Skenes getting called up 15 minutes after you posting this is hilarious

"The Cardinals uniforms aren't even arriving until June." ... Are their bats supposed to arrive then too? 😏😏

“The number of fastballs over 100 had tripled in just 3 years” yea im not surprised injuries have exploded. With so much spin and speed now it seems like injuries are inevitable atp

THANKS FOR MENTIONING THE LAST DIVE BAR people!!! They have been working hard to keep sports in Oakland. Grew up going to games at the coli and those guys were always there celebrating the town

White Sox having 6-22 in the starting month is absolutely insane

I was in the middle of watching the Paul Skeenes stuff right when I got the notification from ESPN when he got called up lmao

The oakland A's rn are like the real life team from the movie Major League

Whoa whoa whoa, the Dodgers didn't offer Ohtani that contract. Ohtani offered that contract to multiple teams but the Dodgers were one of two teams that agreed to that contract.

I don't think the pitch clock is breaking pitchers arms. I think throwing 96+ mph is. The pitch clock has only been around for a season and arm blowouts have been going up for a while. Not every pitcher needs to be a velocity pitcher, especially before they are 25...

all of this would matter if baseball existed...

The injury trend chart basically shows that it has nothing to do with the pitch clock since the biggest peak in the minor league was the year before the pitch clock. Also for MLB there basically is no difference 2012 had 42 which is similar to 2023. Its obviously velocity.

"and now everyone in baseball can be happy again" is the best joke i've heard all day

Recent subscriber here. Unbelievable how entertaining these videos are. Quality content👌

We need more of these monthly recaps, these vids are so great!

The Blanco story is amazing to hear. That dude worked his butt off to get where he is now. Wishing him the best once his suspension is up, which I believe is bogus

I was talking with a former MLB pitching coach and he claims that the reason injuries have gone up is because the league has cracked down on illegal substances. In an effort to spin the ball like they used to (illegally) they contort and whip their arms more, causing more injuries. When I asked, he said that 3 years ago over 3/4 of his pitching rotation (which I won't name) was abusing sticky substances and that was, according to him, about average compared to other MLB teams

Every new video I watch, I realize the old intro drop is never coming back. When the song ends without the drop, it feels like a sneeze going away.

2024 is the most exciting I think the sport has been since maybe the Sosa/Mcguire era. All kinds of wild shit happening all over the league, these injuries have been hard to watch though, too many too early.

I don't watch baseball, but I always enjoy watching BDE. Great coverage of MLB controversies/news and honestly makes baseball more entertaining.

This season is crazy

Easily the best baseball channel on KZfaq. How do you not have 1M subs yet?? Keep up the amazing videos

The pitch clock has nothing to do with pitchers who refuse to adjust to having no grip enhancers. They are blowing their arms out instead of adjusting how they throw.

Velocity as an issue with pitchers is plausible. Another factor is how spin rate has become a factor. More RPMs on pitches can be just as damaging as velocity. Max RPMs is also a part of throwing hard. Max RPMs on a slider is going to put much more strain per pitch on an arm. Keep going max Velo and Max RPMs is asking to injure a pitcher's arm.

HE UPLOADED LFG!

I like recaps like this. Don't have much time to always watch games but recaps help a ton.

I don’t watch baseball at all, but I’m always drawn to watch your videos. They’re amazing ! And it’s the only way I keep up with baseball right now. Thanks for the great videos !

I love how I watch all of these segments in shorts and still come back and watch the entire video 😂

This season is crazy, and perfectly summed up by BDE, keep it up❤❤

Thanks for this summary. Excellent work.

Loved the recaps last season, I'm happy that you're continuing them this season. I hope this gets even bigger this year.

The pitch clock has made baseball 100 times better.

Dude, the writing and transition between topics was great.

The way you tie your script together topic to topic is always top notch!🔥 favorite baseball KZfaqr!

I was working at the Fredericksburg nationals stadium when we still had Holliday, that boy got people in that stadium. The amount I made in tips from people coming to see him play was insane

Dude I love when you make this “this season in baseball” update vids lol it literally catches me up on 💩 I didn’t even know was going on in my favorite sport. Speaking of which lol @ the white Sox 😂😂

The A’s closer started he’s college career in D3

I love these videos as they keep me up to date with the league as a uk mlb fan please keep them coming

Yo my man is amazing keep it up bde The content is better than ever

0:43 the Brett Baty running into the up is to funny 😂

Thank you for this video! I don't have the bandwidth to follow baseball anymore but I love the stories that come out of the MLB. This is a great digest

Your vids are so good bro thanks for posting!

