I’m a white guy and I remember a lot of racial slurs towards me and I was like wtf ur white 2
Funniest I seen was someone telling Joey Votto "I remember when you used to be good" and Votto replying with "Yeah, that was right around the time you used to be thin"
Haha that was great! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Wtf I remember that I’m from Cincinnati
Who was the funniest teammate you ever had?
Does the bat boy talk to the players?
"your hitting a buck 80 ya bum....strike 3 sit down"😂😂😂💀💀had me in dead laughter. love the vids Matt!!
Marcus Wilson I agree. Matt is a relatable, down to earth guy. Appreciate the videos.
I just found these videos about two weeks ago and am hooked. I love it when there's good stories that he tells.
I actually found the box scores for your first series in Boise.
You went 3 for 16 with 5 walks in the 5 games. thats a 188 ave but a 380 obp.
So i can totally see why he might have said that and why remembered you actually doing okay.
"Way to hit a buck 80 you bum" Lol sounds like something those old school spectators like back in the 1940s would say
Haha! Thanks for watching our stuff and commenting!
What's your most disappointing moment as a professional baseball player?
Sorry for the depressing question lol
"COME ON, MATT!!! YA GOTTA START EARNIN SOME OF THAT MONEY!!!"" haha that's the best story ever, Hey I live in Boise and grew up right up the road from Hawks Stadium (Memorial Stadium)!! That's awesome !! I'm also a Mariners fan, and Wade LeBlanc has been one of the bright spots on this team since we got him last year. I'm glad we gave him a contract to stick around for a few years!!
That goldilocks story from NC is brutal too. These are like war stories but way better. Thanks for sharing all of these cool experience with fellow baseball fans!!!
Haha thanks so much!!! Thanks for watching our stuff and commenting!!
"Get off your knees, blue-you're blowing the game!"
Pope Ricardo Pianus V% Nattalian Priest my favorite line in the game😂
Heckling at the Durham Bulls games is one of my favorite pastimes. If they laugh at the jokes then you start cheering them on.
Hahaha! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Were you the guy shouting “Shuck you suck” in the outfield seats to JB Shuck 😂
"Wade has said to me probably 6,000 times" 😂😂😂😂
It is no lie lol. Thanks for watching!
Antonelli Baseball Wade LeBlanc?
Yes. Wade LeBlanc. Pitcher (now) on the Mariners.
In 1983, we had season tickets to the AAA Richmond braves. Several times a year, the would play the Pawtucket Pawsox. There was one heckler who loved to work Jackie Gutierrez. He would start at batting practice and continue the whole game. It really got to Gutierrez some nights as he had 3 errors and 3 strikeouts. The WORST way to respond to a heckler is to show that it bothers you.
Omg that’s crazy
"clear the mechanism"
Make a video explaining how hard you had to work in high school to get to play college and major leagues like your routine you had
What are simulated games like for major leaguers coming off the dl?
what goes on in the dugout during the 7th inning stretch. do they the players sing just sit or dose the song just get annoying
Your coach got mad at you for having your hair too long but Jayson Werth is allowed to be a caveman?
Haha I agree! Thanks of watching!!
He didn't look like that until years after he got to the bigs. At first he was a clean cut nerdy looking type guy.
I was the one a few videos ago who commented about the 2-0 count in December. Seeing that you acknowledged my comment was awesome! I really would to know your opinions on the umpires through your travels to the MLB.
I put a video up about that a few days ago I believe. Thanks for watching!!
Hey Blue! If you had one more eye you'd be a cyclops!
Haha! Thanks for watching and commenting!
'' Hey you're hitting a buck eighty you bum, shit im hitting a buck eighty, strike 3 '' lol 🤣🤣actually lol
My favorite thing I've heard a player say is when Brandon Phillips told a cardinal fan
"You wouldn't say shit to me if you were in the other side of this fence."
That sucks
Cardinals fans are assholes too.
