Barry Bonds was the worst coach ever right. But 7 out nine players were batting 300 . 5 finished the year batting 300. They led the league in Team Batting Average. You fire him. This is why the Marlins ain't SHIT!!!!
Jamaal Horton ikr wtf is he talking about
@@bobbymarsh1 this guy sickens me.
Thats true i know ozuna had a very good yr with barry he was even using bonds bat
@@aranicaceres6173 whole truth! The only one who struggled was Stanton because he was not listening the other was a pitcher!
Arani Caceres Yup. Stanton and Ozuna switched over to Sam bat after working with him for a year. This guy is full of shit about him being a crappy hitting coach
Pretty confident on bashing people when his teams been trash for a while....
He got a ring though
I don't pay much attn. to sports so have no idea who this clown is, but he had me in stiches! Love blabber-mouthes who can't keep anything to themselves! lol! ;-)
I remember seeing this guy on "Real Sports with Brian Gumble" talking about tax payers should pay for the new Marlins stadium even though he refused to open his books. Complete snake.
yes...I remember. The guy looks like a carpet bagger.
🇮🇱
Good interview but this guy sounds like a lil weasel
Kalihaze76 5th&Lemon that why jeter fired him
Yeah the one who's always harassing Foghorn Leghorn! I say boy,go away you bother me!👀
Montreal Expos fan here confirming your beliefs
I agree he is a weasel. He'll never work in the MlB again after that.
Electric Eye Slide Nazi shut the fuck up
ran your team into the ground. this guy is a clown.
Dro De Gennaro Music wtf are you talking about. The marlins would have been great they just had really bad luck
Hey Jeffrey loria is to blame not no one else
Did whatever loria told him to do
Jeter dismantled this team lol.
Loria is to blame not Samson. Every time Samson tried to get players, Loria wouldnt fork over the money. Samson said that owner liked his own players meant that owner didnt want to do a deal with Loria. Was hated league wide.
Smug guy who doesn't accept any culpability for running a horrid franchise.
Fairly obviously you dont listen to the show, he takes full responsibility for everything that ever happened with the team and always has. Only times he deflects is if it legitimately isnt his fault, like the owner telling him to go sign a guy or hes fired which happened a couple times.
That’s a fair criticism unless you’ve never heard the man talk before this eight-minute clip you watched...
@@j27steiner the Marlins are notorious for not paying their players or anything good as MYami seems to hate baseball even with the new ballpark that I remembered that whole debate over funding in the late 90s and how toxic that was over the pro player stadium debate wanting to destroy that old stadium for 2 new ballparks one baseball and the other for the dolphins as I watched live satillite feed during commercial breaks as they looked at the 'products' in the fan seats. My dad and I laughed saying FLA all da way as it's MYami.
John-Paul Hunt it’s sooo much harder for a small market team to compete. Rather than teams like the Yankees, Dodgers, and Red Sox who can doll out the money.
@@arthasmenethil4297 yet the Marlins won 2 times as did the diamondbacks. Money makes people lazy like MLB teams fat and not winning. For me personally I say play the players always. However the dodgers are a failure as they spent all that money and have no world series victory to show for it unlike the Astros and Nationals.
Really? Because Christian Yelich said Barry Bonds is the reason he became such a good hitter. I trust an MVP's opinion of Barry more than I trust this snake.
I know the squealers when I see them and... "points at this dude". - The Joker
dxsuperstarl What do you propose
Wrong part in quotes lol I'm a douche
I appreciate a good squealer
😂😂😂😂
@@celticjay2306 how about a magic trick?
His story about bonds reminds me a story of Kenny Smith told about Bill Russell as a coach. Basically Bill Russell was frustrated that his big man could not rebound the ball. When the centre and pf asked for tips about how to rebound better, Russell was confused and just told them to just go up and get the ball. Rebounding came so easily to Bill Russell that he could not comprehend lesser athletes would struggle. he couldn’t relate to lesser athletes and he didn’t know any tricks for performing a task he found so simple
The great thing i guess with Russell is that he was abke to adjust and became a great coach,.
zenmar84
Bill Russell as a player coach was successful because he was just such an amazing player. His coaching record not counting the years he was also playing is not impressive at all
Sometimes people who are great at a task are horrible at teaching how to perform the task because it just comes so natural to them. I’m good at math I try to teach some of my nephews math and it was just such a struggle because they had holes in their knowledge base that I could not believe a high school student would have. I can’t imagine how a supreme talent like Barry bonds would be able to relate to the struggles of the average hitter.
bill russell was also playing against coal miners and lumberjacks.
I believe it, it's actually very common in all sports, super star players typically make bad coaches. That's why I feel that catchers make the best coaches, it's a position that makes you see the game from all perspectives.
@@sthao1733 them was some tall coal miners, how they fit in the tunnels?
I recall Ichiro saying that Barry Bonds was a great batting coach. I guess you have to be at that level to feel that way.
Barry probably told Ichiro to start his swing when he saw the third stitch come around the six hundredth time. Ichiro probably asked if 599 or 601 would be okay, and Barry told him yeah but it would only be a hit not a homer. Everyone else in the room was lost.
