You people are the stupidest morons on UA-cam and don't know a thing about baseball. Fig Newtons are WAY better than a Butterfinger. Anybody that says otherwise is an idiot.
Being a pirates fan is like being a fan of a minor league team: all you can really do is hope your favorite players are good when they get called up to a real major league team
Kevin Newman!! Im a tribe fan but I am really hoping Newman just completely breaks out into stardom. Alot of people dont believe in him much, but I just gotta faaaeeeling!
"This is what happens when data meets talent". Foolish Baseball says while looking in the mirror every morning. Love everything about this channel and share it as much as I can
In all seriousness, thank you so much for your content, I’ve yet to come across a channel with more knowledge, wit, and entertainment. Your channel and videos have made me love the game of baseball even more so thank you and keep up the good work
Great call on Robbie, among other things the exaggerated turn he made in his wind up made a huge difference for him, made his slider-fastball convo unhittable.
Wow rich hill really had surprisingly similar numbers to Glasnow in the 2019 season. Too bad he gets injured so often. Hills very underrated and one of the best pitchers in baseball when healthy
@@FoolishBaseball Probably, I think they have a chance to sign him to an extension though, or at least keep him for 3 more seasons before he hits free agency.
The joke about a butter finger for a fig newton killed me. Great job on the video!! Your ability to display the data and talk the viewer through its relevance is impressive. Great content and insights. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for all that you do for these videos. The statistics and information that you analyze and present always blows me away and it can't be easy. I hope you keep doing this for a long time to come! Amazing stuff :)
Man I'm SO GLAD the pirates traded Austin Meadows and him (with Shane Baz too?) for CHRIS ARCHER Why is being a pirates fan nothing but pain? Can you do an episode on Robert Clemente or something plz make my pirates fandom less painful
@@FoolishBaseball don't play with my heart like this you dare show me some good pirates baseball? such a thing exists? (keep up the great work man, thanks for responding to my comment! everything you put out is gold and I love it all, I'll watch no matter what you do)
great video bailey! I like Glasnow a lot too, I was able to see him in person in 2018 in Boston against the Red Sox. He got roughed up in the first inning and then absolutely rebounded and was able to go 7 innings I think, which was when they were stretching him out into a starter after the trade. I also remember picking him up for my fantasy team after seeing a Jeff Passan tweet minutes after the trade that said "Note on the Archer deal for the Rays: Pitching coach Kyle Snyder is 6-foot-8 and a savant at helping pitchers understand and control their bodies. Well, Tyler Glasnow is a 6-foot-8 pitcher who struggles with repeating his delivery and throwing strikes. Perfect situation for him." Seems to have worked. Looking forward to the next video!
Glasnow went to hart highschool which is 15 min from where I live, we were in the same school district but he was there a few years before I went to highschool myself. I always thought it was kinda cool since seeing him in the world series. It really is a small world
I never liked baseball ⚾️ But after watching your videos, I was totally wrong about not appreciating such a beautiful game. The art of explaining the phases of the game is perfect. I do not have a baseball team but sure as hell I watch mlb games now just for the fun of all the little details you explained Thank you sir for showing me the amazing game of baseball
Knowing my luck with my "Christian Yelich has the best chance to hit .400," he'll probably throw 10 curveballs all hit for home runs before getting pulled.
It's unbelievable that you only have 1.27k subscribers. I didn't remember how many you had, so I glanced at it expecting a million at the very least. You do a fucking awesome job, my guy. If you enjoy it, keep it up. There's no way you don't blow up at some point. Maybe part of your issue is the average age of baseball fans and their aversion to using the internet, let alone going far enough to subscribe to UA-cam channels. Good luck buddy!
"At least as much adversity as someone who's 6-foot-8 and looks like Ciilian Murphy can face". I'm 5-foot-8 and look like a young Lenn Sakata. The struggle is real, bro.
I ain't a Rays fan but I haven't missed a Glasnow start since he arrived in Tampa. He is nothing short of electric and so much fun to watch. This is an absolutely amazing breakdown of his pitching. Awesome video.
I loved this video, the best baseball bits videos expose an obscure topic and make it sound like the most important thing you’ve ever heard before. it has a lot of nerdy shit that still has an irl applicable purpose in today’s baseball world. This is really well done. Idk if it’s on the level of some of the best vids you’ve ever made. But it’s certainly close and rn, this is an A tier. 👏👏👏
As always, great work. I'm always looking forward to your videos. As a numbers guy and a huge baseball fan, they hit on everything I'm looking for in a UA-cam video.
Love how everyone's in here calling glasnow a cheater when foolish predicted it at 2:15 (and it doesn't even matter because this is an institutional problem and picking a few players to scapegoat is what the people who let substance use get out of control want to avoid accountability)
After this season unfortunately we figured out what makes it special... Banned foreign substance =( I was looking forward to seeing the Rays and their young guys make deep playoff run
9:28 social science again! i was referring to a podcast that had fallen through last time i commented and social science was the theme song. thanks for the glasnow vid. even though i’m a sox fan, he’s my favorite pitcher to watch
By far the best baseball content on UA-cam. Have you ever done any breakdowns between elite 3rd base coaches and awful ones? Is there any measurable evidence that differentiates them? Would love to know!
I've watched most of your video, love them! Key to a hard to hit ball: movement, hands down. One pitcher to look out for is Dustin May. Look him up if you don't know. If he gets better at his command I could see him being a dominant pitcher in the mlb

