I played ball for my father, a USN vet from WW2. He was a Seabee stationed in the Philippines. Tough as nails. What that man could do with a fungo bat always amazed me and my teammates. Miss ya Pop's. I'll never forget all you taught me. I'm teaching my two boys now.
Rest in Peace Seabee. Sorry for your loss sir. I was a seabee as well. Alot of people have never even heard of seabees Just know that what the seabees, and your father, did during WWII was amazing
I actually just ran into a flat-earther the other day. I was picking my son up from school and I noticed that he was playing with a kid and the kid's mom was there, so we let them play and got to talking. Our conversation didn't last for too long though. It quickly escalated into an argument, and it ended with her grabbing her son and storming off to her car, while my son and I looked on in confusion. Turns out she's an anti-vaccer, and we got to arguing over that. She called me a gullible sheep that would believe in anything that the government and scientists claims to be true. Then she literally said "I bet you're one of those lemming round-earthers too"! A grown-up, college educated, employeed, mother actually said that to me. She rolled her eyes, shook her head, and responded sarcastically and rudely to me whenever I brought up actual facts that prove the earth to be spherical, and vaccinations to be healthy. She ended the conversation by loudly screaming at me to "WAKE UP"!! I honestly thought that these people were just trolling on the internet, but I just learned the hard way that they do indeed exist. They actually believe that the sun and moon are under a large dome that covers the disc-shaped earth. I imagine it looks like a giant snow-globe from God's point of view. (And now I'm wondering if flat-earthers are predominantly religious, or if they're atheists?) Her explanation of gravity was her funniest argument, and it's what ended our conversation. According to her, gravity is apparently the result of a constant force of "universal acceleration" that forever accelerates the snow-globe, flat-earth upwards at a constant rate of acceleration. That's why we feel a downward force acting on us at all times, and we mistake it for gravity as a result. When I asked what caused this "universal acceleration force", and why the snow-globe, flat-earth hasn't accelerated faster than the speed of light yet, she stormed off. I guess my laughing didn't help. I only wish that I had it on camera. It would have been funny to have that interaction recorded. Plus then I'd have her obnoxious, "WAKE UP", scream recorded. I could use it as my son's alarm tone, as he has trouble waking up in the mornings. EDIT: This exchange happened before the coof and when I said this woman was against vaccination I meant it in the Jenny McCarthy sense. She believed that vaccinating your children against things like the measles would somehow turn them autistic. This had nothing to do with the 'rona as it wasn't even a thing at the time.
I remember playing catch with my dad. When he was farming back when he was 21 he lost the tips of his pointer finger and middle finger on his riht hand, fortunately he was wearing gloves and the Dr. at the hospital was able to sew them back on but they were permanently bent forward. When he would throw the ball to me that ball would dance and jig around like crazy…it was amazing. He would just smile…great times. Thank You Dad…Miss You. Your Number One.
I am Irish, have watched hundreds of baseball games since childhood (and it’s not even my favourite sport). I think watching Vin Scully’s recent message prompted this to show up.
His first curveball was the most accurate Hollywood depiction of a true yakker that I've ever seen. No crazy unrealistic sideways movement to thrill the audience, just a good hard mostly-downward break from a realistic angle.
@@shinigamigaming2941 "A curveball, thrown with topspin, creates a higher pressure zone on top of the ball, which deflects the ball downward in flight. Instead of counteracting gravity, the curveball adds additional downward force, thereby giving the ball an exaggerated drop in flight." Maybe play less video games and play some real sports?
This is a great scene in so many ways. A lot of people have commented that this movie was made by people who well and truly love baseball. I'm inclined to agree. But there is so much more to this scene besides a quick tryout. The batter has been nothing but a show off throughout the movie, claiming he's God's gift to baseball. Meanwhile, Rigo is soft spoken and extremely modest. He plays because he loves it and honestly never thought about becoming a pro player. Honestly, that is what makes a great player. They don't care about money, fame, or endorsements. They care about playing the game and having fun. I love the fact that Rigo is the one to expose his weakness and (not literally) knock him on his ass. After being teased or bullied, it's very satisfying to see this kind of payback.
I think being like Rigo is would make you a good person, but it doesn't really affect how good or bad you are. For example, Barry Bonds had an absolutely massive ego and could be a real jerk about it too. In an interview during his playing days a reporter brought up how arrogant people thought he was and Bonds said, "I'm not arrogant, I'm good!" He was a lot of fun to watch, but man was he a grade A prick.

