You know, I can respect Zambrano. The guy knew he was getting lazy and losing his drive for the game, and instead of taking more money and dragging out a career that had peaked years prior, he opted to fulfill his outstanding contract and go. It’s a bit lazy, but I can respect a person who knows when to walk away.
Another symptom of laziness is blaming of others. And he did do that alot
I think Carlos was the most hated cub of that period even by us cub fans, though it may be a tie with him Milton Bradley and Michael Barrett. The thing is all of these guys were born with a supreme talent and worked at it hard and diligently enough to make it to the big leagues only to go welp I’m here and that’s it absolutely no more drive but 100x more of the attitude.
@@robertbehof683naw I don’t blame him abs do be rough I ain’t fit no more but I remember my young days when I was a gym rat abs where that one work out I’d make excuses for🤣 but for 18 milly I’m doing all the crunches 🤣😂
I respect a player who knows when to retire also. Adrian Beltre being the perfect example. Guy went out on top, in fact his last season was one of his better ones. Torii Hunter also, Torii slugged 22 HR's his last year!
So much more classy than a guy who hangs on going to spring trainings and getting cut, then going to another or accepts a minor league assignment.
@@kendallevans4079 I can respect them both. There is nothing shameful about trying to do what you love for as long as you can. If I made the MLB, I'd try to stay in longer than Julio Franco
It was spring training, and John Kruk was significantly overweight.
He was also drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. A woman recognized him, and she approached him. “You should be ashamed of yourself. You’re an athlete,” she said.
Kruk responded, “I ain’t an athlete, lady. I’m a baseball player
Meanwhile in Baltimore, Tony Siragusa was lighting a cigarette, adjusting his Belly, putting his foot on a Stool and telling everybody about how he was the Pinnacle of Athleticism.
That "Karen" should mind her own business. If he isn't take care of himself, its HIS career not hers.
@@briangrant9026Karen is the dummy paying your idols salary. Yes, she has every right to comment.
FACTS 💯!
Clayton Kershaw threw a no hitter on June 18th, 2014. The only baserunner was an error by Hanley Ramirez
LMAO "Batting leadoff and BARELY playing left field, Delman Young"
Funny he's an example, and he mentions his pre-MLB reputation. I saw him play minor league ball in Durham just before he got the call. Wasn't lazy yet as far as I knew. 😅
You can’t make video without BJ Upton hitting leadoff. He’s the fastest slow runner in MLB history
Skinny Delmon Young lol
Bruh. If someone told me they would pay me 600 GS to lose 8 pounds I would lose ten. Maybe that's how we could win the battle of obesity. Lol
Love that Zambrano honesty. Least he wasn’t living some fantasy land where accountability doesn’t exist.
Ya so he spit on all our dreams cuz he was poor back in his country? Ya Clemente did the same. Cabrera stopped hitting. Ramirez stopped being Manny. Fernandez stopped.... Well he died
@@stayfaded69if you hated your job, and had enough money to never work another day in your life, would you continue to work?
Watching the Panda pitch a perfect inning against the dreaded Dodgers has been one of the highlights of my Giants fandom!
Being a rays fan Delmon young was so sad to me. Him, elijah dukes, and bj upton had so much potential. All showed flashes but never fully put it together
The Devil Rays also had Josh Hamilton, Toe Nash, and Rocco Baldelli.
That’s two outfields worth of young talent who never seemed to reach their potential (at least with Tampa).
@@warlordofbritannia true. Not to mention the only guy that fully panned out for us Carl Crawford being in the same draft class as Josh Hamilton
After being DFA'ed by the BoSox, he was re-signed by the Giants as a utility player and pinch hitter, his days of starting at third behind him. He still had some "flash" left, especially when, to cap off a very miserable 2017 season, the Panda hit a walk-off home run in front of the Oracle Park faithful to end the season on a high note.
Runs in their blood can't help it
Hustle can turn a guy with marginal talent into a 20 year career
I did see a clip of my favorite non-hustle play in the opening montage. Nick Swisher hitting a dribbling roller that he just figured would stay foul. Not only did he not make a move to first, he turned his back completely. Bryan Pena followed it as it rolled fair, he then joyfully grabbed it and and tagged out a confounded Swisher in the small of the back to end the inning.
