Yesn’t anyways I got the poll right 🤟😎🔥🔥🔥

No bro you overreact about Baez

@@TrojandcartsYesn’t

Yes those tigers are more his speed. Baez is what you get when you go shopping for what you want but what you're after isn't in stock.

Pay 70 million and ship him ANYWHERE

as long as the money keeps hitting his bank account never

Swinging at every pitch gets him off the field quicker. Now all he has to do is fake an injury and he can sit at home while collecting all that dough

It got him over 100 mill, I think it’s working just fine.

His strikeout rate is actually lower with the Tigers compared to the Cubs, according to Baseball Reference. But his hard hit rate has fallen off considerably. When he was in Chicago, he would mash the ball... when he didn't strike out, that is.

Cant teach old dog new tricks this is who he was when he was getting mvp votes and he hasnt changed

Ouch. 😂

That’s why he’s swinging, angel would call it a strike anyway haha😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

This is great

great joke :)

😂😂😂😂😂

The throw must have been low & outside.

There's no sink here wdym

That’s insane. Idk what happened to buddy

​@nomercyinc6783 the stats don't mean shit on their own but their indicative of how your performing.

That's unbelievable.

He drew walks so infrequently that Cubs announcers were like, "Oh wow!" when he'd get a walk.

🤣👍

Yea I noticed the same thing throughout this vid. It’s always a curve or breaking pitch low and on the outside part of the plate

Award winning comment 😂😂😂😂

I think you meant to say Nick Castellanos, signed abPhillies fan

People identifying this as an award winning comment have no clue 😂 I understand the point, but reading this out loud makes it completely incomprehensible. Put a few more words in there lad

Same. I feel bad for him as I still see him in his Cubs jersey, but the worse he and the other 2016 players play, the better letting them go looks for Chicago.

Same. Javy was my favorite Cub for like 3 years in a row. I watched him develop all the way from 2A ball and told my mom how he was gonna be a star before he even hit triple A. Before she passed in 2018 (thank god she lived to see them win it all) one of the last things she said to me was "you were sure right about Javy." I'll never forget that and it makes it even sadder to see him turn into this.

We'll always have 1-0 over the Giants in the playoffs. Solo home run by Javy Baez.

As a White Sox fan, I can't laugh any harder 😂 Cub fans acted like they were gonna easily three peat after needing 7 games and 10 innings to beat the Indians lol😢

@@ZombieKid-.- Imma let that slide because I know you're struggling right now.

Not really, most average humans would probably just leave the bat on their shoulder and not swing at pitches a foot out of the strike zone with that much consistency.

He's so far from average, that's the crazy part. With the Cubs we watched him make superhuman defensive plays and put up crazy offensive numbers and then it just... stopped. I'm beyond thankful our front office knew when the jig was up but I'm still stunned to see the player he's become. How does it all go so wrong after playing well for years? Did the guy make a limited time deal with the devil?

@@SicaughtikDetroit sucks the soul out of people. They leave here and do great. They come here and do bad 😂

@@addisonfrance I mean, he was definitely in decline before he left Chicago but then he put up decent numbers with the Mets so who knows. I just can't believe how he fell off a cliff when it comes to offense. It's like he's going blind and hiding it from the team looking at some of those pitches he swings at.

@@Sicaughtik 🤣 yeah he swings for the fences I love Javy tho. But being from Michigan, Detroit teams don't have the best culture excluding the bad boy pistons.

That is simply not accurate, no. There is a span of time between the 16 title and all the core position players leaving in free agency. If they had fallen off a cliff right after 2016, they wouldn't have signed massive contracts elsewhere.

The core players didn't leave in free agency they were traded because that young team that won in 16' couldn't maintain their success after 2018.

@@eamonkelley3811 ? They were traded ahead of leaving in free agency, bc they would have been extremely expensive as a group and the team had no pitching in the system.

He was so fun to watch on cubs and so painful to watch on the tigers

Baez is straight cheeks 😂

It sucks he's so fun to watch when he's on.

@Mannyr-bu7qv he actually since getting booed after hitting his first Homer this year like 4-5 games ago has been one of their better players. Not saying much since they got a bottom 3 offense and small stretch but I hope he can just be close to average and have some flair in big moments again

As a Cardinal fan, we had our own version: David Freeze. We owe him a ton for what he did in 2011 - but outside of that post season in 2018 for the Dodgers never was worth the money he kept asking for.

Well he walked out once this season so...

But to be honest, Baez has never been a superstar. Sure, he is talented defensively and USED to hit some homers, but he was/is always too much of a free swinger with no plate discipline whatsoever. He's never improved

​@@brandon-ww3muwhich was only going to get worse as Baez ages and his bat slows down.

Rendon is in that club - granted he has had injuries - perennially.

Bryce Harper proves it doesn't have to be that way.

Wait spoiling the F out of a guy makes a spoiled F of a guy?? Shocking.

Absolutely! If they ever tried that though, the players union would not let it fly. Baseball would literally have to end and then a new league started minus a union. Which might not be a bad idea!!

@@bkjustice9390 definitely wouldn’t be a bad idea at this point.

Yet so many people did. Unfortunately that trade ends up not working out but it made a lot of sense at the time and he had some big hits for the team. But yes thank goodness they avoided this disaster

I am generally of the opinion more than 5 years is a mistake, albeit with some exceptions

Lou Brock and Greg Maddox agree wholeheartedly. So does Raphael Palmero.

Al was the only person that wanted Baez and now he's gone. He also passed on drafting multiple shortstops in the last draft he was involved in (took Jackson Jobe) and then passed on all other shortstops available as free agents.

