This was a really great video. I can't quite put my finger on why but it just breezed by. I think it was a mix between the pacing and direct answers but I could watch an episode of this every week.
Kelenic tinkered quite a bit over the back half of last season and ended up slugging pretty okay in the last two months. He's already got some stuff figured out, so it's just a matter of retaining what he learned last year.
Gotta say I agree with the Tigers hot take. They had 0 star talent last year and finished just shy of 80 (77) wins with just solid players. Adding 2 star players (potentially more) as well as getting Matt Manning in a 2nd year and 2 guys in Riley Greene/Spencer Torkelson coming up, this team in a very weak AL Central should compete for the division! White Sox will still likely win, but do not sleep on the Tigers!
@@oliverallen1402 personally there is no doubt Baez is a star, arguably a superstar but I say star imo. I could definitely understand someone having doubts on Rodriguez though. Looking into his analytics I think he is going to be a consistent sub 3.5 pitcher for a good time coming. I would personally regard that as a star pitcher
@@oliverallen1402 2020 was a 60 game season and many superstars/stars were horrible, especially on the Cubs. His OPS+ in last season, a full and normal MLB season was 117, which is dang good for a SS. Last season Baez had a 4.5 WAR. He has been approx a 5 WAR in any full season over the past 5 seasons, that’s easily top 10 of SS, therefore a star.
Also Oliver, a career .270 power hitting SS with speed who is an excellent gold glove winning defender is a star on paper, in case you think WAR is too analytical.
Sell. Do remember the Pirates and Rockies exist and the Nationals (and to a lesser extent Cubs) have just started a rebuild. Factor in stealing a game here and there against the heavies of the league, and the Reds will win around 70 games. The Pirates on the other hand...
The only reason I don't think the Guardians will trade for Luis Castillo is because we have a way bigger problem at outfield and catcher. I could see maybe us trading for Tyler Stephenson, or possibly Bryan Reynolds.
Hot take Kris Bryant sights with the Phillies and has a 30+ home run season with a batting average over .270 The Phillies make the playoffs with Harper Bryant and wheeler leading the way.
Awesome video man, enjoy watching both of y’all so this was cool to see. Kelenic is one of my favorites on the M’s, so I would love to see him have a great year.
Idk, Belli's swing seemed to look pretty good in the playoffs. Small sample size, but you have to feel that if he can carry that momentum he's due for a resurgence.
I mean I think he’ll have a way better year than he had in 2020 and 2021 but probably not a MVP year. Also for everybody saying the reason belli did bad in 2021 was because he sucked or some crap like that, you’re wrong. I don’t think anybody would swing well and have a MVP season after SHOULDER SURGERY and numerous other injuries.
Can't find the hot take video but Marc, I remembered one hot take was "Twins biggest move will not be a pitcher." That was correct since Correa is now on the Twins
Mariners are rising fast.... they got a killer line up, Julio Rod is going to probably win RoY and possibly MVP, then add on their rookie pitcher, their second ace, Winker crushes Right handed pitching (best in MLB last yr) Haniger, Suarez leads the major league in home runs over the past 4 or 5 yrs, then add in Adam Frazier, Ty France, was one of the best hitters in baseball second half of the year last year, along with Ty .999 fielding % at 1st, Kyle lewis is coming back (RoY in 2020) Jared Kelenic got hot towards end of his 1st year, a young stud.. Also their bullpen is in top 5 in MLB possibly Top 3.
@Foolish Baseball I don't know about top 10 MVP voting for Kelenic but with a .200ish BABIP last year, a good hard hit %, and the shift (which wrecked him) going away I'm seeing HUGE improvement for Kelenic.
BIG QUESTION: As a Mariners fan and a baseball card collector. I don’t remember seeing a Bobby Ray card in 2021. And as more casual baseball fan don’t remember hearing much about Bobby Ray during the season. Right before the lockout Seattle signs him!?! Local sports radio didn’t have much to say on Bobby
Marc isn’t really used to being on camera without talking or at least interviewing, and he just looks very unsure what to do when he’s not talking. It’s so funny
I'm going to say the Luis Robert MVP take is a massive sell. I still want him to do well (for trading card value lol) but I think Vladdy, Ohtani, Trout, and a few others like Semien are ahead of him for now. Edit: I realized immediately afterwards that I forgot to mention Matt Chapman, who will win MVP as a high 20's aged 3rd baseman the Blue Jays acquired from the Athletics (it worked for Josh Donaldson)
Love this collab! And I think if the White Sox can get either Conforto, Castellanos or Bryant (paired with Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert) they can fight for best outfield
The interesting thing about the Cardinals is that last year they had the second most valuable outfield in baseball by fWAR. Only behind Houston that is including Yordan as a outfielder fulltime. So I think you can make a very strong argument they had the best outfield last year. The only outfielders left that are potential game changers are Castellanos, Pham, Schwarber, Bryant, and Conforto. Of those players I would probably expect Bryant to play 3B, Castellanos and Schwarber to DH. So if say one of the top 5-6 outfields last year adds Pham or Conforto they would probably usurp the Cardinals, but that's it. Barring a Cedric Mullins, Bryan Reynolds, or Ramon Laureano trade.
I also think Cleveland is the current front runner to sign Nich Castellanos. Philly is trying to get Kris Bryant, blue jays are trying for Kyle Schwarber, Padres are front runners to sign Seiya, Marlins have pretty much dropped out and haven't showed interest, and the Guardians were linked to Nich earier today. He is best fit with Cleveland and will end up getting the most playing time their.
I'm taking Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay as my pitching duo. I think people forget that crazy year they had together. Not to mention, didn't they have Cole Hamel as #3?
don't know how anyone could debate best pair of pitchers all time without mentioning Kershaw and Scherzer they are both the two best pitchers in the league since the start of 2010s, both have rings, 6 combined Cy Youngs with Kershaw himself winning MVP in 2014. DeGrom is definitely elite and a top tier pitcher but come on now
Mark: “Yankees have bad pitching.” They only have Loaisiga, Cole, Montgomery, Nestor, Clay Holmes, Luis Severino. You know. But besides them, they’re bad 😂
Dude judge came to my school cuz of the lockout for batting practice and we’re three minutes away from the minor league teams stadium, and we couldn’t take any pictures or share until now after the lockout
Scary thing about the Blue Jays' rotation...these guys are absolutely right about how good that rotation can be....and they didn't even mention Ryu once. That's how good they are lol
The best pitching duo one really brought out the bias. Marc, the Mets fan, bought. Bailey, the braves fan, sold. Me, the cardinals and diamondbacks fan, sold. A lot of bias comin out
95%+ odds they still win the division but we all knew that bubble had to pop eventually-there was no way the yankees were gonna keep on that streak through september. all of a sudden, looking back, they've been a below .500 team in the past 50 games, and now they're as close to #4 in the AL East as the Astros are to #2 in the West. gonna be interesting to see how this yankees team deals with the first real test of their gumption.