I'm a movie fan and I've loved baseball since age 5. The wonderful thing about this movie...it was created by people who obviously know and love the game. It may sound corny to some, but baseball is often a metaphor for life...and this film nails it! Thanks baseball, and thanks Clint.
Absolutely wrong Jockney. The world will mean a whole lot less after the rapture. Mass confusion, mass hysteria, mass riots.... we all need Righteous Invasion Of Truth.
Such an underrated movie. It’s gives a different perspective as compared to “Moneyball”, another great movie. I wholeheartedly believe there is a balance between stats and good scouts. Having a coach compare you to Sandy Koufax is a tremendous observation and compliment. If you don’t know who Koufax was, look him up. Steve Carlton and Randy Johnson are two other greats by all accounts.
Tiberius X Scooby pissed off skynet because he peed on a terminator while he was with shaggy, accidentally joined the t1000 on the trip to go back to the Stone Age to kill the Fred Flintstone since he turns out to be the ancestor to John Conner, but glitches out when Fred threw a rock at him, and was transported to this time period with no memories just lying on a baseball field and thinking they’re players. It’s all in the wiki
Agreed - and he was late, every time. Dead pull and golf swinging. His mouth couldn’t back it up. Rigoberto’s attitude is the CORRECT one for an big league pitcher. No stress. No worries. Trusts his stuff. Confident. The look on his face said - I belong here. BTW - Amy Adams is so hot.
My great uncle pitched for the Newark Bears back in the 1940's. He said he'd ride his bike to the stadium. He'd sometimes pitch a double header and win both games. His pitch was a fork ball. I remember the space between his index and middle finger was like the space between the index and ring on most people. He wanted to go pro, but got injured in WWII. He was a nice man, gave me pointers on pitching when I was in high school.
pretty sure he got the warm out away from camera before even shooting the scene. It would be too obvious if he was doing a warm-up and let them know he was going to pitch? don't you think?
iatsd I mean yeah. Superman just takes off without stretching first? What if he pulled a hammy or something? He wouldn’t feel very super then. So fake.
I watch this clip at least once a week. Nothing better than someone with an overinflated ego get put in their place. Inspiring if someone has abilities and given the chance they will succeed.
In fact this has happened countless times in America, David and Goliat, you know.....arrogance and all that...... and right now with a little virus too....
I can tell you from experience, it isn't that easy. I pitched a tournament where the team just absolutely crushed our fastest pitcher the first game. Score was 18-1 and we were mercy ruled out in the 4th inning. The second time we played that team...I pitched and threw literally nothing but curve balls. We still lost, but the score was a much more manageable 2-1. It was in that game I realized that I had actual potential to become a decent pitcher, and ended up getting an award at the end of the tournament for that game. You have to know how to hit a curve, and when it comes to professionals...they can move the ball in some magnificent ways which make it all but impossible to hit consistently. Have you ever tried to hit a curve ball from a really good pitcher?
@Kunth well...since it was the final in a tournament...I would say they were not playing anything but their best. Who goes into a tournament final thinking anything but put your best out there?
Charlie Odom if this guy it’s supposedly the braves #1 prospect, if he knows for sure it’ll be a fastball the ball should be at the very least into the outfield