Honestly, Baez might be the LEAST of Avila's mistakes, that's how bad he was.

Scott Harris is too much of a moron himself to do anything good for the org

If they buy him out, maybe he can go to the Cubs and it might light a fire in his eyes and rekindle past success. Wishful thinking on my part lol.

😆😅🤣

That’s awesome,remember her back in the day,lmao.

@@cahg3871 I remember her front in the day! 😁

Bro KB’s fall off was insane. Genuinely was hyped up as the next Trout Lmfao.

Krys bryant wasnt the same after he got hit in the head

That's the biggest BS causality loop I've ever seen

@@nightruler666 I looked it up. Ironically it was the Rockies that did that, for who he plays for now.

He’s even worse when you consider what he inherited, he took an organization that won the division, or challenged for it every year and turned it into the laughing stock of MLB.

As a Royal fan, I had to deal with 15 years of Herk Robinson and Allard Baird. We essentially traded Jermaine Dye straight up for Neifi Perez during that time

Hey his OPS+ was 3 like a week ago, so he's improving....ever so slightly (and slowly). Maybe he can get it up to 50 by the end of the season. 😂

Wencell perez could play ss

@@robertgordon7983 he can't ht. He shouldn't even be up.

@@heyitswesty he hit pretty good at aaa. I’d rather take a flyer on him than the garbage Baez has been for the last 3 years

Baez was never a SS..his POS is 2nd base..when he started this SS crap?

I will either walk or strike out looking.

Pitches in the zone?

Watch a tigers game it' happens every day man Actually don't watch the tigers none of them can hit super boring

and angel hernandez would call it a strike

He pretty much always been that way

Over and over and over . Think dude would learn

Very bold strategy

Coach was talking about 1 hour after the buffet.

Baez is the type to hit 40 HRs and still hit .180

The worst!

I'd take Rendon over baez. Atleast Rendon admits he don't fookin care

At least rendon is actually good and led a team to a championship

He was so great for us Nats, but since then...dunno what happened to him

@@MBJ000 Baez didn't?

good joke

Aged 5 years, and his hitting style didn't leave much room for decay.

You missed the part where MLB contracts are guaranteed unlike the majority of the other major sports. Also remember that both the players union and the owners agreed to those terms. The MLB players union is not afraid to go on strike to get what they want, which is evident by the multiple strikes they've had in the last 30 years.

Comparing a common plumbers diminished skills to an elite athletes diminished skills is in no way comparable. First off, you are ignoring the massive amount of economic value sport teams and players bring to their respective cities. Athletes can have an economic impact for cities for decades after they are retired. The best plumber in the city can get in a car wreck one day and break his leg. Yeah he might miss work for a couple weeks, but eventually they'd go back to work and be just as productive as they were before or close to it. A plumbers diminished skillset and their economic impact is negligible when compared to a professional athletes. And their are "diminished skill" clauses for MLB players. These are called team options/free agency/DFAs/trades/arbitration. Baseball players have rights just like any other employee and they have fought hard for years to be protected. Look into the Oakland A's teams of the 80s that were perennial WS contenders and see what their owner did to those players and avoid paying them.

@@pray4us955 I covered the fully guaranteed contracts. Apparently, you missed the part where I said these fully guaranteed contracts without a diminished skills clause are ridiculous. Yes, the owners and players union agreed on certain conditions that take care of the overall terms but they do not cover the details of each individual contract. Each player has their own specific contract, so these clauses can be placed in any contract, it's up to the player to sign it or not. I'm sure most players today would just refuse to sign a contract with that clause in it. Although, you never know how a player feels about their ability or if they feel like they are fortunate just to make it to MLB and are willing to sign a contract like that. As a matter of fact, in September 2002 the Chicago White Sox invoked a "diminished skills" clause in Frank Thomas' contract and refused to pay him his full salary for that season. Here's a portion of the ESPN story - The White Sox sent Thomas a letter on Oct. 6 telling him they were invoking a "diminished skills'' clause in his contract, a lawyer with knowledge of the talks said Tuesday on condition of anonymity. That clause would reduce his base pay to $250,000, and defer most of his nearly $10 million salary. Thomas can choose to terminate the contract and become a free agent. If he does, he would then have 45 days to explore the market or return to the White Sox contract. I'm not sure what the final outcome of this situation was but it just shows that there can be these clauses in contracts, and there have been these clauses in contracts of MLB players. www.espn.com/mlb/news/2002/1015/1446467.html

@@pray4us955 So, you now agree that there are "diminished skills" contacts in MLB? Your initial comment seemed different. Also, I responded to your prior comment as well, showing an actual "diminished skills" clause being initiated against a big named MLB star. Also, one player does not a league make. One contract does not affect a city, town or state. Not sure why all of the economics are being brought into this discussion, we are talking about a "clause" being put into certain players' contracts, nothing else. Yes, the A's "management/ownership is a train wreck, just as some other ownership groups have been, but that's not what was being discussed at all. There shouldn't be a rabbit hole to jump into and discuss other things. Now that you agree that there are "diminished skills" clauses there's really nothing more to discuss. Those clauses should be in place for certain players, or even most players, and apparently they are in place for certain players. That's all that was really said from the beginning.

​@@pray4us955Let them f'n strike then. Remember last time when fans were literally willing to say "K Bye"?

"Booing your own players really doesn't do anything. Unless the player was disrespectful to the fans." You mean like the time Baez gave a "thumbs-down" to the Mets' fans? (Joined by his buddy Lindor, who has been in and out, but is at least better than Javy.)

No WS win though...
