Can we talk about how 2008 Ryan Howard had 48 hr and 146 rbi, but only managed 1.8 war? (I understand defense and baserunning counts for a lot with war, still crazy)

Chase utley having 9.0 WAR in 2008 is absurd

He was one of the biggest hype bats for the Nats in the 2010s, I'm not sure why he got forgotten so quickly.

That walk-off HR against the Cardinals in the playoffs is still the loudest that Nationals Park has ever been.

Werth is on the Nationals' ring of honor. Sure, they've only existed since 2005, so the bar was not super high, but it wasn't all about the statistics during his time in Washington. He was a veteran leader of a team and city that were learning what it was like to succeed in MLB

Before I click play, I really want to drive the point home how much it sucks he didn't get to be on that Nationals squad that won it all. He was one of the many guys who got looked down upon in baseball circles because signing with the Nationals when he did was seen as a "cash grab" He would've fit like a glove on that squad. Really glad the Nationals put him in their ring of honor, he deserved it.

Wasn't gonna watch until I heard "those people can kiss my ass".

1:12 "Jayson Werth, from the jump..." as he's jumping in the air, nice😂 Also I remember him ticking off a bunch of people right before he retired when he said that sabermetrics were "killing baseball".

about to be another icyvert/srs classic i can feel it

Yes! I absolutely loved him with the Phillies

As a fellow Phillies fan, I had no problem with him signing the contract with the Nats. I'd actually wished him luck.

holy freak yes yes yes he needs the recognition

Don’t forget he was also the rated R superstar Edge too!

As a Nationals fan, those mid-10s seasons where we were very good but not great were always brutal. Jason Werth was one of our best players during that time for sure. I'd love to see a video about Ryan Zimmerman!

I was still a Dodgers "fan" when MVP Baseball 2005 came out. He was epitome of a good player and could smoke lefties. I enjoyed seeing his name from afar, and it was nice to see him mentor Harper for his first few years in the bigs. Great video!

I loved victorino and utley as a kid Jason was number 3

I miss hearing "WERTH-QUAKE" when he hit dingers in Washington

When Werth signed with the Nats, that began their coming into their own as legitimate contenders. He actually was a driving force behind the club making changes in the clubhouse and behind the scenes stuff that gave the Nats street cred with other potential free agents that this was a legitimate MLB franchise.

Nationals fans never forget that walk off home run

Love him, my brother and i saw Marsh for the Phillies a few weeks back and his hair and beard made me think of this badass! Was not aware he's from Springfield! I'm from southern IL, that's badass!

miss him w the nats

He took some credit for the Nationals winning in 2019. My impression of him is he really feels like a National.. idk. Great guy! Loved him in DC

One of my favorite players on the 08 core. So glad he’s doing well

1:05 this was my first ever Phillies game I think I was 8 years old.

Lmao the Mariners got him at the end. Never knew that and I'm a Mariners fan 😂

See Jason werth was a fun guy on the Phillies. I want marsh to become like that.

legend

The Rated R Superstar

Werth was one of my favorite players that never was on my team growing up

You know who was another cool dude? Jonny Gomes. Check him out sometime

Great vid I would love to see an Adam jones vid

I loved watching this dude when I was growing up!!!!

One of my favorite players in Phils history, great video. To his day I don't fault him for getting his bag from the Nationals. Unfortunately with how many stories end with ex-professional athletes going broke, stories like Jayson's are a shining example in the opposite direction.

Great video. As always!

i’ve been boiling water to make ramen while watching this video. watched the whole thing and i now realize i didn’t turn the stove on

A fellow #28 enthusiast, hell yea

This guy is so cool he lives by me

7:35 "Mighty Los Angeles Dodgers" My guy, as a Dodgers fan myself, I am here to tell you that we won 84 games in 2008. Mighty is a stretch.

I was at the “kiss my ass” game, love him

As a Phillies fan, I've always said that the downfall of that team started when we lost him. But I can't blame him. The Nationals offered him bank. You can't pass that up lol

Ppl saying “was it werth it?” Acting like he didn’t get 126 million dollar contract to do it 😂

Even though he didn’t finish his career with my Phillies I hope we can retire his number with us however he was def underrated especially in that era. Y’all just had to be there 🥹🥹🥹

Jayson Werth hair was insane lol

Mariner legend Jayson Werth 🫡

Jayson Werth is what Brandon Marsh tries to be ☠️ he is underrated

I just remember the giants beat both teams he was on in the playoffs 😂

Always a good/very good player

Imagine if the Orioles never gave up on him.

Love ya. Lost me when it’s because of his number lmao

Enjoyed the video, but Jayson's been around in baseball since that 2018 reunion. That same 2018 weekend, he played with Nats teammate Adam LaRoche in a retired guys baseball tourney in Louisville - the reason he was getting some at bats in the men's league! Look it up in the Courier Journal- nice write ups. I had family there at the time, so I went down for the series. It was great for me to see him play several games in a Nats uni one more time. (He's my favorite, too.) He was at Nats Park in Sept 2018 to be installed in our Ring of Honor, and until he moved, he stopped by to watch games now and again. He was at Nats Park when we won the NLCS in 2019, and at our WS games in DC and Houston. He was at Nats Park to retire Ryan Zimmerman's jersey in 2022, and just last week, he was in the booth for a Nats game with our broadcasters for nearly the entire game. I had money on Dornach for the Belmont, so Jayson's next venture has been very exciting so far!!! ⚾🐎

I guess I'll be the Toronto fan that didn't want to see him traded. He was highly regarded by fans that really knew... and he was traded for bullpen help. But was WAY down in the depth charts.

phillies legend

I can't be the only one that keeps confusing Jayson Werth with Michael Morse for no good reason whatsoever except for the fact that they look vaguely similar on a split-second glance from 200 metres away.

Werth-less? My favorite player to hate on my team. Go nats baby

The only reason I liked this video was because there isn’t a’love’ button. He was one of my favorite players during his time with my Nats.

Good video

He looks like edge

+infinite aura

One if my favorite phillies!!!

Jayson is my neighbor

Bryce Harper before Bryce Harper

Ok

Jayson is from Chatham Illinois, a town 6 miles south of Springfield.

He didn't do shit for the Dodgers

Idk why you're insinuating that Teoscar Hernandez wasn't good and the dodgers turned him around, because that just isn't true. He's had 1 season with an OPS+ below 100, and that was a 99 in his rookie year. He usually hits in the 120's or 130's

Organic farmer? Weed ?

Better than bryce

He's from Washington, who cares

Wrong
