanted to see him pitch forever. Amazing story.
Mine was Dave Winfield. I hated that more than turning 40. Having Nolan Ryan last a long time also gave me hope, 7 years older than me.
You're lucky. My last guy, Dave Winfield, only made it to 43.
I never thought about that, but yeah that would be a hard thing to realize.
Bro has beef with Jamie Moyer 💀
Ong 😭 🙏
Bro keeps calling him old. He ain’t even that old
Ichiro just turned 50 (51?) and has been out of the league for a bit. Moyer still going strong(ish). I think the constant comparisons is more about showing how much of a stand out/anomaly he is versus a jab at him.
BOOM!!!
That's a weird take after a 26 minute video showing how awesome Moyer is. You must be from Philadelphia.
This just shows how important location is, I throw around 77 and can barely beat a little league team.
I could totally beat a little league team. I bet they’ve never even been in a real fight. It wouldn’t even be close lol
@@channingtaintum yeah but i’m not him
@@todddafrog2694 It was a joke about how I could beat up a bunch of children, Todd.
Well if you learn command a bit better, you could probably beat a little league team even though you throw so slow
@@twite5462 ah that’s my bad
Jamie Moyer has just shy of 50 WAR. Considering his one-of-a-kind longevity, he should probably be in Hall of Fame conversations - even though he fell off the ballot in 2018 and also probably shouldn't be there.
I love having guys with interesting careers in the Hall. Moyer wasn't a good enough pitcher to get in on skill and impact, but the Hall of Fame is a museum, and Moyer is definitely a guy worth remembering.
He's in the record books for oldest winning pitcher and it's hard to see him losing that distinction any time soon. Maybe as time goes on, that achievement coupled with his longevity and unique career will get him over the hump. 269 wins and 2400 strikeouts seems pretty darn good to me. That's 35th and 47th out of all pitchers in the history of the league. Seems like you could make an argument.
His own exhibit case in the museum seems more appropriate. He was far from a HOF pitcher. I think if he came back as a coach or announcer and did a decent job, they might put him in for a total contribution to baseball. Although, if it really was about fame, he should be in.
Baseball is old and has many oddities. If Cooperstown had The Hall of Amazing Feats, someone like Moyer or Maris could get a plaque. But the entire museum is already a hall of amazing feats with the HOF at the end.
Moyer played for my Seattle Mariners for years and was beloved in the city and was one of the most underappreciated pitchers in MLB history
let em all know. we had a lot of legends who didn't get the credit they deserved. i still think Edgar is the greatest DH to ever play the game.
We loved his Philly years. He was from the extended area.
Jamie Moyer should be a hall of famer simply for longevity and counting stats. Dude has records that will never be broken in modern ball.
Jamie Moyer is a Hall of Famer in my book. The man had NO MLB tools in his kit and played 25 seasons with the best of the best.
I mean his career ERA starts with a 4 which I think automatically excludes you. But it's worse than that, his is 4.25 with a 4.49 FIP. He's the all-time leader in home runs allowed while striking out no more than 6.1 guys per 9 in his entire career. Pitching 4000 innings is very well and good but over his career he was basically an average starter. Under 50 war too if you put stock in that sort of thing.
He didn’t need to throw hard. He probably didn’t want to because he seen everyone was getting Tommy John surgery. His strategy obviously worked out with the longevity.
What he makes up for speed he has in the finesse department
Jamie Moyer is a LEGEND. He was a key piece of the 116-win, 2001 Seattle Mariners, and won a World Series with the Phillies a decade later.
L E G E N D !
Jaimie Moyer went to my high school. Souderton Area High School. There’s a big picture of him in the athletic wing
That’s crazy! I just moved to Souderton recently. Awesome to know such a legend originated from our little area.
absolute LEGEND in Seattle, brother.
Petition to move Moyer to the foyer
Welcome to the "Moyer Foyer", presented by watch maker TAG Heuer...
They had photographs back when he was in high school?
Moyer might be the strongest example I've ever seen of using psychology in baseball.
Can't pitch super fast? Pitch in ways that will make the batter anxious and unsure what to swing at so they keep getting themselves out.
