u guys will never know how much u are appreciated for showing these old videos
He's called the Earthquake because he cracks everyone up.
The rubbing the hands on the Diamond cloth is what kills me
Awesome match ! More Keith please 😊
Seriously ... especially BANKS and 1P. He was so goddamned funny (and played great when his mixture was right) in the 1990s.
He's called the Kaiser because he gets all the rolls.
Great match! Its really nice to see such a contrast of styles.
Ether blew up game 1. The miss on the 8 was inexcusable. Even if he was 3 sheets to the wind. When I was 13 I first saw Keith play in person at The Maverick Club in Richmond, Ky in 1981 at the Clyde Childress Memorial. He smoked the winner's side and beat Earl hill hill in the finals. Next year he smoked the winner's side again and lost hill hill to Earl. Keith had a good look at 10-10 and got out of line and left Earl end rail to end rail and Earl jacked up, 2 stroked it like a world beater. Had whitey on a string. Those were great pool days. St. Louie Louie and Toby Sweet mauled the ring games all week. Toby won a boat load.
"whitey" , shut up.
Love TOBY SWEET....POSSIBLY SHOT FOR SHOT A THE BEST ROLL OUT GUY EVER . WAS ALWAYS IN ACTION / WINDOW WAS ALWAYS OPEN.
@@andrewmeneely9774 I heard he took off 2 huge scores in Detroit. There were a couple of inner city dealers that would bet a ton. Was told by a good source h
e won over a million dollars in 2 sessions.
You're funny man :D saying the miss was inexcusable...wtf. They are only people you know, love heroes like you lol
@@jaroslav-6027 I guess you want to go after DiLaberto too for saying it was a horrible stroke on the 8 too. Why can't you keyboard warriors simply pass by a comment you don't agree with. Just got to get in there and spout off if someone doesn't cater to your sensitive, small brain.
❤🙏❤ Thank you sincerely once again for another simply fabulous video from the past ❤🙏❤ ... ❤ I am always pulling for Keith and it literally hurts me when he misses the 9 ball or blows a easy out . My wife looks at me and says " What's wrong with you " ?? I say " Babe how much time do ya' got " ??? She says " Five seconds " - I say in that case " The Earthquake blew a easy out " - She says " Oh ... Who the 🤬 is Earthquake " ?? - I say " Catch me when you have thirty minutes Doll " ❤
Keith one of my favorite players to watch for me
Love Souquet's game. Always calm and smooth.
Fantastic Ralph
Thanks for sharing these great classic matches. Do you have Sigel vs Buddy Hall 89 Memphis Open ??
I do not see that one in our catalog. Sorry
I wish I could've seen Keith "in his prime". I wonder how good he really was and how his game at the time would compare to today's players. Thanks for the upload
probly like 760 fargo
Hard to say because the conditions are so different. The cloth is so fast and reactive it adapts the way people shoot. The tight pockets woudl hurt him but the fast cloth woud help given his touch and ability to spin.
At his best a guess is 800 plus . Top 10.
@@jgallagher1359 the way the break is and stuff he would get destroyed tactically by the top 10, its a nice idea but theres no way man, the pockets are tight wouldnt just "hurt" him, they would slap his ass, they're 4 inches wide lol
maybe he would win a tournament or two but he wouldnt be anywhere near as prominent as he was back then with 9 on the spot and bucket tables.
keep in mind they still used simonis back then its been around for like 500 years, the tables were pretty fast.
@@paxconsciente3352 Earl Strickland is a 777 now. At 61. Scott Frost is nearly 50 and a 760.
If the discussion is how would someone do being thrown into a Matchroom event straight from bar 80s condiitions…certianly an adjustment. But it's not like taking Judd Trump and putting him in a pool match. Just watch the video here. Keith has shots a lot of the top 10 only sort of has. No, he's not as accuate or as consistent of a ball maker but that was never his game. No matter what the pocket size he's still going to find ways to get out that other guys can't which was always his edge.
Dechaine is 800 playing part time, I believe. From a style/game point of view that's about the best comp.
@@jgallagher1359 I think it would be interesting to see the newer players play on the old equipment. I think they would make a lot of the same mistakes guys in Keith’s day made.
"It's like a nightmare, it just keeps gettin worse..."
what do you what do you mean
@@delorescundiff It's Keith's line from the movie The Color Of Money.. Great pool movie, Paul Newman and Tom Cruise
The Impossible Dream!
Man Billy’s cardigan sweater is awesome.