@@theamphibiousbean5285 yes he should! He should also be able to at least hit a curve ball when he knows it is coming. I'm not saying crush it, just make ANY contact at all! Foul ball, dribbler to the 3rd baseman, anything. The point of the movie is made well, and is compounded by the fact that she brings in a good no name pitcher, but this guy was really made a fool of in this scenario. Having done the same thing to batters in a tournament, I can honestly say I know how the poor cocky guy feels. I felt like the best pitcher in the world that day, and had an entire tournament of people watching batter after batter strike out. I was well known for my curve ball and since I didn't have a fast arm, relied on it and accuracy heavily. The team we lost to in that final went on to win multiple multistate tournaments that year, and had my parents had the money, I would have been playing with them. Hell, I went to school with almost all of them and grew up competing with them on a regular basis.
No ma;am, it's just a billion dollar franchise in a billion dollar stadium with billions in sponsor revenue riding on whether I am a good pitcher or not
@@DocJoeStan No, he was not in the scene, and for the sake of a healthier UA-cam, stop replying to relevant, constructive comments with lame, half-baked bullcrap. You make us all look bad.
@@JustCallMeLoathesome Maddux quote "No need to steal the sign. I'll tell you what I throw. It's an 89 MPH sinker, and you won't even swing at it." Relevant? Where was this seen filmed? And who pitched from that mound?
When you do know something about baseball that curve doesn’t look like much of a curve, from the way he threw it to the way it traveled...it was a little off speed and maybe did break a little but hard to tell from the angle. If they were trying to illustrate him having a wicked curve, they failed miserably. There are little league pitchers these days who could run that fake baseball player holding a bat out of the box and end up catching the inside corner. That’s what they should have shown,
Wtf are you talking about? When they showed in SLOW MOTION, not full speed like you would see in person, it started at his chest and dropped 2-3 inches below the zone. “I know the curve” move around bro. Fastballs also have break, they don’t just travel in straight lines most of the time they start and end when their thrown most likely going to end up anywhere within a circle well thrown nonetheless. Stfu
I don't follow baseball and have never seen this movie the entire way through but I always have to stop and watch this clip whenever it comes on. Love it!
Damn.. I missed my dad! He’s a lefty pitcher in his hey days and can throw that curve and slider like it’s nothing! Even in softball he’s unbelievable.. I wish I stick to baseball when I was a kid and he’s training me to be like him but I don’t have the balls to catch those curve ball everyday we’re training.. Rest in Peace Dad!
I played 12 inch softball as a lefty first baseman and had a lefty third basemen who could throw a 90 mile an hour fast ball at 14 years old. Twice I caught her fast ball barehanded in 1 game to tag out a runner. Couldn't write or use my hand for a week. She went on to play professional fast pitch and play for team usa twice. Still throwing 90 mile an hour.
to start with, it’s normally “an” before a word that starts with a consonant. i’ve seen pitchers like this, they exist and not everyone needs to warm up. There are people that pitch better cold and get more erratic as they warm up but unfortunately usually burn out faster. They don’t usually make it to the pro level.
ok, for all you hollywood technical experts out there... i'm sure there has to be an "official" term for the technique at 2:55 of shifting to slo-mo for dramatic effect, then back to real speed when the emphasized action is over (3:10 or thereabouts). can someone help me out? thanks.
"Start with the fastball!" "Show 'im the curve!" Even lets the kid know what's coming, and he can't do a thing about it. Feeling a big dollar deal go down the toilet because of the "peanut boy". Well done, if a bit predictable.
My man this comment is pure fucking gold. I have legit never come across a comment that hits the nail on the head so fucking accurately and is also down right fucking hilarious. My day is couldn't be any better now.
Love how he's like, he knows the curveballs coming and can't hit it... Cough cough... If you know the fastball is coming and can't make any contact... your in trouble.