Foolish Baseball you should stream more on twitch
it's pronounced Kill-e-n Murphy
Foolish Baseball will you adopt me
He still tips his pitches
This video went by fast
Whoa releasing on a day he's starting, look at that planning right there
yoo mlb!
real recognized real, foolish baseball is the best commentary channel by far
That just means he has to pitch well or I'm a fraud. Good thing he's only facing the (looks at schedule) oh no
EDIT: I'M A FRAUD
MLB! Youre acting pretty cool!
@@FoolishBaseball Hey, the Rays shut them out yesterday, there's still hope that you might not be a fraud!
It’s hard to believe someone so well versed in percentages wouldn’t see right through the fateful third grade lunch trade
This is Foolish Baseball’s tragic superhero backstory
It was at that moment that I dedicated myself to metrics, never to be outdone in a trade again.
Hindsight is 2020 amirite?
You people are the stupidest morons on UA-cam and don't know a thing about baseball. Fig Newtons are WAY better than a Butterfinger. Anybody that says otherwise is an idiot.
@@tedgey4286 the shame you bring your family must be debilitating.
You're the kind of guy that would say cheesenips are better than goldfish too

Same with Mariners
Watch them trade josh bell
2010-2020 Marlins in a nutshell
Jeff Finkbonner I’m with ya there...it’s rough
Kevin Newman!! Im a tribe fan but I am really hoping Newman just completely breaks out into stardom. Alot of people dont believe in him much, but I just gotta faaaeeeling!
Me, a Pirates fan: “I don’t like where this is going”
that trade though? wow! how many Pirates front office were terminated for that trade?
Javy C we cleaned house
This video hurt the whole way through
Veno202 not enough
At least you didn't trade a Butterfinger for some Fig Newtons.
Ah yes “Kate Upton’s husband”
Yeah Kate Upton's husband. Isn't he like a cricket player or something?
Foolish Baseball somethin like that. I was thinking squash though
Zachary Sheinberg croquet?
Foolish Baseball did you intitionally put verlander striking out Justin upton on purpose
Zack Haselius maybe... oh I know! Badminton!

What the title should have been: Foolish Baseball Makes the NASTIEST Videos on UA-cam
Foolish Baseball responds to the NICEST comments on UA-cam
when I die someone tell my grandkids I was here before foolish baseball has 200k subscribers
Your grandkids might be confused by that.
Foolish Baseball naw have billions of subs
I was here before 5k
In all seriousness, thank you so much for your content, I’ve yet to come across a channel with more knowledge, wit, and entertainment. Your channel and videos have made me love the game of baseball even more so thank you and keep up the good work
This guy and Thinking Basketball are the GOATs of sport analytics.
Great call on Robbie, among other things the exaggerated turn he made in his wind up made a huge difference for him, made his slider-fastball convo unhittable.
“Sillian” bruh it’s pronounced Kill-ian hahaha. i love you though xoxo
Cill me
my face was 👁👄👁 at that pronunciation. A good chuckle ✊🏽
Hid name is pronounced like sillian
Wow rich hill really had surprisingly similar numbers to Glasnow in the 2019 season. Too bad he gets injured so often. Hills very underrated and one of the best pitchers in baseball when healthy
Crazy he is 40, one of my favorite underrated pitchers
God I’m so glad I’ve been a rays fan for a while so my team doesn’t have to face him
Don't worry they'll trade him in two years.
Foolish Baseball don’t remind us man
@@FoolishBaseball Probably, I think they have a chance to sign him to an extension though, or at least keep him for 3 more seasons before he hits free agency.
@@FoolishBaseball now that he's had TJ, this feels like more of a possibility.