Good that Jeter fired him.
I wouldn't have him run my baseball team but I bet he'd be a great divorce lawyer.
No wonder the marlins were always a disaster
Christian Yelich and all his home runs would disagree, recently crediting Bonds with his power improvement.
Liar
Marlins finished 4th in avg in the majors under Barry Bonds
That was largely due to having Yelich, Realmuto, and Gordon in the lineup every day.
Wilson Martin nah Bonds did a great job
@@ThePaperSun And Yelich says that Bonds made him a better hitter.
Go look at that line up
Yelich credits his whole power numbers to bonds look it ip
This is one of the best interviews ever
This guy is a prime example of how people can get high positions and good careers only because they are good at leveraging themselves through talking
or his step-dad owns the baseball team in this case
He got his job simply through good old fashion nepotism, the owner was Samson's stepfather.
@Lordeverfall100 only Jews speak like that. Quick
Yeah and then immediately self implode when he had some power. The dude is a miserable human being and has literally not a single person who likes him. He’s pathetic.
Ricky Nolasco eating Pizza at 3Am then running away is such a funny thing to imagine
anyone else realize that JF would still be alive if the Corbin trade went through
He's a dick but that Nolasco story is legendary, gold. Ricky Nolasco is a lot like all of us
Funny how this guy got knocked out in the first round of Survivor: Cagayan
Telephone Tough Guy, 100%. He wouldn't be saying these things if they were in the room.
And I just saw a Yelich interview where he thanked bonds for helping him with his mechanics before his MVP season.
Lol wonder why
My favorite kind of interview. Gossip, gossip, and more gossip.
This is one of my most favorite sports interviews ever
this guy is shady af
Wow. So knowledgeable! You were so right on about Manfred!
PS: Why were you “hammered” at 3:30 am at the pizza shop
I love this I would love to hear more stuff like this
Solomon Boston to many people are scared to say shit anymore
that whole interview was pure gold.....loved every second
This man went IN on truth. He just layed it all out no f given. You don't get to see/hear stuff like this out of sports. This was great.
This guy is who Stugotz aspires to be
Facts
This guy got his job due to nepotism
@@Kalel93739 burn
Nick Allison Kelso
Stop being so anti-semetic.
David Samson thinks Barry Bonds is the worst hitting coach, meanwhile, Christian Yelich, who almost batted .400 last season, almost won the MVP if it wasn't for injury, thanked Barry Bond for teaching him how to hit while in Florida.
Also the same team that traded away and could have had Yelich, Stanton, and Ozana in the same outfield
This is all coming from a Dodger fan.
Only in sports, you can mess up big time and get a job as an analysts for a network because you can talk in front of a Camera.
Arod didnt sign with the marlins because he didnt want to. The Marlins were the ones chasing him
Bonds is misunderstood. The media portrays him as a monster.
This guy reminds me of a Dana White with hair lol seriously
Damn, this was nice listening to.
6:24 Actually the worst commissioner baseball has ever seen.
I want more of this
That Rob Manfred comment (6:15) aged like milk
I looked up the Marlins stats in 2015 and 2016 (Barry was hitting coach in 2016). I think the main problem was the lack of improvement in RBI. The Marlins could just not get runners across home plate in either year. That said, they improved across the board. So I'm not sure what Samson was expecting. Perhaps an improvement in RBI from 29th to 20th would have saved Barry's job?
2015
hits 9th
ave 10
rbi 29
2016
hits 5th
ave 3rd
rbi 28th
Yelich credited Bonds for his growth as a hitter... I think Bonds is a great baseball mind but only handful can understand what he is saying and if you gets it, win MVP like Yelich.
This was really interesting. 👍
Give credit for Dan Le Batard for this interview, many people in Miami (including Dan himself) hates David Samson and Jeffrey Loria because of them screwing the franchise over, which results in fans not attending to games. Hopefully the Marlins will be better with Jeter running things, but, it'll takes time and patience sadly.
Brandon S dan does not hate David Samson lol they’re good friends
Samson is on the show literally weekly though this is the first time in studio, they're good friends
I was a passionate baseball fan and a Marlins fan. Loria and his dwarf ruined that for me. I haven't watched more than and hour of baseball after 2013. Fuck those guys. They are scum.
This didn’t age well lol
Fake scumbags on here calling him a snake? 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 how? This is most honest interview I’ve ever heard. I wished I heard more content like this. Guess y’all rather hear fake nonsense and fake news. Shout out to this guy he Played it raw.💯💯💯💯💯
He’s completely full of crap with almost everything he says.