Carlos Zambrano was a switch hitting pitcher. That's bonkers. Damn he was skilled
Regardless of what Pete Rose did off the field, you can never say he wasn't a ball player. Sometimes heros have a flaw we rather not know about
He deserves to be in the HALL!
The problem is we just never know. I personally Love that he bet ON his team and was never busted betting against them...but..What if he had? How do we know he hadn't before? Did he do it during his career? Did he throw games? So on and so forth, he opened the door for everything to be in question, especially with Baseball being a Game where the best failed 7 times out of 10. What if he deliberately failed one time out of 10? What if it was one of 100 but the one time it would really mean something?
Just like cheating in a relationship, it opens up endless questions and you can no longer trust any of it.
@@justinlast2lastharder749 We have no real view of the character of the ones in the Hall, so I base it on what they did on the field. Pete Rose deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, hands down.
C.C. Sabathia---in all his years pitching for the Yankees he only had one putout at 1st base. he just wouldn't cover the bag.
I love how this channel has evolved! I love the commentary and research. Thanks buddy 🍻
The only reason the Red Sox signed Pablo Sandoval was to sell Panda hats at the team store.
Seeing players refuse to try to leg out an infield grounder always annoys me. Sure, you're most likely going to be out, but if you hustle you could cause the fielder to panic and rush a throw getting you first and maybe even second if they throw it away.
Many rookies hustle to first base all the time. Then, after a few years of tutelage by veteran leaders like Manny Machado, they get with the program.
It’s worse when you don’t hustle and would have been safe if you had
Machado is a bum
50 thousand an at bat and can't run.
@@larryyoder4861 I almost give Manny a pass because he had two catastrophic knee injuries on plays running to first.
Amazing editing, finding all those very relevant clips. I'm impressed and will sub.
When I was a teen I worked at an outlet mall across the street from a minor league stadium. I went to take the trash to the dumpster and when I opened up the gate and walked in Sandoval was sitting between the two dumpsters eating a full pie. I’m guessing the team had him on a diet and he was hiding in there so he wouldn’t get in trouble. That’s the only thing that makes sense.
These guys are all legends but the part when he broke his belt when he swung I died 😂😂😂
That narrator voice is haunt-ing. Drives me in-sane.
It's so fucking annoying.
I would really love to see a video on bartolo colon. He has one of the craziest careers that I’ve ever seen
Hanley a GREAT slob for this list! As a Blue lifer, I had to watch him scale balls into the visitors’ dugout every home game. His number shoulda been *“E6.”*
Ron Woods played right field for the Yankees. He was famous for throwing out lazy runners at first on routine pop singles. He was great to watch.
Rendon should’ve been on this list
I'm shocked that Javyv isn't on here
Rendon doesn't even qualify because his sample size is to small. He only plays 20-30 games a year,
If it wasn’t just mlb half of my teammates would be on this list
To be fair, it was later discovered that Sanchez was suffering from a groin injury during that game against the Rays. But point taken on him being a passed ball machine!
Babe Ruth actually got operated on for gallstones I believe during the so called bellyache heard around the world. Not to mention, the guy played almost an entire second season throughout his career during the barnstorming tours and trips to Japan. Certainly he abused his body and could have taken better care of himself. But then again almost every player was living that lifestyle back then.
There were no pensions nor revenue sharing, not that radio-TV and cable revenue streams existed, and "merch" was rather minimal. The better players made good money while they were good, which wasn't for long, and the also-rans made chump wages. But still that beat working fifteen hours a day on a farm, or in the coal mines, or long shifts in dirty, dangerous factories.
I agree that Sanchez was dealing with a groin injury during the game against Tampa. He apparently didn’t want to aggravate it even further
For older players (50s and before) if the term "clubhouse lawyer" was attached to a player, it was code for "troublemaker".
LOL.....And in the military I think they are called "Guard Shack Counselors"
This will be critized and he is my personal favorite player but... Ken Griffey Jr.
He was amazing but strictly on raw and natural talent. His work ethic was extremely lacking. He hustled when he played but if his work ethic were better i doubt he would have had as many injuries.
Yup, and it didn't help that he was very aloof and a bad interview. People only know what they see and hear.
I was so excited when Griffey went back to Seattle but then he looked like he didn't even want to be there. Pretty sad.