Except some of us would.
Fans really chirped in the men’s league I played in. Oh man they dug in on guys. Lol
You know damn well that everyone paused the video to look up your hair in college
Hahaha! Yes!!! Thanks for watching!!
Yep, me too. Couldn't find any though.
I remember getting heckled hard in little league by a teammate's older brother and friends after botching a double play.
I was at a AA game in Akron and the fans where yelling at the 1st baseman about his mother and sister
Matt you're great man. I watch all ur videos
Hey Matt, I'm relatively new to this channel so idk if you've already made a video on this but can you describe how getting paid in an MLB organization works? How often do you get paid?
You seem like such a cool guy, love your perspective man.
Love this video! Keep em coming! Would love to see a video on team rivalries and how teams/players prepare and play differently than other games.
Thanks!!! Will do!
Wade is now one of the best pitchers in the league now
Can you talk about women/ girls future playing baseball.
Best one I ever saw was in Seattle watching the blue jays play the mariners, sitting close to the wall out in LF. These three guys were just heckling the shit out of the blue jays left fielder, every inning and you knew he could hear them. Anyways in the 8th inning he makes this ridiculous diving catch to end the inning, and then he gets up and tosses the ball to the guys with a smile on his face. It was awesome lol.
I’m an M’s fan. And I’ll see if I can get a smile out of Wade when he’s trotting onto the field.
ice788 You can yell “Antonelli wouldn’t throw a slider in the dirt like that, start earning your salary...”
I wanna see those flowing locks again man
Haha too much work! Plus my wife didn't like it lol. Thanks for watching!!
"I can't even get a bag of Chip with your lousy batting average!"
Hey Matt, can you do a video about what kind of food you eat in the dugout during the game? Also I love your vids!
Speaking of heckling do you remember Suspect from Syracuse? He still comes to every game and yells from the first base side.
AlexHurd TV how could he forget that one.
AlexHurd TV that man brings batting gloves to the game to heckle
Update on Suspect. At the game today he heckled a hitter so bad he swung at a 2-2 fastball a foot and a half outside and the the guy was yelling back at him as he walked into the dugout.
I live in Syracuse
Go chefs
I was at an Arkansas Travelers game in Little Rock and happened to be sitting next a woman who had a USMC Drill Instructor voice and she was making fun of one of the visiting team's player's socks. She was really bothering him too.
What are sim game like in the major league and what's it like having a big leaguer on a rehab start please do a video about this
I have an interesting story about heckling a player! It was me my dad and cousin. It was the tigers vs the Yankees my cousin is a Yankees fan. My dad was heckling the shit out the Yankees right fielder Miguel andujar! My dad wasn’t saying anything disrespectful and he was heckling him in Spanish lol. But my dad kept up with it thru 5 innings. I remember an ump came running to the cop in the out field and told the cop something. That next inning security came to up and said we needed to return to our seats and basically told us to be quiet! I was somewhat upset because we weren’t doing anything wrong! So we ended up leaving! The cop didn’t do anything 😂 I remember being so upset I spit on comerica park 😂😂😂😂😂😂 sorry it was the modelo!
Funny stuff Matt. Swimming laps inside my head. Good one. That’s some funny 💩.
I swear I love these videos! I absolutely love hearing your stories Matt! It's the biggest highlight of my day! Thank you so much for sharing!!! 👍
Great video! Can you talk about like players in game injuries? And what's the rehab and disabled list process?
Your Q&A's are the Truth. Great Video. Hope the fam is doing good bro.
When you played Miami, did you hear the UH-HUH guy? He's still doing it very loudly.
1 question how many times in your career were you called a BUM??? Approximately?