I’m not a baseball fan in any way, shape or form. But I loved this movie. Very well done story about an estranged father trying to mend a relationship with his daughter, set against the backdrop of baseball. Superb work by everyone involved with this one. Great movie.
"Your going to waste my time? With him?" Nah, a renown homerunning batter wouldn't EVER turn away a chance for a an easy pitch, even if perceived as such.
Say "this pitcher is a bit wild" and it would be a different story though. 80mph in the strike zone is fine, 60mph at your head isn't where you want to be.
I like this one for nostalgia because much of it was filmed at Luther Williams Field in Macon where, as a youngster in early 1950s, I watched the Macon Peaches play ball. A few years ago I went and photographed my nephew playing there in a high school playoff game. For me, that field is still a special place.
I watched John Smoltz pitch there while he was undergoing rehab from surgery with the Macon Braves. Last time I ever went to a game there. And that was over two decades ago.
Dave my boy I’m only 13 and my swing is like 5x better than that. He uses only his arms and when they show him “hitting” home runs they don’t actually show the ball being hit, they just throw the ball into the bleachers to seem like a home run.

I'm a movie fan and I've loved baseball since age 5. The wonderful thing about this movie...it was
created by people who obviously know and love the game. It may sound corny to some, but baseball
is often a metaphor for life...and this film nails it! Thanks baseball, and thanks Clint.
Scott Lunsford what's the name of the movie ??
Trouble with the curve.
Name plz
Name of the movie…?
Yes it is.
I admit I cried at the end of Field of Dreams.
Many of us tossed the ball around with a dad who is now in heaven.
This is a great movie Clint Eastwood never disappoints.
FORGET ABOUT THE CURVEBALL RICKY. GIVE HIM THE HEATERRRRR...
😂😂😂
Wrong movie dumbass
Marc Knight lol.....rite on......THEY GOT ANY CHILI DOGS....lol

"You alright?"
"Yes Ma'm, I was just stuck in the options menu, trying to change the sliders."
"Nervous?"
"No Ma'm, I put them all the way up."
The world will mean a little less when we lose Mr Eastwood. Somehow the word “legend” seems a little inadequate.
THE BEST EVER CLINT
@Jon Hawkins The Sandlot reference! Nicely done
What really matters, is where he spends eternity ...
Absolutely wrong Jockney.
The world will mean a whole lot less after the rapture. Mass confusion, mass hysteria, mass riots.... we all need Righteous Invasion Of Truth.
George Ross keep your indoctrinated, unsubstantiated nonsense to yourself please.
Such an underrated movie. It’s gives a different perspective as compared to “Moneyball”, another great movie. I wholeheartedly believe there is a balance between stats and good scouts. Having a coach compare you to Sandy Koufax is a tremendous observation and compliment. If you don’t know who Koufax was, look him up. Steve Carlton and Randy Johnson are two other greats by all accounts.
"this is gonna be ugly"
he wasnt wrong
I was waiting for Clint Eastwood to say "Yea this is ugly....for you!"
Hitter never gave a full swing. He was trying to miss the ball for the movie. He made it look like he was chopping at the ball.
Yeah he just saw The Good The bad and The ugly
We he got struck out from those 3 fastballs right over the plate, he shoulda just put his bat down
@@Beezlie727 that's how the movie was written, what was he supposed to do, hit it? I love it when people come on UA-cam and become experts.
Clint says 'just hold your ass right there', the whole world stops.
I love endings like this. Never underestimate anyone. A NATURAL a future goat
One of my favorite movies. That pure sound never lies… no matter the subject.
It’s so nice to be back at Turner Field. I never realized how much I miss it.
Doug Alexander yeah so much history 👎🏻
were you the groundskeeper or the peanut guy?
So much better than that concrete mall with a baseball stadium crammed inside of it that the Braves use now.
Yeah, No Joke!! I loved Turner Field. I went once to Suntrust and never plan to go back!!