I’m sad that the cubs cards series was cancelled
Gonna be A LOT of doubleheaders to make this season work with all the start/stop going on.
As a fellow cubs fan, I’m also sad. We could have easily won the series
We were rolling and some of our pitchers were stepping up
As a Cubs fan agree

God being a pirates fan just sucks. i miss the 2015 wild card game
Clemente episode is definitely possible down the line

My name is Chris archer and I’m having zero fun
gonna need an updated version of the video clarifying that Robbie ray did in fact “get his stuff together”
11:49 *when data and sunscreen meet talent
You can't use all your talent if you're sunburned.

This channel is so underrated it’s ridiculous. Keep up the insane work
The entire Ray's pitching staff deserves a video
Yes, tell me their secrets
Time to binge watch these videos I’ve already seen twice!
This makes me feel great considering the Yankees play him in 2 hours. 😐
Knowing my luck with my "Christian Yelich has the best chance to hit .400," he'll probably throw 10 curveballs all hit for home runs before getting pulled.
Buzzer Beater Your first mistake was rooting for the Yankees
@@FoolishBaseball You put a whammy on anyone? Noooo way!
how do i haha react a youtube comment?
You guys have cole up. I would’ve much rather preferred the Rays tanking Game 1 and battling in Game 2

lol but for real young Lenn Sakata is very handsome
Thank you for finally making a video on Glasnow!!! I’ve been waiting
Just a heads up. If Mike Trout homers on his birthday next year, he will tie the record for most birthday Bombas!
This stat is unfair to players born during the off season 😂
I ain't a Rays fan but I haven't missed a Glasnow start since he arrived in Tampa. He is nothing short of electric and so much fun to watch. This is an absolutely amazing breakdown of his pitching. Awesome video.
I think you have to analyze the Pirates “managerial decisions”
you are seriously the most criminally underrated youtuber ever. keep up the good work i love the videos
Do a video on Aaron Judge's strike zone. It seems like he's always leading the league in balls called strikes
He’s massive there’s always going to be balls that are called strikes against him
Check out his second channel. He showed how he extracted the data and did the math.
Tl;Dr: Yes it's crazy unfair for Judge!