That quote was hilarious! 😂
The other day I was playing a team we don't get along with very well (2 bench clearing brawls so far/not including verbal disputes every time we play) so even the parents heckle us. Bottom of the last inning and we're up by 2. Our pitcher loads the bases on three straight walks and some stupid dad yells "Hey be smart he's wild" and our pitcher steps off, looks the guy in the face and yells "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" and proceeded to strike out the side to end the game. Long story short that same dad from the other team got in a first fight with my coach and the other guy got arrested lol MORAL OF THE STORY NEVER HECKLE
Wow crazy! Thanks of watching!!
Can you have any accessories for the trivia and giveaway
How do you suggest trying to compete for a spot on a team with a player that may have a physical advantage?
Just do your best and play 100% all the time. Good luck! Thanks of watching!!
You could call Tonya Harding...
A voice carries better in a college park too. Minor league games get kinda personal also
How did guys in the big leagues help prevent/treat blisters?
Wow great question! I need to make a video on that for you! Thanks of watching!!
Time to retire major league baseball once and for all. It's no longer America's pastime.
How was nbt bank stadium (chiefs) for heckling
Oh they can hear me.
I will forever say now when I watch your videos, "Come on, MATT! GOTTA START EARNIN' SOMEOFTHAT MONEY?!?!"
Hahaha I love it! Thanks of watching!!
Do guys on the 40 man roster get a ring if the team wins the championship? Even if they are playing Triple A ball without major league service time that year?
Hmmm good question! It's never happened to me so not 100% sure. I'll try to find out! Thanks of watching!!
Antonelli Baseball Did you ever find out? I can't find it anywhere on the internet... 🤔
No only the ones who are on the playoff roster.
I know that the Astros players all got a ring. Everyone on the roster not just the playoff roster. Even secretaries, and almost all the office Personnel got a ring. I know a lot of teams give them to people like that, but not all. They really went all out for their first championship. The Stros are a Class organization.
Had some friends involved with the reds. From what I understand the ring decision is an organizational decision.
Yo Wade Leblanc was pretty good on the Mariners last season. We could use him in our rotation right now!
Haha yes he has done a great job! Thanks for watching!!
Diaz would say otherwise about not hearing anything in in the MLB🤣
A couple of years ago I was at Fenway for a Red Sox-Rays game. Late in the game Evan Longoria came up to bat. Two jerks near me started yelling EEEEEEVAAAAA, EEEEEVAAAAAA, EEEEVAAAAA - YOU SUCK! They did this 2 or 3 times. Longoria then promptly put one over the Green Monster. Not a Rays fan by any means, but I couldn't help but smile.
Haha I like it!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Your actually really funny too😂😂”hey you’re hitting a buck 80 you bum”😂😂😂😂
Thanks!!! Thanks for watching!
that's awesome! come on mat. earn some of that money hahaha that's gold!!
Do baseball players get upset when fans are doing the wave? Or throwing a beach ball around?
Nah don't really notice. Thanks of watching!!
Just found your channel and enjoy your view of things baseball. Thanks!
Thanks so much!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
That guy that is always yelling, he is really annoying....cant watch the game comfortably......in chase field in Phoenix, ive seen some security personnel tell these idiots to tone it down or theyre getting kicked out
whats it like to be ejected? or if youve never been ejected then how does the atmosphere change when a big player or your manager gets ejected?
I have a video of that. Put it up a few days ago. Thanks of watching!!
I always think about heckling but them i remember that the played I'd be yelling at is way better of a player than me so i stay quitet lol
Hahaha! Thanks for watching!!
Man I saw you get your first hit in the show against Greg Maddox. That had to of been a surreal moment for you.
It was pretty cool for sure!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Some hecklers are hilarious though!
Someone heckled Harper every time he was at bat and u could hear him saying HAAAARRPER through the tv
Haha! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love your videos! Can you make a video on what it's like dating in the major leagues?
Thanks and sure thing!!! Thanks for watching!!
You know wade leblanc that's awesome
Hey Matt could you do more videos on college ball? I don't really have any specific questions about it lol but it's just interesting to hear some of your college ball experiences. Thanks
Sure thing!!! Thanks for watching!!