What's shaggy, t1000 and Fred Flintstone doing there...?
Tiberius X
Scooby pissed off skynet because he peed on a terminator while he was with shaggy, accidentally joined the t1000 on the trip to go back to the Stone Age to kill the Fred Flintstone since he turns out to be the ancestor to John Conner, but glitches out when Fred threw a rock at him, and was transported to this time period with no memories just lying on a baseball field and thinking they’re players.
It’s all in the wiki
I know I know
There's Babe Ruth and the Man with No Name too!
Don’t forget Dirty Harry
t1000 would still kick you ass...you see that stare?
He said it was gonna be ugly. The only thing ugly there was his swing.
Everything about this was so bad 😂
No follow through swing every time he whiffed.
somewhere, that nerdy high school teammate of Gentry is laughing, hahaha
Agreed - and he was late, every time. Dead pull and golf swinging. His mouth couldn’t back it up. Rigoberto’s attitude is the CORRECT one for an big league pitcher. No stress. No worries. Trusts his stuff. Confident. The look on his face said - I belong here.
BTW - Amy Adams is so hot.
My great uncle pitched for the Newark Bears back in the 1940's. He said he'd ride his bike to the stadium. He'd sometimes pitch a double header and win both games. His pitch was a fork ball. I remember the space between his index and middle finger was like the space between the index and ring on most people. He wanted to go pro, but got injured in WWII. He was a nice man, gave me pointers on pitching when I was in high school.
Legends say he's still trying to hit that ball
😂😂😂😂
The legend was proven true 🤣
He knows it’s coming and he still can’t hit it
Scout #1: "Damn counter trey."
Scout #2: "But this is baseball."
Scout #1: "Same thing."
Corny ass scene = most viewed baseball clip of all time.
Peanut Boy had game, they would all learn that on the whim of an aging recruiting agents daughters perception of a “sound” she heard while hung over.
"Start with the fast ball....
No warm-up pitches. Just start firing heaters. Destroy your shoulder for all these nice people. That's it, good job!"
pretty sure he got the warm out away from camera before even shooting the scene. It would be too obvious if he was doing a warm-up and let them know he was going to pitch? don't you think?
It's a movie, not a documentary or training film. Do you complain about all the flying and magic stuff during super hero movies too?
iatsd I mean yeah. Superman just takes off without stretching first? What if he pulled a hammy or something? He wouldn’t feel very super then. So fake.
@Dane Mallon *you're
Always with the negative waves, Moriarty. It's just a movie.
I watch this clip at least once a week. Nothing better than someone with an overinflated ego get put in their place. Inspiring if someone has abilities and given the chance they will succeed.
yes sadly this is far from truth as anyone who can bat can hit a fast ball knowing its coming, unless the pitcher is throwing at 100+.
Susan Boyle to Simon Cowell for me... what a shocker that was - and all the smug judges having to eat their egos.
That's why I watch it too.the office scene is great too.
Same reason I watch Nikola Jokic in real life.
Get the last line in - he can’t hit it even when he know’s what’s coming - or something LI Luu e it. Classic!
Who woulda thought the cocky arrogant jocks would be shown up by the quiet immigrant kid? That’s what I like about Hollywood. So unpredictable.

@@antoniomontana5778 So, what are you saying?
In fact this has happened countless times in America, David and Goliat, you know.....arrogance and all that......
and right now with a little virus too....
This guy knows what's coming and still can't get a hit in five pitches?
He has no business playing pro ball.
I can tell you from experience, it isn't that easy.
I pitched a tournament where the team just absolutely crushed our fastest pitcher the first game. Score was 18-1 and we were mercy ruled out in the 4th inning.
The second time we played that team...I pitched and threw literally nothing but curve balls. We still lost, but the score was a much more manageable 2-1.
It was in that game I realized that I had actual potential to become a decent pitcher, and ended up getting an award at the end of the tournament for that game.
You have to know how to hit a curve, and when it comes to professionals...they can move the ball in some magnificent ways which make it all but impossible to hit consistently. Have you ever tried to hit a curve ball from a really good pitcher?
@Kunth well...since it was the final in a tournament...I would say they were not playing anything but their best. Who goes into a tournament final thinking anything but put your best out there?
Charlie Odom if this guy it’s supposedly the braves #1 prospect, if he knows for sure it’ll be a fastball the ball should be at the very least into the outfield
@@theamphibiousbean5285 yes he should! He should also be able to at least hit a curve ball when he knows it is coming. I'm not saying crush it, just make ANY contact at all! Foul ball, dribbler to the 3rd baseman, anything.
The point of the movie is made well, and is compounded by the fact that she brings in a good no name pitcher, but this guy was really made a fool of in this scenario.
Having done the same thing to batters in a tournament, I can honestly say I know how the poor cocky guy feels. I felt like the best pitcher in the world that day, and had an entire tournament of people watching batter after batter strike out. I was well known for my curve ball and since I didn't have a fast arm, relied on it and accuracy heavily. The team we lost to in that final went on to win multiple multistate tournaments that year, and had my parents had the money, I would have been playing with them. Hell, I went to school with almost all of them and grew up competing with them on a regular basis.
Everyone knew that Mo Rivera was gonna throw a cutter and still couldn't hit it
I love this movie!! My favorite team World Championship Atlanta braves and my favorite scene in this movie "Trouble with the curve"
Shaggy is all "I would play for the entire team, but it is unfair for mortals to even play with a God."
I actually like the next 15 seconds right after this. "he even knows what's coming and he still can't hit it".
Jeeeeeesus Christ !!!!!!