Danny sounded so different than his latest commentaries
These two are entertaining all by themselves
Keith’s hand smears on the felt is driving me nuts. I don’t know how Ralph let that go
Hand smears? Curious what you mean? What time does he do it at. I wanna see what you're talking about
I {DO] think it's illegal (whether it'll be called or not is another story) to try to alter the point of the side.
But it absolutely helps balls that are tight to the rail that have to sneak past the side get by the point.
Especially when it's the OB that's passing the side pocket. I'd never thought about doing it for the CB.
Keith looks like he just rolled out of bed after a GREAT night out on the town.
It's always fun to see Keith.
Is that a Joss cue Ralf is playing with?
Yes. About five years after this event Ralf was offered a deal by Predator and he was with them for 16 years. His contract with Predator ended in 2023, and he's now brandishing an Arthur cue. Joss cues are still made by father and son in Baltimore, MD.
❤😊
Good match whatever happened too Bill Incardona?
*wheres the score?* *WE NEED MORE MCCREADY VIDEOS. EXCELLENT PLAYER WE GET TO SEE VERY LITTLE OF. WAS EXCELLENT AT ONE POCKET, AWESOME BANKING*
Commentary is brutal
Kieth wiping his hands off on the table before the break was a little questionable.
I see I already missed the first match
This is about as opposite of the spectrum as two players can get.
Hahah that’s freaking hilarious dude , but so true , Keith’s game is exiting tho , you can tell if he had stayed truly sober and put the work in like a Ralph soquet he would’ve been awfully hard to beat , not only was he a world class shot maker but he could move the rock .
Double feather Edie and Pat
46:33
Keith should lay off the beer
McCready is a good banker
It's like a nightmare, isn't it?
Just keeps getting worse and worse, doesn't it?
Danny Diliberto is an awesome commentator. I have not seen him play. Billy Incardona is worthless as wet T.P as an announcer..... I did see him play and he did well..........
Billy Incardona is the definition of a jealous man
A champ and a drinker.
Bruce Buffer watch out! At'aboy Max.
The fastest player vs the slowest player
Watch the players of today. :-(
Keith playing with a McDermott.?
you spelled borrowed wrong.
Sardo put a lot of effort into their rack, but it never really worked.
You're right; I've used them and they were no more consistent than a cheap $10 plastic rack. Sounded like Danny DiLiberto was on the Sardo payroll during this commentary.
Hindi nakabawi si efren kay mcreedy
More Keith please.
I remember Willie Moskonie always played pool in a suite. I don't like to see them playing at this level wearing a t-shirt and flip-flops. I just don't like it.
Aside from butchering Willie's name, neither of the guys are wearing a T-shirt, a Polo is acceptable in the dress code, especially at the Derby. DCC is now what you would call a high-level respectable tournament LOL
McCready rules. It's very apparent that he's a full blown speed junkie tho, it's so extremely obvious.
his alcoholism is obvious.....not sure if he was into speed
@@jadezee6316 Just look at his tics. No alcoholic has tics like that. I'm a junkie and I would know.
Def meth ! 100 percent no doubt . The jerks n stuff is from stimulants .
Not to mention his teeth
I remember that sardo rack!!! Biggest piece of shat ever!!!
Most unorthodox player I have seen
He was able to get it done tho , not everything has to be textbook , some people have there own style which makes the game even better ! That’s a big problem with todays pool, everyone is like robots , the same strokes/stances . Svb has his own stroke thankfully .
@@teddyhaynes9876I played in a few tournaments in San Fran he was in early 90’s. Not only a crazy side arm but truely unbelievable how he jumps out of shots too. And yes us oldies styles completely different than now and we played less safetys.
Aa
There was no match here, there was only a Beating from Ralf. McCready Talks too much and Ralf taught him some Lessons for talking too much….
Pool has the worst commentary of any sport and that holds up in 2023
go listen to Earls...you will like it
keith has the worst fundamentals ive ever seen. no idea how he was a pro
Quite a few players can play will without using texbook fundamentals. But they are still making the balls and getting position, it's the outcome that matters not so much the process. You can get to the right result by using flawed processes, it's just easier to do it the "correct" way.
@@hang-the-93 yeah i understand that. I personally haven't seen one impressive video of Keith McCready. He looks like he'd be a 650 Fargo which is very bad for a pro
These two are the worst commentators ever! Two scratchy voiced old men arguing with each other. Reminds me of the two old balcony puppets on the muppet show.
First