Wow you really predicted Robbie Ray's great year this year
He always had the potential. Happy for him.
Surprised you still respond to 2 year old videos props to you my good sir
Ive been on a Curve ball binge the past week and this made my morning.
do a vid about Urshela's MAJOR breakout season
That Robbie Ray mention is really crazy looking back
Fast-forward 2 months, and he's in the world series
And giving up a two run homer to Bellinger
As always, great work. I'm always looking forward to your videos. As a numbers guy and a huge baseball fan, they hit on everything I'm looking for in a UA-cam video.
The ole uncle Charlie in the dirt😂
RIP Uncle Charlie
@@FoolishBaseball I miss him man
Finally a video on Glasnow, thank you.
Who saw that weird guy dancing at 11:00
I edited the video, and I didn't even notice that!
Did you also know that Tyler Glasnow can do a back flip
As a Tampa Bay fan since birth, I appreciate the fact that you covered Tyler's come up in this video.
Actually, Wade Leblanc threw the nastiest pitch in baseball just the other day, didn't you see Jomboy's video?
Best pitch ever man! It was a ball unfortunately 😭
Can't emphasize how much I love these videos!!! Well done Foolish, Well done
Last time I was this early, the Astros were a respectable baseball organization
Wow you really are early
Holy crap buddy’s early
so early the astros were an nl central team that lost to the white sox in the world serie
jees man 2016?
You didn't spell Trashtros correctly.
I can't tell you how awesome your videos are, your perspective is so interesting!
Last time I came this early, I was still happy...
You've been killing it this year Foolish, keep up the awesome work.
Thank you!
Love how everyone's in here calling glasnow a cheater when foolish predicted it at 2:15 (and it doesn't even matter because this is an institutional problem and picking a few players to scapegoat is what the people who let substance use get out of control want to avoid accountability)
I was looking for a comment like this. It’s crazy how many of his videos have aged over time
Love your content, sir. Looking forward to more insightful analyses in the future.
Do a video about Dustin May please!
We need a hair analysis on him
I second this
Went to highschool with Tyler, he was always cool and I'm glad to see he's finally getting it all together.
If Jeff Mathis and Tyler Glasnow are ever on the same team they would win the world series
But the last time I was this early Tyler Glasnow was bad
wew
Yeah, pretty crazy
Notifications of a new Foolish Baseball video have finally replaced the gaping whole left in my soul by growing out of a childhood Christmas Morning
chaz "Chad" roe would like to have a word with you
Dustin May's 99 mph 2 seam would like to have a word as well
Dustin May was doing some reality-warping shit against the Padres
Chaz Roe gets a shoutout! Some of the Dustin May vs Padres stuff was helped by the camera angle imo.
@@FoolishBaseball but his electric 2 seamer movement leads the majors... In other words he's no fluke.
Brusdar Graterol too. Red Sox could have had him.....
Excellent use of Detroit’s Boyd as a “get it together, man” examplar
Watched this vid then watched the yanks annihilate his curve today
Foolish BB I am LOVING the every 2 week uploads!
Just trying to keep the pace up during baseball season. Glad you appreciate it.
Watching this video as Glasnow gives up homers in the World Series
The soundtrack for this episode was just so great.
After this season unfortunately we figured out what makes it special... Banned foreign substance =(
I was looking forward to seeing the Rays and their young guys make deep playoff run
I absolutely love this channel never disappointed in a video!!
We now know why he threw nasty pitches😂
Becoming my favorite channel more and more keep up the great work
Dude has been in the league since 2016 and has 414 innings pitched..thats not good…
By the way, Glasnow has started to throw the sinker and slider in addition to his 4seam/curve.
2:18 Boy, that didn’t age well
My favorite day is always New Foolish Baseball upload day. I wish this was a weekly series on MLB Network. ❤️
Have to disagree here on the trade: Butterfinger for fig Newtons seems like a win win imo
Another great vid foolish. We love to see it!
well that’s gone now
As a Pirates fan, I'm already dreading this.
Who's here after Renato Núñez took his curveball deep 😂
Well it was one bad pitch it hung in the zone
going through all of foolish baseballs stuff waiting for baseball to start again😫😫
All aided by the sticky stuff.... #agedlikemilk
He had a 2.45 ERA in his two starts after the ban. Better than his ERA before the ban.
9:28 social science again! i was referring to a podcast that had fallen through last time i commented and social science was the theme song. thanks for the glasnow vid. even though i’m a sox fan, he’s my favorite pitcher to watch
This video did not age well.....
Awesome vid! Love your way of breaking things down
Fun fact! I was at the game where Glasnow made his MLB debut. I’m happy that this has become a fun fact instead of a oh that’s kinda neat fact.
" and Clayton ker-.. WoW Clayton Kershaw again!?!?!" xD legendary
I’ve been watching all your old videos this morning
And now you've got a new one!
Foolish Baseball yes sir!
By far the best baseball content on UA-cam.
Have you ever done any breakdowns between elite 3rd base coaches and awful ones? Is there any measurable evidence that differentiates them?
Would love to know!
Hell ye, was just needing something to watch. Thanks for the content as always my dude
You're welcome! Thank you for the kinds words
Foolish, you're up there with the Internet Historian and Many A True Nerd in terms of content quality. Love you buddy
its always a good day when foolish baseball posts
Top notch humor. Top notch analysis. As per usual.
Dude, this channel is the best
watching this before his start tonight. he is so dreamy and good at pitching. i'm just a walking heart eyes emoji over here right now
Addicted to your videos just found you the other day
I've watched most of your video, love them! Key to a hard to hit ball: movement, hands down. One pitcher to look out for is Dustin May. Look him up if you don't know. If he gets better at his command I could see him being a dominant pitcher in the mlb
Best channel! Absolutely love your videos man
6:25 Rockies: Hold my glove.
I love your stuff man! Keep it up!
We need a vid on the even year giants
As a yankees fan I look forward to watching him pitch. Hope he stays healthy for a very long time. Just cant deny the talent