Antonelli Baseball - just thought of a question. If you went on an overnight visit when we're looking at colleges during the recruiting process, what were those overnights like? What did you do and that kind of stuff.
You earned your money with this great video.
what's it like to be in a team celebration after winning a series or clinching a division/playoff spot.I was the batboy for a minor league team that had clinched their division and was lucky enough to part of the celebration in the clubhouse. I was about 13yrs old, but the players were nice enough to include me in their celebration. Funny story, my Mom got me from the ballpark that night and drilled me for drinking, even though i didn't have any alcohol, i definitely was covered in it.
COME ON MATT START EARNING SOME OF THAT MONEY
**Astros have viewed and liked the video.**
Can you talk about your experience playing High School Baseball and do you still keep in touch with your old teammates and coaches?, whether that be in Little League, HS, College, the Minors and The Majors.
😅 Man, some of these other college hecklers completely obliterate me when it comes to commitment.
Probably my most vicious heckling moment was at a game where we noticed one of the players looked about 30 in his picture, so we just started picking at his age, asking if those were grey hairs, saying I didn't know they let base coaches play in college, etc.
We managed to get him worked up enough to turn around and tell us to shut up (a little more colorfully than that). Probably didn't help we get seats behind the opposing dugout specifically to be in better range for heckling.
I remember that former Red Sox SS Jackie Gutierrez would let hecklers get under his skin and affect his performance. And the Richmond Brave fans could not wait to see the Pawsox come into town.
Hey that's cool you played at Wake Forest. I just got Stuart Fairchild's autograph at a minor lg game last week. He played at Wake.
Groan....Hecklers? Ignore them. Who cares what someone in the crowd says? Why would anyone let that bother them?
lol wade got shelled last night
yea he got hurt
Damn! Thanks of watching!!
When Milton Bradley played for the Mariners quite a few years ago he always had cotton balls in his ears because the stadium would be pretty low in attendance, they gave him a really hard time :( he had anger issues too I felt really bad watching
Pitcher got a big butt. Pitchers got a big butt.
I’m an A1 heckler, but I try to shut up. Goldy locks isn’t that bad, be glad they didn’t scream “hey do you two pull each other’s hair?” To you and your buddy who also had some hair, it can get rough out there lol
Haha that's for sure!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Antonelli Baseball sure man, I’m really enjoying the vids about pro ball!
Humorous story Matt! lol your earnin the $$ now ;)
Haha trying!
Hey Matt, not sure if you had done a video on this, but I was wondering if you had ever been in a benches clear brawl and what happens after that ?
Lol...This is great ☺
Thanks!!
Did you ever have to make that long walk back to the dugout after striking out at Clemson?
In 1999, I went to the first game of a doubleheader at Shea Stadium where Robin Ventura was the only player in ML history to hit grand slams in both ends of the DH. In the first inning, an old Eric Young, Sr. came up and there were about 400 people in the whole park. I was in the upper deck, and it was the farthest upper deck in all of MLB. I screamed, "you should retire, you're too old!" Next thing I know, he cracks it over the fence. Shut me up.
Haha thanks for sharing!!!
Boise fans are pretty good aren't they? We love our baseball
Yup it was fun playing there!! Thanks so much for watching our videos and I appreciate you commenting!!
"The stans are right next to you."
-Matt "Matt Antonelli Here" Antonelli
Classic stuff! Lol
What is different about a college and major league fan atmosphere?
I was at a game up here in Edmonton, Canada ( I think they were A ball at the time) but the visiting teams uniforms were horrible. It sorta looked like they all bought their own pants because they didn't all look the same. Some heckler yelled out at one of them " hey 31. your grandpa called. He needs his pants back after the game". I felt sorry for him because there were a bunch of good looking girls sitting front row about 8 feet away from him lol.
Thanks for sharing!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love the videos Matt, keep em coming!
Thanks!!!
signing bonus was 1.575 mil right?