@@l.e.miller1208 He didn't have much left n the tank by then
That was kind of self inflicted though. In 2009 he hit 19 homers in part-time playing time while being in terrible shape. He at least could have been productive in 2009 if he'd been in better shape. @@kendallevans4079
Dishonorable mention: Chris Brown (3B, Giants, Padres, Tigers, 1984-89). Brown's malingering, weight issues and lack of hustle are why he didn't last long with any of the three MLB teams he played for. Most notably, in 1989, he got cut by Detroit just a month and a half into the regular season (just months after the Tigers coughed up their #3 starter, Walt Terrell, to acquire him). Prior to his release, team president Jim Campbell said, "There's a cancer in this clubhouse that we've got to get rid of."
Good mention on Hot Springs, I am from Arkansas and have been to the area where the new fieds are ad old fields were. Tough to imagine Hot Springs in those days, Al Capone and Babe Ruth kick' it. Legendary , not saying that happened, but it would be pretty dang cool if it did. Thamk you forand many before it .
Andruw Jones is the laziest player i have ever seen. Non-speedsters like Paul LoDuca and Brad Hawpe took an extra base when Jones played their routine singles lackadaisically, with the submarine flip back toward the infield not even getting near 2nd base ahead of the runner. Then, when the Braves had finally had enough of him at age 30, he signed with the Dodgers and showed up to spring training very fat. When asked about his weight, he laughed it off. He was told that the fans might not appreciate their team's big free agent showing up so out of shape, so he said he didn't care what the fans thought. If he was such a great player, why did very smart baseball guys like John Scheurholz and Bobby Cox let him walk out the door as a free agent in the prime of his career? I can't believe there are people who want to put Andruw Jones in the Hall of Fame.
Modern Giancarlo Stanton is hard to watch on the bases… or just in general.
I hear he’s not allowed to sprint because his body is so fragile that it’d result in too much injury risk
Money makes u weigh more than u world normally
Needs more Yuniesky Bentancourt
You forgot about Derek Bell. How could you miss Mr. Operation Shutdown?
Bell didn't really have a career of laziness though. Plus he got punished immediately iirc by being cut.
Damn -- pretty harsh on Pete Rose. He bet on his own team. BFD.
Yeah and the whole sleeping with underage girls thing BFD
with a gambling ad in the video too
were you his bookie? loooolz
Manny got the bag and turned back into Old Manny...
The Sandoval Belt Burst 😂
Hustle. That's why I like guys like David Eckstein.
Delmon was the phenom brother of Dmitri young. Supposed to be farrrr better than him and a future hall of famer yet he finished with a career WAR of 0.6…while Dmitri finished with a career WAR of 10.0. Considering his talent, what a failure
I loved Young on the Tigers
dude said ' barely playing left field ' lol 🤣
I guess you could say, they didn't make the cut
Both Cano and Sandoval can now be lazy while playing in the new Qatar baseball league LOL
Robinson Cano’s quest for 3000 hits failed because he refused to hustle down the line. Joking. Sort of. Lazy ass player.
I would love to see a most non lazy players in baseball history. Or even just modern day works.
I second this!
Please make a “hardest workers” in MLB video
@@papillonvu That would be a good one. From Fielding To Baserunnjng. Hustle. What they do outside the field. Would be a great video.
Mike Piazza, Pete Rose and Dustin Pedroia have to be on that list
I see the Angels a lot. On routine ground balls, Mike Trout never dogs it to first base.
I agree, especially if you DON'T limit it to great players. For example, Bobby Meacham was an also-ran, .236 career hitter with no power and not good in the field either. But damn the dude hustled. If he hit a grounder to the pitcher, he was out of the box faster than Usain Bolt sprinting out every 4th inning ground ball like it was a track and field final.
Losing the drive and passion to play the game is a lot different than being lazy. Not to mention that if the one example of laziness is not wanting to do physical therapy then that feels like a huge stretch to me.
Dude… Pete Rose’s nickname was Charlie Hustle! You even come back around to mention hustle at the 30 second mark. File under: You Can’t Catch Them All.
Nobody played the game like Pete, he should be in the Hall of Fame.
Carlton Fisk was also a tough, hustling player, even though he never had Rose's wheels. I still remember when he yelled at Deion Sanders to leg out a weak grounder and bellowed at him all the way to first.