This is awesome, honestly I would love to see you guys announce a game together if that opportunity comes
Now alcantara is your 2022 cy young winner unanimously
Hot take
Kris Bryant sights with the Phillies
and has a 30+ home run season with a batting average over .270
The Phillies make the playoffs with Harper Bryant and wheeler leading the way.
Signs with the phillies
Also Rizzo has a bounce back from a down 2021 and hits 23+ homers and has an average above .280 and finishes if not 1st top 10 in gold glove award.
On the pair of pitchers one, still remmember when Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay were together. Loved that duo
Awesome video man, enjoy watching both of y’all so this was cool to see. Kelenic is one of my favorites on the M’s, so I would love to see him have a great year.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the rangers adding Brad Miller dude! Huge depth signing with a ton of pop and great flexibility around the field
Johnson + Schilling will always be the best.
It’s early still but foolish with the Yankees having good pitching call 👀👀
Love the Cleveland Spiders hat.
Let’s go! Best two baseball youtubers in the same place
Great video guys. Hope you do more of em.

I loved this collab video, it would be awesome to see you on his channel or a regular series!!
Haven't watched the video yet and I am already hyped
Mine is that the Giants have a top 3 rotation in baseball and finish ahead of the Dodgers and Mets in team ERA
I also think Cleveland is the current front runner to sign Nich Castellanos. Philly is trying to get Kris Bryant, blue jays are trying for Kyle Schwarber, Padres are front runners to sign Seiya, Marlins have pretty much dropped out and haven't showed interest, and the Guardians were linked to Nich earier today. He is best fit with Cleveland and will end up getting the most playing time their.
Amazing Collab, do it again but go out to las Vegas and do it with Fuzzy

That DeGrom and Scherzer one is definite sell. Have we forgotten about the Phillies rotation a few years ago? Total sell.
3:08 Marc’s face bro 🤣
Loved every second of this!! Run it back!
I'm here at May 1st and that first take isn't too far from reality now. Maybe it's because I'm a Dodgers fan, but Belli is ballin'
I still have to go Koufax/Drysdale for greatest 1/2 starting pitcher combo ever.
I'm taking Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay as my pitching duo. I think people forget that crazy year they had together. Not to mention, didn't they have Cole Hamel as #3?