I'm so glad Dan is off the air. He STINKS
Agreed
Did A-Rod dirty w the thumbnail smh
How to submarine your career 101, lol
“Best commissioner of all time” Boy that aged well
hahaha seriously, hes def the most hated. i mean all Commisioners get boo'd, like Goodell at the draft its become a tradition.
but a coue years ago when Dodgers won the Chip and Manfred had to go on the field and present the trophy he was clearly drunk bc i think he was bracing for the fact he was gna get boo'd to oblivion and his speech was so awkward on tv lol
love it
one of the most underrated sports videos on youtube
So conflicted cuz you love the insight and access but man seems like u would never want to spend too much time with this guy
Its tough being a Marlins fan.....GEEZ.....🙄....I'm not crazy about the new logo....love the last one....lol
This guy looks and sounds like Fred Savage’s older brother.
Maybe if he wasn’t out getting pizza at 3 AM all boogered up, he’d still have a job. It’s hard to soar with the eagles when you hoot with the owls.
Samson insinuates that the Dodgers were complicit with keeping Eric Gagne b/c they knew he would be good b/c he was beginning steroids...... HELLO!!?
Dave Samson legend
Yelich gave a ton of credit to Bonds on Sequence. A strong argument can be made that he would’ve never won MVP later without him. The drill he had him do to reset his swing blew my mind. However, Hank Aaron is still the home run king.
damn do you think he ever thinks about making that trade and avoiding Jose's death?
the fact that he said the stadium is an issue is karma for tearing down the beloved orange bowl lol
Homeboy was hilariously honest 😂😂😂
The Ricky Nolasco story was hilarious!
Hey pal, almost was never good enough. Almost landing blockbuster trades, signing stars, etc. You could go on and say the Marlins almost won the WS every year since getting into the league but things fell through, unfortunately. It sucks to know that characters like this guy run the show behind the scenes.
Probably the best interview I seen yet. Joe Rohan can learn from this
Who was the pitcher In 2008 referred to? Samson didn’t get a chance to answer before Dan interrupted
I like an honest guy....
That Rob Manfred take didn't age well, lol Worst commissioner ever.
Christian Yelich has stated clearly that Bonds was a HUGE reason for his becoming a superstar hitter
Well, that’s exactly what the guy is saying. Bonds has superstar talent, so does Yelich. Bonds helped unlock the latter’s potential. But he (probably) wasn’t great at instructing average hitters.
@@johnfleming4886 5 of the 9 starters finished the season batting over .300.
Brutal honesty. So refreshing!
Brutally honest except about how he was a garbage piece of shit.
Huh? The dude lies about everything he says. He’s a terrible person who cares about no one besides himself.
Y’all are hype Jeter is running the show in Miami but forgot that he’s just as selfish as Alex Rodriguez? Typical. Dont forget there’s a reason A-Rod was stufk at 3B despite being 2x better than Jeter at SS defensively AND offensively before and after steroid use. Both are pricks but its shameful that one gets way more hate than the other.
Imagine playing for this dude
All these GMs are like this.
Snake in the grass
Why is Roy wearing a heavy leather jacket in Miami?
5:50 no doubt that pizza place was Ian’s pizza! GUARANTEE IT! Only pizza place you walk into at 3 AM while drunk
This dude is a bum. Way to ruin an organization.
Love Samson man, very honest and straight forward, most of the hate he gets is from Marlins fans, which hey I get it, and others just don’t get it
L’Chaim
Information on Nolasco would be great for betting. Wonder which start it was the time he played Milwaukee
As a cuban American I have no problem with what Ozzie Guillen said,people need to grow up.
> the City of Miami told the Marlins they had to change from Florida Marlins to Miami Marlins it was part of a deal in order for Miami to pay the funds as well as build a stadium for the Marlins to play in this new park was built on top of the old site for the Orange Bowl
Why is the location a problem? If you have a great product, people will come
This is funny a scrub talking about a legend
Had a good laugh. Great guy
who wouldn't remember eric gagne
“I think the dodgers knew he was about to go on steroids” woah smart to casually skip over that bombshell accusation
The only thing I learned of value is that the stadium was built in a bad location. That it's not convenient for Northern Miami and Fort Lauderdale. That's a lot of people. It's the same reason why the Braves moved out of Turner Field.
This guy reminds me of Randall from recess 😂
August 25th, 2006 - Ricky Nolasco: 2 innings, 7 hits, 5 Earned Runs, 2 walks.
People shit on this show but Le Batard gets good guests.
Great radio when David is on.
I can hear this guy talk about baseball all day
This guy is a joke.
Calling Brandon Drury a block buster trade or Corbin?
Block buster for whoever got Jose, maybe.
A-rod “the worst person for a team”? He hit 30+ home runs the year before, and was off to a good start in his final season before he was injured and missed time.
Glad Jeter let his ass go
This guy gets the show
What date was this interview?
Ye Barry Bonds totally didn’t make Christian Yelich an MVP caliber player
Two MVP players directly traced to Barry Bonds. Nuff said.
This explains so much about the Marlins
They hired Barry correct? He was in on the hiring of personnel. President trumps the GM and Manager, whatever Samson. You should know that about Double B.
Manny Ramirez on the Marlins wouldve been crazy lol especially if they had kept Miguel Cabrera
What about David Stern on Rome as worst commish interview?
I wanted this to be at least 30 mins, lol
Joe Torre was rare in that he was a great player and great manager