Mariners Legend Jamie Moyer. love this. got to watch him for a majority of his career here in Seattle. dude is a shining example of having great "stuff" and not needing to overpower his opponents. Maddux did it later in his career, as well (but obviously had better velocity). i never thought i'd see the day where Jamie retires. he must've had an incredible recovery regimen and definitely knew his bodies limits. i don't think i ever saw him feature anything that was overtly taxing on the arm throughout his entire career lol. my man's career spanned longer than i've even been alive (i was born 1987). i have nothing but respect for a guy like this, who can break the mold of a prototypical player. you love to see it.
Jamie was a stud for the Phillies 😂😂😂 his games were so boring to watch as a kid but as you get older you realize how crazy good he was them late 2000s early 2010s Phillies team were everything 😂😂
You know what I haven’t seen enough content on. Julio Franco. That dude hit in the MLB till he was like 50!
Loved when he was on the Braves, one of my favs!
For those wondering, by "like 50" he means 48
@@hankglidden1463 pretty damn close to 50 I couldn’t remember the exact age
@@TheTEN24 Wasn't trying to knock you lol, just saying.
Baseball doesn’t exist is the most underrated UA-camr
Fax
Agree
True
For sure
Fr
He needs to make hall of fame for his career in his 40 -49 year old seasons 😂
I didn't know who Moyer was until this video, but he's my favorite baseball player of all time.
I met him in San Diego where he was a dad at my nephew’s school. Nice dude reminisced about Ranger days.
Was that school UCSD? Moyer didn't live in San Diego that I know of, but if you meant high school my guess is Cathedral Catholic (they have a good baseball program, and Moyer is rich and catholic).
@@JMacSD cathedral
Trevor Hoffmans kid too. Just a carmel valley type
So did @siennabase
@@ThatFaceMelter94 shes smoking
Cool to see he’s doing this for a sport that doesn’t even exist!
I am an A's fan and remember Moyer with The Mariners. The kicker is that he called his own pitches. Not the catcher, Moyer. That made it that much tougher to steal signs. That is in addiction to having timing all screwed up.
Notice the correlation between a long career and not throwing harder than you need.
"He is older than lite beer"
Thats incredible commentary
Untrue though.
7:35 I’m turning 36 soon and the fact that this dude, an active MLB starting pitcher, was drafted before i was even born, is the absolute wildest sports statistic I’ve ever encountered. He’s a legend
Moyer's last MLB season was in 2012
I’ll never forget watching that complete game live. Couldn’t believe what I was watching. One of the moments that made me a true fan of baseball
Love that Jamie could come to the hometown team and win himself a WS here. If there is anyone who deserved it it was him
Nice, he doesn't want to rip his shoulder apart.
That's World Series Champion Jamie Moyer!
Easily one of my favorite UA-cam videos. As a Mariners fan I love me some Jamie Moyer. You can’t help but smile at this. Dude just had it. Whatever it was, he had it.
As a Braves fan it's so funny watching all these old Braves players from when I was a kid, "I remember him, I remember him, oh I forgot all about him" then suddenly... With Jesse Chavez on the mound...
Some things never change.
It's no joke to say this channel has got me watching baseball somewhat consistently for the first time in my life. Unfortunately I'm a Jays fan. 😢😢
Get ready to sell your Bichette jersey...
Could be worse. You could be a Rockies fan.
Jamie Moyer was so criminally underrated. Miss him.
Secret lingerie.. only in baseball!!
Chad Innings Eater was invented for Jamie Moyer.
When I was in my teens, Moyer was already an old man pitching in Seattle, and fans loved him. Couldn't stop laughing the whole video.
Not many people would have persisted through his tough years. Tried to develop a knuckler at 50! Guy loved the game.
jamie moyer is my type of pitcher. soft contact
I don't get why every MLB pitcher doesn't toss in a loopy ephus now and then. MLB hitters often whiff when a position player is brought in when the team has given up. You'd think mixing them in with 90something mph pitches would be even more difficult.
@JMacSD Jamie has given up the most home runs in history (522). Issue is that if a player isn’t making soft contact, they’re taking you yard. I guess players and managers don’t like the risk, so they invest in overpowering hitters with a constant barrage of upper-90’s pitches.
@@sn0ipe333 true. my type of wiffle ball player then lol
*If Jamie Moyer isn’t in the Hall of Fame, then what in the hell are we doing!??*
Thank you. This type of shit is why the hall of fame is there. But no we have bums who vote usually
There will never be another Jamie Moyer. He was so unique every time he went out there but he was the definition of a pitcher. Needed to change speeds and had to locate it to have any outs.