Thank you.
The expression and reaction on Gus' face when Gentry exclaimed "Peanut Boy" is priceless.
The movie is titled "Trouble with the curve" I've rented it twice and will watch again.

Good representation of Braves batting
What team do you support so I can make fun of them? Let me guess the Astros.
Sad but true. Been a Braves fan most of my life. Miss the players like David Justice and Greg Maddox back in the day.
Ikr, and that is coming from a braves fan.

Not included in this video, but one of the best lines from the GM: "He knows it's coming and he still can't hit it."

You cut out one of the best lines by Robert Patrick: "He knows what's coming and still can't hit it".
Damn. I wonder if the sense of Irony escaped from anyone there, during the filming of this scene....
actually Mr 1000 says that
@ryan norris Nowadays, possibly. For some , those Woke lines are kind of blurry....
“Show em’ the curve”
Pulls pants down
The Houston Astros knew what was coming in 2017... but not in 2020 :P
When you know nothing about baseball and the fastball looks just like the curve.
That would be pitiful!
So just like when you know nothing about boxing and a jab looks just like a cross?
When you do know something about baseball that curve doesn’t look like much of a curve, from the way he threw it to the way it traveled...it was a little off speed and maybe did break a little but hard to tell from the angle. If they were trying to illustrate him having a wicked curve, they failed miserably. There are little league pitchers these days who could run that fake baseball player holding a bat out of the box and end up catching the inside corner. That’s what they should have shown,
Fastball?
Wtf are you talking about? When they showed in SLOW MOTION, not full speed like you would see in person, it started at his chest and dropped 2-3 inches below the zone. “I know the curve” move around bro. Fastballs also have break, they don’t just travel in straight lines most of the time they start and end when their thrown most likely going to end up anywhere within a circle well thrown nonetheless. Stfu
I don't follow baseball and have never seen this movie the entire way through but I always have to stop and watch this clip whenever it comes on. Love it!
Anyone else hear a trash bin bang when she called the curve?
Oretola Thomas 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bahahaha good one😅
Lmao 😂
Astros started the Coronavirus so people could forget about their little scandal
This is the Braves stadium.. not Houston
Damn.. I missed my dad! He’s a lefty pitcher in his hey days and can throw that curve and slider like it’s nothing! Even in softball he’s unbelievable.. I wish I stick to baseball when I was a kid and he’s training me to be like him but I don’t have the balls to catch those curve ball everyday we’re training.. Rest in Peace Dad!
I am sorry for your loss.
There is always hope in the Resurrection
I played 12 inch softball as a lefty first baseman and had a lefty third basemen who could throw a 90 mile an hour fast ball at 14 years old. Twice I caught her fast ball barehanded in 1 game to tag out a runner. Couldn't write or use my hand for a week. She went on to play professional fast pitch and play for team usa twice. Still throwing 90 mile an hour.
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏾
Though of my Dad he was a great catcher. He would have loved this kid.
My dad was Nolan Ryan
i see the thumbnail, a girl is involved, and the title is including curve, so i click and not the "curve" i've expected

This is the beauty and magic of baseball. No game like it.
So a mlb hitter , knowing the exact pitch that’s coming, from a pitcher that didn’t warm up, misses every swing
looks more like a minor leaguer from his helmet
It's dumb. I know. And Gentry doesn't look like a pro player, or swing like one. Minor or Major League.
To be accurate, he's a kid just signed out of HS. But your point is well taken--it's Hollywood.
It helps that they picked one of the least athletic looking people Ive ever seen to play the professional baseball player
to start with, it’s normally “an” before a word that starts with a consonant.
i’ve seen pitchers like this, they exist and not everyone needs to warm up.
There are people that pitch better cold and get more erratic as they warm up but unfortunately usually burn out faster.
They don’t usually make it to the pro level.
Loved this part of the movie. The peanut vendor gets his revenge.

"Your going to waste my time? With him?" Nah, a renown homerunning batter wouldn't EVER turn away a chance for a an easy pitch, even if perceived as such.
Well your English teacher seemingly turned away a chance to teach you the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE
Say "this pitcher is a bit wild" and it would be a different story though. 80mph in the strike zone is fine, 60mph at your head isn't where you want to be.