I don’t even play or watch baseball much but these videos are so entertaining that I watch them anyway

this season has been lit so far ngl it’s so fun

“But nothing is as broken as the Chicago White Sox” *laughingly gleefully from the north side*

Spencer Strider actually ended up getting a different procedure, he got a UCL Brace no TJ, his UCL was intact but he had a bone fragment growing into it

My buddies and I were at the Sox game where they walked it off, we had no faith in them after the rays scored so we started to head out, just to here benitendi’s walk off from the bathrooms.

Love the channel keep it up

Baseball doesn’t exist without this channel. Thanks man. We really appreciate all the work you put in for us. Legend….

I genuinely love your videos so much bro! My wife has never been into sports and your videos have helped me get her into baseball 🤙🏻

20:04 u can see me and dog Ty with the sign

I'm a MLB fan but I don't even watch any game. I can't afford it. It costs too much to buy a sports cable package. Tickets to a live game? Ha! Never. So, I get my MLB fix listening to the radio and staying up to date with YT posts like this one. MLB is missing the boat on keeping fans happy and connected to the league. Social media is the future but it is like MLB wants to keep a lid on people profiting from their "public" enterprise social media. It's crazy but I find it more entertaining listening to a Trevor Bauer vlog than watching a MLB game with their boring commentary and predictable format. MLB is breaking the game.

I adore that even though I only watch these little bits, I still return to view the full video.

the pitch clock isn't even the reason behind the arm injuries, it might contribute a little bit but the main problem is the shift in mentality to throwing as hard with as much spin as possible. That's more strain than the body can take.

I love how the chart shows the pitch clock is not the cause of the injuries, yet people still bitch about it. The injuries have been increasing as pitch counts and pitch velocities have increased.

As a Jays fan, the Jays boo-ing Ohtani was the dumbest move. Why blame Ohtani for Morosi's mistake? You're just reinforcing his choice to go somewhere else.

My guy, your videos and style are immaculate. Please consider doing monthly videos, at the minimum. You are killing it!

The way you transition to each subject is amazing, great work!

might have spoke too soon on Blanco lol

Bro these vids are banging

Man this is a great video, you should do this monthly, great work!

Grayson Rodriguez was put on the injured list too, making it 9 out of the 10 hardest throwing pitchers on IL

Paul Skenes is making his debut this Saturday

my hot baseball take is that mlb should institute a max velocity, and any pitch over is a ball. this would increase hits, making games more interesting, and switch pictures focused to more visually impressive pitches that have more movement and would increase the strategy of an ab by de-emphasizing throwing the ball hard

I mean, the velocity thing is 100% accurate, pitchers are throwing faster than ever. Pitchers are being encouraged to injure themselves and that’s pretty obvious. I think increasing the pitch clock to 35 or 40 seconds would probably be good as well. But it is primarily a pitcher issue I’d think over the clock itself. Players need to remember that they are human.

Nolan Ryan injured his arm in 1969 he rehabbed it instead of surgery. His arm lasted till he was 46. He was the hardest thrower ever. Everyone and their brother gets Tommy John surgery. It's getting surgery when it is not necessary.

As a new baseball fan, tbh I like the pitch clock rule. Why? It gives more action and not having to engage/disengage every time by the pitchers. So more action and less standing around (based on my brief search on past games). However I do feel like the current time we have is too fast. A bit leniency on time should help it by a bit, also too many rules with how the pitcher should face bla bla…. Most if the umpires do whatever they like anyway so its not gonna be relevant most of the time. Let them do their thing so batter and base runners need to be more agile and active and anticipate those movements. Ofc my opinion will be hated, harassed by some ‘hardcore, I’ve watched baseball even before I was born’ type of fan. But that’s just my perspective from a new baseball fan, feel free to disagree. Maybe share some of your perspective rather than straight pumping your hatred to me.

Who is here after Skenes was called up

really well done video, thanks for this content. subbed.