Pete Rose is absolutely a role model.
zumbrano was definitely a wild card
Pete Rose is THE on-the-field role model.
I tried to play rec-softball with his intensity. It was my only "skill." 😂
I can not STAND lazy athletes. They are obscene.
Off the field, it's pretty insane to think that he bet on games he played and managed, but i guess i could see how he could bet against his own team if they seemed underwhelming or injured and he had the drop on it before anyone else. It's pretty possible that his protegé had a gambling problem and used rose to try to make something out of it, who knows.
@@antonioreconquistador yeah also the whole sleeping with underage women goes a lot farther past degenerate human than just gambling on games
I sucked at sports (self assessment) so I did the lil things. Hit the screen. Crash the boards. Bunt the runner over. Go the other way to advance the runner. It's grit. I rather have the drive for perfection than have all the skills and wrongfully believe I know better
@@antonioreconquistadorsupposably he never bet against his team
Bad idea! Rec softball is just that RECREATIONAL as in it's suppose to be FUN! Guys like you are asked to leave the team. We don't need fantasy MLB coaches out there yelling at people.
Gotta give an honorable mention to Gary Sheffield. HoF talent, but just didn't care.
That’s why he was called, “Charlie Hustle”!!
Should just be called “pedophile”
@@fio6620 based on what? Post your evidence
@@heyman23233he’s literally admitted he slept with a girl when she was 16 and he was 32 and she says she was even younger than that… the evidence Pete rose is a pedophile is that Pete rose admitted he’s a pedophile lmao
@@heyman23233”A woman says she had a sexual relationship with baseball legend Pete Rose that began in 1973 when she was 14 or 15 years old and continued for several years, according to federal court documents filed Monday. In response, Rose acknowledged that he had sex with the woman, who was not identified, but said he believed she was 16 at the time, old enough to legally consent in Ohio.”
14 year old . Just cause you “think” she’s 16 dosnt mean a god damn thing and isn’t a defense.
@@heyman23233 I can’t post links, just look it up lmao, I’m sure you know how to use the internet
Robby Cano!!! Never broke into a sprint as a Mariner. He ALWAYS ran like he was in first leg of a marathon.
SALUTE TO SILENT GEORGE HENDRICK THE MAN WHO NEVER RAN TO FIRST BASE ON A GROUND BALL
why did you delete all of your compilation videos? I appreciate the essay videos tho
As a native from Puerto Cabello is kinda sad seeing 2 players from the same city on this list,both pablo and carlos had a lot of impact on local little leagues when they were playing at their peak
I can never forgive Hanley Ramirez because he blew Clayton Kershaw's perfect game on a simple ground ball to short.
Also, you should have mentioned Andruw Jones. Signs a 2-year, $36 million dollar contract with the Dodgers. Shows up in 2008 out of shape and overweight. Does little to nothing to improve that and massively underperforms for the season. Eventually gets placed on the disabled list and gets released by the Dodgers before the 2009 season. Then proceeds to blame the lack of fan support for his underperformance.
Don’t blame Steve. -Serengeti
Hanley screwing up kershaw's perfect game will forever be etched in my mind.
Since I hate ALL things Kershaw and Dodgers, it's one of my fondest memories!
@@kendallevans4079 Not a baseball fan, huh?
@@lovelessissimo Fan since 1974.
@@kendallevans4079 No, you may have watched baseball since 74, but if you can't appreciate the phenomenal spectacle of a perfect game, then you aren't really a baseball fan at all. Mindlessly hoping one team wins over another, with no understanding of what is even happening in front of you.
@@lovelessissimo Are you describing yourself? I bet you don't know what a balk is? Showing off your ignorance by being a fan of Kershaw only shows how vapid and superficial you are. BTW: Were you even alive in 1974? Doesn't sound like it
...remember Kent Hrbek, twice the first baseman for Series winning Twins teams? One of the most beautiful left handed power swings EVER, a good (if overrated) glove, you'd remember Shamu if he hadn't let himself get fat early and stay that way. A good ballplayer who might have been great. I still love Herbie, though...
Fernando Tatis was a stud until he left St Louis when he became a lazy bum. The man just didn't want to play or do anything.
if I signed a 91 Million dollar contract in MLB I wouldn't bust my ass....it's MLB, they have to pay me. lol
Gary Sanchez.