My dad and i talked about this guy a few weeks ago and it’s pretty cool
It’s about time someone shows this man some love! He is a baseball anomaly that will never happen again. Cherish it.
pretty cool how this guy develops such an old character for a game that doesn’t even exist
Moyer was my favorite pitcher of the Phillies' "mini-dynasty" of '07-'11. When Halliday and Lee were pitching their best, you were in awe. But when Moyer pitched his best, you LAUGHED YOUR HEAD OFF!
Moyer's career shows just how important command is. Even if you don't throw hard you can still get outs if you can reliably paint the corners and force batters to swing at pitches outside their comfort zone.
Moyer straight pimpin’. 😂
“Breaking his own record.”
I love this channel.
This is a man going to work. Earning a living for a long time. It's a shame the air in the room is "he's soooo old" jokes and not the billion dollar juiced up arms that only last a few seasons.
I’m 13 and I throw what Jamie Moyer throws. After seeing BDE dogging on him, I’m way less confident 😂
Being 13 and doing it is much different then being 49 your in good shape
You throw 78 mph fast balls at 13 your doing fantastic bud that’s amazing
The question is, will you be able to keep throwing 78 for 25 more years?
@@Dave_the_Dave ask him in 25 years
There is more to pitching than velocity , movement of the ball is very important , along with location , and changing speeds , keeping the hitter off balance
I love this story and didn't know a fraction of it beforehand. Thank you for making it and sharing -- I really enjoyed it.
I used to play many sports and baseball was one of my favorites. After moving to Japan, I was invited to play weekly on a Taiwanese team in Tokyo, where I made good friends and was able to relive a bit of my childhood by getting back on 3rd base. At that time, I was already in my mid 40s and my knees were shot, but it was still fun. Sadly had to move away for work and found myself in Hiroshima, but two years ago I suddenly wasn't able to even walk uphill. Found out I had a large cancerous tumor on my kidney. Been battling it since then. Now I'm 49 and still wish I could go out and play, but I may not even make it to 50. Seeing Moyer's story brought a smile to my face. Thanks again.
He's the epitome of age and treachery beats youth and enthusiasm. Really goes to show you speed, statistics, and spin rate, all has is place, but the key is placement and knowing how to read a batter and induce bad contact.
Very well said!
Everyone’s favorite pitcher on the Mariners in the 90s was Randy Johnson (and rightly so), but I always had a soft spot in my heart for Jamie Moyer. I was always inspired by his no-quit attitude and consistency.
No pitcher can perform at their same level after Tommy Johns surgery.
*Moyer:* Hold my beer...
This channel is what is keeping me sane. I keep rewatching all the vids and still find something new every time. Good job bro 🎉😂
CORRECTIONS:
1: Balls APPEAR faster in little league cause the speed is measured when ball nears the plate, not when it leaves the pitchers hand. so 82 in little league is significantly slower with major league mound distance. So NO, a little leaguer did not throw faster than Jamie Moyer. If he threw from a little league mound he would be much faster than any kid.
2: He did not lead the league in wins at 38. he was tied for second with 20, leader had 21. It was 2001 and there were more wins from pitchers in both leagues that year.
For those who care: Moyer had the best change-up in baseball; it was around 55 mph and had the same trajectory as his fastball, which made it very hard to hit.
This is truly inspirational.
I’ve been a Braves fan since 1993 and I had no clue that we had Jesse Chavez, the same Jesse Chavez you made about sucking everywhere away from the Braves.
Dude pitched for the Braves 16 years. That’s wild.
Also ironic that Chavez is in the league, about to turn 41 and an important cog for a Braves team that’s almost 95% to make the playoffs even if it’s via.
Moyer is so old, he was born when baseball didn’t exist
Man little leaguers are throwing 80+ miles fastballs now?
Call up a surgeon to prep for TJ and a PT to rehab me no way a little leaguer is gonna pitch harder than me. Seriously though that is wild that 12 year olds are pitching that fast
It’s ridiculous. I live in a small town and work several games a year as a little league umpire.
There is a TEN YEAR OLD throwing just below 70 with an unhittable slider.
I’m in high school, and that tiny kid is ten times nastier than I am.
@@JosephDalton-xc1iw I act surprised but we have a little league time that pretty regularly makes the little league world series near me and I know those kids are fucking nasty. Pretty wild to see a kid over a decade younger than me able to put more movement on a ball than I ever could.