This is easily my favorite youtube channel at this point. Such good stuff.

the level of self-control you have, not referring to the woman who caught the Ohtani ball as "Sugar Titts," is top drawer

All I got from this is that I’m now a big Blanco guy

The pitch clock has nothing to do with arm problems, the pitchers ruintines and throwing progression is what's causing it. Trevor Bauer has never had arm problems and he never takes weeks off and throws a shit ton of pitches at a fast pace.

I love how the video says the jerseys are literally breaking on the field and shows picture of ripped pants

The pitch clock absolutely plays a part in the rise in injuries. Pitching is a very explosive movement, just like any pylometric move done in a gym. Reducing rest time hinders your bodies ability to recover, so why are people shocked by this in baseball?

Can we just talk about how seamless the transitions between segments are in your videos, like damn its butter

It’s absolutely velocity. If you look at bullpen sessions, the only thing you hear from the coaches is something along the lines of, “that was 89, let’s see 90.” Then as soon as they get 90, “there you go, now take it another gear up, give me 91.” Always telling them to throw harder and harder. 2 out of every 3 corrections are something to do with either the velocity or spin numbers being too low. The human elbow is not designed to handle these types of forces, it’s that simple. It’s why there aren’t hardly any Olympic gymnasts over the age of 25, because by 25 gymnastics will have destroyed your body to the point where you can’t compete at that level anymore. Figure skating too. The world champs are like 14 for “men’s” figure skating. Or a 13 year old “women’s” figure skating champion. The sad truth is that it’s likely physically impossible for a person to maintain average velocities in excess of 100mph for an extended period of time without injury.

Under 1 hour gang 👇

Your videos are amazing. I happily sit here and listening to you talk about a sport I hate and have never watched 😂

Love the midseason recap! Keep em coming!

So basically here is how to make a grilled cheese Start off by getting your two slices of bread, lots of kinds of bread can be used such as sourdough which is pretty popular although I personally prefer using white bread. Next you need to get your cheese, lots of cheeses exist that are really good for grilled cheese but I realize that most people don't have many types of cheeses at home just laying there so if all you have are slices of American cheese I would recommend just using two slices per grilled cheese because that's just my personal preference for cheese to bread ratio Now for the cooking, I know some people use panini presses which work very well but most people don't have a panini press so you can just get an oven top and a stove and set heat at 3 and put butter on the pan and spread it around then when it's melted slap on the grilled cheese and keep it there until it is golden brown which is when you take it off and put another piece of butter on there and put the grilled cheese back on when it melts once that side has turned golden brown as well you must take it off and I personally recommend cutting it diagonally to make triangle and once you do that you can enjoy your delicious grilled cheese

Preventing kids from saying first

"Getting rid of these players isn't really because of the wristband" >Every person on their staff is getting told to censor anything with the word Oakland on it I think it's because of the wristband.

1 view in 53 seconds bro fell off

I'm so tired of ohtani... ugh

Not since This Week In Baseball, have I enjoy a update show like I did this one! Great job, man!

It’s obviously the obsession with velocity in the sport. The players don’t want to admit that, because that obviously hurts them in contract negotiations. The pitch clock has made the game 10x more watchable.

BDE you have to do more livestreams. It was fun just chilling with you trying to bunt with Bartolo Colon in every MLB game lol

Being from NY its been pretty hard to keep up with all the action lately😂 Thank you for the thorough updates

BDE put up this chaotic season wonderfully. Keep it up.

Never realized Baseball Doesn’t Exist and Buck Dick Energy have the same acronym until that sponsorship.

Never fail to entertain. Thanks for all the great videos, and the first stream ever was hype 👌🏼

I am always pumped when your videos drop, you have a way of making a 20 minute video feel like 3. Absolutely excellent. You and jomboy media should have a collaboration. I think it would be great for both of your channels ans companies.

I love how informative these vids are and still so interesting

Incredible transitions on this one, brother

I love this! Great video on a crazy season. My Mets are a mess. But my Phillies are flying!!

This is a really good video. Sums stuff up well

Only your videos could make me love baseball even more, thanks

These videos are my favorite way to watch baseball 😊

Great content the As stuff is so sad. Also pitcher injuries are 1000% up due to increased velocity