0:12, I too would sprint after being walked by Nolan Ryan, because I know I am not reaching base any other way
I will say that Delmon Young was clutch for the O's in 2014.
Crazy that hes not even 40 now, he was supposed to be the world for the rays and his contact/clutch was insane when he was healthy.
I didn’t watch the video yet but if Gary Sanchez is not on here then idk 🤔
I always see the Sean Casey 7-3 putout on these lazy player videos. He thought the 3rd baseman caught it and then got thrown out. I don’t think that’s a lazy play.
Sandavol was built like Ortiz 🤣🤣🤣
When the Sox signed Hanley and they announced he was gonna play the outfield I was like uhm what ?
The real question is, how high up Gleyber Torass is?
Shocked Chris Davis isn't on here. He got caught lying about seeking coaching for his struggles and then told the press he wasn't to try to change his approach at the plate.
It sucks to be good at something you hate.
Could have added Barry Bonds, Giancarlo Stanton, Keith Hernandez, Josh Donaldson, and Gary Sanchez this list. Stanton doesn't even run hard on the basepaths in playoff games.
The fact that Adam Dunn and Alfanso Soriano could roll out of bed and have that good a career actually make them better.
As an Astros fan, Zambroni, Pujols, and Ben Sheets were our daddys.
As a Angels fan Pujols was our Achilles heel for 9 years!
During our National League Central days, Puhols was definitely the Astros biggest nemesis. He was a phenomenal hitter during his Cardinal years. I couldn’t wait for him to become a free agent. I was horrified when Pujols signed with the Angels shortly after finding out the Astros were moving to the AL West. I thought, “he’s following us”.@@kendallevans4079
It makes no sense even an average, let alone below average, defender can be at shortstop - the hardest position to field (perhaps catcher but you're fielding less when balls are in play)
Who is the cf at 1:11?
Yadier Molina one of the best ever catchers, but when he ran to first base batting, he didn't exactly run hard
LOVE your videos but could you please do SOMETHING about the undulating tone in each of your STATEMENTS? It gets OLD real QUICK!
-William Shatner
Pete rose played with passion? You mean the guy that got caught betting against his team and throwing the game?
Pete Rose didn't sprint to first when he walked, he ran. Brandon Nimmo sprints to 1B when he walks.
Cespedes better be on this list.
Expect Alek Manoah and Vlad Guerrero Jr to be added to this one day
Get on with it man, why the 10 minute intro?
Duh just skip ahead
You can’t tell me BJ Upton didn’t get lazy in Atlanta. Saying he worked hard is an insult to hard workers.
1 minute gambling ad in a vid featuring Pete Rose, ha!
I fuck with Pete Rose he should be in the Hall of Fame.
Good video….all true
This is nitpicky, and I’m aware and sorry. But in a public speaking critique; you finish every sentence like you’re asking a question. The video is good
This will probably sound crazy after the season he just had but Acuña is pretty lazy. Not lazy enough to make this list but lazy enough to piss me off once every 5 games or so. So many infield hits he could have had but didn’t hustle. Sometimes he looks like a high school kid out there in a MLB players body.
Whenever some laughs at an announcer calling someone a "ballplayer" just use any of the guys in this video to explain who isn't one..
"Pete Rose is no role model"
Respectfully, disagree
Oh boy
As a longtime player, there is a 90% chance that ump earned that bat
I like the videos but the inflection in your narrating is so monotonous it becomes very distracting... I had a struggle with this as well and i recommend some speaking classes and groups. Toast masters is a good one. 👍
THIS.
An old school example would be Frank Howard. He would hold out for more money every spring training solely because he didn't like working out.
When did you write this comment? Did he pass away the same day??
@@marcus242 I didn't even know he died until just now. My condolences.
Asking for more money isn't being lazy. He played before free agency. Dude had a career 142 OPS+ you don't do that by being lazy.
I think playing in Boston brought out the worst in Sandoval. He probably overate to cope with stress and the Boston fans and media can be brutal.
No he just plain sucked the fat one
Manny fucking Ramirez.... the most painful defense and baserunning I've ever had to watch as a 51 yr old lifelong Red Sox fan.
Sandoval definitely belonged in here, though. I will give them that
Pujols never ran-out a grounder