This was super fun. I loved the pitch by pitch commentary.
This video was really well done. Great mix of moving back and forth of “real time”
I literally appreciate how you literally used the word literally correctly. This was an amazingly enteraining video. So funny!
You absolute beauty, Jamie. I'm 38 and learning pitching and so this video feels really good.
That was really well done. It was very entertaining to watch! 👍🏻
Very interesting video for anyone who likes baseball, sports, learning at all, or being entertained.
Excellent work
So far the video is Mariners Legends left and right and I am so here for it.
Baseball doesn't exist is so good at stretching a video out to be twice as long as it needed to be I just want to hear about the slow pitches man 😭
I’ve been waiting for you to post the full thing after you posted some clips from this as shorts. It was worth the wait
love this video, great job ! Moyer a legend
I don't follow baseball, haven't really for about 40 years. So I missed this life story, and greatly enjoyed watching it. Heartwarming and inspiring.
I remember a heads up 2 strike at bat Moyer had. 2 Strikes and a wild pitch in the ground, Moyer swung and took first base. I loved that strike out, he simply made a smart play to get on base.
Bro, i'm literally crying out my tears by laughing as i watch this video, and i'm just passed half the video
Fricken legend, gave me chills.
One of my all time favorite Mariners. Loved this guy.
I knew this kid in high school that could throw a fast ball at 70 mph, he was the best pitcher in the entire school, he also had arthritis
Coming out with the coolest stories in baseball yet again.
kinda crazy how this man can make videos about players and a sport that doesnt exist.. props to you..
Awesome video man. Love the content you send out 👍
Jamie Moyer is....the "Julio Franco" of pitchers 😂 And it was awesome to see
Yes it was. 2008 was a year I'll remember for the rest of my life
Based off his numbers just off Wins and Strikeouts. He beats out Jim Palmer in both who is a Hall Of Fame Pitcher. From everything I have season and a World Series under his belt. He deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame.
Control is a thing you just lose less of as you get older, you see it in the NBA where older players will transition into being better shooters towards the end of their career while other parts of their game starts to decline. Same with QBs in the NFL, they become more of pocket passers and will often have higher accuracy even if their air yards decline. Add this with the fact that in baseball the slower your ball is traveling the more effect your different types of pitches will be able to have(same spin will make a slower ball curve more) and how much accuracy has been deincentivized in the game over the years with both pitchers and hitters focusing more on fastballs over well placed balls. Being able to have this level of control or accuracy that you can hold onto longer into your career is kinda the only way to make it that long and still preform well. Still crazy impressive though.
I remember Peyton Manning's last season in the NFL. He was totally noodle armed, but when it got to the playoffs, he was throwing extremely accurate ducks to his guys. It was bizarre to watch, but it helped Denver get a championship.
Moyer was a gotdam artist on the hill. 😮💨
Dave Justice said to Hatteberg in the Oakland film room vs Seattle, ‘You tryin ta study MOYER? There’s only one way to face him: don’t swing.’ 😂
Your videos rule dude, you and a few other channels have gotten me back into baseball. Good luck on the quest to 1 million subs
Edit: Also, I'm 36 and I remember having Moyer's baseball card when I was a little ass kid.
I'll never forget Jamie's short stint with the Rox. It was fun!
We didnt need 500 different “heres how old he is comparatively” segments. After a while it gets old. Great video though other than that
I haven’t been to that many games, but the two coolest things I’ve seen in a game are Derek Lowe’s no hitter in 2011, and Jamie Moyer’s final win of his career. Crazy to see both of em in this video
Hey.. i'm 51.. Dont need to remind me how old i am.. loool
I love Moyer's story! I remember Nolan Ryan's final season and i thought he was old! lol
Love these type of sports vids. Reminds me of jxmmyhighroller vids. Keep up the great work!
Growing up in seattle randy johnson pitching one day and the next day Jaimie moyer was always fun to watch
Super interesting, thanks for the work you put into the video.
This is WAY better than my Mark Eichhorn video. Great work as always BDE!
This is the coolest video ever dude I didn’t understand how crazy this was
3:35 that hat bend got A LITERALLY 90 DEGREE ANGLE GAWD DAYUM
Yooo I love Jamie Moyer so much even though I didn’t realize I was watching him. This is amazing!
