    I found this as I was looking for the final matchup they had in 07. I remember watching it live thinking this is historic and may never happen again. It did not.

    I’m sure they faced each other in spring training when bonds was with the Pirates and Clemens with the Red Sox.

      @@BaseballAF and i was the biggest Clemens fan that ever did exist (until all that crap came out about him). Clemens was having a very un Clemens like year in 2000 and then when he clocked PiazzA (def on purpose cuz Mike totally owned him and Roger had no answer to that point), Clemens year skyrocketed and he went on a run that lasted until he won the cy in 2001.

    this is a great example of how bonds ruled by fear in the 2000s. most guys didn’t even want to throw a pitch to him

    Bonds got the best of Clemens. The two third strikes were clearly balls. And Clemens was otherwise too scared of Bonds to pitch to him.

    • @BaseballAF
      @BaseballAF  2 роки тому +1

      All we have now are the results. Obviously if Clemens is getting a pitch that isn't a strike but is being called a strike, he'll take it.

    Sorry but I don't agree with your rendition of Clemens wins the battle if he hit Barry and he doesn't score.
    Idc if Bonds sores or not, he's on base. His OBP against Clemens at that point is 1,000. He didn't get him out. It's not a win by hitting him. That's crazy talk

    • @BaseballAF
      @BaseballAF  2 роки тому +1

      That's why it's subjective! I thought it was due to the entirety of the influence Bonds was able to have with his presence.

    • @Saintaholik
      @Saintaholik 2 роки тому +2

      @@BaseballAF Okay I see what your saying.
      My opinion is Bonds was successful 6-8 times against Clemens. I understand the concept of giving up 1 base instead of 4 but regardless that AB still put the Giants in a better position to score. They were so threatened by him that walking him was their best case scenario. He earned that win throughout his career.
      I get your point though

      @@BaseballAF Yea, it's obviously great if you can find the relevant games, but sometimes they are hard to find or bad quality. Even just showing them practice so you have some sort of visual. Like for this vid, you could have shown bonds hitting BP or some of his best homeruns, and for clemens, some bullpen or good strikeouts. I look forward to future vids!
